Extremely sleepy baby
I had my baby girl on nov 23. I am exclusively breastfeeding her. She has never had a bottle, never had formula. My concern is that she is so sleepy. She will barely wake up for feeding and falls asleep soon after the feeding starts. I'm concerned she has lost a lot of weight. I cannot get in to see the pediatrician until Monday because of the thanksgiving. Any insights? Tips?

My little one was the same way... But it is totally normal for them to sleep most of the time in the first few days. I ended up going to a lactation specialist at the hospital and they gave me pointers on how to wake her up and how to keep her interested. Same as the other mommies where saying, skin to skin worked best along with changing her right before it was time to nurse using cool wet wipes and switching breasts often. The sitting her in an upright position did nothing for her, she could sleep in the most awkward positions.
Also remember at that age, baby only needs a tiny amount at a time anyways as their tummies are so small.
Hope everything went well at your appointment!
Are her eyes yellow? Extremely sleepy babies can be an indicator of jaundice...
My son was jaundiced and extremely sleepy. I found that it helped to change him between each breast (I'm exclusively breastfeeding) because he doesn't like being cold. Took a good 4-5 days until his bilirubin level stabilized. Now he eats like a champ!
Make sure you are tracking when you feed, and how many wet/soiled diapers lo has as the doctor will ask this!
Yes, but there is very little pee in them. It can't be more than a teaspoon of wet in her diaper. She sleeps constantly though. I have to really annoy her to wake her up and almost as soon as she starts breast feeding she falls asleep. She is asleep 23 hours out of the day...
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...
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
My sweet baby girl gained her angel wings this morning. She was my best friend, my true love my everything. She was so happy and beautiful, I'm struggling to say good bye. Sleep tight princess, mummy and daddy love you very very much ❤️
Why Are Many Women Unaware of Their Own Anatomy?
the amount of women who are clueless about their own anatomy is so sad and shocking. a lot of the women are older than me and have more children then I do 😳
now I understand that everyone has their own opinion on the topic and grown adults can do whatever they want with their bodies but to deny facts and make up false statements about your own anatomy when it comes to your unborn child is just so disappointing.

so yes ima go hard in the comments bec...
For those saying it's very normal for newborns...not always the case. High bilirubin levels can be the reason for a very fatigued baby. To rule it out, I would call your baby's pediatrician for bilirubin test. My baby was born with high levels and it makes them respond in a sleepy manner even for feedings. Just fyi.
