So my nurses at the hospital want me to try and breastfeed every 3 hours. And I feel like that’s hard to do because my little one wants to sleep in incriments of about 4-5 hours at the moment. If they wake her up she generally gets so mad that she won’t latch at all and I have to try and console her before I can feed her but she generally falls back asleep while trying to console her. Is there a happy in between you ladies have found with breastfeeding and dealing with nurses who just want to help?

Lucky u my daughter did every 2 in the first few weeks 😫😫😫
My son did this and I let him do him. He was eating enough and gaining weight so I wasn’t worried and my nurses weren’t either his dr wasn’t either. They were fully aware of it too and said “he’s fine. He’s gaining weight and had his whatever amount of feedings and diapers we needed within a certain amount of time so you’re good” he would sleep for 5 hours sometimes.
Oh i see ! Yeah it kinda sucks for a couple weeks. But feed on demand, often as possible. Going skin to skin is very soothing for them and easy for you as well since youre breastfeeding and they'll be right there.
If they’re not eating every 3 hours and sleeping a bunch they can end up being jaundiced.
Ideally baby should eat this frequently and you need the stimulation to establish your supply.
I have to stay until tomorrow morning cause they wanted to watch the little one for 2 days because I had tested positive for strep b.
Still have to feed every 3h the first few weeks. Why are you still in hospital? Can you leave? If youre latching well on your own you just need your space. Theres also no reason for the nurses to come in and wake baby unless you call them or theres a test.
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 hate my generation sometimes ?
Today was my nieces baby shower, which went great. She got so much which amazing since she's been working 2 jobs trying to save up for the unpaid leave she'll have to take from work. Anyways I was talking to one of the ladies there since my son and her daughter were playing together. I asked her what her daughters name was, she said it was Layla. I told her that's a really pretty name and asked her if she was a Clapton fan and if she was named after the song. Th...

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...
Ok, so my friend is wanting to get pregnant but..... Her fiancé does not want kids, at lease for another 3-5 years he said... so she came up with the idea to have me pee on a stick for her and show it to him so that he’ll be comfortable with not wearing a condom and finishing in her.. basically the whole idea is to make him think she’s pregnant already...... so I do this favor for her or should I tell my girl to chill?
He and my husband are friends through us and he’s going to invite him over...
She still isn’t eating often. But this morning before we were discharged they let me do this thing were they put alittle bit of formula in a tube next to my nipple to get her to latch and she ate quite a bit then so they have me doing that every other feeding till my milk comes in to get her established.
