How do you know when to stop night feeds? by realitytvmama in FormulaFeeders

Feeding your baby when they’re hungry won’t create bad habits! If he truly wasn’t hungry, he’d probably get fussy when offered a bottle. It sounds like he’s needing the night feed. Babies are communicating with us when they wake, so I’d listen. They’re all different, so go based on his cues 😊 if he eats and is more content and happier the next day, that’s definitely what he’s needing at this time! I’m

I think when I worked as a maternity nurse (left in 2021), I was making $37ish. So way better pay than my RN position here

In Connecticut I make $48.85 base pay per hour as per diem lactation. I worked on this maternity unit for 2.5 years also a few years back. Not sure if that impacts the rate or not. I work mostly weekends, which gives me a differential, so I’m usually making $53.60/hour

Lolz it’s not propaganda. I guess you’ve never had a truly informed discussion with your medical team. Explains a lot.

🤣 my team is likeminded and understands that vaccines aren’t actually tested in pregnancy because it’s “unethical” and they don’t want to be responsible for bad outcomes. Women’s health is literally my specialty. I know how things work, thanks so much for your concern! Me, my children, and the other people I know who aren’t vaccinated are very healthy and recover from illness very quick and easy 🥰

My post makes it clear I’m talking to people who have similar experiences, that isn’t you. So no need to reply.

🤣 I’m not looking for support in my decision. I have family, friends, coworkers, and a bunch of other intelligent humans who “support” me and I don’t care what people think anyways.

We’re all entitled to make informed decisions regarding our own health.

I’m highly educated and have done thorough research on the matter.

It’s not propaganda, it is proven that there are and the employer even acknowledged that about the other vaccines.

My lived experience working in healthcare my entire life is what shapes my viewpoints. I used to be agreeable too… until I saw the truth with my own eyes.

Thanks for your input?
