So sorry I'm not replying to the past few posts. I usually always reply. My baby is only a couple days old and cries nonstop! I don't know what to do sometimes and nothing seems to be coming out of my breasts and the nurses say it's fine. I gave him formula earlier but he still cries for my nipple. And it seems like his tummy hurts. I cry everytime he cries. This is SO hard 😭😩 forget the fact I haven't slept in days, I don't like seeing my baby cry so much 😩😭 the nurses won't even tell me what's wrong
@anabezzy, yeah I noticed! Nothing comes out but it calms him down. I'll have to do this and formula on the side until I actually have milk come out. I hope I get milk! It's frustrating me because I feel like I'll never have milk! 😩
@mmmirage, yep colic is bad baby gas just keep him close and latched that's how you will get more milk, but do everything else I stated earlier too and you will get some relief
It took me almost 2 weeks after to start lactating. I had Marissa in formula now she takes from both. But it is a struggle at first.
Awhh hun 😔 pls be positive and try to stay calm cause ur baby hun can sense your stress and it goes against your body hence milk production. I think still give him the breast for comfort and hopefully it will stimulate and start the flow. And also take out the pump. Ask the nurses specifically like u know draw it down if necessary...be like don't leave me hanging here worrying....good luck love 😘
its called cluster feeding there normally just supposed to suck even though nothing comes out
it let's your body know how much milk it's supposed to produce
just don't forget to stay hydrated 😊
he might just be scared
Lilah used to cry if I didn't have her on my chest
try positioning him towards your heart or ur under arms helps me up to this day
good luck momma ❤❤❤
@mrssabby, what's colic?? Gas?? He doesn't calm down with any of those methods. Only if I give my nipple until he falls asleep, not even a pacifier. I gave him some formula because he was crying nonstoppppp so I thought he needs quick food because my boobs weren't producing anything
@krb0911, inshallah ameen! Thank u! I'm trying real hard not to stress but I guess it's a new mommy thing. Everything worries me. I'm nervous because I'm going home today so no more nurses help! Inshallah I'll be fine though! Atleast I'll have a comfortable bed. My back is killing pain and these beds are horribleeeee!
If you gave him formula and he still cries he may have colic and if he does he gonna cry like a stink, swaddle him, lay him on his stomach on ur knees and pat his back and get gripe water and give it to him
Take it easy stress is the worse thing for producing milk. My milk didn't come one till day 4 and she just wanted boobie all the time. But my constant said that's good your baby is trying to build your supply so just let them suck whenever they want it seem like a lot but its helping you. Try not to give formula because then is telling you your baby is full you do not need to produce.Try a warm compress to get it moving. Also if you are really emotional means your milk is coming in. Sounds crazy but its true I cried like someone died and i didn't know why. So just take it easy and breath. Once you are home and you can relax you will feel better. inshallah! may Allah swt help you and protect you both ameen
@regelbaby, thanks! I hope it gets better asap. He's in the nursery so I was able to sleep from like 7:45-9am! Longest nap yet. I feel guilty now 😩 im waiting for them to bring him back in. Doctor just said I can go home so I think I should get ready before adam gets back in here
@mommyofaking, it's so tough girl!!!! I didn't think it would be this bad. I panic every 2 minutes because I hear him choke or cry
@palmerwifey, thanks the doctor just came in and told me. She said it may or may not work for me and to be patient because it's only been 2 days and some women take up to 7 so I'll wait a few days and use formula for now
The first two days were he'll for me... And then things got so much better he would sleep and eat sleep and eat. Hoping things turn around for u hun
it's a pill supplement like a vitamin Wal-Mart sells it I'm not sure how much tho also mothers milk tea is suppose to help
What is fenugreek exaxtly? Where can I buy it? I'll ask the doctor if he can have it. She just left the room 😩 they're discharging me today FINALLY @palmerwifey
that's true about them not being much their little tummys are about the size of a cherry. can they give him gas drops? it's a big change going from inside you to not constantly being with you I'm sure he'll calm down in a few days. try fenugreek (sp?) i hear it helps with milk supply
Only drip drops! Literally nothing at times and the nurse says he doesn't need a significant amount until day 4-7 !! OMG . I tried patting his back and doing that thing with his legs. Nothing worked. The only way he calms down is if I put him on chest after giving him my nipple until he's drowsy . He won't even take the pacifier. Only my nipple
😯 that's gotta be frustrating . any colostrum coming out? poor lil guy maybe he has a gas bubble or is colicy
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
???
My child is NOT disgusting just because he has HFMD. I feel beyond awful that he even has it, but now I feel like facking shat since my family makes it seems like he's so disgusting. I'm just gonna lay in bed and cry ??
Bad mommy!!! :(
I dropped my phone on my baby's head this morning when I was nursing her!! :*( She cried, I cried... It was a cry fest!! :(
what are you guys thoughts on letting your baby cry...my baby goes to sleep on me but once I put him down he crys and wakes up I don't like letting him cry like that so I pick him back up. he will be a month old in 2 days.
Rant
My SO has been rude a lot ever since I've gotten pregnant...he said he doesn't care about my pregnancy, he doesn't even take one day off from work just ONE to come to at least one ultra sound appointment. I mean he's always making sure I'm fed, he lets use the heating pad, and even apologized to saying he doesn't care. He can mess with me all day but when I want to join and play around he gives me an attitude. He just makes me feel like s*** at times. He's a great fiancé don't get me wro...
it'll come with full revenge lol 😆
mine came from one day to the next
and boy were they heavy ! 😄
