it was really long in a freezing classroom, but good! Very informative. I've never had a jon that offered benefits before so it was interesting to learn about what they offer. It seems like a really awesome company to work for! I start next Thursday, the day after my 6 week pp checkup.
That's why were confused. It was definitely baby acne to start. She still has bumps (some look like white heads) but her skin is also red and rough. I have eczema and so does DS, but his was never this bad, which is why I'm just not sure. Please share anything that works for you!
Nothing has helped yet. DD1 had eczema so I've been doing the same with DD2- only bathing twice a week with aveeno and coconut oil for moisturizer. But something is bothering her. I didn't think it was the aveeno because we've been using it since birth and the rash just started this weekend. It wash only the second time I used the coconut oil, so maybe it was that? I gave her a bath last night without the oil but it still looks bad today. I may pick up a different body wash this weekend if its still bad. I was also thinking heat rash like kaeguri said.
ETA: I'm just trying to talk myself out of thinking she has measles...damn Google.
Maybe try CJ's Butter Plus? Its all natural, I use it for diaper rashes but it also says good for psoriasis, eczema, cradle crap, thrush etc.
Sitting in the waiting room of the ped's office for a well visit. It always makes me antsy. But, you guys, on my way in I saw someone pull into the parking lot from the street, park, and the front-seat passenger got out of the car holding a baby in her lap. Two other adult passengers got out of the back seat. I hope I saw that wrong. I really really really I saw that wrong. What do you even do in a situation like that? I'm at a loss.

Did they go into the pedi office too? If so, maybe mention it receptionist and the nurse or dr could discretely talk about car seats
Baby girl is 9 pounds! (5 weeks old and was 7lbs at birth, dropped quite a bit then started working her way up again) The doctor's feeling much better about her recent gain since last week.
I'm also having a more positive outlook today. Today is already much better than yesterday! And football kicks off tonight. GO PATS! Though I wonder how much of the game I can stay up for...

I got so pissed yesterday. Walking into the grocery store, I saw a lady holding a tiny little newborn. So cute! And then I saw the guy next to her smoking. Right there! Right next to the baby! Not bothering to even blow the smoke in the opposite direction at the very least! I was so angry. I didn't know what to do. Should I have said something? I probably should have. I'm so non confrontational though. Ugh I hate myself for not saying something.

Yeah. And the ped is a close family friend.
I really hate to be that person, and I understand the gravity of bringing up the issue. But the adult came out of the car way too quickly to have taken the baby out of a car seat after parking. It just seems so unthinkable that I must have seen it wrong. :/
B is going to the doc's today. He has been very congested and it's leading to him spitting up more and not eating as much. I'm not sure what they can do but I want to make sure it doesn't lead to an ear infection since DH had horrible ear infections (and eventually tubes) as a babe.

I think this is great advice. Please say something.
I'm so sick of sucking snot out of poor DS2's little nose. I really hope we are at the worst right now and he starts to clear up. Poor kid has had s rough 4 weeks of life so far.
H leaves early tomorrow morning for a guys trip with his Dad and Brother and I'm nervous to survive the weekend with a sick NB and a constantly on the go Toddler. I need all the Luck!
H is out buying a deep freezer. My BM had taken over our freezer and we have no room for food because obviously my BM > food for the rest of the family
I need my sleeping DS to fall into a deep sleep so I can put him down. I'd like to eat lunch and need to pump again. Not to mention ththe half empty pantry I was in the middle to rearranging...

My life. I suction before eating and do some saline. I will suction after eating too if I need to and that seems to help.

I did. Thanks layloo08. The ped's office is a perfect, natural place to discuss car seats.

I saw NICU parents smoking at our hospital. We had very distinctive name stickers, so I know that's where they came from. And I saw PREGNANT WOMEN (yes, plural) smoking as well. I wanted so badly to tell them I'd see them in nicu soon. I gave them death glares instead.

It's seems to be back in his head because I suction and get hardly anything out and he'll still be gurgling. My allergies are similar in that I don't get much out when I blow my nose but I'll get really head congested and that leads to vertigo for me. Fax they are able to help.

After very little sleep CV last night, I decided to take DS to the express clinic since he was complaining about his mouth and ears hurting. They tell me they think he has pneumonia and we need to go to the peds clinic right away for x rays and that he has an ear infection. His DC providers soon was in the ER for strep this morning. This is after DS puked all over my clean bed this morning from coughing so hard. So we make the trip to the clinic and MD says no pneumonia, no ear infection, and no strep. 3.5 hrs of me crying, DS crying and lots of cursing H for leaving me for two weeks with a newborn and now a sick DS.
I'm thrilled it's just a virus, but damn. I am not cut out to be doing this on my own. 11 more days. 11 more days.
Does anyone else's LO pop off a billion times during a feed and seem really frustrated? I thought maybe she wasn't getting milk, but it the milk running down her cheeks says otherwise. We were doing well with feeding until the last few days. I'm at a loss and getting frustrated myself.
sweetsyrup hugs to you, what a rough time! You can do this!
MIL is watching Miles for a little bit to give me a break. I'm waiting on my nails to dry and then I'm going to get a birthday present for my niece's party on Saturday.
I went to a baby wearing group this morning and was able to nurse in the ring sling. Both dd and I ended up soaked in milk, but we did it. She also took a bottle from dh this morning, which was nice. I need to get on a pumping schedule so I can start a stash. She eats both sides at every feed so I am not sure when. I pumped after she nursed yesterday and only got 15 mls combined so that won't work.

*trapped in the box*
My LO has started doing this on just my left side, since I started pumping last week. I think my flow has improved and he gets startled when there is a rush/let-down. He gets kind of mad but usually I can get him back on without too much struggle. Could a forceful let-down be to blame for your LO doing it also?

That has crossed my mind as the cause! That or she gets frustrated because the bottle she is supplemented with is easier than the boob (even though we pace feed). Last night was terrible but today seems to be a little better. Hoping it was temporary...

@telos I took Ethan in the front seat with me so I could nurse him. I was so scared someone would think I was driving or had driven with him in my lap. You saw them serving though. I'm thinking if it were a true emergency I wouldn't take the time to buckle.

In laws arrived yesterday. They're a lot of fun and so great w Jake. He's their 5th gradchild! We all went grocery shopping when they got here and I wore Jake in the Ergo. It felt great. I felt really secure w him in it. The Boba still scares me to death. They're at the pool right now and Wife ran to Target so I'm watching Jake sleep in his RNP, eating trail mix and sharing the peanuts with my dog. J had an AWESOME night last night! After not sleeping at all the 2 previous nights, he only got up 3 times to feed and immediately went right back down. It was amazing. Thank you baby! He's snoozing now. Such a sleepy guy!

DS2 will do this. It usually means he's working on some gas and needs to at least burp.
Sitting outside for a few mins bc E won't stop screaming. I feel like a terrible mother.
Putting them in a safe place and walking away is the best thing to do sometimes. Catch your breath, get something to eat, a snack, and you'll be in a much better place. Hugs.
