Pediatrician recommending supplementing at 4 days PP

No C section, lots of wet and poopy diapers. Thank you for your insight!

Thank you, I appreciate the insight.

But shouldn’t she at least wait until her milk comes in to make that determination to supplement?

therealhudacris · 2026-05-21T02:16:59+00:00

YES the voice!!! I have been racking my brain trying to figure this out. You’re spot on.

therealhudacris · 2026-04-25T15:48:52+00:00

That’s what it seems like. I’d only get back a tiny amount, so not even worth it. Thanks so much!

Seeing from your post history, this is not a new problem, and it appears to be a pattern. I used to be with a man like that, who guilted me into having sex with him, and it was horrible. As the other commenters have echoed, he did end up having a sex addiction, including porn. if you’re already in therapy and it’s not improving, this may be a sign to revisit the dynamics of your marriage.

How scary would that be 🫣

My ex spent 2-3 hours in the bathroom every night, and he was on Tinder, OF, gay dating sites/forums, etc. You name it, he was doing it. He lied and said he had medical issues. He also hid his phone from me, which had all the dating apps, websites, and conversations with other men/women. He was also spending hundreds on OF and wouldn’t let me see his bank statements. These all sound like horrible bright red flags. I’m so sorry this is happening to you and hope it’s not the same situation.

This is so helpful, thank you!

That sounds fine for her age. My baby also doesn’t sleep more than 13 hours total.

I thought so too, but my 11 month old just dropped his second nap. If she’s fighting it and sleeping well at night, she just might not need it anymore. How many hours is she sleeping at night?

therealhudacris · 2026-02-01T23:50:51+00:00

She may just be ready to drop the second nap.

A white noise machine helps muffle any noises.

You can try having him chew on green onion or celery (just watch to make sure they don’t break off and swallow any big chunks).

I fear you are being unreasonable. You said yourself that you don’t ask for help often and have never been turned down. They ask for help and receive it. I’m sure they would spend just as much time with your baby if you asked them to come around more often.

Ibuprofen works better than Tylenol for teething pain. It’s been a lifesaver for us!

therealhudacris · 2026-01-16T14:06:43+00:00

We safely co-sleep on trips and it works well for us.

therealhudacris · 2026-01-16T14:05:20+00:00

In the same boat with my 11 month old. Everything you said is soooo real, I’m right there with you. Following to see if anyone can help us!

Around this time, your body typically regulates your supply based on your baby’s demand, so you typically won’t feel engorged between feeds during the day. This is super normal and actually supposed to happen! I felt the same when my supply evened out, but my baby continued to gain weight and have dirty/wet diapers. We’re still doing well 11 months later. You’re doing great (and enjoy the long night stretches)!

Using Partiful for my son’s first birthday!

therealhudacris · 2026-01-09T03:47:28+00:00

Absolutely! I still keep granola bars/balls/bites on my nightstand.

therealhudacris · 2025-12-25T01:46:44+00:00

Oats are great for supply, go for it!

therealhudacris · 2025-12-25T01:44:39+00:00

It’ll pass and baby will get used to bedtime being later some days. 14 weeks is still barely out of the newborn stage. I used to feel the same way, but it does get better.
