@yuliia Newborn stage is soooo hard. I’m a FTM to a 9 week old…it’s so hard! I’ve had infertility for years and wanted a child so badly…And now that I’m here, I’ve had these kind of thoughts too sometimes. I’ve had some rough moments where I asked myself: what have I done? I do love my baby so...

@klsmo3 Yes! I do go to sleep with baby because he won’t go to sleep without me…or the breast. He has like this 7th sense when he’s alone in the room. I rock him or comfort nurse him - he seems to be falling asleep deeply - I wait 15 minutes or so by his side to see if he’s moving - nope - I...

@indigostarfire Wow…what your wife went through is a LOT! I had a 12 hour labor and I was induced. I had an epidural, but had it earlier and didn’t work anymore by the time I had transition contractions. 3 hours of those and I begged for a C-section. Your wife is tough…she lasted a long time. Wow…

@vespin Geez…that’s a tough one. We struggled with this (and still struggle with this problem). Is my baby being overfed (and possibly refluxy) or is my baby really hungry? Does my baby grow so much because I overfed or is my baby truly hungry because of wanting to grow quick due to genetics...

@voice_itw I was induced…got an epidural that failed. At 7cm dilation, my water broke and really painful contractions started that ramped up. When they put me to bed to monitor baby, I had a panic attack and puked all over the floor because I couldn’t move during contractions. I managed them by...

@banlawya 5.5 month old here. Co-sleeping because he will stay awake in his crib and cry…also because he wakes up ghe minute I put him down to sleep. He usually wakes up 2-3 hours during the night to nurse…sometimes more often 30-60 minutes. He wakes up at 6 am every morning. Yup…poor sleeper...

@psalm51flower I co-slept with my now 4 months old from 1 or 2 weeks PP. We never had any issues. I nurse him and he still wakes up every 2-3 hours to nurse (sometimes even 1 hour), but I pop up the breast - feed him shortly and he falls right back asleep usually. He wakes up so often that I...

@mamba I do hope that is the case for me also…I did notice an increase in my supply for the past few days, I hope I am right.

@skelendke Thank you for this throughou response. I do work with a LC, but I think I need to search for another LC for a second opinion. The consultation I received was to pump in between feedings, at 1.5 hours after BF…and to continue what I am doing now. It did improve things, but really...

So, my baby boy is 5 weeks old, is combo fed and he’s gaining weight exponentially. I think the weight gain IS from combo feeding and I need to change something. He’s 11.3 lbs at 5 weeks and still gaining rapidly. My pediatrist told me he measures almost as a 2 month old. Our current feeding is...
