cwbh928, thank you, its so interesting that you know 2 people that started with it after pregnancy too! Are they doing better now? muscari, thanks for the love...supposedly many people have great success on it so hopefully I would be the same. That would be the goal. It just sucks that its likely a life long medication  We met in a seminar/ support group at the hospital. I was there becuase of my blood pressure issues. They are both managing well. The one lady opted to wait until she weaned her baby while the other lady formula fed anyway. |

Hudson has been sleeping like crap lately too. We still haven’t moved his nursery to the new room. Almost done painting. Therefore, sleep training has not been going well. I think he is in a leap so that’s not helping.

Sigh. Noah is on a breastfeeding strike. Idk why. It started like two days ago and even if he’s hungry he will push my boob away. But then fuss until I give him a bottle. 😒😔

N had been sleeping like shit too, king26. He was up 3x last night barely eating but enough to scream his head off until I fed him and then was awake from 530-645am. I finally woke him up at 9am bc he was still snoozing. Talk about fucking up his daily schedule I'm sorry n has been having rough nights and is on a bf strike. J won't take a bottle during the day anymore unless he is on the ground feeding himself. But at bedtime and motn he lets me feed him. So odd |

Or maybe I am just not remembering them being this bad the first time around! 😭 |

Hey everyone! Trying to catch up as usual but wanted to pop in to say hello. M has had a horrid stomach bug all week, it has really sucked. I'm also STILL on the job hunt and getting more frustrated every day. I've been in like a weird mental space so I've kind of taken a step back from the boards but I still try to lurk and keep up with you all when I can. I can't believe how fast these babies are growing!

So J slept from 8 to 1 which was awesome. Then he decided it was party time and was up from 1 to 230. Why????

Thanks guys. I'm fine just kind of feeling overwhelmed and discouraged but I'll be ok, I just have to have patience. M is definitely a lot better so that's a plus but this leap 6 is bullshit. So many wake ups.

Super frustrating, but at least he's taking a bottle. |

Also we can only attempt bf-img on my three days off from work so him refusing the boob the last two days I was off makes me sad. I guess it’s not about me 😭😂 |

Sometimes this helps I am*** (ETA) only in his room with the dull light on and no toys around. He literally either pushes my boob away or he grabs it and tries to purple nurple me 😭 and so I wait and let him play and then try again then he will whine until I give up and hand him the bottle and and then he eats the whole damn thing. 😭 |

It drives me nuts sometimes becuase I know he is hungry. He seems so much more interested in everything around him, especially if someone has food! 😬 |

addymac I don't know if this is encouraging or discouraging, but baby H stopped nursing about a month ago, and I'm still a little sad about it. I wanted to nurse him till a year, at least. He started pulling off early, and then he would only nurse at nighttime and then a few weeks ago he would either bite me or arch and turn his head away whenever I offered. He also started taking a 6 oz bottle, and my supply has always been low. I'm still going to pump to a year, but waah. He tricked me yesterday, too, bc he was trying to face plant on the 70 year old daycare lady's chest, and we were all laughing that he wanted to nurse. But then I tried at home and he stared at my boob like, "what does that have to do with me". Sorry for the novel, but I commiserate. cali I hope things get better for you. Stomach bugs are the worst and the job search sounds excruciating.

addymac, I’m sorry for the boob strike! I think there was a thread in the breastfeeding board about some things to do to help get them interested again.

A might have dropped his midnight feeding. It’s been 3 nights in a row that he’s woken up past 4. I’m ok with it, but I’m scared of my supply dropping. But not enough to wake up and pump. 😂

But not enough to wake up and pump. 😂 It’s amazing how with my first I was so worried about supply. Granted she slept like shit till 14 months so I guess I didn’t need to worry lol. This time I’m like just sleep aaaallll night anytime now. |
