I'm exhausted, the schedule with NICU is for me to go in at 12, 3, 6, 9 and attempt to get Carson to latch, being a preemie, he has to develop this skill, if he is relatively awake, I bottle feed him as much as he will take and then tube feed the rest, this takes approx 45 mins, then I go pump for approx 20-25 mins and try to sleep/eat/shower before heading back in for the next one which is about 1.5 hours. But......I love every second of this Mom Life, can't believe he is almost a week old!!!!
How long are they projecting he’ll be in the nicu for
@braindeadmama the lactation consultant said once my milk is fully in, every 3 hours is fine...I'm only getting about 50 now
@princessm928, it’s overwhelming i know. It gets easier i promise.
@braindeadmama they want me to do every 2 hours pumping and every 3 hours feeding him, it's Alot.
Feel lucky that it’s every three hours. They had me doing it every two hours. I never got any sleep lol
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...
question sorry to blow up the feed this morning. as I've said many many times Eddison hates car seats and driving and stuff. screams bloody murder. should I stay at home. or keep trying to take him out. I feel like a bad mom taking him out. but I also am getting a little crazy. he does okay on like 5 min trips to town. but I want to go out with my husband and it's 45 min away. so he will Def be screaming.
I need help!!! Something is wrong with my dog and I have no money or job to take him to the vet. I think hes dying idk
PROGRESS: 70% Effaced dilated to 1 1/2 its not 2 but I'll take it. he said something about the baby's. head at -2 idk what that means lol. But since I'm. due saturday he scheduled an induction for the 23rd if I go that long. I honestly don't think I will...
Make your own breakfast!
At what age do you think a child should be making their own breakfast? I have a 10 year old and I think he is perfectly capable of making himself breakfast. It doesn't take rocket science to put some waffles into the toaster, or microwave some pancakes. My husband insists that he needs to have breakfast made for him because if we left it up to him he wouldn't eat enough and it would take him forever.
@braindeadmama they have not said
