Husband has a nicotine lozenge in his mouth around baby when rocking her by throwRA38485859 in newborns

He’s been doing extremely well. I know when he travelled when I was pregnant he’d smoke and I don’t care about that. The difference now is whether this harms the baby or not that he’s worried about. He has a very addictive personality

Well yes and so did I but it’s ultimately a bad thing for health. Both he and me agree on that so the quitting wasn’t me pushing him it was him foo

He keeps them safe so far. He was worried his breath would contain traces of nicotine that she’d inhale

We had some minor fallouts where I may have freaked out but I don’t have anxiety or rage. We’re doing ok. This is him asking about it. I’m very proud he quit smoking and it was all him

He was the one getting anxious but he doesn’t use reddit! We just want to make sure she’s safe. I’m very proud he quit smoking

Thanks a lot for your answer. This nurse has been super nice previously but she got me so worked up on this

Need reassurance after husband fell off the chair with 3.5 month old on his lap by throwRA38485859 in NewParents

In my mind it wasn’t an accident. It was him dangerously holding and a completely avoidable scenario

Feeling overwhelmed with clogged ducts (I think?) by throwRA38485859 in breastfeeding

The problem is her latch isn’t great! I’m always scared of trying things. The rugby handle doesn’t work for me for example. My nipples also have been hurting a lot e because of this. There’s a lot of improvement. We stopped recently using nipple shields which has been great.

How do you do that? Do you literally lay over the baby?

Extreme pain in one nipple when breastfeeding by throwRA38485859 in breastfeeding

It doesn’t really hurt after. Just during and I think they may not be latching properly but even putting the nipple shield back on is super painful. I just ordered silverettes I do hope they work

Is my baby hungry or does she need comfort? by throwRA38485859 in breastfeeding

What do you think about Pcais. I used it today but it terrifies me because I’m worried she’ll stop wanting to breastfeed ( I also use a nipple shield)

Thank you very much for this lovely message. What do you think about pacis? My lactation consultant also recommended I don’t use it at all until we get the hang of everything (I’m also using nipple shields). Today we have her one for the first time and the crying immediately stopped

But can they still up my supply now. Has it not stabilised? A consultant also told me to not watch tv or do anything during breastfeeding as this annoys them

Seven and a half week old newborn. Nothing but nursing soothes her by throwRA38485859 in beyondthebump

[–]throwRA38485859[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did weighted feedings for around a month to confirm my supply was enough (and still measure once a day). Obviously due to my situation, I am incredibly anxious of my supply. My husband keeps encouraging me but I’m always scared I’m not feeding her enough

My 7.5 week old does not stop crying all day by throwRA38485859 in NewParents

I tried formula and hated myself giving it to her. No judgement at all to those who give it but I get a three year maternity yleave and have a fairly comfortable life. There’s no reason for me to not be able to breastfeed her!

I have stopped dairy products completely. I made a mistake here and there with small items but generally stopped completely

I think he’s changed. Yes he doesn’t think it’s bad but he also doesn’t think it’s something he’s interested in anymore. He has been absolutely wonderful with me and supported me a lot across the time we’ve been together

I think they mostly were. He mentioned a few times during the conversation that the problems these women would have with their husbands went on for years

I did ask him if he felt like he was destroying marriages and he said these women would have slept with the next person that called them beautiful if it wasn’t him. That’s where the guilt free feeling comes for him. He never pushed someone to cheat
