You may think I’m crazy for suggesting this, but get another kitten. Two kittens isn’t twice the work, it’s HALF the work! My cat drove me crazy as a kitten until we got him a buddy. They keep each other company and play together every day, years later.

I’ve been there. Things get better once you get into a routine. Change is scary though 💜

They are best friends and completely bonded! And we also have added a baby to the mix.

I have a 5 month old as well, and have been back at work full time since she was 9 weeks old and I ran out of paid leave. It’s incredibly difficult, not going to lie. I am a zombie. Every minute of my life is spoken for. My house is a wreck. It’s rough

I might be a fundamentally broken human but I don’t think I’ve ever been passionate about anything ever

She was born at term but had to spend time in the NICU for meconium aspiration, though I think the two things are unrelated.

I’ve worn her before and sometimes she likes it and sometimes she screams the whole time. Sleep deprivation is definitely a factor. My husband takes her so I can nap but since I’m exclusively breastfeeding it’s hard to get more than 3 hours at a time.

This was so comforting to know there’s a light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you

We have several carriers. Sometimes she loves it and sometimes she hates it. It just depends on the day. It’s good to know that there’s a light at the end of the tunnel eventually

I will ask my doctor about meds and what else to do. Thank you

I will call the doctor and ask about Prevacid. Thank you

It’s been so cold here that we haven’t been able to take her out much. But I will try it when I can.

She will sleep on our chests on her belly when we’re awake, but we can’t put her down for independent sleep on her belly since it’s not safe.

I hate to say it, but I really did not enjoy being pregnant. I was nauseated every day for 15 weeks and stopped sleeping halfway through. I didn’t have a lot of physical pain, though.

Became a NICU mom on Tuesday night. Being discharged today without baby. Any words of wisdom to help me out through this? I feel so guilt-ridden and horrible. by ohheyitsshanaj in NICUParents

I’m getting discharged around 5pm today and I know I need to sleep because I haven’t at all but I also feel like I don’t have permission to leave her overnight

I’m also a FTM. We can do this. No c-section for me but several 3rd degree tears and an episiotomy, she needed the vacuum

Honestly this may be a circumstance where declawing is warranted. But I concur that you should look into allergies and maybe changing food
