    Got an 'answer' for my "next level" velcro baby. I was too stressed while pregnant.

    @nazpastor That’s serious crap in my opinion. I was so stressed with my 5th pregnancy. She is the most chill baby.

    Dr says I’m overfeeding

    @glen101 My preemie baby was eating 2.5 oz a feeding when she weighed 5lbs. Birth weight was 4lbs she is now 14 weeks and eats 3.5-4oz a feeding. Don’t listen to your doctor. Causes so many issues when doctors aren’t truly informed that every baby is different.

    Is it acceptable to pushback? I feel they could get him home faster.

    @eline It really depends on why your child is in the nicu. For my I’ve had 5 in the nicu. All feeder growers so with my last I knew she was ready to go home before the doctors said. Different doctors everyday and all had different opinions. I had a meeting with them all and told them this...

    5 months old still waking up 2x to be fed

    @benstiller12 I eliminated a nursing session a night. I knew they weren’t actually hungry. It was more out of habit at that point.

    5 months old still waking up 2x to be fed

    @benstiller12 Omg when mine were that age they were waking every 1.5 to 2 hours. I ended up sleep training and night weaning cause I couldn’t keep doing it. They were 6 months and the other was 9 months

    Any ballpark estimates on 8 week NICU bills?

    @joeestacy My 31 weeker was in for 21 days and it was a little over 500k before self pay discount. It ended up being 43k in the end.

    Parents of iugr and preemie babies, how are y’ll doing?

    @catrinabrosko Not IUGR but nicu baby. She’s 15 almost 16 weeks now. Was born at 33 weeks. Was home by 34 weeks. Weighed 4.15. She is doing really well other than spitting up. I think it’s because she overeats. She still hasn’t gotten the cue that she is full. Most likely do the the NG tube...

    Just the tip(s), please

    @emersonboi For me it’s more calorie intake then amount of water. As long as I’m drinking throughout the day my supply doesn’t go down. If I don’t get enough calories that’s when I notice a dip

    About to miscarry at 7 wks gestational age at home alone with a 2.5 yr old

    @chris_mil I’m so sorry. I miscarried alone with my 1 year old at 8 weeks pregnant. Make sure to keep your phone close. I lost a lot of blood and got very dizzy and almost passed out. Sit in the shower. And have your 2.5 year old set up with a tablet or something.
