cloe111479 my girlfriend that has a 9 month old told me that she pumped 16 oz in one morning. Makes my boobs hurt just thinking about how much milk that is and how many medela bottles.
We have a few nicknames for LO. his first name is Henry but we always call him Hank. DH and I gave a few hanky panky, hanky spanks, and our newest one is Hankers.
Oh, my morning ones I do like 16-18 oz. it's crazy. All my other pumps are more in the 1 bottle each boob ratio so like 8 each pump. This week righty has been doing a bottle plus each pump. Sometimes it's just an oz other times it's like 4. It's so weird. I know it's a great problem to have but lord.. It's a lot.
(I've been extremely lucky in not having any real problems with engorgement or clogs. I think since I had giant boobs to begin with they give the milk LOtS of room to spread before I start to hurt. Like I can go 6-8 hrs before it gets painful).

This is me too. I try and pump right before I go to bed then I have no problems with the little one sleeping through the night. I think I could pump 16 ounces in the morning but I usually stop at 10-12 because I don't want to buy bigger bottles.
DS sleeps through the night a lot but when he doesn't, he usually gets up between 3 and 4. Last night, he decided to wake up at midnight. What the heck?! And DH and I had just gone to bed because we stayed up talking. Grr.
I'm still afraid to stay up and do anything, including reading or talking. Hopefully I'll feel more comfortable with her sleep habits in a another month or so to start adulting at night again.
This is me too. As soon as I lay DS down I run to pee and immediately attempt to fall asleep. Idk what to do bc it's taking 1.5-2 hours to get him back to sleep this week. I'm completely exhausted. DH will feed him/change him but acts helpless in getting him to sleep.
I haven't had more than a 3 hour stretch in days.
I'm trying to get him to nap. I know he is tired. He will fall asleep in the car and stay asleep longer stretches than in his RNP. I'm going to attempt his crib again. We haven't tried that for over a month. I need this to improve before I go back to work in 4 weeks.

Holy 6 week growth spurt, y'all, my kid just actively nursed for 30 minutes. That's double his usual. We burped several times but I'm still waiting on an epic spit up that's got to be coming.

2 month shots are not going well. He did fine with the actual shots and then took a long nap but now hes so sad. We gave him tylonel so hopefully that helps. I feel so bad for him!

This is my day also. Temp went to 100.5 so I gave him Tylenol. Made him feel better but now he's due for a nap and fighting it. I've been holding him since 2:30 and need a break. Sleep, baby!
And I know it's a great problem to have but... Why is my right boob aka righty suddenly producing like almost a whole other bottles worth during pumps. I just had to switch bottle way earlier and will have to move it to a bag at work since I don't have that many bottles!
Lefty is going to get a complex.
I'm just curious because I go back to work in a couple weeks and will have to pump for missed feedings, (right now I'm just pumping extra in The am for a stash) how long do you pump at one time?

DS had his shots yesterday and is the same way. The shots themselves weren't too bad (for him he just cried for a min, I teared up) but he was crabby yesterday and somewhat today, the tylenol totally helped. I am guessing his legs are sore? How long does that last, hopefully not more than a day or two?
Did anyone keep your baby owners manual from the hospital? I think they forgot to give me one and I need some troubleshooting.
Seriously, normally he's the easiest baby in the world. Today I think he doesn't even know what he wants. Guess it's time to pay my dues for him being so easy!

I pump for about 15-20 mins each time. I do it like 10 am and 2pm or as close to that as I can. I have a hands free bra. The simple wishes one and I keep working while I do it. ( I tend to plan and get things together for when I pump. Print stuff so I can hole punch and put in a binder etc. ).
Also dr agreed he might have silent reflux so we are trying meds
I think LO has silent reflux too.... We have an appointment next week. What symptoms does you little guy have?
He screams when he needs to burp and then afterwards. He also gets angry whenever he spits up and you can see him spit up and swallow it then cry often. Holding him upright after feeds helps but almost half of our feeds involve screaming
I had a glorious 1 hr nap... With him strapped onto me in an ergo. Last night he was a naughty naughty boy, woke up screaming less than an hour after his feed and wouldn't sleep again. I held him for another 2 hours til he fed again, but he didn't sleep long either.
This morning he vomited forcefully when I picked him up to burp. We both needed a change of clothing. This afternoon he did it a few more times! So much vomiting in a day. I'm not sure what's causing it. I'm just assuming he overate... If he does it again tonight then I'm taking him to the pedi.

Same, LO had them in Tuesday and has not been himself since. He slept the whole first day, and has been fussy and refusing to nap more than half hour since. Not really sure what's going on as he used to sleep about 6 hours during the day. I finally put him in the ring sling and he crashed. Not sure why it's better/different than me holding him (as I have been most of yesterday and today) but it worked. Now I'm stuck because I was supposed to go but dinner and don't want to take him out of the ring sling and wake him.
Re nicknames for Anna: Ann-bann (as in the beginning of the name game song), Ann, and Annie (just started calling her this one. Not sure if it's gonna stick.).
I ask the big one every night if she wants to "learn to go potty on the big girl potty." And every night, she says no. Tonight, she said yeah.
Crap. I would love for her to be potty trained but I'm not looking forward to actually doing it.
Tips anyone?
we did this 6 weeks ago. Rewards chart with stickers plus candy rewards worked great for us. We also went cold turkey. Bought 30+ pairs of undies and took away all diapers. Watched her like a hawk for days and she eventually got it. It sucked, it was.painful, but it's really awesome now. Good luck! We used the 3 day boot camp BTW.
I think the stickers and candy may work. How old is yours? And is she night time trained?

That's awful, poor little guy. Our little guy will spit up straight stomach acid a few hours after his last feeding or I can hear him trying to swallow and I am certain it's stomach acid. I feel so bad for him. We are trying to cut back on his feeding amounts to see if that will help. We have been keeping him upright after feedings and his crib mattress at a 30 degree angle and it helps quite a bit.
