looking for advice. first day home with newborn. he's gotten losser stools. I have to give him 5cc of formula before I breast feed due to he's lost a lb before we came home. I am breast feeding but my milk isn't in yet. trying to see if his stools are okay or if it's something I need to worry about. he only sleeps when held on his belly. he won't sleep in bassinet and I have not been to sleep yet. in 30 mins I'll be up for 24 hours with him. any advice is welcomed
losing weight is normal: did she have already a low birth weight? because I didn't want to start giving formula because it can be difficult to get back on breastfeeding
do you have a swing ? like a baby swing. . if not you should invest in one. it saved my life.
that's transition poop , looks like it has seeds in it right ?? the first night home with Jasalynn was hard too . I ended up sleeping in a recliner .
that looks like regular newborn poop to me. It's normal for babies to loose a lil weight when they leave the hospital. Not sure how much yours lost though. even if your milk isn't in, continue to breastfeed as baby is getting colostrum which is very good for baby! you will have some sleepless nights for a little while unfortunately. maybe try swaddling baby to help him sleep.
They tend to lose weight the first few days. It's normal :)
No his stools is fine!(: my daughter lost weight too so I would get her about 1.5oz of formula before latching her on and she pooped a dark dark green so he's doing good! As long as he had about 6-8 dirty diapers in 24hrs than your fine(:
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...
I'm not planning to breast feed but would you ladies recommend breast feeding for the first time or straight onto bottles? Everyone keeps telling me different and I need advice! 😓
Ladies my 2 week old is exclusively breast fed and he's been spitting up lately. As far as the w.i.c has told me, you can't over feed a breast fed baby. But I feel like i might be over feeding him?? Any advice
Okay mommas, this is our second night home and little Ryder refuses to sleep in his bassinet. I’ve tried swaddling, feeding him before bed so he isn’t hungry, tried 3 different pacifiers, laid him down awake and asleep. Any ideas?? I just don’t know how else to get him to sleep in his bassinet and not in my arms at night.
** I had no problem with my other two boys laying in their beds but Ryder refuses to leave me.**
Sleep associations..
I've created some bad sleep associations like nursing him until he's fallen asleep or rocking him until he's completely asleep and then putting him down and I can't do that anymore. It's getting so much harder to rock him to sleep because he's getting bigger and I have a bad back. I honestly don't know how to get him to fall asleep on his own :( do you ladies have any advice ?
