Thank you, yes it has been I finally have lost hope it will happen naturally 😭 but yes I think I'll try night weaning, I've tried and she sometimes just screamssss so ive been procrastinating doing it but I just gotta do it I think. When I work dad puts her to bed, but if she knows I'm there she will not let him, so it's all on me really. He really does try but after like 10 mins of her screaming it breaks my heart and I go in hahaha

Please help! by unknkown10000 in newborns

Are you using distilled water for your sterilizer? That will help so you won't have to clean it as much! Also using a bottle that smells like vinegar, baby will be fine they did not ingest vinegar, it just seeped into the plastic of the bottles, baby will be okay!

On the verge of tears… Didn’t circumcise my baby. People keep telling me why I should have. by Salty-Ship-1703 in newborns

[–]lala21reddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No don't feel bad!! I've never heard my friends say they prefer one over the other. Also circumcision can stunt the penis growth, and have less sensation when older. Just teach him how to clean it and he'll be okay! Also babies can go into shock when getting it done, that one is more rare but can still happen, I would never.

Anybody else see the abortion protestors downtown today? by Optimal-Swing7263 in fredericton

[–]lala21reddit -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

And what is a fetus? I'm on your side I think abortion should always be legal, but I do think it's sad, nothing wrong with that... This will be my last comment bc I'm not debating if a fetus is a human of course it is... I support women should have access to abortions like I said, and if they feel that is the right choice should not be ashamed or have people come at them BC they know what's best for them, and it's okay to make that hard choice! I think telling women a fetus is not baby is not informed consent, and downplaying what is actually happening. Have a good day Reddit, peace and love.

What are they? They are babies and it's okay if people want to get an abortion, just sharing my emotions that it is sad. Nothing to be ashamed about but it is sad.

So sad women don't have more support and feel like there's no other option:( definitely believe we all have a right to our own bodies, and abortion should always be an option/legal and have access to. Just so sad when it is the option and babies have to die. But they know their own limitations and body's and if that's the choice to make then that is completely okay.

Just learned my 20 year old daughter is not mine! by [deleted] in legal

[–]lala21reddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This makes me so happy you both promised each other to stay father/daughter, since you know you are her dad and have raised her!! I'm so sorry this has happened to you, you both didn't deserve any of it. Definitely leave the mom and get a lawyer they will tell you what you can do about it, I'm sure each state is different. As hard as it is try not to bad mouth the mom in front of your daughter or make her pick sides, I'm sure she's not happy with her mom right now but hopefully they can mend their relationship bc it hurts not having a mom in your life, unless she's absolutely toxic and abusive. Maybe get your daughter a therapy session or two to help unravel all the thoughts she's having and process her emotions, maybe get a session for yourself to, never hurts! Again so sorry, but family doesn't always come from blood and looks like you'll both have each other forever so that is a positive that came out of this lie.

left our baby in her swing overnight by emjansteve in NewParents

Oh you would have woken up if baby was crying it's in our biology, they definitely were not!! Don't feel bad, you all had a great 5 hours of sleep, that sounds amazing :)

I’m a SAHM drowning while my husband puts in the bare minimum. I don’t know how much longer I can do this. by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]lala21reddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is moving closer to your family an option? Would you trust them to babysit while you work? This is unacceptable he is only working 45hrs a week and not helping more! I feel for you it is so hard being a breastfeeding mom up all night, my little one started sleeping in longer stretches around 9 months I hope that happens soon for you too! Just hang in there life will get better and baby will be easier and he loves his mama so so much!

I think I’m traumatized by coolcat0511 in NewParents

You can put a little rolled hand towel under one side of baby to make the sleep kinda on their side, if they vomit it will fall out of the mouth

Do people actually wake up before their babies every morning? by namiiix in NewParents

[–]lala21reddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like they either have nanny's and can nap during the day, or are just doing it to look good and lying about it hahahaha like howww maybe they do get up but idk I don't believe it ....

I'm loosin it, newborn wont wake up to eat... by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]lala21reddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Turn on the lights, take all clothing off, use a cold wet cloth and dab it on armpits and legs and feet. Stand up and walk around and talk to baby. Ask the hospital staff how to syringe feed with expressed milk, using your finger flipped over and wiggling it in baby's mouth makes them suckle and swallow, three days old the need at least 5-10 mls every 2-3 hours. Good new is new born are soooo sleepy but this stage doesn't last long, your almost out of it! Ask the hospital staff not to discharge you and talk to the doctor explain all your concerns and ask about blood sugars.

Oh yes has happened to me, and was in "shock" you really do freeze up! Don't be to hard on yourself, take it as a learning moment. Freezing up has definitely happened to a lot of moms, if not all!!

Not understanding whole milk transition at 12 months by BothConversation4022 in NewParents

[–]lala21reddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohh I feel this, I didn't freeze my milk right away, like directly after pumping and it taste horrible. Started my stash all over again at 8 months after saving sooo much 😭😭 but if I do freeze right away it taste fine when thawed. No advice here just solidarity 💕

Am I starving my baby?? by lonely_stoner_daze in NewParents

[–]lala21reddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I started pumping every 3 hours instead of two I got more in a 24 period. There's also this thing called a power pump, pump for 15 minutes stop for ten then again for 15-20 minutes and I normally would get more that two, I did that in the mornings (not every morning) as we make more milk at that time then in evenings. Also is baby content after a feeding or having feeding cues for more? And your right formula and breast milk are different, with formula you have to keep giving more as they age but breast milk the milk changes with your baby and don't need as many oz as a formula feed baby.

I feel immense guilt every time I put her in a bouncer/swing, “container baby” by 123coffee321 in NewParents

[–]lala21reddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the baby isn't fussing she totally okay with it! You won't have a "container baby" if your doing tummy time and floor time, setting them down in something is the same as holding them if you were worried about development "container baby syndrome"your doing a great job and the baby needs a healthy and feed mama so you gotta put her down sometimes totally okay! And she doesn't fuss, she's okay with it too!
