Lol boys .. They like boobs 😂
@10yearslater0205, yes he has a pacifier he does like it ... I know when he's hungry when he keeps spitting it out . Lol and yes sometimes I feel like he wants my boob as a pacifier too .
@babyboy449, I missed ur above comment .. So my son was nursing every hour I realized he wasn't hungry but using me as a pacifier .. I tried to give him one he hated it but what he did do is suck his thumb at 6 weeks have u tried to give him a pacifier ??
@babyboy449, oh u totally will !!! We were all newbies one time too and had to find what worked for us .. I am sure ur doing just fine u just enjoy your new baby
@ginnalynn, that's a good idea I should do that @arivera64 lol ! I bet ! Im all new at this . I appreciate all of your support :) @10yearslater0205 that's a good idea too , I'm so new at this hopefully sometime I will Beable to find my balance
Two week mine slept a lot I waited till Gosh I don't remember it was so long ago but I wanna say about 8 weeks I tried to get a routine gong for my own sanity .. Naps were always in the crib and we did tummy time a lot and I started a pattern for night .. I know they say don't bathe every night but we started a routine daily starting at 7 we had a bath , I massaged and nursed until almost asleep and laid down awake .. I think it became soemthing my kids looked foward to as they got older ..
@babyboy449, I ask myself this everyday honestly. I just do it. I don't have a trick. Most days it's just staying alive lol
@ginnalynn, how do u keep him awake most of the day lol , I barley can keep mine awake he's 2 weeks ... @10yearslater0205 that's exactly what my 2 week is doing like every hour ..... @arivera64 not gonna lie this breast feeding thing is kinda hard lol I'm not used to it .
my son is 2 and I'm still up like 3 times a night to nurse. He's such a light sleeper and wakes frequently ughh
Now my son was a tad harder he wanted to nurse the first few weeks every hour I thought I'd die he was my second .. My first never woke and gained weight she ate every 3-4 hours she was a chunky thing though
Yes unless I'm super tired and I'm afraid they will wake up just as soon as I fall asleep a mom once told me to "top" them off it always bought me 11-2 am sleep lol it always seemed to work
Lol@10yearslater0205 so u just wait for them to wake up and then you nurse them ?
I'd say I stuck them on a routine of 10-2-6 ... This is my last and I'm gonna nurse on demand for a long time lol 😂
I nursed on demand but never woke them up to nurse like they said .. I went with the old school Method to never wake a sleeping baby.. After they hit 12 lbs both my babies would nurse at 8 and I'd wake them enough to drain me around 11 then I'd fall asleep and they both would wake around 2 to nurse and up between 5-6 again
@10yearslater0205, newborn .. @1sttimemommy0516 @babes101116 .. Just making sure I'm doing it right lol cuz yeah it's about every 2 to 3 hours ..
Honestly only if you feel safe I left my nursing bra unsnapped and laid her on the side that was unsnapped and she would latch herself all night and I would rotate like that. I had a c section with my first and my incision opened a bit so constantly getting out of bed was a job for me.
My daughter will be 2 months Saturday and when she decides to go to sleep at night I BF her every 2-3 hours. There has been some nights that she eats every hour but most nights it's 2-3 hours
A lot the first 6 months for my kids
The first few days or weeks or months?
@10yearslater0205, haha that's for sure !
