I need a break today! Astrid has been hungry every two hours like she didnt just get two boobs. She only took one nap today and is eating like she's got to sprout an inch. She didn't want to sit with my mom or dad and hubbs is out of the country for the next 8 days working. I am trying to get her to take a bottle from someone else but she just screams. I feel like I will never be able to leave her with anyone for a few hours.
That's my daughters middle name :) after my moms middle name as well.
Anytime mama, if you ever need encouragement or advice or just need to talk, don't be afraid to reach out...breastfeeding is beautiful but it can be really hard and draining!
Thanks ladies @hellosweetie @kimberlyyyy_the-preemie-mom
You got this mama, like @kimberlyyyy_the-preemie-mom said, it won't last forever, just while they are young! You're doing great, every two hours is totally NORMAL for a breastfed baby, they digest breastmilk very quickly and will nurse for more reasons than just hunger! Just hang in there, try and relax and enjoy it while it lasts, someday we will all be missing our breastfeeding snuggles 😍
You will be able to eventually. Just not right now. I know it's tough, but just hang in there!!! You're not alone momma and it's normal for baby to do this. It won't last forever.

is it wrong to be frustrated that my daughter acts like she can't do certain things with out my help. she plays dumb a lot and I wish I could be like no girl show what you know. she acts like she can't trace or match shapes so shes ask for "mommy finger" to help her so I barely hold her hand and she magically can do it but if I dont hold her hand she just scribbles and acts like she doesnt know
the pic is how she traces when I'm "helping her" otherwise it'll just be scribbles all over the page
So idk if I’m an asshole for thinking this but a girl I used to go to school with is having her 3rd kid and she’s planning a baby shower and she had one with her other two. I feel like a baby shower is something you do with ur first pregnancy. I live far from my family so I didn’t have one but i did have a baby registry and I’m not even doing that with this pregnancy. Idk I just feel like 3 baby showers is a lot! Especially when she gets things handed to her. Idk maybe I’m an ass for thinking that
Opinions on hungrier baby milk? My girl is drinking well over 30 oz in 24 hours. I tried her with water inbetween feeds but she just won't settle in till she has milk as she's hungry not thirsty. She's awake like 18 hours a day 😭
Will your Mom be in the delivery room?
My mom made it sound like she was gonna be in the delivery room when I give birth, and quite frankly, I would just like it to be me and my fiancé. It's our first, and I want to share that special moment with just him. I don't want to hurt her feelings, and I know this is something she would really like to be a part of. So I feel bad telling her no.
Sounds like the 2 month growth spurt!
