Feeling discouraged about breastfeeding. I was forced to give my baby formula and pumped milk to help her with her jaundice but now all she wants is the bottle. I can have milk dripping from my breasts and she still doesn't want it. I'm so sad because that's the main way I planned to feed her but now it's not an option and I don't know what to do to get her to latch.
@haniyyah90, now i can't get him to take a bottle to save my life lol
@tristan-makes-5, thanks I'm trying to hang in there.
@haniyyah90, dont give up it took about 2 1/2 months for my little guy to latch and start nursing
@yungbae, thanks I tried that. I even put drops of my milk in it so she would instantly get it and it still didn't work.
@babyblksher2016, thanks I'm trying. Everything I read said just be patient with her and keep trying but it's hard after multiple refusals. I'll hang in there though.
Keep trying. When you do need to offer a bottle, try a preemie nipple. It makes the milk harder to get out just like the breast. Some babies get lazy after a bottle because it's easier to get the milk
Don't be discouraged just keep trying and she will get back on!
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!!
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. ?
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.
