I decided to cut out dairy in hopes LO's belly will stop hurting. DH just ate a giant plate of nachos with so much cheese and now a bowl of cereal. And he's eating the cereal loudly. I'm going to go cry now.
The worst. Sorry.
FX either the tummy troubles improve or you can add dairy back!

Thanks!
after much googling, I'm starting to wonder if it's forceful let down. He definitely gulps and chokes often. I know my milk comes out fast, I've seen it literally stream out of me. I've been trying to lay back a bit while feeding, I guess I'll try to lay back a little more.
I wish these babies could just tell us what's wrong.

I literally have DD3 on her tummy when I'm full and my letdown is at its worst. It seems to make a difference. She still has gassy wake ups, so not perfect. Spit up with her is completely unpredictable (and she hates it).

Huge burps come out of him at least twice a feeding, I'm not sure how there's still gas in there!

I'm sorry. I have been there (twice). But didn't you say he had green poop earlier?

I have 2 cautious older girls. So why is it that kicking at each other, poking each other's eyes, and sitting on each other are how they play? No one is getting hurt and they laugh hysterically l, but it gives me a total heart attack.
steph does he have other signs of a dairy issue? Eczema? Diaper rash?
He did have green poop, twice in less than 24 hours. His skin is super dry and flakey, and my DH and I were just saying his poor butt is really red is this a dairy thing?

DD has started a new fun thing where about a half hour after eating, she coughs and a big mouthful of formula comes back up. It only happens for one or two bottles a day so I'm not sure if I should be concerned or it's just spit up. It makes me nervous to put her down after she eats though I normally hold her upright for 10-15 minutes after she's done.
I feel really sad tonight. Basically, my H does not like our kids. I think he is not adjusting well. DD2 cries all the time, but he is not even interested in holding her or watching her. (He was way more interested when our first was a baby.) DD1 is having some issues with losing all the attention, especially at bed time. H gets annoyed/frustrated and doesn't want to help, so I am juggling both at bedtime, leading to more screaming from both. He is snappy with all 3 of us. It's not even like his life has changed that much... He still gets out with friends, goes for a run every night. Meanwhile my "me" time is eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for dinner ar 9:30 at night. I guess I don't need solutions or anything, I just needed to vent it out.

Oh hell no. Could he have PPPD? If not, he needs to remove his head from his arse

((Hugs)). It's hard. DH had a reaaaally tough time after DD2 was born, so we have been there. Do you have any other help (local family, friends, church or other religious congregation)? Any chance YH has a touch of paternal post-natal depression?

Hey everyone! We had a super busy weekend filled with 2 birthday parties for ds1's friends, plus family visiting. Ds2 slept through most of the parties, and ds1 had a blast.
This morning I went to Target. Found a dress for a bridal shower I have next weekend. Bought 3 other shirts but when I got home and tried them on, I hate how I look in them, so they are going back. It's so hard carrying the pp weight - getting back to regular clothes where nothing fits right, clings in all the wrong places - I forgot how much I didn't like this phase. But, the dress looks pretty so that's a win. I'll work on the 30lbs.
Tomorrow ds1 goes to a "camp". It's 2 hours each morning this week. I am looking forward to a little time with just me and the baby, although tomorrow my obgyn follow up is during that time. I am hoping that ds1 does ok - I've never really left him at anything like this and he can be quite clingy in new situations (although he does have 2 friends there and knows one of the women running it).
My kid won't choke on her spit up, right? I'm so anxious now. She was on her Boppy Lounger and started to spit up and seemed like she was starting to gag so I grabbed her and held her upright and patted her until I felt like she was okay. I'm nervous about putting her in her crib after her next bottle now.

The first week when I was dealing with PPD, I didn't feel interested in my kids or want to hold them or be with them. I got treatment and now I love them so much and I am a much better mother and wife. It sounds to me like he is dealing with PPD.

I seem to remember Marc Weissbluth in Healthy Sleep, Happy Child going out of his way to reassure readers that the back is no worse for choking on spit up than the stomach.

My pediatrician says if they are in their backs they will turn their heads to spit up and won't choke on it.

So many hugs! My DH is having a very hard time with bonding with the boys so many hugs
Sorry for the moms with partners who haven't bonded with the kids yet. It's a lot of change, whether it's the first child or not. It'll happen! Just when all these changes happen, dads are working, and everyone is getting less sleep, it can be hard. Moms often probably have an easier time bonding since they have to be with the child more, for better or worse.
