my son turned 8 months yesterday I can't believe it's been 8 months since I had his he has come so far coming from a tiny 1lb 10oz to 15lb 3oz it's so crazy. I can't believe we have been in the hospital for 8 months it has been a crazy 8 months tho
Yeah mine had cpap then was switched to room air and his temp was controlled in his incubator. Couldn't have the side panel open long, couldn't hold him unless he was super bundled up, even for skin to skin. He would get really cold really fast. He was tube fed for most the time he was in level 3, but when he was moved to level 2 and began taking bottles, I started to introduce the breast and now we ebf, which was my plan from the start. It's been a long road and I know he is gonna face some challenges, but we are ready to tackle them head on!
Yea my son never had an issue with his temp they had to out the air on in his "box" for like a month before he was out in a regular crib
@chunkymonkey9115, Wow, thats tough 😢 My boy was on cpap but not for long. He was born at 33, so his main challenges were regulating his temp which was really hard for him, breathing, and feeding. He got it all together in a months time...That was the longest month of my life. I am inspired by you, and your bravery and courage and strength! Keep holding on for your little man - I know it will mean the world to have him home! Theres no better feeling. Praying for you guys tonight!
he is going home on a vent and he has to tolerate it and get his oxygen way down and the only way it will help is for him to grow do it really deppends on how he grows and if his lung will grow with his body that's been his issue since my water broke 2 weeks before I had him they said his lungs could of stopped growing when my water broke @sarahemccormick
Yea he is @mommy_faith. and thanks @sarahemccormick. we r hoping to go home soon but they still think it will be probably another year or so I really hope not tho
this is so beautiful ❤ prayers to you, from one NICU mom to another so #NICUStrong
my water broke at 22 weeks and on had him at 24 weeks @mommy_faith
Can I ask what happened? So happy for you guys that he is doing better!😊
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...
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...
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.

A Statement from Mom.Life:
Hey everyone!
Last night, a new user began messaging our moms asking for private pictures of toddlers and young children. This is obviously unacceptable behavior, and the account was banned immediately. Although thankfully extremely rare on Mom.Life, several users were understandably upset by this, so we wanted to clarify a few things:
First off, Mom.Life has an absolute zero tolerance policy for child abuse and those who would prey on children. We strive to ...
