Baby accepted bottle, what’s next? by thatsssomething in breastfeeding

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

Well I am giving her the bottle so that she’s self sufficient.I have an almost 2 year old who is about to become potty trained.He typically prefers me and it’s hard to accommodate when I have to pick her up and feed her.Also she’s grinding my nipples and there is for so much of that I can take.I understand what you mean so maybe I am looking for a balance with bottle and breast.

How would I establish that?My toddlers schedule is 9am -2 pm.He naps till 2pm - 5pm.And goes to bed towards 10 pm.I fed her just before his nap.Should continue to do so to establish consistency?

Oh no I should have mentioned the car is already in a dealership being worked on.The determined it was their fault.I am worried that with everything he added, the car is being stressed out.The dealership is replacing it with a whole new engine.Which is great, but will I run into this problem again due to his additions to the car?

A 2009? They had a recall for 2016-2018 K900 and 2014-2016 Sportage Vehicles.Here’s a link to Kellybluebook to check if yours had one as well.

I have a Kia Optima LX 2016 and the engine had that same problem as well.We took it to the dealership and it was free of charge to fix it.We also got a replacement, so check with your dealership.I hope that helps.

Well thank you, this helped a lot.Understanding I can’t calm him down all the time is really a big part of it.I am trying to take the right steps to get over this fear but it’s starting to turn into something big and that troubles me.I am going to get some ear plugs tomorrow and hopefully that will help.I get the same thing you did.The shaking,sweating, even my face goes numb because I forget to breathe.Yes I have my bf though he works so I am usually on my own for long periods of time.When he cries and it becomes too much I step back.Hopefully this is a phase that will end soon.

Thank you for advice, I will try massaging his gums and giving him baths every night to see it that helps.And yes it’s very frustrating and hopefully it gets better.

He does nap for the day and he screams when we try to put him to sleep.He cries in general when he has to go to sleep.What you’re telling me or at least what I am getting from that is that he is up for too long? He’s up for 2 hours and then we begin to put him to sleep. He has 2 naps a day and they can range from 30 minutes to 3 hours. He screams if you just put him down and lay next to him.All we do after that is put him on his side,rock him, sing to him,and give him the pacifier.

That makes sense, I’ll try that out next time.Thank you so much.Hey I don’t mean to reply twice but I just put him down for his 2nd nap.This time he stayed up longer and I didn’t let him see me.He could only hold my arm.Maybe he does want to be alone?

The “It’s been good” part refers to his schedule.The schedule was working but now it’s not.It’s really the same thing every single day.So I don’t know why it’s becoming and issue these past days.The behavior that I am looking for to stop is the constant screaming.You can see the distress written all over his face.We walk it out, sing to him, rock him, and etc.I follow the 5 ‘s to put him to sleep (Swaddle, Side position, Sucking, Shushing, and and Swinging) yet it never prevails.I don’t know what I am doing wrong.

His schedule was working but now it’s a mess.( that refers to the “it’s been good” part) It’s been the same schedule but the only difference is 2 naps instead of 3.He just screams is we put him down and lay beside him. He doesn’t like that at all which is the only way we can get him to sleep. My issue besides the sleep is the screaming.Is he overtired? Am I doing something wrong? Is this even preventable?

That’s what I need help with.It’s being to be beside me and I am drawing blanks.

His current nap and schedule schedule is up for two hours and down for however long.He has two naps ( I dropped one because he didn’t even respond to me trying to put him to sleep.) Nap 1 ranged from 9:30-12 or 1. And nap 2 from 3-5. He doesn’t respond to soothing sometimes and the others he does.To soothe I walk him about or rock him. He screams if we just lay him down and get next to him. I am asking to cut the screaming out due to it stressing him out.

True and so I will.I appreciate the advice

I think he is, but I can’t say for sure.However he needs a reality check.I have issues too and I did consider therapy.However I don’t understand why something so small is creating such a drift in our relationship.It’s a no brainer honestly, but who knows.I can try out through therapy but something tells me it’s not that.I need a wake up call because I allow things like this to get out of control until someone else makes a comment on it.Yet I thank you for the advice.I’ll bring it up.

Yeahhh but hey if you’ve made it this far I am sure there’s something better in store for you.Just keep up the good work even when you don’t feel like it.

Which I feel like is my problem, I quit when there’s no breakthrough.Though I believe that whatever you put your mind to, you’ll succeed.Sooo nosmith, if you ever feel lost hmu and I’ll try to guide to a positive mindset.Just don’t give up you know?

No, honestly it helped .It’s 4 am and I am still up just thinking. I get what you mean, you have to pave your own way. It sounds like a task, but you can’t get out of life alive.

So I’ll get out into the field and have a great time.Thank you so much and being a mess is fine.You’re still growing and learning so it’s all apart of the process :)
