I have an LC appointment Friday morning. Today we are doing more crying at the boob, and some immediate falling asleep. I just can't get this feeding thing figured out! How are you doing?
We are hanging in there. We made it through a 3 hour stretch last night, but the rest of the feedings were every hour. My nipples hurt so bad from his bad night time latch that I've been taking a break and pumping today. I think part of the problem is he wakes up because he ends of spitting up and laying in it. Then he realizes he should eat, but he's already so mad that we can't accomplish much other than tears on big ends.
I was having this problem too with the waking up from laying in spit up. Last night we out her in the rock n play to sleep instead of the pack n play and it seemed to make a big difference. We will try it again tonight....hopefully it wasn't just a fluke!

Ahh, let me know how it goes. I was contemplating trying to elevate one end of the pack n play.
bibliothecary, abvintage, Seriously!! Middle finger to the nurses that said changing a boy was "SOOO much easier than a girl." Fuck that noise.
DD never peed in my fucking face.
Amen to THIS! Cue projectile poop on arm as a distraction, then pee right in my eye so it makes it hard to see the spit up that just went all over the place.

I think I'm going to donate milk (if I am allowed to with my medications). Calling tomorrow. The minimum is 100 ounces, which is only like a weeks worth for me.

Me to. I have so much and I have no plans to go back to work. I don't know when I'd use it

I have an entire chest freezer full of snappies. I'm terrified of a power outage lol. But since she's been eating 90, and I still haven't really needed to thaw anything, I figure I have enough to give some away. Maybe I can help someone else in the nicu who is too sick to pump.

Bahahah! I just about lost another nipple from laughing while nursing.

If you can't donate to a formal milk bank because of meds, you can look into human milk for human babies. I donated to a milk bank, so I don't have personal experience with hm4hb, but I know people who've had great experiences with it and it has less restrictions than milk banks. It's a really rewarding experience though, however you go about it.
Baby M is asleep in the PNP so DD and I actually got story/snuggle time for the first time in a week. DD is sound asleep on my lap. Only downside is that I want to go to bed and I am not supposed to lift anything heavier than the baby. I can't take DD up to her bed and H is gone for a while. If I wasn't only 5 days PP, I would probably just do it anyways.

I have about half a chest freezer. I'll probably do the human milk one. I'm already in a facebook group for my state
2dumbdogs as soon as the ped said we didn't have to wake her every 2 hours to eat anymore, LO decided she wanted to wake up every 1.5 hours at night to eat on her own.
@aliam20 my DD is apparently really talented then. She managed to projectile poop 4 feet out and pee in my face. Also, Haagen Dazs vanilla is the BEST THING EVER. Thanks for reminding me to go finish that carton of it now.

Wishing I could go back and slap myself from this afternoon for letting the baby sleep so much. Now going on hour 3 of trying to get him down. Im so frustrated and H took him to the living room. H needs to sleep for work tomorrow and this is my fault for letting him sleep all afternoon. And this kid has taken 4 oz of breastmilk and 2 oz of formula in 2 hours.

Don't beat yourself up. Keeping a newborn awake can be like trying to keep a kid out of a candy store
Not really. My girl had her crankiest/ most screaming day yet! We did enjoy some sushi for dinner. My first time post pregnancy. I'm hoping we'll get out to lunch or something this weekend.
