I know things are going happen but today I failed as a mother - Arlo had his two week appointment today, I was a little rushed to get there on time because it was at a place we've never been. I rushed out the house not realizing I left his formula behind as well as a blanket. We get back to our room and he starts fussing so I went to make a bottle, no formula, he's now in a diaper, cold and now hungry. My no good boobs only make so much so it wasn't cutting it. I kept trying. To make things worse, he had to get pricked on his heel, now we have a screaming hungry baby than I make a comment "I'm sorry your momma failed today" and the fucking nurse says "Yeah you did." Well I left the building and broke down. I literally feel like a shitty mom right now. Oh yeh, as he's screaming David gives him a bottle of water to distract him and he ends up choking. So yeahhhh there's how my day went.

Thank you ladies, needless to say it was a stressful day, definitely a lesson learned. I'm going to pack a bag and leave it in the car and next time try not to rush so I won't forget things. As for the nurse, yeah the old me would've went off but some reason being a mother made me into a pile of mush! I seriously can't find that bad ass side of me anymore, lol.
That nurse was out of line! 😡 I'm sure you are a fine mom and just a tip that I've found useful is to have a little station in my car with back up diapers, wipes, a set of clothes, a thin muslin, and to go formula packets. I have some other things like sample cremes and stuff too. It's helpful if you run out or forget to restock the diaper bag! :)
it happens to the best of us. trust. you're damn good mom and an even better person because I woulda taken my childs diaper off and slapped the nurse with the dirty diaper just for saying some stupid shit like that but the fact that you didn't shows that you're GREAT.😉
Your boobs will get better just gotta keep trying
I would of told that nurse to go fuck herself and that I wasn't speaking to her. I am a mother of 2 and one on the way and yesterday I totally forgot to bring the lunch pail for my kids and my youngest bottle, I think every mother has forgotten stuff don't beat yourself down let alone think for one second your failing as a mommy. Don't stress love you will be okay 😊😊😊😊
That happened to us one time. Our pediatrician didn't have any formula samples either, i was so mad at myself. That nurse was just plain rude, thankfully my supply hadn't fully dried up yet
@arlogreyson No, just lesson learned. There is no guide to motherhood, we are all produces of trial and error! Don't beat yourself up about it.
The nurse should've never said that! You're human and make mistakes, and they should've offered you a sample and been more helpful! Don't beat yourself up!
You will be just fine. You're human. Im a mom of three and I still forget things. Lesson learned
@karnamarie, I didn't think to ask. Another fail. Lol
Pediatrician didn't have any sample to help you out????
Lmaoooo @6thahardway smacked her with the dirty diaper 😂😂 but @arlogreyson that nurse was just plain rude, that kind of stuff happens to all of us and how dare her making you feel like that. Having a newborn is seriously the hardest job, we do the best we can on our couple hrs of sleep a night
