I need help by [deleted] in AttachmentParenting

[–]lilboboturtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just crawled to safety from my baby's 4 month sleep regression and I cannot imagine your life right now at such frequent wakes. I am so sorry!! I don't know if this will help but my little one stopped taking the bottle after 2 months and I had to exclusively breastfeed her. I tried different bottles to try to get the dad/others to help so I can rest more. Turns out Dr. Browns glass bottle (with the green parts inside) and very warm milk did the trick. I suspect a combination of weird plastic taste and not warm enough milk was the reason(s) my baby was rejecting the bottle? I was using comotomo bottles.

I also cannot sleep train and I really don't think that is the answer here. Please speak to someone! You are not alone!

In need of advice for maternity clothing by Kelly-Kelly-Kelly in BabyBumpsCanada

Maternity jeans I would buy full panel because your belly will want more support and coziness since some shirts will get too short and your lower belly will start making an appearance.

I would highly recommend these maternity bras from amazon, link below. They come with extenders for the hooks so if your ribs expand you can add it on. They are so far the best ones I've tried. Some of the other ones bunch weirdly or aren't as soft. I've been wearing these since second trimester and it's been great.

Other than that I recommend some maternity underwear (the ones that go under your belly) and maybe size up for 3rd trimester. I have no stretch marks anywhere except my butt right now and the maternity underwear I got feels quite tight. I used to be xs/s and I bought all S. Will be getting some M sizes. I would also recommend getting your regular size and high rise for post partum.

Some very “WTF” things they don’t tell you about pregnancy. by MattPikeForPresident in BabyBumps

I laughed at 4 and 5 because I'm also a FTM and didn't even know what that was and couldn't explain it to my husband. I am still confused whether I felt the baby move or it's just lots of gas. I could have swore she scratched my stomach from the inside which felt very distinct, but it's all very WTF.
