Starting TWW. Anyone else? I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
Babygirl was born at 8:16am this morning. She was breathing really fast, had respiratory distress and they brought her up to the nursery to put her on oxygen and run some tests. I was only able to see her for a couple minutes, but haven't been able to hold her yet. I'm exhausted and trying to rest as much as I can so I have energy for my babygirl when I am able to hold and breastfeed her.
Just curious but can you breastfeed and bottle feed? Or is it one or the other situation? Xx Wanting And hoping I will be able to breastfeed this time around! X
Did any moms breastfeed if so how long?I was only able to breastfeed my son for a week or two weeks I had a hard time getting him to latch and I would bleed when he wasnt latched right and they would hurt so bad and leak so much ....any suggestions or tips?🤷🏾 ♀ 🤦🏾 ♀
Opinions on crying it out? My baby is 8 1/2 months old. I've tried the no tears method and it worked a couple times but now it doesn't anymore. I do squats while holding her and rock her (21 lbs baby) for over an hour each nap all for nothing. My friend said she did cry it out and by the 3rd day her baby would only cry 5 minutes and now he's totally fine with sleeping in the crib. Opinions please? I am the only one who actually raises my kid. My fiancé does not help and I have no family that helps. So it is very hard on me. Thank you Edit: because clearly some of the women on here think I'm a monster. I am an EMT. When I go back to work, I will be gone 24 hours at a time. My daughter is almost 9 months old and cries every minute she is not in my arms. As much as I want to comfort her every second of the day, I can't. And it's better I get her used to sleeping on her own now, than not letting her cry and all of a sudden mommys gone for 24 hours at a time and she completely loses it and I can't just get off work to comfort her.

Pumping will be nice for storage for like emergencies. Like I loved it when he was eating a lot and I was stressed because I didn't have enough so I would give him like three ounces to help. Or when you are ready to stop breastfeeding you will have a nice supply stocked up
