@noldoxis On the flip side me and my siblings should have been removed from the care of my parents, multiple times. But we never were.

@999forever CPS either overreacts or underreacts. There is no in between. I’m sorry you’re going through this. It isn’t right and the doctors should be held accountable. Babies who move on their own will get bruised unless you put them in a padded room. I hope you’re switching pediatricians.

@benstiller12 Want to mention that babies waking up at night is normal and a protective measure against SIDS. They’re supposed to wake at night. If you’re getting 6 hour stretches out of her, that’s considered sleeping through the night. My 11 month old still wakes (I say wake but it’s really a...

@brione Oh man. I do praise my husband when he does well at work 🤦‍♀️ I hope he doesn’t find it condescending. Now I gotta ask.

@mh86 Mine was prorated as well, at a “family friendly” company

@kipdave Sure! We use the 4oz bottles with the standard slow flow nipple https://a.co/d/262q2fR

@filips An OT is an occupational therapist- you’ll need a pediatric OT for your case. In my experience the in-hospital IBCLCs aren’t as helpful as outside that setting. The one that saw me told me my daughter’s latch was PERFECT when it was giving me bruises and cracks.

@joshdons I haven’t read the book yet (I have it though). Can someone explain why we shouldn’t praise? Either it’s ingrained in me or completely instinctual for me.

@filips I had similar issues with my baby- bad latch and weak suck. Get evaluated for a tongue and lip tie - the moment we got hers removed her latch was immediately improved. Wasn’t perfect but she could open her mouth wide enough to get more than just my nipple. For the weak suck you could...

@person47 Yes at first we were honest and I was told that I would 100% rollover on top of her and suffocate her to death. We switched doctors. Then we learned not to say anything. Until the AAP gets their shit together and actually learns safe(r) bedsharing practices parents will continue to be...

@pz128 So it might be time to start tweaking those naps. She might be sleeping too much in the daytime at this point. I’m trying to remember when we switched nap schedules and I do believe it was around the 6/7 month mark. Our baby was on 4 naps but they were much shorter then we switched to 3...

@pz128 What’s your baby’s schedule like? How long have they been waking up like this? What’s your current sleep routine?

@holyspiritleads2truth I have a partner do 50% of everything so I don’t have a nervous breakdown.

@alwaysfaithful18 Besides the supply issues you could have if you went a full 8 hours without removing milk, you would almost certainly get mastitis pretty quickly. I remember the horror I felt when my doula told me that a “full night of sleep” looks like 2 hours here, an hour there, 4 hours...

@pencil_on_paper My husband is one of the rare men who actually do 50% (sometimes more) of the work around the house and childcare. He’s exhausted and asked his senior (experience, not age) colleague how they do it. This guy said “it depends on the wife you have and how much she’s WILLING to...
