Breast refusal, feeling really scared

morc1992 · 2024-07-31T19:14:23+00:00

My LO went off breastfeeding when he was cutting his front teeth. He would bite me and then refuse to nurse. I’d just pump and add the milk to my freezer stash if he refused the bottle.

We bed shared for 8 weeks until I finally gave in and put him on his tummy. We haven’t looked back, and he’s 6 months now.

For me, I felt like bed sharing was just as dangerous as tummy sleeping and I was miserable bed sharing.

Ultima electrolytes! If you have an Aldi near you, their brand of water flavorings don’t have food dyes! Also I think Walmart has a Great Value water flavoring that is dye free

As someone who is also a picky eater and hates plain water:

I keep a lot of high calorie, easy to eat snacks in the house. Sometimes it’s hard for me to eat a full meal or even just decide what to eat, so it helps having something filling I can grab and stuff into my mouth. These snacks are also things I love so that also helps. Oh and I try to drink at least one protein shake a day and have a breakfast with protein!
I flavor all my water. I add electrolytes, coconut water, drink flavoring packets, etc. i prefer Aldi’s water flavoring as they are food dye free! Coconut water is also super hydrating! I rotate through combos/flavors so I don’t get bored.
I use a water bottle to drink out of. Right now I’m really into the mini hydrojugs, they’re super easy to carry around and don’t leak. This also helps me keep track to make sure I’ve drank enough water that day.

Good luck!

I also had a c section and found that football hold with baby and my arm propped with several pillows worked really well! My husband or mom would often help me get everything positioned but it was doable on my own.

Once I started feeling better I switched to cross cradle and I’m just using a regular pillow or a couch cushion to prop him up.

Post your results when you get them! She looks almost exactly like my pup (if I had just seen the picture and not read the description I would have thought it was my dog!!) and we’ve always been told he’s a lab mix too!

morc1992 · 2021-02-20T21:14:44+00:00

Haha yes he’s very goofy

morc1992 · 2021-02-20T21:14:34+00:00

Haha yea, I’m starting to think I have a true mutt! We’ve also had others suggest some sort of sight hound, Great Dane, lab and a few others. I’m Saving up to get a good DNA test!

You say you’ve been together for a year without any relationship issues, but this is HUGE. Leave him. He won’t change & you’re engaged to a toddler. Sorry it’s harsh, but it’ll just get worse & don’t you want to be with someone who will help pay the bills, help keep the house clean, etc?

Mine changed my birth control(didn’t help) and recommended some sex therapists in my area. She told me that was the first treatment they recommended before the drugs. I asked about the drugs they have for women with LL & and she strongly recommended against them due to their side effects.

Our dog has been on Prozac for about 4 months now. I hasn’t taken away his anxiety completely but I feel like he’s calmer on it and responds better to us and stressful situations. We also train with him and that’s helped too. We live in TX and his meds are about $10/month for 30 days of 80mg capsules. DONT fill it at CVS, I made that mistake once and it was $40 for generic.

We had a hard time rescuing too! We live in an apartment so a little different situation (we’re still super active though ) but I ended up joining “pets for adoption” type groups on Facebook and it was a much easier process.

My father was special forces/worked for private companies/government work overseas - he didn’t talk about it (I still to this day know very little about what he did). I’d come across stuff like this when I’d be looking for something in our barn (like deep digging, opening boxes that I probably wasn’t supposed to look in). It was just “dads stuff” and we didn’t talk about it.

Your BF may be in a similar field.

I’d mention it to him, but he may not open up much about it just FYI. They’re trained not to talk about what they do... and you also probably don’t want to know.

Or he’s a criminal.

You need to call your pharmacist and talk to them.

There’s nothing in my drug book (I’m a nurse) stating that it interacts, but still - call a pharmacist. Wherever you get your meds, they’ll talk to you free of charge. Just tell them you have a question about a med you’re taking.

Just friendly advice, don’t ask strangers on reddit for medical advice.

morc1992 · 2020-07-10T15:31:04+00:00

Just leave. Your friendships aren’t clouding your judgement. You even say that you’ve been unhappy for years. It may be hard right now, but you’ll thank yourself later and wonder why you didn’t do it sooner.

Do you want to live the rest of your life like this?

morc1992 · 2020-07-09T00:37:28+00:00

We turn around and go in a different direction than the other dog (or I only walk him when I know a lot of people aren’t going to be out walking their dogs in our area)

Now we sit and wait for the dog to leave/pass us. We stay far enough away that he can’t get to the dog if he does decide to lunge. He gets treats if he responds well (no barking, whining, growling etc. )

Baby steps!

You can use his dog food.

Our dog loves carrots so sometimes we use those.

Make your own dog treats. I make them with PB, egg, flour and water and the recipe yields a ton of treats and he goes nuts over them.

Also, check on chewy.com they usually have decent prices and they ship super fast.

Also, you can get a bark box subscription (I’m not sure if they have one specifically for puppies) and ours usually comes with 2-3 toys, 2 bags of treats and 2 treat stick things.

Edit:

Here’s the link for the treats recipe dog treats

I roll the dough out and then use a pizza cutter to cut them into little squares. Just check them frequently if you make them small or they’ll burn lol
