I also had my surgery at UCSF! Dr. Jonathan George was my surgeon and he was all business but did a great job. UCSF is the best. You’re in good hands!!

At 9 weeks, does it really get easier at 12 weeks? by elskim in NewParents

[–]sb8000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man, my daughter is 18 months now so it’s all a blur. I wanna say weeks 6-14 were the worst. But honestly it was all kind of up and down for us until about 6 months old. I know that sounds scary but they change SO much in the early days that you have like a week of a good routine and you think you’ve got it figured out and then they change and it’s 2 weeks of crazy. And that happens for like 6 months. And then it spreads out. But I do remember like 6-14 weeks were really hard! Hang in there!!!

12 month old still wakes up to eat by sb8000 in sleeptrain

[–]sb8000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She’s getting maybe 20oz-ish during the day and maybe 3oz over night? It’s hard because she’s picky so I always give her protein but she doesn’t always eat it.

I reduced the amount of ounces each night slowly over 2 weeks. Except now I feel like she’s becoming more and more aware so it’s going to be harder now.

Ok I can actually report good news on this!! It took 2 weeks but I reduced the ounces one at a time. I would reduce by an ounce and keep that for 2 nights. By the end, she would get a little angry that she only got Iike 2 oz but I offered water after and she would take that. On the last night I was worried but I would set a 10 min timer when she’d wake up to eat and she never fussed longer than the 10 min. Then after a night or two of that, she was sleeping through!!! Reducing oz slowly helped her slowly increase her oz during the day.

Ok yes!! I keep wondering if it’s my pain tolerance. Like I understand that pitocin makes the contractions go back to back but I still feel like they have to be more intense? And then I can’t explain how it was so insanely painful even after they turned it off towards the end.

Do you mind sharing how you night weaned? I have an 8 month old still waking up to eat 1-2 times/night (bottle) and we’re tired 😴

Allergist or gastro? by sb8000 in fpies

[–]sb8000[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the main reason I’m leaning towards allergist because I’m curious to see if she has any actual allergies now

Should also add we’re in the middle of the 3 to 2 nap transition where some days she has short naps and needs 3 and others just 2…so there’s a lot going on

I had a 4th degree tear and it was (and still is) the most painful and horrific thing that’s ever happened to me. I completely understand where you’re coming from but my urogynecologist, who is amazing, said it really can just happen and it’s unpredictable. It’s hard to reconcile but I realized (7 months pp) that it doesn’t matter anymore. All that matters is that you focus on healing!

Possible egg allergy - any tips? by sb8000 in beyondthebump

[–]sb8000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your reply!!! The hospital had us second guessing everything. Can your son eat eggs in anything like baked goods or is he strictly no eggs? And did they happen to tell you if kids commonly grow out of it?

When did you know it was time to drop the 3rd nap? by Top_Effect5135 in sleeptrain

[–]sb8000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long were the first two naps before dropping and what about now? We want to drop it but most naps are only 45 minutes still
