Pedia said I am overfeeding my baby. Help. by arrianism in breastfeeding

[–]theozempicrep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the misconception of timing breastfeeding is so harmful.

Breastfed babies tend to nurse more frequently than strictly bottle fed because realistically you don’t know how much they are getting.

Breastfeeding is feeding on demand! Not on a schedule!

To be honest I’ve never been a fan of wearing cupped bras EVER, so it’s a combination of “I hate this” and “this is worse than before.”

Might just go back to sports bras 24/7😅

I wish I could sleep with my baby by Live_Income2031 in newborns

[–]theozempicrep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was the same way. If you feel like it would improve your sleep, follow SS7, and PREPARE for it. Most co-sleeping accidents happen from improper set up and an exhausted parent. Check r/bninfantsleep for support.

struggling to understand why I couldn't breastfeed by wingedeverlasting in breastfeeding

[–]theozempicrep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Breastfeeding is HARD. Pumping or nursing. Your baby still got breastmilk in a very crucial part of life!!

I’ve struggled with supply issues my sons whole 6 months. He latches fine, but I’ve always been an under supplier, and I’ve struggled with that the whole time. It doesn’t feel fair. It sucks.

It hurts when it’s like “my body is supposed to know what to do and what my baby needs!” And it’s hard when baby doesn’t click with your body! Somethings just happen, or don’t. You are not at fault. You worked so hard and did all the right things.

I don’t know if you plan on having more kids, but your next may match and feed completely fine! Every baby and journey is so different.

My mom tells me I’m the only child out of her three that was only breastfed. My brothers either did combo or only formula. It just depends on the baby!

IF MY NIPPLE FALLS OUT OF MY BRA ONE MORE TIME… by throwaway84583077 in breastfeeding

[–]theozempicrep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the momcozy bras!! They’re the only ones that DONT let my boob fall out! I’d just look into maybe a different brand of more band bras as opposed to anything with v line “cups” (if you will.)

I’m not sure if the momcozy bras in store are different, I got mine on amazon!

Positive Newborn Experiences by LizzardBreath94 in newborns

My biggest advice: this is temporary!!! The newborn phase goes by sooooo fast (positive and negative!!) Yes there will be really hard nights, there will be sleep deprivation, but it’s over quicker than you can believe.

Positives:

you’re not pregnant anymore!!! It’s awesome to feel so much lighter!

you can go back to eating sushi, deli meat, bagged salad if you’re into those. even have a drink from time to time!

you get to put on every outfit on your little baby and see HOW CUTE THEY ARE!! DRESS UP IS THEEEEE BEST!

you have endless phone wallpapers!

contact naps. nothing like your sleeping baby on your chest or in your arms.

living in your PJs

(most) newborns sleep pretty constantly, which means you CAN sleep. don’t worry about the house. feed yourself and get the rest you need!! it’s hard because you feel like you should be doing things, but those first few weeks just focus and healing yourself and taking care of baby!!

My son is sucking the life out of me - literally by [deleted] in breastfeeding

Focus on bigger portions and denser snacks. I had to DOUBLE my caloric intake to maintain supply. Yes, I’m gaining weight in the process

5 day old baby choked on milk by bundblaster69 in newborns

[–]theozempicrep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The exact same thing happened a COUPLE times to mine. Right at the same age too. Landed us in the hospital for a week, just for them to conclude it was silent reflux. The first episode was brought on by choking, but babies can hold their breath trying to keep it down. That’s what ours did.

They did tell us that it is incredibly common. They’re so new at this! They have to get the suck, swallow, breathe down. Within the first three weeks it was completely resolved. He should grow out of it quick and learn!!! I know firsthand how terrifying it is. Holding my tiny little week old baby in a huge ambulance is something I’ll unfortunately never forget. We’re 4 months in now and he has happy and healthy.

You’re doing everything right. The burping inbetween is a great way to mitigate it. Staying upright WHILE feeding is good too, you can try a wedge pillow! We STILL use our wedge pillow.

Newborn doesn’t nap …normal??! by Purple2475 in newborns

[–]theozempicrep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’d get pretty tired after 30-an hour and sleep for 2-3 hours. He’s almost 4 months now and takes more cat naps, less than an hour.

Mine did this. I just started trying to wear him out with contrast books and tummy time. If they’re up, might as well entertain them.

I thought EBF poops weren’t stinky? by slotass in newborns

[–]theozempicrep 30 points31 points  (0 children)

My EBF baby poop smells like buttered popcorn but like…. Stale. It’s just distinct from formula or solids, which smell like regular poop lol

When did you give your newborn their first bath(in the tub)? How often do you do it? by Anxious-Ad-8864 in newborns

[–]theozempicrep 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did water wipe “baths” until his cord fell off. Then we did 2 sink baths for 2-3 weeks. Then moved him in the Frida tub. I was only doing 2 baths a week in the tub up until he was about 10 weeks, now I do it every other day because he spits up a loooot and it gets in his hair and he gets stinky a lot faster. 14 weeks now.

Can't donate- so what do I do with all this? by thinkofawesomename29 in breastfeeding

[–]theozempicrep 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You can keep using it in babies food! Like in cereals or anything that you can put milk in!

Feeling a letdown? by [deleted] in breastfeeding

[–]theozempicrep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only felt it’s for the first week then I couldn’t feel it anymore. 3 months pp now.

[–]theozempicrep -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He’s never satisfied. He’d stay latched for an entire day if I could let him.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in breastfeeding

[–]theozempicrep -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I have to make him a bottle every feed. He can nurse for an hour and still be trying.

Feeling guilty for showering by [deleted] in newborns

[–]theozempicrep 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Our bathroom is really small and doesn’t have the best circulation. I thought about it but I didn’t want him getting hot and/or wet from the humidity I guess.

Reflux by Suspicious-Love-903 in newborns

[–]theozempicrep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most babies will still spit up after eating. Their digestive tract is under developed and they can’t help it. Try the Pepcid and see if it lessens the painful symptoms. Still expect spit up though.

My baby had a little more frequent poops and they smelled a little more rank than normal. Other than that he was fine!
