I pumped it Sunday afternoon and it’s Thursday night now. Is this milk still ok to feed to my baby? It was my first ever pumping so I hate to waste it but time just got away.
My baby is a month old now and my husband has made my life miserable whenever I have my mom, who is my best friend that I’m very close to come to visit. He will lose his temper at me when she comes and she loses her temper at me if she doesn’t. I’m postpartum and don’t need this drama. Plus it’s super sad that my mom can’t be a part of mine or the baby’s life during this time that passes so quickly. I could certainly use her help! Am I being unreasonable to have her here even with my husband storming out and losing his temper if I do? What amount of time do couples normally have a parent over when they have a new baby? I’m not asking my husband to visit with her or even speak to her when she comes in just to let her be here and to maybe let her rock the baby for an hour or two so that I can sleep and heal from my c section that still hurts.

I am the student but the fafsa requires spouse information and I’m wondering what of all my spouse will have to do if he did not file taxes. Is there a nonfiling form he’d have to fill out prior to my fafsa being processed?
Is there any way to get her to sleep in a bassinet even for a few hours each night? She’s 4 weeks old. My husband declares that she won’t sleep in the bassinet because she’s held too much and because I occasionally end up holding her most all of the night to prevent the inconsolable screaming she does when in the bassinet.
My family wants to hold my baby for two/three hours sometimes between feedings while she’s sleeping. My husband declares that she won’t sleep in her bassinet because of this and that I should stop them from holding her. Is too much holding really making it impossible to get her to sleep in the bassinet?
Is it normal that she wants to be on my breast for hours? This just started this evening and every time she’s taken off she starts screaming. She eats and then falls asleep only every so often sucking then but then she screams if I dispatch and try to burp. This has been going all night and it’s 3 am and I still haven’t slept. What is happening? I don’t know if I should keep feeding or take her off even though she screams and try to calm her.
My baby is two weeks old and I’m still healing from the surgery at home. I still don’t feel great and she fusses a bit and my husband has repeatedly refused to let my family see her or help either her when they come to visit. I’m just at my wits end he is being so mean to them. They want to hold her and he refuses or gets angry at me if I allow it. If they hold her for any short time he will declare that it was for hours and that it’s theirs/my fault that she won’t sleep in the crib after because he thinks she was held too long. I think the truth is that he just doesn’t want my family around her and it’s so hurtful. I am not sure what to do at this point because he is causing a ton of stress in my life, has made me cry so much when I should be enjoying this time and focusing on healing, and has basically ran off my family support and help, causing contention between them and me. My family has done nothing wrong but it looks like my husband is going to cause me to have to choose between them and him. Any ideas on how this situation could be handled?
