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 and did something else with an other girl.... and it's 10:51 am now and he hasn't texted me at all. and after he dropped me off I texted him saying what I felt and nothing. I don't know if I'm over reacting or what or what should i do. do i wait until he text me?
I’m so tired but I can’t sleep. Every time I lay the baby down he wakes up after like 10 minutes. 😴
For 6 months, not once has my child slept though the night. He won't sleep anywhere but in bed with me. I can hardly move or he wakes up. He tosses and turns all night long even if he does sleep which keeps me up. He wakes up 10-20 times a night (from about 9pm to 5 pm) I'm left feeling so fucking exhausted and never getting more than 30 min of sleep at a time IF THAT. I can't function like this and I don't know how to stop him from comfort nursing and keep him asleep! Half the time he wakes up for absolutely no reason what so ever! I feel like I'm losing my mind and all I can do is scream and cry because I literally feel like I am living in a nightmare.
4 month sleep regression. My son wakes up like a newborn now. He won't sleep until midnight then last night he woke up at 2 am 5 am and 930. He went back to sleep all times but because I gave him a bottle because I thought he was hungry. Tonight it was time for him to eat after his bath so I gave him his milk and Layed him in his crib to sleep because I thought he was out for the night. Not even 20 minutes later he is awake in his crib. He's quiet so I'll wait and see if he falls back asleep. Did any of your babies do this? Is this a thing? I'm hoping it won't last long. Mind you forgetting to mention he did sleep through the night since 2 and a half months.
Sleep Training ! So I went ahead and hired the sleep consultant. I was at a loss with how poor Davis's sleep was, and because I was suffering from PPD, the sleep deprivation was making me not be able to cope with daily life. Davis had no idea how to put himself to sleep whatsoever.. I would nurse him to sleep and then rock him and then carefully put him down in his crib fast asleep. If he woke up when I put him down I would have to repeat the process.. Sometimes it took 2 hours to get him back to sleep. On top of that he is such a light sleeper so ANY tiny sound would wake him up and because the only way he knew how to sleep was to be nursed or rocked then that's what he would expect. We tried bed sharing and his sleep and mine was even worse.. I just didn't know what to do anymore. I went to a seminar on baby and toddler sleep and I decided to take the leap and the cost ($480) to hire the sleep consultant. The first night and day was so so hard.. He cried a lot and because it's not the CIO method, I was there beside him the whole time patting his back and rubbing his belly, giving him kisses and picking him up for some cuddles (which I think made it worse). After that first awful night and day.. He has already begun to sleep through the night and nap for 1.5 hours + during the day.. He actually has gone down for naps now without crying and falling asleep in under 10 minutes. He slept 11 hours the past two nights in a row.. I honestly can't believe the difference especially in him ! He has been so happy, calm and not fussy like he was before throughout the day. I'm still not sleeping as well because I'm constantly staring at the monitor but I'm hoping in time I'll feel more comfortable with him in his crib and on his tummy (I hate it so much).

Go ahead and express. He will still have more than enough. I promise. Express until you're comfortable again.

I use to think the same thing, but it's not true. I pump so I don't hurt and even sometimes before my LO eats. She still gets plenty of milk. I can even pump after she is done eating and there is still a little bit of milk that comes out. As for the transition, you need to take a shirt or blanket that smells like you and your milk and lay that with the child. That's what helped my baby and she sleeps great in her crib as long as she has that blanket.

Your milk continues to replenish. If you express he will still get the amount he needs. If anything he will have more because the more milk you express, the more milk your body thinks you need to make

@txyogagirl I was supposed to have twins and because of that my body makes Milk enough for twins. With the loss of my son, I don't think that my body ever regulated for that so I have to pump after my daughter is done eating because my boobs still feel so heavy and full and will hurt if I don't. There are a lot of times where I can pump before my daughter eats and then she will eat and get full and then I can pump afterwards and I still have almost 2 to 3 oz coming out of each breast. If my daughter does not eat on a set schedule then I can pump out five to six oz out of each breast and when she does eat then I will normally pump out 2 to 3 oz out of each breast. So I would not say that I have officially regulated to having just one baby.

@txyogagirl because I produce so much milk I have some in the freezer for when my daughter needs it and we go on a trip or if I put her in daycare... the rest of the milk though I donate to the hospital because they will process it and run it through their systems and then give that milk out to NICU babies or to babies who their mothers are having problems being able to produce milk but they do not want the babies on formula so either way I am able to help out someone in need and I'm able to feed not only my daughter but their children.

@kaytibug2009, sorry for your loss that's awesome ur donating. Ur body is making so much because your using a breast pump I don't pump for the very reason I don't want oversupply. It just causes problems I haven't had any issues at all with breastfeeding almost 14months strong. If u ever stop pumping or can't u will get engorged so don't let ur baby sleep along stretch until you slowly wean from pump otherwise u be like me . I just had no clue it could happen so fast literally like 8hr

@txyogagirl actually I didn't start pumping until she was already 2 months old. I had been expressing but the milk just kept coming so I just switched to the pump to make it faster. I spend less time getting the milk out and more time doing what I want.
