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.
DS2 will do this. It usually means he's working on some gas and needs to at least burp.
+1 When mine does this it's usually a burp or she has to poo... After she'll go back on and finish eating.
Well shit, just had to get dd from daycare. Woke up from nap crying with a 102 fever. As soon as we got home she started puking. Here's hoping she doesn't pass whatever this is to ds...... there really is no way I can keep her away from him since it's just the 3 of us home. Fuck man.
I slept pretty well last night. G slept on me. Hey, whatever keeps him happy.
I would totally do this but H is terrified of bedsharing. Instead baby wakes up in the bassinet every hour and a half. Ugh
Never thought I'd bed share... We still start the night in the bassinet, but after MOTN feeding it's either sleep with baby on/next to me, or no more sleep.
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...
Lol@go pats.

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.
Agreed. I haven't been there yet but you did the best thing.
runningmommy519 I do that all of the time too! I really hope that's the case, but, again, saw them driving in. Maybe just driving through the parking lot or from one to the other? They were in the waiting room for a long time, so I don't think it would have been an emergency. Honestly, I hope it was some mistake on my part, which is what I told the receptionist, and she knows me. This is really uncharacteristic because I like to give parents the benefit of the doubt 99% of the time. Ugh.
Any tips w/ th Ergo, hiimjamie,? Mine arrived yesterday and I haven't tried it yet.
I have the 360 w the infant insert. I put it on around my waist first. Then put J in the insert, position him where I want and then put the straps on and clip it in the back. You'll definitely need the insert. They carry them at our local Target. I always think the arm straps are tight enough and then end up asking my wife to tighten them bc it feels like he slips lower. I feel so much more secure carrying him in this vs the wrap.

I just cleaned both bathrooms in my house. Now I'm sitting before DS1 wakes from his nap then I'm going to throw a movie on and clean the kitchen. My parents are coming into town tomorrow and my brother/family are coming from Arizona on Saturday.

We started off the day (after our usual diaper change, feeding, pumping & coffee) with a short stroll around the neighborhood. I will be so glad when the weather cools off and we can spend more time outside exploring. It's too hot to be out for more than 20 minutes or so at a time. Then we had lunch and a friend came over for a visit, which was nice.
Glad to have gotten out when we did, because then the skies opened up & we had a huge thunderstorm. Lost power for a few minutes here and there; Liam slept through everything...until he pooped right up his back. Then it was bath time.
Now we're waiting on the dang UPS man to show up with the crib mattress. I've been waiting for this thing for almost 2 weeks now. The UPS guy "accidentally" returned it last week, because he thought it was an outgoing package (we were out of town, and it was sitting on the porch). Grrrr. It's after 5pm, and he's never been this late. I want to get the nursery together this week.
If the storms/rains are done, we are going to use our brand new grill tonight! Yay!
I saw someone at target that not only had the car seat propped on the cart but the baby was way to big for the infant seat.
I used to work at target. The horror stories I could tell...the pumpkin seats make the carts top heavy. Having a flailing child standing up in the kid seat area also makes the cart top heavy.

Holy shit, my husband just said he would clean the bathrooms tomorrow in prep for our DD1's 2nd birthday on Saturday. I didn't even bring up the topic of cleaning the house, he did. I think my yelling at him the other morning worked..... Or hell froze over.... Either way, he's finally pitching in without me nagging so I'm happy.

Y'all are not gonna believe the day I've had.
I went to pick up my dd from preschool and saw them all coming outside but didn't see my dd anywhere. No big deal...maybe they had an extra aide today and she's inside using the bathroom. I go inside and don't see her, so I head towards the bathroom. I hear running water. I walk in and my dd is in there ALL BY HERSELF with her pants around her ankles washing her hands. There is no adult in the building anywhere. I get her cleaned up and walk back out to the classroom with her. We wait for the class to come back in and the teacher says something about V not finishing finding rocks. I said she never made it outside with you, and she tried to tell me she did, and I told her I watched them all go outside. My dd was never with them. Her face dropped. Yep you fucked up. I very calmly asked how it happened and she said she didn't know, that they'd counted the kids. Well, I took my dd and left...cried and freaked out. Called my H and told him what happened. He flipped out and called the director. After I calmed down, I packed the kids back into the vehicle and went back and asked to speak to the director immediately. He was very apologetic and told me that they'd already put new policies in place to ensure that this never happens again. All this on 3 hours of sleep. Awesome. So that was my day in a nutshell.
At DD's appointment today her pediatrician recommended a non soap cleanser like CeraVe or Cetaphil because she has some skin issues. We haven't tried it yet, but that might be an option for any little ones with eczema/baby acne.
Also baby girl weighed in at 10lbs 1oz, this was her one month checkup (5 weeks) and she was 6lbs 14ozs at birth. She has gained over 4lbs in a month.
Wake up. Scream to be fed. Ear for 5 minutes. Pass out for 5 minutes. Repeat times like 10. WHAT ARE YOU DOING CHILD?!?! I'm so confused. I'd say cluster feeding but she's acting so weird. Babies are crazy.
oopsiedaisies I'd be upset too. Sorry you had to deal with that. Obviously it was a mistake, but it's good they're taking steps to make sure it doesn't happen again.

is it possible that they counted and everyone was there, then your DD wandered to the bathroom herself?
It's literally a wide open room...how did 4 adults miss seeing her wander off during the count? What I think happened is that she was already in the bathroom without anyone realizing it prior to the count and somebody moved mid count and got counted twice after they gathered at the door.

Laverne do you wear nursing pads? I would be a leaky mess without them!
I alternate between shells, and pads, but I need nonstick dressing because no matter how much lanolin I use my scabby nips stick to fabric. If I don't pay attn to the shell on righty I will gather a pool and dump it when I bend down' it is like the splash garden at the water park. BM is so sticky.

My DS started this with his thrush. Now that we are being treated, he has been baci to normal.
MIL just told me that BFing isn't necessary if I am tired bc all her children were FF and turned out fine. Ok, yes I know that. There is nothing wrong with formula. But BFing is what I want to do and I have made it almost a month now so thanks for your advice but no thanks.
