hey ladies, just wondering, when you guys had your new born, how long was the feeding times. my little Eric trends to latch on and falls asleep constantly. I try to wake him up, but he's a hard sleeper and if I let him fall asleep on my boob, he'll be feeding for literally hours and hours. any tips to wake him up?

@verobaby, 3 weeks. yeah, he just got back to his birth weight but that's with some formula supplementation. he wasn't gaining any weight and it made me nervous. I suspect that he doesn't know how to suck hard enough. 😢
no babies are supposed to lose weight when they leave the hospital. how old is he now?
@verobaby, my son weighed at 6.9 lbs and left the hospital at 5.15 lbs. he didn't eat much. 😢
my son was the same. the nurses made me feel horrible because "he was still hungry" after only feeding for 2 minutes when he was first born. he was born 7 lb 9 oz. he left the hospital at 7 lb 6 oz. at his 3 day appointment he gained back his birth weight plus more. he was 7 lb 14 oz. my point is as long as your baby eats something everything will he fine. my son still nurses & falls asleep quick & he's 16 lb now at 4 months. some babies are just really good at sucking so they don't feed for very long. hope that helps.
I never woke my son and still don't. He is 16 weeks now... If he falls asleep I let him sleep. He will wake up when he is hungry.
@abelsmama, @autumnrae thanks for those suggestions! I'll try those!
@betty123, yeah, I've tried those and he's sometimes still sleeping. lol
Strip him down to just his diaper or rub his cheek
tickle or flick the bottom of his feet!!!! that's what my ob suggested!
the only ones I was told we like going over the back of the head kind of like a tickle the arm, back, or feet. they've worked enough for my baby to keep sucking instead of just being there
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.
have you talked to a consultant. he's latch might not be right. that could also be why he isn't gaining weight properly
