I have to keep reminding myself that my daughter was a preemie (born @ 31wks) and it's okay that she isn't fast as other babies with somethings. But y'all, it still makes me sad as a mother seeing babies born after her, accomplish things before her. She tries so hard and that makes me love her even harder and more than I already do.
same here my son was born at 24 weeks he will be 9 months tomorrow and he can't push up on his arms during tummy time he isn't rolling over or anything it's sad
@rockysmommy yes, I was just about to suggest that. even just a little breast milk is better than none at all.
I've tried oatmeal and I'm pumping every three hours or so again.. I'm also supplementing half the bottle with enfamil to not use the breastmilk so quickly
@rockysmommy yeah, that became frustrating for me. have you tried any lactation pills or cookies?
They just told me I'd have to pump and bottle feed him and that's very stressful I'm currently dealing with supply drop right now :( I'm gonna look on this website
@rockysmommy I had to stop breastfeeding because my daughter wouldn't latch. The hospital referred her to a program for preemie babies which is good because I wouldn't know half of what I know about her reaching milestones a little later than other babies. I was just looking on this website ссылка
Yeah you have to go more by their gestational age and then corrected age and it makes me sad because my little man was born at 34 weeks and 5 days and can't even latch onto my boob.. He's three weeks old now and he's already trying to hold his head and he looks around and moved his head all around and he's constantly active, but I don't know when babies usually do things I don't know when they meet milestones and when my preemie will meet them. My doctor said he'll probably be a slower learner than full term babies born around the same time as him.

My August baby decided she wanted to be a May baby like her big sister. Madison Noelle was born on Tuesday, May 24 at 3:50pm, weighing 2lbs, 13oz and 14". She was born at 27 weeks and has a long road ahead of her. Every day she has been getting stronger and amazing everyone. Please keep us in your prayers, my family and I have a long road ahead of us. Congratulations to everyone and I wish you all wonderful pregnancies and deliveries! ??❤️
What would you do? - baby shower
SO my mom has been very negative about the baby my entire pregnancy. Especially in the beginning, she said the most HORRIBLE things about me, my DH and my unborn baby. Like that I was making a big mistake, that I was making her 2015 the worst year ever... etc etc. Even when she would do nice things she made me feel like I was a HUGE inconvenience and a burden to her. She told me to definitely NOT expect a shower or anything like that from her. Fine, whatever...
I just absolutely love some women on here! Some woman wants to write on another women's post telling her she shouldn't be having sex at all in the beginning of pregnancy. I didn't know she was her doctor. Then she wants to tell me that the first trimester is only 1-9 weeks pregnant. And she lost her baby at 4 weeks pregnant due to sex. Like sweetie that's your period starting!
FTM problems...
So I've made it pretty clear that I want to buy my daughter her fist Halloween costume. Her babysitter/nanny keeps saying she wanted to make her one. I told her yesterday that I wanted to find her something that my SO and I could dress up as a family. So I told her I am going to get it. She just text me and said 'not trying to step on your toes but I bought her two costumes'. She does this all the time. Anytime I want to do the "first" things with her she immediately does it. It...
Would it be better for me to breastfeed my baby or bottle feed her when she is born in September?
@chunkymonkey9115 yes, I cry sometimes about it. like, I just seen a baby born a month after my daughter and she's sitting up. my baby will be six months next week and just learned how to roll over. it takes a lot of practicing.
