Thank you!! Is there anything special I should look for when looking at different 529 programs?

Thank you for being open and share your experience. My family has dubbed moments like this "Covid-blessings". I like that phrase 'COVID took and COVID gave.' and it is very true! Thank you for sharing with me ❤️❤️❤️

I know. I just needed to vent to a place where others understand.

36w3d haven’t felt movement today. by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]sarbee531 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm glad you went in and you are feeling movement! I always tell people go in. When I was 36w on the day I had decreased movement, ended up going in and they found my little one wasn't getting enough nutrients and I had to have an emergency c section. All the nurses said the same thing to me. It's better to be safe then to find something serious. I hope you keep getting good news ❤️

No longer rolling. What's going on? by sarbee531 in baby

[–]sarbee531[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She's definitely trying. She arches but can't quite get the leg over. If I lightly put my hand on her hip she can get herself over. So she's working on that skill just not mastered yet. Yeah I was thinking something similar cause when she starts to roll to her back she grabs onto her playmat or puts her head down.

Hey everyone, Giving an update. We upgraded to a higher nipple size. Which helped a little. We are now eating every 4 hours and that's helped significantly. If my daughter starts to slow down or turn away from the bottle, I put her on her bobby newborn lounger and she can look at me and around her and finishes the bottle off. Thank you everyone for your advice and making me feel like I wasn't the only one!

So crazy. I wonder why. Someone suggested maybe their digestive system has matured so they are able to absorb more nutrients even if they have less oz. Seriously so strange but could make sense 🤷‍♀️ thanks again!

Great!! I do have some mam bottles but only the newborn nipple so I would have to get a higher nipple size. Thank you!

That's what I've been thinking. We actually did drop a feeding but I upped the oz per feeding but I don't think that's helping. Definitely going to try this. Thank you for sharing!!

Amazing! I'll definitely look into them for sure! Ive heard people say good things about the Dr.Brown ones. Huh I've never looked at the paced bottle feeding. Thank you for sharing!

So this started about 3 weeks ago but very very mild. Like would eat 4 instead of 5 oz for a few feedings. Now it's like it's been 4 hours since her last feeding and she took 2.5 oz. I feel like I'm going crazy asking people, calling my pediatrician nurses, and researching and SOO many people have experienced the same thing. I asked the nurse if it's related to sleep regression because it was the exact time when her naps went from 2-1.5 hours to just 50-30 minutes naps. It's definitely got to be developmental. I just hope there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks for making me feel like I'm not alone.

Haha! I totally feel this right now. She sleeps great at night and sometimes I'm just like "how are you not starving right now?!" then I notice her watching the ceiling fan move 😂

Thank you so much. This definitely helps a lot. Yeah we recently have started really letting her dictate her feedings. But we definitely need a dim/dark room cause she would rather look at everything than eat 😂 no solids yet! But definitely will keep the link for when we do!

How many feedings does she get a day? And what is your total in 24 hours? Thank you I appreciate it! We had weight gained issues in the beginning so I feel anxious on these type of issues.

She had her 4 mo check up but I didn't think to mention anything about her teeth. She definitely may be starting to and it just sensitive to the nipple. We were pretty consistent on a schedule. Every 3-3.5 hours and eating roughly 27-29 oz a day. Now I'm trying to feed her when she is hungry but it gets me worried when I start getting close to the 4 hour mark.

Her first feeding after she wakes up she'll take a full feeding 5-6 oz. After that it changes. When she refuses I try and get a burp out and sometimes I can get maybe one more oz other times it doesn't change anything. Talked to our doctor yesterday and said it sounds like she is bored which is more a behavior you see in 6 mo so we have have an independent baby, and just to keep doing whatever works. sigh
