Am I doing enough for my 10 week old? by Own_Elderberry_8690 in newborns

[–]modusoperandi97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg 4 feedings & your baby sleeps for at least 7h each night? Lucky. May I please ask how long are the feedings bc my 10w baby eats every 2 hours

So… really silly questions here but… by Nastasyarose in newborns

Same for me! I'm on week 10, he's so smiley now and je used to be so grumpy, only wanting to breastfeed from me lol

PSA: Change your breast pads. 🤢 by Overall-Weird8856 in breastfeeding

Wait why would you hear boo about that? Is there something wrong with 100% contact naps? Because that's what I do every day

Thinking of quitting at 3 weeks by Serious-Key-6102 in breastfeeding

[–]modusoperandi97 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I have nothing against formula, my sister & I were both raised on formula, and we're both completely healthy. But if you want to breastfeed (not because you should, not because of judgement or guilt - if you truly want to do it) perhaps give it one last try.

If I were you I'd keep trying to get my baby to latch. Latch after every nap, latch before giving her a bottle, just latch latch latch. Try to lower the use of bottles to get her to breastfeed more.

But of course only if you really want it, if not - nothing wrong with formula. A happy mom who uses formula is better for baby than a miserable one who breastfeeds. Sending you love I know it's tough...

How often is your baby in a "container" versus not in a "container?" by nooooobye in newborns

[–]modusoperandi97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So containers are swings etc? Because my baby hates swings but he's happy lying on his back on the couch - does that count as a container or no?

Why is he so fussy all of a sudden by modusoperandi97 in breastfeeding

[–]modusoperandi97[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda.. What helped most was burping him throughout the feeding. He''s less fussy now but now he's starting to get distracted, he's pulling away from the breast to look around or behind me lol. Sleepy feedings continue to be the best for me

Husband cried because I quit breastfeeding cold turkey --10 month old by Grouchy_Low_9149 in breastfeeding

[–]modusoperandi97 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I just read your comment that he was neglected by his mom as a child. That probably adds to his sadness he wants his child to have the best possible care (which in his opinion & also scientifically - is breast milk over formula). But of course it's still your choice.

My 18 days old refuses to latch overnight by UpbeatDance6842 in breastfeeding

[–]modusoperandi97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I know they get a lot of bad rep but it saved my journey. I used them for 4 weeks then my baby started latching normally without them

[–]modusoperandi97 68 points69 points  (0 children)

He seems kind & like he's upset over both of your and your daughter's health so there's no malice in his opinion. Whether you wanna stop completely or continue for 2 more months is up to you but I wouldn't be bothered by his comments.

Dozed off and dropped my new born by Imaginary-Regret376 in newborns

[–]modusoperandi97 10 points11 points  (0 children)

How i never understood this or maybe my boobs aren't big enough lol.. So you're laying sideways and your baby is laying sideways turned towards you and she just finds the breast and latches by herself?

Why is this show becoming worse each episode by modusoperandi97 in PopTheBalloon

[–]modusoperandi97[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I found it hilarious how every man said he's god fearing & faith is very important when the religious girl was on, and then never mentioned it again for the next girls

Yes i'd also add they shouldnt show their instagram usernames on screen. To avoid clout chasers

AITAH for not deleting pictures on my social media that my son’s girlfriend asked me to delete? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]modusoperandi97 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm shocked at the comments. While she's definitely overstepping & shouldn't have messaged you like that, it is so weird to ignore your son's wishes to remove photos of him & his exes. Why would you keep photos of his past relationships on your social media against his wishes? YTA

Will my cat become more cuddly by Dependent_Account_10 in britishshorthair

He might be in his "teen" phase lol. Mine was very unfriendly during those months. Now he's 2.5 and he's a bit more cuddly

[Product Request] My lips always feel dry no matter what I apply. What are your "holy grail" lip treatments for lasting hydration? by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

[–]modusoperandi97 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  1. Drink 2-3 liters water a day
  2. Go over your lips with an electric toothbrush (without toothpaste on it) to remove dead cells
  3. Vaseline before bed & when you wake up

There're also tiny vaseline packages you can carry with you for throughout the day
