woke up for a diaper change. shes about to go get her glucose tested and then ill try to feed her. fingers cross cuz i have been working so hard to try and get her breast fed.She stays super sleepy and has a hard time holding a good latch due to her being so early. i have successfully been able to hamd express colostrum and syringe feed her but its not much. and i have supplemented 1 time with 11 mls of formula. i have been putting her to breast each time and using a pump to try to get my milk faster. i am drinking all the liquids and i am trying so hard not to get discouraged and give up. its just hard cuz she was a c section and shes a premie. it takes longer for breast milk to fully come in on c section moms usually and i only have so much colostrum. 😩😭

Trying to breastfeed a newborn preemie is tough but try not to give up! My daughter was born at 35 weeks and she would also fall asleep very quickly when I tried to feed her. A couple of things that helped were lightly tickling her cheeks or feet to keep her awake while she nursed. Also we had to strip her down to her diaper for every feed. The less warm and cozy she was the less likely she was to stop eating and fall asleep. Congratulations on your daughter. She is beautiful!
thank you so much. im gonna keep trying. its been rough cuz shes so small and was born so soon and then it was a c section on top of that. milk takes a lot longer for c sections than vaginal births do i only have so much colostrum. But i keep hand expressing and trying to pump

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...
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 can't believe it
My cousin stayed with me rent free from September 2015 to April 2016 and her stuff is still in my apartment. She's been saying she was going to come get her stuff for months. She text me this morning saying that she was going to come and get her stuff soon, and I asked her if I could have her air mattress. She tried to charge me $60 for it. The air mattress sells new for $35 on amazon and she didn't even pay $60 for it. I didn't respond and she just text me saying the $60 was...
Also if they haven’t given you any yet ask for donated breast milk. It took a while for my milk to come in so we supplemented with donated breast milk at first.
