breastfeeding mommas question! every time my daughter drinks breast milk she poops right after an some times spits up. an my milk doesn't fill her up. so gotta supplement with stupid formula.
pooping after feeding is VERY common with newborns.
Personally, if I was making enough milk (getting the average number of dirty diapers needed a day) I would stick with nursing unless she just doesn't gain weight or you personally want to supplement. just don't let anyone pressure you to feed a certain way if you don't want to.
@chhaya, that's cute though! I try everything with her. she doesn't take a pacifier she spits it out.. I just wanna know why she wants to eat so much. :( & my fiancé freaks out because she poops every single time after she gets off my boob. like it's my fault. an he's like she doesn't like it so idk
the nurses told me I needed to because she wasn't getting enough an wanted to eat more than a breastfed baby. she's only 4 days old.. :/ @gypsy.soul2
if she want the boob but refuses to nurse, she might be using you as a pacifier. my son did that crap lol
if your baby is less than 6 days old than 2oz is enough. at day 6 is when her diaper count should increase from more than 5. a poopy diaper counts as 2 diapers. ebf babies poop a lot and sometimes go days without. she's getting enough and is probably spitting up from either hind milk mm or foremilk.. no need to supplement promise momma @destineylee96
right after she eats she still wants more..so I try giving her the boob again.. nope she refuses it. she only drinks about 1oz of formula an is full.
Spitting up and pooping doesn't mean it's not enough for her. If she's having at least 6 wet diapers a day, she's getting enough.
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...
TWW!!
2dpo and on the tww journey. Anyone on the same dpo or close? Haven't decided if I will test at 12dpo or just wait and see if she shows up!!
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
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 LO was like that. Wanted to eat more than a normal newborn and ate every 45 minutes to hour and a half. After a day or so of breastfeeding my body produced more and she settled on a routine. She always poops while eating, sometimes to the point of it being by her shoulder blades. She's 3 1/2 months now and I've exclusively breast fed despite the nurses recommending formula supplements. She went from 7 pounds 12.5 ounces at birth to being close to 14 pounds at her 2 1/2 month checkup. Do what you are most comfortable with and do what you feel is best for her. If she doesn't gain weight then I'd say supplement but if she gains fine and has the necessary number of wets then I'd say just do the boob. But you know your baby best so go with your gut instinct...those rarely fail a mom.
