Hi I’m hoping someone can give me some advice on this situation…
My friend gave birth a few days ago and lost her baby shortly after. She keeps saying she doesn’t want to talk about it and to expect her to go MIA. However, I don’t want her to feel like I don’t care. How can I support her during this difficult time and how do I know what’s overstepping and what’s not?
Also I’m pregnant…. How long do I wait to tell her? I feel so bad that I have no idea what to do for her

It’s my husbands birthday and we had some people over for a small party. Everyone else is cleaning up lunch while I’m laying, nursing my baby in a dark cold room😌

Whenever he sleeps over at my mom’s house he always slept through the night. At home he always wakes every 4 hours so we gave him a bottle to see if that what’s making him sleep through the night and we were right. So the last two nights I pumped while my husband gave him an 8oz bottle. However, I noticed that when I pump at this time I only get 5-6 oz. So is this a supply issue? If so, how can I increase my supply so that he’s getting enough milk from me before bed vs a bottle? Because I miss nursing him at night but I also LOVE and need the sleep😭

Additional info: he’s dropped daytime feedings to
-morning feed
-feed before nap 1
-feed before nap 2
-feed before bed

Is this normal? He was eating from me every 3-4 hours but now it seems to only be before naps, bed and one feed in the middle of the night. So right now it’s

Eats around 10am
Eats around 3pm
Eats around 8pm
Eats around 1-2 am

Even when I get him up at 7:30 am he doesn’t seem to be interested in nursing. He cries and just wants to roll away and play when I try and have him nurse. Even when in a dark/quiet room. Just now I tried feeding him since I last fed him at 10 and he just kept trying to roll away and was biting my nipple.
I’m worried about it

I didn’t know all the invites would stop coming once I had my baby… they say “well we knew you couldn’t come because you need to be home with the baby. I didn’t want you to have to say no” but seeing everyone’s pictures on Instagram + no invite is heartbreaking. I feel like I lost the community that I was once super close to. I had no idea how much I would lose when I became a mom…

8 month old went from waking maybe once a night to nurse to every 2-3 hours. I’m in hell. He’s also refusing being spoon fed all of a sudden so I started offering BLW foods and he’s not fighting it as much but now I don’t feel like he’s getting enough.

Here’s my rough schedule:

7:30 wake up

10:30-12 nap 1

3/3:30-4/4:30 nap 2

7:30 bedtime

My sister is saying 7:30 is too early of a bedtime but idk what else to do with him cause he seems to be tired by 7. He gets so fussy in the evenings. How can I stretch this wake window????
