@emehri I’m not sure! My baby is still pretty little and my personal journey is still pretty fresh, but I think there’s probably a wide age range depending on the individual child. But if comfort nursing is not working for you anymore, you can definitely start working on setting that boundary...

@christopher000 I am no expert, but this seems outdated and kind of silly? I have always been told that you can’t overfeed a baby at the breast because babies will eat when they’re hungry and stop when they’re full, and if they somehow get too much, they’ll just spit up. My providers have all...

@mbeau88 For real, babies are biologically wired to just want boobs! Hungry? Boob. Tired? Boob. Bored? Boob. Cold? Boob. Lonely? Boob. Boob fixes all.

@entropy82 This sounds similar to my experience with my daughter! All the way down to how she was stuck in utero! The first few months were really slow progress for us, too, sometimes even getting worse it felt like. It’s so hard to trust the process sometimes. I don’t know if you feel the same...

@hurrix Yes, great technique! I used this a lot, too! I also kind of did a version of this while babywearing, since you can turn their head to the non-preferred side and get a little bit of a stretch as their head is turned against your chest.

@blauaugen Yes, I remember my PT and pediatrician checking my daughter’s eyes all the time! I’m sorry you felt brushed off by your NP. Hopefully that was just a fluke and won’t happen again! I also hope the appointment in March goes well and no lazy eye! It’s crazy something that’s defined as...

@jmh1232003 That’s so great that you’re seeing such great progress! We also take my son to craniosacral and chiropractor. He is pretty high tone so it’s been a huge help for him to release some of that in his body along with PT. My son is 5 months now and we’re still working on rolling, so that...

@sandra142 The first couple weeks, I noticed that my daughter would consistently sleep with her head to one side. By 2 weeks it turned into the classic “wry neck” presentation where her head literally looked twisted and bent to one side. My son was less obvious and less severe. He actually...

@emilyjackt Both of my kids have been treated for torticollis. This will be long and this information is what I have been taught by my pediatricians and PTs, otherwise I would link specific sources directly. I highly recommend getting a PT referral. ‘Y daughter’s torticollis was more severe...

@whiteybeefcake We had good success with Enfamil AR and positioning. Our daughter was slightly aspirating thinner formulas so the thickened formula really helped. Our SLP recommended asking GI for a swallow study. Highly recommend working with a SLP who specializes in feeding therapy because it...
