I've got to vent ladies.. so Lucas is now 9 months and we have been fighting to keep him a healthy weight this whole time.. I don't know if he has a fast metabolism or what but his doctor just wants me to feed him with solids at least 3x a day and he already eats every two hours.. I love breastfeeding and being able to feed him but he's not gaining weight.. his height growth slowed a little bit but he has a clean bill of health otherwise.. has anyone else gone through this with their baby? I feel more disappointed in my body than anything even though I know it's not exactly my fault. I just feel like I'm letting my little boy down.
@santistevanmommie, @junesmommy_15 thank you ladies for the pep talk.💞 I'm going to feed him as suggested. This morning was a chaotic one and we were sent from our pedi in family medicine to pediatrics as a precaution in case something bigger is going on. It's so difficult to get him to stay put long enough to feed as it is.lol
My son was the same and the doctors made me scared that he was too small. My baby just so happens to be a little child. Also, when the more active they are, they tend to seem small. I wouldn't worry too much about it unless you know he's not eating enough.
I would add the 3 meals on top of nursing. Don't let yourself feeling like you're failing. He just might need a little extra in calories than your body is able to produce. I started caleigha on table food about 8 months and she still nurses at least 4 times during the day and more at night.
That's what they want us to do. He nurses every 2 hrs as it is though@santistevanmommie
Are you feeding him the 3 meals a day on top of still nursing?
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...
@itsamemario, you deleted your post before I could hit send but this is my comment: I don’t know if this answers your question but this is my answer.
My son is 7 and he knows race and color. Why? Because he himself comes from a family that is multi racial and because he has already experienced racism. I also believe as his mother it’s my job to teach him color and the cold hard truth about society. He knows what’s going on in this world. I’d be hurting him if I allowed him to blindly walk out...

I had to share this picture of Raptor! He is still doing amazing! He has lost a little bit of weight but that's expected! Yesterday was our second time trying to breast feed and he latched and sucked!!! It was so amazing and I am so proud of him!
Who else has financial issues within their relationship?? Or am I just lucky 🙄🙄
Not sure if I'm being just mean or what. But my SO used $160 from me this morning. I gave him my bank card because he needed $60 to get material for work. His boss was going to give it back to him at the end of the day. So instead of $60 he took out $160. Which I was a little pissed. (One of the reasons I just can't let him use my card. I have to go get the money from the atm myself if I'm giving it to him) then, to...
I understand! I've had to start feeding my little on the go! I literally lay on the couch with a boob out for an hr and as she plays she runs by for milkies
