Make your own breakfast! At what age do you think a child should be making their own breakfast? I have a 10 year old and I think he is perfectly capable of making himself breakfast. It doesn't take rocket science to put some waffles into the toaster, or microwave some pancakes. My husband insists that he needs to have breakfast made for him because if we left it up to him he wouldn't eat enough and it would take him forever.
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 and did something else with an other girl.... and it's 10:51 am now and he hasn't texted me at all. and after he dropped me off I texted him saying what I felt and nothing. I don't know if I'm over reacting or what or what should i do. do i wait until he text me?
i finally let him do it I finally let DF throw away my foundations. He says I look better without it. He said he hates seeing me cover my face with make up when I can just wear mascara and eyeliner. He says it makes me look fake and he said he's not saying it to be mean, hes saying it because he cares. Im glad he's real with me. He says I have natural beauty. He says he doesn't like it when I dye my hair or wear make up because he loves my natural beauty. I know some girls feel as though that they need make up but they don't. Make up to me is just to do it for fun and sometimes when I feel insecure. Hes the only man that has made me feel beautiful without my hair straightened, without make up on and in my baggy clothes. I can burp in front of him, I can do weird things in front of him, etc. He has taught me so many things in the last (almost) 3 years and im so grateful for him. He taught me how to make pork chops and steaks, how to play some videogames, how to make white rice, how to budget, etc.
Rant My SO has been rude a lot ever since I've gotten pregnant...he said he doesn't care about my pregnancy, he doesn't even take one day off from work just ONE to come to at least one ultra sound appointment. I mean he's always making sure I'm fed, he lets use the heating pad, and even apologized to saying he doesn't care. He can mess with me all day but when I want to join and play around he gives me an attitude. He just makes me feel like s*** at times. He's a great fiancé don't get me wrong, but he can really get on my nerves and makes me upset to the point I go to bed earlier than him and cry until I fall asleep. Idk if it's the hormones or something/: I try to be a great fiancé. But I always seem to fail /:
My husband and I feel funny about me seeing a male doctor next week lol he said I trust you just make sure he doesn't make any extra penetration lol it feels weird knowing another man will be putting his hands down there 🙁😳 lol

@madelynnb, @tahtahme that makes me feel so much better! The people in the hospital said to feed him for an hour. That seemed a little too much for a newborn

My little girl was like that...she slept a lot and I had to wake her and use a nipple sheild for her first 2 weeks! She eventually got it. Babies dont need to eat much longer than that in the beginning, your baby is less than a week, a few good pulls and their little tummy is full!

no child is going to starve themselves so if he's falling asleep, no worries. he is just doing what is best for him. everyone is different.

No nurse can tell you exactly what your child will do or how they will behave. Every child is different. Ask any mom with multiple kids. That's just a guideline they're forced to spew out to every new mom, that doesn't mean it's true for your baby @mommaheathco If you're worried about your supply, try pumping after he's finished feeding, that way you'll have back up milk when his appetite picks up. And #FunFact most babies lose weight after birth. It's normal. Don't stress yourself out. You got this

@mommaheathco, if it eases your mind a bit I do know that it is common and completely normal for babies to lose some of their birth weight after being born. If you're super concerned and desperately need peace of mind I would give your doctor a call but it doesn't sound like the weight loss should be too much to worry yourself to death about right this second, if it continues beyond a couple more weeks then I would be a bit more concerned but I'm no doctor so just call yours on Monday if you can wait that long! It'll be okay love

all babies lose a little weight right after birth . he will gain it back within the next two weeks. don't beat yourself up . yur doing great. as long as you continue to wake him to eat and offer the breast things will get better . trust yourself and your baby . and if he's latching on that's great newborns usually nurse very frequently but for a short time .

All of that is normal in the beginning. If he's refusing the nipple that's a different story, but when he's hungry he'll eat.

But don't be discouraged! You are NOT a let down! Not even a little bit! Having to supplement formula to make sure babe is getting enough nutrition is GOOD parenting mama. You're doing your absolute best. I'm not due until May and I'm so scared about breast feeding and all the challenges I could face but in your case if baby is crying out with hunger it sounds like he may be getting enough :) try not to worry so much it will be okay! If you're worried maybe contact a lactation consultant

I've done everything. I've tried undressing him, putting a cold cloth on him, diaper change, tickling his feet, etc. even if he does wake up, he's right back to sleep. And the nurses at the hospital told me that he has to nurse for 30 minutes on each side every time he eats or else he isn't getting what he's supposed to get from the milk @emkasting @cameale81 @kksmommy12 I'm trying my best to keep at it but it's so depressing. I cry because he's so tiny and he's lost almost a pound since he was born.

yeah like @emkasting said. you have to try to keep baby slightly awake so that he remembers to continue sucking when on the breast. when I was in the hospital the nurse said if baby falls asleep blow in her face . it worked for us

how many wet diapers is he having a day? maybe the 5-10 min is enough for him:) don't get discouraged momma! you got this!

New baby's normally don't eat much. Try rubbing his face or behind his ear to keep him awake. You will know if he isn't eating enough he would cry all the time instead of sleep. Have faith momma you got this.

Maybe try gently blowing on his face or tickling his feet to get him to stay awake during feelings? I read that in what to expect, maybe it would work for you
