Libby we got off the shield at about the same time you just did. LO is 14.weeks now and feeding keep getting faster and easier. As you adjust to no shield the gas and the let down can be an issue. Nice work!
jjh1119 what do you do for work? (I am in fashion also)
My dh was sick all day so I had to rearrange everything. Went to look at houses again today in our current area. I may have found something in suburbia I can handle. We will see. Baby or not I'm itching to get back to a city atmosphere.
I was.glad to see people posting about transitioning out of the rnp. I'll be looking at your ideas! I just barely got LO to sleep longer in his rnp so transferring him to the pnp sounds like a nightmare...
tacocat congrats to you as well! No more searching for that darn thing! lo was spitting up for a few days, but has since stopped. She still keeps getting choked though and has been popping/gassy even more than normal. She is also sleeping a lot more. Makes me feel like she wasn't quite getting enough before or getting too tired to finish a full feed. Did the letdown and gas issues resolve for you? Eta we just started sleeping longer in rock n play (read not on my chest) so now I feel like I'm behind! I would love to transfer to arms reach co sleeper, but so scared to go backwards since I start work Thursday
Libby the gas and let down does get better! It took about 10 days to get to a good place without the excess gas. It took about the same time for LO to adjust to the let down. Now he handles it like a champ! I agree that it must have been hard work for them to use the shield. He started fattening up after we got off of it. Coincidence? Who knows. His gaining was always consistent so I'll have to wait for his 4 month visit to see if he jumped on the percentile chart or its just his growing slowing down a bit.
As for sleep, I'm thinking doing the naps in bed with me to get LO accustomed to flat surfaces? Maybe I'll take advantage too lol
tacocat same here with weight! It's only been a week and she is getting rolls! My mom hadn't seen her and said it was startling to see the difference! She went from 4th percentile to 13th, so she was growing but not like this! Glad to hear it gets better for her. I like the nap idea I will need the cuddles this weekend after not seeing her thur and fri (15 hr shifts) I haven't been away from her more than a few hours! Good luck with the naps on your end! Edit because typing while rocking is hard
tacocat I'm a hairstylist which I wouldn't normally say is fashion but rather beauty, but the girls I work with dress as if our salon is in nyc lol, hence why I said 'fashion'. In any case, hoodies and leggings no more!
