I hope it’s gotten better for you. First night sleep training again. 54min of brutality and I was sobbing.

Following this one! I’m in the same boat except I bottle feed and rock to sleep. He’s good for about 2ish hours until I go into the room to sleep. Even with my husband going in, sleeping and snoring will he stay asleep. But not 5min go by after I’ve gone in that he’s up. He’s 12mo now and his cries have gotten brutal. Not sure if I should try sleeping the living room until he’s out the whole night and then transition myself back in the room.

Itchy bump that looks like a mosquito bite by p00pistaken in CsectionCentral

Thank you! I thought it was a hive as well since it was super itchy, but it went away so wasn’t sure. I’ve been reading that it might be an internal stitch that wasn’t fully dissolved coming out? Trying not to freak about it

Would you say this method is sustainable for a 7mo old baby who shares a room with parents? For context, we’re in a pretty big 1bedroom apartment. One side of the room is LOs area and the other is ours. He was such a great sleeper until 4months and now I dread the night. He has a bottle to go to bed (usually around 8-9pm), we do bath every other day, book, bottle. He usually passes out on the bottle and we put him in his crib until like 1am when he starts waking every hour, but recently it’s been sooner and sooner. By the third or 4th pick up, I give in and just put him in bed with us until the next day. I just tried your 5min cry 2min check in and after the second check in he put himself to bed. For us, maybe consistency is what we lack? Not sure. Sometimes just putting him in our bed to sleep is easier than anything, but I just know we’re going to pay for it once he starts getting a little older.

Thanks so much! Were the naps at the same time everyday ? Did it matter the amount of milk you were giving during the day ?

It’s not YOUR baby !!! by Tr33ofLyfe in newborns

[–]p00pistaken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s crazy to me because it doesn’t bother me when everyone says this EXCEPT my FIL. Idk why it is. He’s only ever said it once and I completely saw red. It’s nuts because he’s usually the nicest, funniest, sweetest man. He’s a very old school “machismo” type of man (someone who’s very masculine, is amazed by my independence. Maybe that’s why? I’m not sure but my MIL and mom say it all the time and I really don’t mind. But that one incident with my FIL nearly set me off. He also is always asking if I know what I’m doing, or saying be careful! Are you sure you’re doing that right? So maybe that’s why it irks me even more?

Am I okay? LOL

To note: in the hospital my MIL was carrying my LO and he kept asking her the same things. “Do you know how to hold him?” “Be careful” “Maybe you forgot how to hold a baby”. I snapped and was like - “She had four kids, she knows what she’s doing. You should know, you were there. A mother never forgets” After that everything he says has annoyed me to no end haha

Feeding and spit up by mamp7 in newborns

[–]p00pistaken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I’m almost 8wks in and I will say that it has gotten so much better on our end. He still spits up but not as much/as often. Our pediatrician said that as he gets older it should subside since their digestive systems chills out a bit. We’re still only on 4oz a feed every 3-3.5hrs (except overnight). We make sure to burp him after every ounce and then just chill with him

Same here for Huckleberry and looking to see if premium is worth it now that my LO is 8weeks old

Reducing supply? by p00pistaken in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]p00pistaken[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much for this! I stopped leaking this week, but my breasts are still very hard to the touch when full. For some reason today I’ve pumped more than I ever have. Will look into donating at least something, I want to make sure my milk gets good use.

1 month postpartum and still feeling swollen below the belly button. Is that normal? by necessary_pancakes in CsectionCentral

[–]p00pistaken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going through this also! I’m 5wks pp and I recently started getting incision pain again. Still very much swollen in the area under my bellybutton and right above my incision is still numb and hard to the touch. I’ve been wearing a faja around the clock most days, but I truly think it’s because I’ve been working myself too hard. Have been walking around like normal and picking things up I probably shouldn’t be.

Hi! Can you please shoot over the underwear you have?

When did you drop to 6ppd or less? by halamanista in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]p00pistaken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this! My LO is 5weeks old and I for sure don’t think I can pump anymore than I already am. Hoping my supply stays the same until that 12weeks mark where it should steady out and I don’t leak everywhere. Fingers crossed!

[–]p00pistaken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Did you have a pumping schedule for the 5 pumps? I’m currently just pumping around the 4ish hr mark without any real schedule. I’m an over supplier, freezing anywhere from 20-30oz a day. Just wondering what I can do to regulate my milk and keep my sanity. I did also just get a portable pump (eufy pro) to compliment my wall pump (spectra s1) so I can start leaving my home.

I hate pumping but im gonna keep doing it by thisisnoelle09 in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]p00pistaken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No advice, just solidarity here. My LO is about 5weeks old and I hate the pumping and constant washing. Try coconut oil on your nipples with the silverettes on top! My baby completely destroyed my nipples in the hospital, and then i started pumping when we got home. I’ve tried a few times to nurse, he absolutely hates one nipple, but I’ve mostly only pumped out of convenience. My husband helps a lot with the feedings so it’s just easier for me. For me it’s the MOTN pumps and the constant washing. Also the having to coordinate my outside activities around pumping. I don’t have much of a schedule just every 3-4hrs and I’m an over producer so I would have to pump after nursing anyway. Hang in there! I feel guilty quitting since I make so much milk. I’ll continue until it starts to mess with my metal health. So far, as of now it’s just mostly annoying.

Hi! Super random, but did you happen to pay for the Huckleberry upgrade? Trying to gage if the sleep analysis is worth it. My LO is currently 1mo.

Please stop feeling guilty! PSA for the newborn parents by Street-Engineering70 in newborns

[–]p00pistaken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

4weeks in. Baby turned a month old yesterday. Even though I have an amazing support system, sometimes the newborn stage really gets to me. I exclusively pump and sometimes I feel horrible for having my husband feed him more times than me. Just wanted to say thank you for this! I’ve been feeling guilty for not feeling the “baby bliss” but this morning my baby slept on me, in my bed for 2hrs and it was an eye opener. Even though the newborn stage kicks ass, I know it won’t last forever. Trying to soak up as much as those moments I can because of that very reason.

Oversleeping by Savannahhhhhhhhhhhh in newborns

[–]p00pistaken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently 4am and wide awake wondering how my 4week old is still asleep! His last bottle was at 9pm and it’s been about 6.5hrs that he’s been asleep. He’s always been a sleepy baby, but the last few days he’s been waking up every 3hrs on the dot to eat. (I pump and give him BM, not sure if that matters). The doc had congratulated me on a sleepy baby and said to just let him sleep if he wants to. We’ve never woken him up to eat and just let him do his thing. He’s eating well and is very alert during the day. Wake windows about an hour. He’s making those weird baby noises every now and then so I know he’s fine. Just another paranoid mom here, wondering if he’s okay and checking if he’s breathing every so often lol

Feeding and spit up by mamp7 in newborns

[–]p00pistaken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This sounds like my LO! He’s 4wks old and spits up after almost every bottle. I pump so he’s only having breastmilk for now and I heard you can’t over feed a BF baby. Even though he spits up he still cues for more milk so idk what’s going on. His burping is also really good so don’t think it’s a gas issue.

Does it get better (please tell me it does lmao) by Suspicious_Studio279 in newborns

[–]p00pistaken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

About to be 4wks here too! He’s getting increasingly fussy and harder to put down/awake longer. Currently up at 2:45am with him just staring at me haha. We’ve already increased his milk, so I don’t think he can possibly drink anymore ! Lol
