'Bout to get real right now...my baby girl has been KILLING my nipples again recently, I think it's this latest growth spurt, she just gets too intense about it...She likes to pull on it and pop on and off roughly til I cry 😢 last night she was doing this and when I tried unlatching her to take a break she wasn't having it, she wouldn't even let me get a finger in her mouth to release the nipple, so I flicked her cheek (not that hard mind you!), because that's what my sister in law said to do if the baby was hurting me or biting down and wouldn't let go. Worst. Mistake. Of my life. She popped off and looked up and me, confused for a second, and then started crying 😭 I feel like the worst mom in the world, this was last night and she's been over it since a few minutes after but I can't get the image or sound out of my mind and it makes me cry every time I think about it...I never meant to hurt her, and I certainly NEVER want to hurt her again, I feel like a failure.....😔
@ya0515, haha forgot to tag 😉
Thanks, I usually do the breast milk but I'll try coconut oil! I had horrible latch issues in the beginning as well, she had a tongue and lip tie but they didn't want to correct it because it was slight and said it would stretch and correct itself with time. So the first month or two it was nearly unbearable pain every feed 😢 it started getting better around 3 months and then about a week ago or so she entered this latest cluster feed and she's been ATTACKING me again lol she also is trying to favor my right boob over my left, and she's mean to lefty lol....I know this is just a phase but omg I can hardly wait until it passes....I am NOT giving up now, not after 4.5 months exclusive breastfeeding! Not one bottle or pacifier, and I'm keeping it that way!!!
Jaidah couldn't even get a latch until she was 2 months. So imagine my pain then. She's 8 months now and still breastfed. We have no problems. Maybe try putting coconut oil on before and after you feed her. Just a little bit helps. Or even rub your own breast milk on your nipple

@ya0515, thank you so much, it's nice to hear that...I just feel so bad, she's only 4 1/2 months I know she's not trying to hurt me on purpose but omg....and I certainly don't want to ever hurt her, it breaks my heart 😢
You ma'am are NOT a failure!! Babies are built Ford tough lol. If she was over it soon then she's fine. You had to get her off you. I don't think I've ever dealt with growth spurts. But I have dealt with telling my daughter NO and her poking her cute Lil lip out to cry. I think it's cute. I hug her and it's all over.
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...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
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.

My sweet baby girl gained her angel wings this morning. She was my best friend, my true love my everything. She was so happy and beautiful, I'm struggling to say good bye. Sleep tight princess, mummy and daddy love you very very much ❤️
IUI Monday!!
So today I went in for my routine bloodwork and ultrasound, and found out that I have three follicles at 17mm! Plus another two at 15mm. When leaving the clinic my FS said to take another dose of gonal-f and come back tomorrow to check to see how big they got and that we would do the iui on Wednesday. Well, after getting home, taking my gonal-f and going out to shovel snow (lol) I get a call saying that I am SURGING!!! I haven't ovulated on my own, or even come close to it in years...
yay momma!!
