We want to go out to lunch somewhere with a shaded patio that’s not too tight so we wouldn’t be a nuisance with a stroller at the table - we’re in green mountain area so nearby towns like Golden, Morrison, Littleton, Wheat Ridge, Edgewater are good in addition to Lakewood!
Our little guy was losing too much weight in the beginning and was jaundiced so the pediatrician had us supplement with formula until my milk fully came in, now he’s 10 days old and has regained most of that weight and is doing well. We have another weight check later this week but based on how quickly he seems to be outgrowing his newborn clothes, he seems to be putting on good weight and I expect he’ll be back to birth weight at least by his 2 week check in (which was 9 lb 5 oz… He’s a big boy which I think may be part of my struggle here!) I want to cut the formula now that my milk has come in, but having trouble transitioning back to just breast-feeding. He seems unsatisfied and it’s hard to get him to fall asleep without giving him a bottle after breastfeeding. He seems to be latching well and is definitely getting milk, whenever he unlatches milk leaks out of his mouth, but I don’t know if I’m producing enough for him. Whenever I try and just breast-feed him without giving him a bottle afterwards he is insatiable, he will nurse for about a half an hour, fall asleep on the boob momentarily, but if I move at all, he will wake up and demand more boob… rinse and repeat for hours on end. The last few days I’ve basically spent the entire morning breast-feeding or with him asleep on my boob before giving up and giving him a bottle so that I can finally do anything and he can get some actual sleep. I can barely even go to the bathroom because if I pass him to my husband he’ll just fuss until I get back, unless he gives him a bottle. My ass and back hurt from sitting so much 😩 I’ve asked my pediatrician for a referral to a lactation consultant but haven’t set that up yet. Any tips/guidance/reassurance?
Has anyone had success pausing their membership when their pet died? We’re planning on getting another cat and will return to using it, but need some time, would be nice to pause for a few months.
