***HELP.
My lo is 5mos old & starting to teeth. She has been biting down/pulling on my nipple before she starts eating cause them to be red, swollen, & tender. It hurts so bad & I seriously don't know what to do. (ftm & only woman who's breastfed in fam)
I asked my lactation consultant this question and she said if possible do not react because they can find it funny and continue to do it… When they are older and can understand no and things like that then what you should do is put the baby on the floor and say no that hurts mommy and do that every time until the baby stopped biting… I know you said your little one is only five months… So just try your best not to react whatsoever as hard as that is
I jumped & yelled ow the first time. it frightened her but she still does it! I will try unlatching and being consistent with saying no. thank you ladies!
Be consistent with saying no. no biting. unlatch for a while and then try again. My baby doesn't bite anymore since I started doing this. they understand more than we give them credit for.
My son bit down once while nursing and it hurt so bad I jumped and yelled ow, not meaning to scare him but it was my knee jerk reaction, he never bit me again though lol I would just keep taking her off when she's doing that
I heard once they get use to a nipple shield that they will become dependent on it to nurse.
hmm... maybe try a nipple shield while she's teething?
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!!
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
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. ?
thank you! I will try that!
