What it says! If you’re DDD or greater,
*and do you need to sandwich hold the whole time because your boob is double the size of your baby’s head? Just me??
I am probably a 32H right now but who’s counting
He HATES. Doing better since we removed the body insert at 11lbs but not by much. If he’s not asleep he’s screaming til he sweats. In position 2, Volkswagen Atlas.
Thank you!!
My baby is mostly exclusively bf but we introduced a bottle yesterday and I have been pumping once a day btw feeds to build an ”insurance supply.” He is almost 3 weeks old.
Pump sessions between feeds have ranged from 6 to 9 oz. Yesterday I pumped 7oz in 15min while my husband gave him a 3oz bottle which seemed to be the right amount.
We’ve done 2 weighted feeds and they have been 2 to 2 1/2 ounces. I’m assuming the fact that I am pumping ~7 ounces does not mean this guy is eating that at under 3 weeks, right?! Why would I pump that much then? For some reason this is just not clicking to me.
My baby was born with neonatal lupus. He has the standard facial rash associated with that Dx, thankfully no heart block (followed closely throughout pregnancy), and was also born with some deep ulcerative wounds on his hands and feet that follow a vascular pattern. Just over 2 weeks old and all those deeper wounds have scabbed and scabs fallen off, and facial rash improved significantly.
Rheum was consulted and we were told to NOT f/u as neonatal lupus is self-limited til my antibodies pass through his system and there’s nothing to do but minimize sun exposure. Images of his skin were shared before that response was given. However, today our dermatologist said the hand/foot wounds are atypical for neonatal lupus, so we should see rheum to talk through those and understand if they are something entirely separate.
Dealing with some conflicting medical advice as you can see. No specialist we’ve seen seems to have seen many cases (if any) of this so curious if Anyone has a child with neonatal lupus and did they have hand/foot wounds? What do you think?
