My first baby did really good with the Lansinoh. My breastfed baby is having some issues taking to bottles. Do I keep trying the Lansinoh? Or go to the Tommee?? We tried Avent, Mam, and Dr.Browns. All of which baby ended up turning her head and just screamed.
With Lansinoh she takes forever to drink. Then once she’s done she’s just spits up chunks everywhere.
Babygirl has to have an upper GI scan done and we breastfeed on demand (every hour almost) she’s teething, fussy, going through a sleep regression. They said she has to fast for at least 4 hours. I don’t think she’s ever gone that long without eating. The longest is maybe 3 hours and that’s during the night. She is latched 90% of the time. She doesn’t take a pacifier.
I don’t know what to do to start preparing for this!!
Edit to add: she will be 6 months
So my toddler is 19 months. We have been awake since 12:30am. It is now 4:30am. She was running around the house playing eating snacking laughing. We were both siting at the table eating breakfast and she just randomly projectile threw up everywhere. No fever. No cough. No gaging. Just randomly throwing up.
My MIL says this is common but I’m still panicking thinking she is sick. After she threw up she went back to eating and playing. Literally acting like nothing happened.
Since December I’ve been dealing with bad migraines and passing out. Finally saw a neurologist that put me on fludrocortisone in the morning and topiramate 25mg at night. So far the headaches have worsen. The passing out is bad as well even with compression socks and doubling my hydration like she said. I now have hardly any taste. My hands and feet tingle or go numb. And on top of it all I’m forgetting everything!!
I message the doctor her only suggestion was to break my morning medication in half and take that until I feel better.
I hate this so much!! I also have nooooo appetite despite me breastfeeding. I use to be constantly hungry and now I have to force myself to eat
My husband and I have been together for 2 years married for a year. We have two kids and I love them with my entire heart.
My husband I use to be crazy about. We use to talk and do everything together. He was so sweet and kind. He was great to be around. Then we had our first kid and things started feeling different. Postpartum hit me hard! I figured use being new parents was taking a toll on us especially with me breastfeeding. I had no drive to be intimate with him. Then we got married and shortly after we had our first issue with him being with someone else. I was trying to get over it and it took a bit, but I was also feeling pressure from him to be intimate since that was the biggest thing to him. Well we did it and boom second baby on the way.
The pregnancy was terrible and the birth was worse. It left me with so many complications with my health. Him and I now constantly fight and I’m annoyed half the time with him. He ended up quitting his job to become a content creator to play video games. I ask for help constantly with the kids and he ends up half assing it. If I ask him to get up with our oldest just so I can lay there for a bit longer he will instantly put tv on for her just to play his game. Won’t remember to feed her or give her water or anything. Then gets mad at her when she starts fussing.
So now I’m constantly taking care of them and the one time I asked him to come help me and he does I end up getting a message later saying it’s my fault that he can’t play his game now. Because his game kicked him and banned him.
And he wonders why I don’t ever want to be intimate with him.
What prenatals are y’all taking??
I’ve tried one a day- threw up instantly
Smarty pants- was to sweet
HEB- not to bad, but they were way to big and made me gag
Long story short. Me, my husband, and our two kids live with his parents.
I ended up having to watch his brother and sister. Simply because mom doesn’t want to bring her kids out with her.
For the past 2 years it’s been like that.
Come to present time and I have very bad declining health. Our youngest baby also has health issues. My husband has not been able to go to any of my appointments or hers simply because we have to watch her kids.
When I was pregnant with our second he was never able to come with me to the doctor because we always had his sister and he had to watch her.
I just had a very bad doctors appointment last week where I got bad news. I was all alone while receiving the news. I told his parents ahead of time before to appointment so my husband could be there, but sure enough come the day of and we have to watch his sister.
She’s not even mine!! But every single day I have to watch her. If I say no then we have to deal with his mom being mean and rude to us. That or she ends up beating the crap out of the girl just because they can’t get along. So I feel guilty anytime we have to leave her at home.
Just a rant because the guilt is killing me.
My doctor just put me on new medication and it’s been taking a huge toll on me. Today I woke up and felt great, but after taking my morning meds I feel like death. I’m so tired and nauseous.
I ended up bringing my girls into the room and just turning the tv on so I could just lay here until my husband can get home.
He tried going on a leave, but work kept denying him his leave time and I just couldn’t keep doing it by myself. The tv is now turning into a huge thing in the house and I hate it.
My 5 month old is exclusively breastfed. We also cosleep since it’s all around easier.
Recently my baby has decided to stop taking a pacifier and now would rather stay latched. She use to sleep almost through the night, but now she will wake up every 45 minutes just to latch. Half the time when we sleep I just keep her latched so that way she will go back to sleeping most of the night.
I’m so tired and my nipples hurt as she just got her first two bottom teeth😭😭
But on a completely different note. I finally learned how to fed while baby wearing and that has saved me soooo much
I have an 18 month old and a 5 month old. Things are getting hard now. My husband has been home trying to help me with these kids while ive been trying to get medical help due to some health concerns.
Well our 5 month old will only go to me. She cries and cries to the point of choking if anyone else holds her. I can’t even take 5 minutes to shower without her screaming and crying.
Now just recently our 18 month old is clingy and wants to be held or just wants to be in my skin 24/7. Her dad tries playing with her or talking to her and she is crying and screaming. Anyone tries to talk to her play with her and she’s climbing up my leg.
Both kids want nothing to do with anyone besides me and I love it, but it’s getting overwhelming. I don’t know what to do. If I’m out of eye sight for longer than 2 minutes then both kids are crying and screaming until baby is shaking and spitting up and the oldest has thrown up all over the place.
I don’t know what to do
No matter how much I eat or drink I’m so tired!!
By 3pm I’m just done with the day. I make sure I eat and drink every time Baby eats. But it doesn’t help. I’m 5 months in and want to give up. Please tell me what you did to battles being so darn tired!
When our girl turned 16 months we noticed she started tossing and turning more in her sleep. We kinda wrote it off and didn’t say anything.
Now she’s 18 months and sleeping next to her is terrible! She kicks, hits, rolls, tosses, and turns. She’s now to the point where she will scream and cry during the night.
We got told it was normal especially if she’s overly tired. The thing is she has a nap during the day and sleeps all night for the most part. So I don’t see how she would be overly tired.
We have also tried putting her in her own bed, but she refuses to sleep there. She will cry and cry until she is throwing up and choking herself.
So my question is this normal toddler behavior??

My MIL has been battling cancer for the past 2 months. As soon as they caught it they told her it was stage four.
She quickly started chemotherapy and her biggest fear was losing her hair.
Well two days ago she lost a chunk of her hair. So she got the courage to go and just get a pixie cut. Are got home and it honestly looked good.
Her youngest son (7 years old) kept telling her she looked funny and that she looked like a boy.
I got fed up. Told my husband to watch the kids and I went and buzzed my hair.
I cleaned up and walked out she asks me why and I told her she wasn’t going to do it alone. I’m not going to have people make fun of her because of this. We’re so know it’s a matter of time before it is all completely gone which is why I completely got rid of it.
I love my mil and I want her to feel supported
