My sister told me yesterday that she plans to wean around 7 months if she hasn't gotten her period back by then so she can get pregnant again, but also will never ever give her baby formula so she's just started pumping and freezing about 2-4 oz of breastmilk a day. (Her son is 14 weeks now.) I don't see how that's going to work and I wouldn't be surprised if she's planning on making homemade formula if she runs out of milk. I confess I would really judge giving a baby homemade formula so I changed the subject because I wouldn't be able to not say anything if she's actually considering it and I want to continue to be on speaking terms when I see her next month.

pttomato homemade formula would never even occur to me. I don't even know where I would begin to try to make it. I hope she doesn't try to do this either.

While picking up my parents' birthday cake, I mentioned that my kid was crying in the car. This somehow turned into her telling me that formula fed babies cry more and that whenever her formula-fed nephew would cry and her sister said she had to make a bottle, she felt bad for the baby. Her breastfed daughter just didn't cry like that.
I never said which way we were feeding so this girl judged me without even knowing it. Squee all around.

WTF? DD #1 cried plenty and was BF. #2 is a unicorn so it doesn't apply.

News flash to that lady: All babies cry! Some more than others!

Would someone please tell this to my breastfed baby who has been screaming all morning?
I took DD with me to vote this morning because I want her to grow up believing it is not only her privilege but also her responsibility. I'm just hoping and praying I can feel as positive about the country's leaders tomorrow as I do today.

Last night ds2 was up freaking out for almost 2 hours. I ended up feeding him, even though he hasn't eating in the middle of the night in a month. He still had trouble, but eventually settled. Why does this always happen when dh is away?
This morning my mom watched ds2 while I went to the dentist. Then I went to ds1's preschool to be mystery reader. Fast forward to after lunch - ds2 is covered head to toe in a rash. I'm bringing him to the doctor shortly. I wonder if there's a connection with the crappy sleep.

Rant, I'm sorry.
I just need to get something off my chest. I don't have anyone to really talk politics except DH (we agree on most things) and he thinks I'm nuts on this issue. So with out getting political I just want to say I'm sad. I can clearly recall watching the election returns back in 1984. I remember watching the news people put magnetic states on a black board as states were called. In high school and collage election nights were always a dinner party for my friends and I. We would eat dinner and sit around and watch the returns all night long. Even when the candidate I didn't vote for won, I still looked forward to voting and watching the returns. I went to vote today, to say I had anxiety about it would be an understatement. I have felt sick to my stomach about this since yesterday. I don't like ANY of the options, even the write ins. I changed my vote twice before I finallly cast my ballot. I've never questions my presidential choice, and certainly never dreaded watching the returns. I know my tv won't leave the news all day and I'll be happier watching peppa pig. I also know I won't be happy regardless of the outcome. It just makes me truly sad.
countrycotton so much of what you wrote is how I feel. There is no good option. It makes me sad what either candidate will do and I haven't voted yet and not sure how I feel ill vote. With our country so divided on so many issues I'm scared for tomorrow and the next 4 years,
Well, the dr appt did not go as planned at all. The rash is likely just viral and not concerning (no fever or other symptoms). He is ff amd we haven't had any changes in environment, detergent, etc.
But, the dr diagnosed him with plagiocephaly and torticollis. I have always known that he favored one side, but didn't know it was this bad. He has always had a cephalohematoma on his head (a lump from being stuck in my pelvis for so long) and that has gone way down since birth, but since his head was already a bit misshapen, I didn't notice the flat spot (on same side).
So, we need to try to get him to strengthen his neck/ go to the other side, and then we will reevaluate in one month at his 4 month visit. Not what I thought I would hear there today.
Also, when I went to vote, I wore ds2 in the ergo, which he normally loves so much. He screamed the entire time. I totally get you kid - neither of these two (and one especially!) would never have been my top choices.
countrycotton, I think our politics are very different. I'm sorry you're sad about the whole voting process.
i am actually very, very happy to have voted for XYZ. What makes me really sad is the amount of hatred, intolerance and incitement to violence that has emerged from this interminable political campaign.

My politics certainly don't line up with a lot of the members of this site, but humanity is more a binder to me thank politics. So here I am. But my sadness really comes my personal lack of...... I'm not sure. Maybe it's fear of the unknown?? Politics has always been how I geek out. Just not very geeky this time.
A bad migraine is coming on. Flashing lights happening. It's the precursor for a bad one. Anyone know if maxalt, fuerocet, or percocet are ok while breastfeeding? My doc told me they can't give me any advice and to call my OBGYN but I'm not sure when I'll hear from them
I will have NBC on the tv (antenna), NPR streaming on my laptop, and be furiously scrolling twitter
I was going to watch NBC because Tom Brokaw and Chuck. But I can't stand Savannah. I guess I could watch and make a drinking game out of how many times she mentions she's pregnant.

Do you have any frozen milk or even formula samples so you could take whatever you need and pump & dump?
I hope you feel better and it's not as bad as you're expecting.

I would be glad to fork over DD3, who is BF and has a nasty cold, to let her see just how much crying a BF baby can do.
I hope we don't have to stay up too too late tonight for election results. We are on pacific time so we still get to go to bed earlier than most of the country.
