Had my first comment on my belly size...standing at the deli counter this guy walks up and sticks his paunch out and says hey, I beat you! Then proceeds to ask when I'm due, and freak out that I might have the baby right there.

Well N popped off during a letdown and it's not reflux. My letdown has gone nuts. I'm talking I sprayed his face and the wall next to me. He's crying because he's really hungry and the letdown is too much for him to handle. Thank goodness that's all it is. This also explains why I pumped 2oz in 5 minutes this morning from one side.

I may have laughed a little at the image of spraying milk like a fire hose into someone's face. But I'm so glad you know it's not reflux!

I gave her an extra 30 mls at 1. She just finished her 2pm feeding and she's finally sleeping! Her breathing is very calm and relaxed, so I think she's full and not just cried out.
Fx that I'm just a moron and she is hungry. I'm still concerned about her shunt, but maybe that's not why she's been flipping out today.
So apparently I am lacking in mom instincts. I haven't had a single flash/panic about baby.
I also starting to worry that L is saving up all of his issues for the 'worst time ever' in the future. I mean we Haven't had any problems like many of you, and I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop.
*knocks on wood*
We haven't had any of those issues either. I've had some cluster feeding but it's never in the middle of the night. He eats then goes back to sleep usually.... with a few wakeful periods during the day. He gets the hiccups a few times a week but otherwise he's pretty chill. I really think for us the hospital stay contributed to this.
I called the pediatrician because it says in our little welcome packet to call if they are inconsolable for more than an hour. I also found her shunt paperwork and fussiness can be a symptom of it not working. There's also a thing called sunset eyes where the pressure is building up. She's been having wide eyes a lot the past couple of days. I mentioned sunset eyes, fussy, and shunt, and they want me to come in today. Appointment in 2 hours. So now I'm in panic mode.
My NST was good and my blood pressure was too. Induction scheduled for Monday morning!
My friend and baby Greyson are still doing well! She's still on mag but has been able to pump a lot of colostrum for him and he's being syringe fed for now!

That's pretty much the most accurate description of what happened ever.
My oldest is really testing me lately. Before #2 was born, I was feeling bad and like I did not have enough time left with her, etc...but lately I don't even want to hang out with her because she is defiant, rude, and just all together a pita. This also makes me feel bad. I am hoping she starts acting more like her old self soon.

Does anyone else have nightmares about dropping baby? Seriously, they are on constant replay for me. Being a new mom is scary as shit as it is. Stop making it worse brain!
DH has seen me try to catch the falling baby in my sleep
LO is knocked out on my chest after a good feed. I can't believe he's actually breastfeeding so well. I really never thought it would happen. But we kept trying -- a "successful" session meant (1) he was on the breast, (2) no one was crying -- and feeding him pumped milk from a cup. Then one day he just got it. I almost cried the first time it happened.
Good luck to anyone struggling with feeding issues. It can be a rough road, for sure.
Nipple shields seemed to work magic for us!
I wish I had given to these sooner , stuck with it. I could have avoided so many tears. Also I have mastitis now, Oh joy. I think that may have been cause by Jamming boobs into shells and too tight bras

Waiting to be seen by the on call doctor. Pediatrician says she might need a shunt revision. This would be a surgery. Sent us here to be checked out by a pediatric neurosurgeon. I'll update when we actually know something. Thanks for the t&ps.
