I want thoughts on exclusive pumping then bottle feeding.
I wanted so much to breastfeed my daughter, but she wouldn't stay awake. I had all different nurses trying to wake her to eat, but she wouldn't. When she finally would wake she wouldn't keep a latch. I was told my nipples might be to big for her mouth. They are close to a a sizable of a quarter round.
I got home and was hurting so bad so I took a shower which helped, but not long. So I started pumping. I'm pumping now every 2-3 hours and getting between 2-5 ozs each time.
I'm hoping this will last at least 3 more weeks until I go back to work. I will still try to pump, but my work isn't where I can stop and pump.
So just wanting thoughts on this.
I would pump and freeze. also try the breast for each feeding then offer bottle. I'm thinking eventually she will get the hang of it and you can exclusively bf
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...
So we got in super late last night. Had to carry my daughter to bed.
She had the nerve to try and wake me up at 7:30am saying she wanted breakfast. Smh (She wanted me to fix her a spread)🙄
I told her to choose some cereal. I'll fix her a bowl. Of course there wasn't any cereal that she wanted today 😴
I told her spoiled ass to figure it out and I went back to sleep 😂🤣
She ate an eggo.
I can't take it anymore! Haley (yes my 1mth old and no I wasn't able to go through this "joy" of nursing my older daughter, Molly) has been screaming non stop for 6hrs! All she wants to do is eat and I can't have her attached to me all day, everyday! She has wanted to eat every hr on the hr for the past 3hrs! I put her in her room so I don't scream at her but I just can't take it!
I was going to do strictly breastfeeding but I'm going to actually do breastfeeding and pumping (bottle) because if not than she'll be hooked and will want my breast only and wouldn't work if she is left with her dad or something lol..
Anyone else doing both???
I try the brat breast and she just cries
