I hate when I try to burp DS for like 5 minutes after feeding and he won't burp and then right when I give up to re-swaddle he burps or spits up and is all sad. Why you no burp when I burp you?
So much this! I even try changing positions and yet no burp.
I have a really bad crack in my left nipple that I'm treating. It's extremely painful sometimes when DS latches on and is getting started, though sometimes it's okay.
When it's very painful I pull him off and nurse from the right then pump the left. I'll also set up the right flange even though that side isn't hooked up, and usually get about a half an ounce on that side from leaking alone.
Yay for no diaper changes since Saturday, @holachica. But boo to H leaving. How long will he be gone?
Only until Wednesday. But I'm a huge wuss and get super scared when H goes away overnight. Like, I've gone through the house with a butcher knife in hand. I'm hoping having DS now will kinda help. I'm more alert to noises, etc, therefore I will know if a murderer broke in and is hiding.
Sigh, I'm crazy, I know.
And I thought about having someone stay over with me, but H goes out of town for work about 12 weeks out of the year, so I need to get over it. I can't have someone stay every time he's gone.
The paranoia gets worse with a baby. More to protect.

You are not crazy I'm the same way. When FI worked nights I would triple check that all the doors were locked and text him freaking out about noises. I slept with a light on in the bathroom, our bedroom door closed and the closet door closed. I always check for burglars too.
Had my 6 wk pp appointment today (I'm 4w 5d pp), and stepping on the scale was the suckiest thing ever. Half down, half to go. So of course I am eating peanut butter with a spoon right now. Ummmm.
I realized yesterday that LO's hairy back is gone. It was pretty funny. His ears still have fine dark hairs on them. Guess I can't call him my little warewolf anymore though.
Holy god, LO was fed a bottle an hour ago. I failed to make him burp. Half an hour into his slumber, he started to SCREAM his head off. I couldn't figure out what he wanted. He was headbutting my chest while screaming. I drugged him with gas drops, he was out after a couple mins of headbutting.

I've stopped wearing shirts to bed bc a)they're a pain in the ass to pull up to feed when DS is screaming for the boob and b)he either spits up or pees on me just about every night.
I don't understand why of LO takes fewer naps during the day he sleeps worse at night. Shouldnt he be more tierd? It's like his sleep switch is turned off

I wear nursing camis pretty much every night. They are easy.
I only have one at the moment but I will be investing in a couple more in the near future. I didn't want to buy a lot of nursing apparel until I found out how BFing would actually work for us.
