I'm having the hardest time getting my son to latch on and breastfeed. He is a preemie and can't get my boob in his mouth good. So I have been pumping but his appetite has picked up. And when I pump I can't keep up.
@scidg3, @anap1012 thank y'all so much. I'm gone look up video and keep giving him time.
my babies were premie @mommy_to_be.taylor. We used a nipple shield, once we got home it wad use nipple shield and some days they didn't even want to try. we are almost 2 months and just today 2 of them latched on twice with no shield! it gets better! I think their mouth gets bigger, sucking becomes easier and you get more relaxed. Not site how old yours is and how early he or she was but just give it time.
Try using the flipper method. I think that's what it's called. If used to get a deep latch and it works pretty well actually. There's some videos on YouTube that can teach you how :)
@bqueen, I've tried the nipple shield he doesn't really like it and he struggles getting his mouth around it.
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!!
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...
also.....I used an extra small shield....most places only sell small. @mommy_to_be.taylor Good Luck!
