This seems like a dumb question since I have two kids but we never did pacis. Why do you want baby to take one so badly?
With my oversupply if she wants to comfort nurse there is gagging, choking,and milk everywhere which gets her super upset and pissed off. A paci gives her comfort without the waterfall of milk.
We haven't given a pacifier because she doesn't seem to need it. Our first took one occasionally and then outright rejected it by four months. If give one if I thought she could use it.
I'm actually quite upset about my experience so far after her birth. The care I've received today has been pretty subpar (i.e.: they missed my pain meds by over an hour this afternoon despite 2 calls reminding them, and then missed my evening meds by 2 hours; I'm still waiting for lanolin I requested 8 hours ago, etc) and I just want to go home. My instincts about this hospital (if you remember my post about hospitals this is hospital A) were correct but I didn't have a choice.
I'm so mad right now, MIL (staying with us this week) just gave P (4 days old) a paci after we specifically said we wanted to wait a couple weeks to introduce.
ETA: did you wait to introduce a paci? If so, how long?
I would be upset too. Why do people think they have a say in how you introduce things to a newborn? With DS we tried introducing one at 2 mos. He hated it. This time, I don't plan on offering one but it is pretty early in the game so we will see.

Can you make a formal complaint? I would raise holy hell.make sure you get the name of the nurses that were on duty. Missing pain meds is unacceptable. Just because the baby is out doesn't mean they get to ignore you. I'm so so sorry that they are treating you so poorly.

This is why I gave a paci. I was tired of being soaked in milk!

Hugs, this is ridiculous. I would absolutely contact somebody once you go home. Pain meds are extremely important for PP care. Is there a head nurse or someone you can ask for?

Today is my first day with both kids alone. DH went back to work. So far so good. Isaac slept through the night and I was able to get Evie back to sleep after each feeding. This was the most rest I have gotten all week. Although she was up often to eat.

Ugh I had a whole post written.
Long story I don't feel like retyping- we had called the charge nurse and that still didn't help. I'm planning to email the manager of the unit this week once I've had some time removed from the situation and can appropriately reflect my appreciation for the good people, like the kind night nurse my first night when I was alone who was gracious and helped tremendously, while also expressing my disappointment at the rest of it.

K has now started projectile puking after most feedings the past 2 days. Why, why now??? Trying to think of anything I ate that might be upsetting her tummy, but my diet hasn't really been much different.
My teen's prom is next month and we are looking for a suit rather than renting. He can use it for graduation and future job interviews. Now, I'm a mom on budget so I was super excited that I found his suit jacket at H&M for $20. #score

T did the same last night and this morning. My bedding is in the wash, I'm on shirt 3 and she's on outfit 2. She keeps demanding food so I think she just ate way too much. Her sisters were never much for throwing up so this is new and strange.
My boys had acid reflux, so I've been watching out waiting for it to happen to K also. I really thought we'd escape it.
I'm wondering if my letdowns might just be too much for her. She's gulping super fast and pulls off a lot. In the shower this morning my right boob just kept leaking and wouldn't stop for awhile. Maybe an oversupply issue.

We have the same going on here. Dd1 like never spit up. This time round it isn't every feed but quite a few. The health nurse told me yesterday some babies just don't know they are full fast enough so overeat.

My baby pukes all the time. I was blaming my letdown/supply, but if she's an overeater it would make sense. *looks at empty cookie bag* #gotitfromhermama #gotitfromherpapa
My LO is also a spitter and she has all out puked a few times. My first was a spitter too but not this bad. I don't think I posted here but two weeks ago we ended up in the ER because she threw up and was making choking noises and was having trouble breathing. My mom was with me and it scared the crap out of me. We followed up with the pediatrician and determined that it was an isolated incident and since she is gaining weight like a champ and isn't in pain when she spits up or throws up she doesn't have reflux. We just use bibs and do a lot of laundry!
I think she just eats a lot and my milk comes out fast because she gulps and always has a bunch of milk around her mouth when she's finished.

I want to take a nap, but I can't. I'm too content watching LO sleep. It's so cheesy, but... she's so perfect and beautiful, even though the 3 week growth spurt drives me up a wall. I just want to look at her. Crazy, right?

Not crazy at all. I have to force myself to nap instead of snuggling and admiring DS while he sleeps.

I feel like this is what keeps me going. I'll be having a really bad day and then dd will suddenly look extra adorable or grin in her sleep and I'm like "ok totally worth it". I just want to stare at her sometimes.

Most the naps I take are cosleep naps. Best of both worlds.
