I can't get mommalawyer's post out of my head. Accidents are in such small corners, I really hope her LO recovers quickly. It made my blood go cold to read about it, it's one of my biggest fears.
Me too. I can't stop thinking about it. I hope she posts a happy update soon.
I've been thinking about her all day and have been checking back to see if she's updated. Hope to hear some good news soon.
I'm sorry for all the sleepy mamas... but I've been waiting for almost 7 wks to post this: DD slept 10pm-4:30am!!! She normally eats every 3-4 hrs overnight so our first STTN. Granted, we had a huge storm so both of us were up at 2am but we still felt rested at 0430.
We did lots of yard work yesterday and my hips/ankles are really sore today. I'm way out of shape.

Me too. We had a little scare with LO hitting his head on a 2 foot drop, and it scared me to death and I was freaking out until the pediatrician looked him over, and even still I can't imagine what she must be going through.

Dw had no sleep and I feel bad. Plus screaming baby. I'm at work. I think she has it worse than me! Growth spurt? Who knows. Back at work. Nice to have 2 cups of hot coffee!! @massybaby I agree with you on momma lawyers post. Super scary!!
Ok, after several attempts I've decided clipping my baby's nails is impossible. His fidgeting when I try just caused me to clip off a chunk of skin on his fingertip, leaving me feeling like the world's worst mother.
So what does everyone else do? File? Just put mittens on him every day? He gave himself a huge scratch on his face the other day, so something needs to be done.
If you're breastfeeding, try clipping his nails while he's on the boob (or have a partner help if you need to). My postpartum nurse in the hospital gave me that tip after DD1 and it has worked like a charm for all 3 kids. Not sure if it would work the same for bottle feeding but maybe worth a try. My kids have always been much more cooperative when they're eating.
I have also found that if it kind of fold them back when they are really long, then I can trim them without hitting her skin.
And she cooperated when she had a bottle so I could do it.

Little bit had her 2month shots and appt today. She's 12lbs 4 oz and 23 inches. My big girl.
She's had a diaper rash for a bit and I just noticed the white on her lip yesterday so .... Thrush it is. I have never been so happy to just be pumping and not breast feeding.

Nail clipping and baths are two-person jobs at our house. I usually hold LO's hand while he's sleepy and/or at the boob and H clips the nails.
Anyone who has had trouble BFing and used a IBCLC, did you ever see more than one? I just did NOT find the woman I saw helpful. $200 later and I'm still no closer to successfully BFing. Most attempts end in tears for both of us and crawl back to the pump.
I personally haven't been to one, but does your health insurance cover lc? just saw how much you paid and remembered some plans cover
It's my first day of being alone with LO while DH is at work. It's now past 2.30pm, just 3 more hours to go before i can declare today is survived. It's hard to even find time to eat. Hopefully this will get easier.

Do you want to try my girl? I really like her. She is located in P-ville too but comes to your house.
Ugh DD has been fighting sleep all day. She's so tired but just won't sleep. All my go-to tricks (rocking, bouncing, wearing her, etc) aren't working. Poor DS got screwed during story time before his nap, she screamed through both books. He was a good sport about it though. But he'll be up soon and I've spent most of his nap trying to get her to sleep. Mama needs a break, these kids have to nap at the same time!

I too keep jumping on the app looking for an update from mamalawyer. I just can't even wrap my head around it.
My little guy slept from 1:00am to 6:20 this morning. It was so very exciting, but I think it was mostly because he was so fussy and upset all evening he was exhausted. Poor buddy.

I can use my flex spending money, but I dont want to drop another chunk of cash if a different LC isnt going to help.
Is there a La Leche League group near you? They may can recommend a different LC. Probably a better venue for honest opinions than calling up the last LC and saying hey you didn't help me at all, can you recommend someone with a different approach?

Poor baby girl did not have a good day after her shots and thrush. She threw up all over dh's step mom. She's sleeping now but may not be feeling 100% yet.
Hubby is awesome. I guess I was getting a little grumpy and he convinced me to lay down with him and the baby and take a nap, even though I'd planned to make dinner. I feel awesome now!! And he's off to work and told me he'd just enjoy leftovers when he comes home in the morning

And they may even have a group that meets for free. I'm going to try and attend one tomorrow morning... at 9:30. :[
