I'm getting a massage tonight and leaving Crabby Abby at home with DH tonight and I can't freaking wait. This growth spurt has been brutal and my nipple feels like it's going to fall off.
@alyllyra you're right. I have tried things, but I think maybe she's chugging so much (though I do try to slow her down), that maybe I should break up the feed with a diaper change (instead of before or after), to let her see if she's really still hungry... And hopefully cool her jets a little ?
DH has been making the dinners recently (he's been getting home early). I want to surprise him with a new dinner recipe. Anyone have a simple go-to dinner that they recommend? We like just about everything but have been trying to eat healthy-ish.
Some of my go-to sites for new recipes are... emilybites.com skinnytaste.com cookinglight.com All of those are healthy-ish. One of my favorite super easy dinners is the "cheesy chicken enchilada skillet," from emilybites. I add in a couple bell peppers, sliced, to add a veg and increase bulk. The recipe is really good left over as well.
Ugh, DS has been on the boob ALL day. Not even eating, or sucking. Just laying there with my boob in his mouth. When I take it out, screamfest. When he unlatches himself, screamfest. Complete with flailing at the boob. :/ Why oh why

DS has slept through the night 4 times I think (11 hours one night last week!). He's about 8 pounds.
DD was consistently sleeping through the night at about 5 weeks. Also, at 7 months, she was 11 pounds (and extremely sick).
Umm... What are you doing that I'm not doing? Lol that's amazing.
I think part of it is that I just have babies that like to sleep. But here's what I've done that I think helps:
He doesn't sleep in our room. Right now he sleeps in the office and it's very dark. When he does wake up at night, I use a small night light that's in our bathroom. I try not to unswaddle him unless he desperately needs it. Boob, burp, lay back down.
Also, during the day when he's napping, he fidgets and makes noise about every 45 minutes. I think this is him transitioning sleep cycles. So I leave him alone. I don't touch him or rock him. If he does actually wake up, I'll get him.
Any idea why they do that? I'm assuming its for comfort. But when I try to give a binky, he freaks
Mine has been doing this as well, a lot today! Must remind her I am not a human pacifier!!
I cant remember who said this to tag but I had really bad cramps on Saturday and some spotting that looked like the beginning of a period. It got so bad I almost barfed and then it was gone - it lasted like 4 hours and was gone as quickly as it came. No fever, the whole ordeal was odd.
I legit almost puked in a trash can at the post office lol
xoxolicia, I peed while babywearing yesterday bc LO was sleeping soundly and i didn't want to wake her. Wanted to let you know I joined the club
I have the most bizarre fever. No idea what is going on. I had stomach pains yesterday like period cramps and then out of no where a fever sprung up. its a bit better today, and fortunately MIL is here, so she has LO right now. He was pretty good yesterday while I felt bad, happy to do his kicks in various places. He really likes his changing table for some reason and was on there for about 30 minutes while I zoned out.The plan for today was to go test drive cars. That's going to have to wait a week or so since we are gone this weekend.
Do you have a clogged duct? If it is clogged it may be getting close to mastitis.
Pretty sure it was either a food issue or just a 24 hour bug. In any case it went steadily down all day today without meds. I was checking my boobs yesterday for a clogged duct!
