I tried googling this & couldn't find the answer. On my pinned post I have a link to another post on my blog. When I click it, instead of showing it on my actual blog, it goes to the janky dashboard version of my blog. How do I fix this?
Baby was 8th percentile weight at his 1 month appointment, but dropped to 2nd at his 2 month appointment. At his weight check on Thursday he had dropped to 1st percentile, so my husband bought formula and during his night feeds he's now doing 50/50 breast milk and formula because I'm having milk supply issues.
Yesterday afternoon is when the formula reached his poo because instead of yellow it's now yellow/brown. Just now I changed his diaper and it was the yellow/brown but there was also a small red dot in it too. Advice please? Do I need to call the doctor or should I see what his next poo looks like?
I'm really new to vtm and I'm not sure of the lore. Let's say a freshly turned Tremere gets abandoned for whatever reason and shortly after gets "adopted" by a Malkavian. I assume he'd still have to learn thaumaturgy from someone, would he be able to, or would he be shunned by the clan?
There's so many flairs I could use for this, but since I can't pick multiple I'm just going with rant/vent. My baby is 11 + 2 weeks and it's never been easy to breastfeed him, but it's just getting increasingly harder instead of easier. My husband insisted I go back to work after 10 weeks and then start taking turns on intermittent leave. So I was at work last week, and I'm home this week. I was starting to notice towards the end of last week I was having more trouble latching him than usual.
On Saturday when I was breastfeeding him all day I noticed he's started doing this fun new thing where he jerks his head away almost EVERY time I try to latch him. When I persist because he needs to eat, he starts screaming and fighting me. He was already doing this before, but now he's doing it 98% of the time and it's becoming literally impossible to feed him.
He has a tongue tie that didn't get found until our first lactation visit a week and a half ago, it's still there because the lady said even if they do cut it he probably needs to get retrained on how to suck and it might not make any difference at all. His growth is stunted, his weight is in the 2nd percentile. He has reflux, the doctor won't medicate it so I don't know if it's because he has pain from reflux, I don't know if there's something in my diet he doesn't like, I don't know if he has a bottle preference now.
What I do know is that breastfeeding him was really special to me and it's just so impossibly difficult now that I think I'm done. I think going forward if he seems hungry I'll offer him boob but if he jerks his head away twice I'm just going to pump and bottle feed him. If my milk supply drops then I guess we'll just have to go to formula. I'm really heartbroken, but he needs to eat and he just refuses to cooperate with me. I can't do it anymore.
My son is 2 months old and I don't want to fuck this up. I assume a lot of it is just teaching him about consent and trying to force family members to care about his consent. Telling the boomer men in the family not to make sexist remarks or jokes in front of him, stuff like that. What are everyone's thoughts?
