layloo08 yes and no. It takes 2-3 weeks for milk protein to get out of your system, so there's a bit of a delay. DD1 only had blood a few more times, but we spent the next 6 months trying to get rid of the mucus. She ended up having additional intolerances (beef and tree nuts) and was extremely sensitive to milk and soy. She reacted to hidden dairy (whey and casein) which is in practically everything. So we had a long period of trial and error. I'm glad you're able to get in so quickly, seeing blood in the diaper can be scary. Hopefully it's nothing!
Oh goodness... The dr thinks it's just an anal fissure from him straining but to keep an eye on it.

I'm about to make the dreaded transfer from RNP to. Crib... Any advice from BTDT?
I'm not BTDT, but we're in the same boat and it makes me want to cry. I always said I would be on board with getting the baby in her own room asap....but now she's probably ready and I'm not.

I know, it's silly too because both of our sleeps would be so much better if she was in her own room. She makes so much noise while sleeping, I have grown accustomed to sleeping with a pillow over my head. But she's just so little and she's my little baby, I like her being arm's distance!

I haven't transferred Mia yet but we didn't have any issues when we moved my DS. I was so worried and he did great- we all slept better. After we officially moved him, He napped in his RNP during the day or in his crib, but at night we stuck to the crib.
Any one else have a baby that won't take a pacifier? We waited to"establish breastfeding". Now no dice. Anyone just not using one because they dont like them? I have tried two different types.

My LO won't. I have been trying since around 6 weeks when he seems he is just comfort sucking but he actively spits out the pacifier. I've tried three different ones without luck.

One of the nurses at the hospital was surprised W took a pacifier because "breastfed babies usually won't take a pacifier" we haven't used one since so that we could establish breastfeeding but I'm not holding out hope that he'll take one.
It took 4 different types to find a pacifier that Miles would take. My cousin had a son who was almost impossible to find a brand so she gave me all the ones he wouldn't take. Thank goodness I had so many to try!

My son at 7 weeks won't take a pacifier consistently. He will take a soothie but u have to make 4-5 attempts for him to realize he might actually like it. I usually just give up before then.
I wish I had introduced it more when he was fussy but I was too stressed about nipple confusion. Now I want him to take a pacifier and a bottle.
Okmm good to know we are not the only ones. I guess it's good that we won't have to worry about weaning them from that. Nelson also lick/sucks his fist.

DS1 wouldn't take a pacifier. We tried like 4 different ones before giving up. This LO will take one sometimes. As much as I don't want him to wean him later, my boobs could use a break.

DD (M14) wouldn't take a pacifier either. She never did. She sucked/s the two middle fingers on her hand. Its great for sleeping because she could always soothe herself. But I think it will be way harder to get her to stop sucking her fingers when she's older.

Yeah, our ped said to go ahead and give the pacifier b/c he was already finding his thumb to suck. The doc said it was better for himto suck something we can take away. But for the love of God, when he is falling asleep with it and it falls out, I just want to let him suck his thumb. But I won't.

So we've talked about babies sleeping on their stomachs forgetting to breath but does that pertain to sleeping skin to skin on your chest? Lately W has hated being set down, screamed for 30+ minutes in a swaddle, and is basically inconsolable. When i put him on my chest skin to skin (me topless him in a diaper) he falls asleep instantly. He still wakes every couple of hours to nurse and I sleep with my hand on his back to feel his breathing. Covers are not above my waist and I don't move all night. Does he still run the risk of forgetting to breath?
G won't take a pacifier. At all. But he's showing signs of fist sucking, so that's something.
E will nurse on his own forearm, complete with growling and attacking. You'd think he would realize quickly that nothing comes out of there, but he seems content for several minutes while I'm laughing. Then I make him stop cause I don't want to have a weird kid that goes around sucking on his arm when he's older.

Our ped (who is a very conservative CYA doctor) said no to sleeping on your chest due to them breathing in not only their own, but also your carbon dioxide.

Evie does this too. So freaking funny. DH sometimes sticks his nose in her mouth when she's rooting and she starts sucking. And then we both laugh. Found out that his dad used to do the same thing to him as a baby.

Hahaha!! He's totally attacked my nose as well. So funny! The rooting reflex is so very strong... the execution, not so much.

C was taking soothies from NICU on, and now all of a sudden decided she is above pacifiers and doesn't like them anymore. She spits it out and makes the funniest face.
How long can LO go without a wet diaper before you start to worry?
Usually every 2 or 3 hours I'm changing her. Right now I know it's been at least 4 hours, possibly more (we keep track of nursing and diapers on an app). If H didn't just forget to log a diaper, then it's been 7 hours. This seems concerning.
We EBF and she eats every few hours (and is eating right now. I can hear swallowing.) if she doesn't pee soon... I don't know. I'm worried.
So I know a lot of moms on here have said that their LOs go several days without pooping and the consensus is that newborns digestive systems are very efficient so not pooping for a few days is no big deal. Mine poops almost every diaper change and I get at least 2-3 massive poopocalypse diapers a day. Does that mean hers digestive system isnt that efficient? yay for being paranoid for everything.
