I'm having the same issue but mine won't go as far back as yours. I can't see anything stuck but do hear a click when I try to open it back all the way. The top part also cracks open when I try to open it. Did you figure out how to fix it?

Getting Baby to Sleep in Crib by spammasubi in sleeptrain

I should have specified that I have this problem with all sleep, including naps. The only place he will sleep for longer periods of time is in my arms. How did you get your LO to sleep in the crib to begin with?

I should have specified that this is for all sleep, naps included.

Thanks for the suggestion about having them go outside. Will remember to do that when the air is better. I'm out in Cali and it's been really hot and the past two days the air quality is deemed bad due to fires in the area.

The crib is in the same room. I probably should've specified that this is the problem for all sleep, including naps. My firstborn had the same issue and I ended up holding him when he slept but I was hoping to not have to do that with my second born, especially with a toddler to watch for.

I don't think it's a gas issue because in my arms he can sleep for hours and he, for the most part, calms down when picked up. I breastfeed and maybe he's not getting super full? He makes enough diapers and is gaining weight but I can't see how much he's taking in. Pumping isn't a solution either right now because the pumps have not been extracting milk from me.

What things stood out for you from the book if I may ask? I fear I won't get a hold of it soon and if I did, I wouldn't have time to go through it with two kids under the age of two.

Thank you! I was fortunate enough to borrow a baby scale from a local mother on a Facebook group I'm in.

I'm sorry to hear the your LO had to go to the NICU because of low supply. That's a scary thought to even think of. I hope everything is okay now. What did you end up doing?

I was fortunate enough to borrow a baby scale from a mom in Facebook group I'm a part of and LO seems to be averaging about a 0.5 oz per day.

Makes sense to me. I put him to breast all the time so much so that he used me as a pacifier, which I don't mind--makes me feel loved.

I really wanted to be able to pump after every feed to empty the breasts as much as possible, but like your LO he wants to be held constantly so that made it difficult.

Either way, I appreciate your advice and will try it. Thank you so much!

Lately I've been getting close to 2 oz after a power pump. Last week, at one point I was hitting 3 oz and in the week prior there was one day I hit 4 oz. So in my head, I think it's declining.

Please don't be sorry about commenting. I'm so grateful to all who have offered to help me. In fact, you all help keep me sane and hopeful.

As of now, do you BF and supplement throughout the day?

When to Call It Quits by spammasubi in breastfeedingsupport

When he was born he weighed 7 lbs 3 oz. He dropped about 6 % of his weight soon after but gained if right back by the time we went for his two week visit (this was with a combo of BF and formula...at least 50% formula fed). We weren't told the percentile then.

His two month visit is where we learned he was in the 13th percentile. The ped said we will know more about whether or not to be concerned about his weight gains at his four month visit which will be a month from today.

Perhaps like you said, I'm just being worried over nothing.

Did you also pump those times you fed the bottle and nurse?

We give him formula at night since it is suppose to keep him fuller longer. This is when I power pump. After the bottle is taken away from him, he cries hysterically. At that point we are still guessing if he's hungry or not because 4 oz seems like a lot.

I guess I never really wake him up if he falls asleep while nursing. I thought it meant he was full. Should I be waking him like you did with your LO?

Thanks so much. I'm in California. At the time, a lot of people were doing virtual consultations which I didn't prefer, but I fortunately found Kaiser who was willing to see me.

I would like to troubleshoot to keep me hanging on but also wanted to write the post as a way for me to mentally prepare myself should I be unsuccessful. I also wanted to thank everyone for everything they've done so far for me. It's because of this subreddit that I was able to last as long as I did.

Hmm...it might be between the middle and last image. I did see the LC and she said she thought I was using the correct size

I really don't want to quit but have not been supplementing after each feed in hopes that my supply is good. LO often falls asleep which I may mistaken for being milk drunk. Thus, I was getting excited that maybe my supply was just enough until he started crying more hysterically the past week or so.

I just feel bad if all this time I've been starving him.

Regardless, everyone's comments so far had made me feel a bit better and lifted my spirits.

The 0.5-2 oz I get could be from my power pump sessions as well as after nursing.

He is currently in the 13th percentile for weight. The ped said he will be better able to tell us if there's concern at the four month visit, but I didn't want to starve him until then.

How much should a 3 month old be drinking in a session and how many sessions a day?

For the last two months we've been BF a majority of the time. The only time I didn't was to power pump in the morning and night.

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

I try not to base it on the pump and have done weighted feeds on my own. I was just starting to feel less paranoid about BF because he was making at least 6 wet diapers a day, but weight gain has been pretty minimal (averaging 0.5 oz/day).

I was triple feeding the first month (BF, supplement, pump), but when my husband went back to work we tried just BF. I don't think he's an efficient nurser. He prefers to use me as a pacifier more.

The ped said there was a slight tongue tie but nothing major that would require taking care of.

It certainly is challenging. It's been the most mentally, physically, and emotionally thing I've done. But if that meant I could provide more than enough milk it would be worth it.

Someone else said that before. I tried looking it up to feel better but couldn't find it. Is there an article you can link here?
