I'll start it off with a funny. I'm pretty sure my baby likes the bulb syringe Every time I've gone to suck snot out, she grabs onto my hand and makes this funny little face like shes enjoying it. What a little weirdo!

I hit another wall of depression last night, so today is just trying to make it through. I'm so over working. Only one month left?

Why do old woman always need to give their opinion? Almost 90% of the time L is crying at the grocery store I am told by some random woman that they know that cry and he must be hungry. No, he is tired and refusing to sleep or he is hot because we are in the middle of a heat wave. Hunger I can control before we head out, the other two not so much. I know it might seem like I don't know what I am doing but I am trying to soothe him and make my purchase. They just delay me by stepping in front of the stroller where I am trying to put my stuff.
Also, today on a boiling hot bus I was told he was thirsty. Ok thanks because that must be what it is...

stardust84 I hate the olds’ favorite joke while holding DD2 “LOL I don’t have what you want! Nothing there!” WE GET IT. SHE IS A BF BABY LOOKING FOR FOOD. THE JOKE IS NOT FUNNY.

We just got back from vacation to find out all the girls cousins have HFM. We haven’t seen them since the 19th but DD1 had a fever yesterday and has a little rash around her mouth and on her feet. I am a bridesmaid and she is a flower girl in s wedding Saturday. So I keep staring at her trying to figure out WTF is going on.
I’m going to die if she has it. This wedding is going to be complicated enough with a baby who hates a bottle.

I’m really hoping it’s not HFM. Her symptoms are presenting differently from her cousins. But he but rash looks suspicious. I really hope it’s a fever rash. I’m trying not to panic but... I’m quite panicked.

I might be getting my period. I have THE WORST cramps. Is there anything I need to know about effects on BFing? I’ve heard it can make your milk taste different or mess with your supply.

calendula that is too funny. Most of the time L flips out when I NoseFrida him, but sometimes he just lays there motionless smiling up at me when I do it. 🤷🏼♀️ ArielMermaid I hope it’s not hfm. We had a scare a couple weeks ago and it was so stressful checking out every bump or possible rash. cornpop we went from the swaddle to the Merlin suit. 2-3 rough nights and then he did great! Fx N adjusts quickly and without too much loss of sleep.

It can definitely cause a dip in supply, make sure you keep up with nursing/pumping and drinking water. I was also prone to clogged ducts right before mine so keep an eye out for that. I’ve never heard about milk tasting different though.

Oh no ArielMermaid, I hope whatever it is passes quickly. I’ll commiserate about being in a wedding with a baby who hates a bottle (and anyone else who holds him except me). Did I mention this wedding is out of state? I need to make up my mind if I’m leaving the kids with my MIL/Mom or if we bring even just the baby and my H doesn’t get to enjoy the wedding😩

Her face breaks out like this in the regular though, and having a butt rash is also not uncommon here. It’s the feet that made me wonder about HFM. Especially with her cousins having it too.

You guys - my amazing RE who worked with us so many moons ago and finally helped us become parents (over 10 years ago was that cycle) passed away over the weekend. Jet ski accident. I’m so shocked and sad right now. He was a part of our family. We owe him so much. He had the best bedside manner, so compassionate and understanding - and he even followed my second and third babies through the first tri. Even though they weren’t iF babies.
His funeral is today. They just told everyone yesterday. I’m just so sad.

yesterday dd1 asked me if my hair was crazy. i said i guess so and she said she didn’t like it😑 i know she’s 2 but i may have cried after i dropped her at daycare.
i’ve been trying to give dd2 a bottle at least a couple of times a week. she took 2.5 oz last week (from me, not my mom🙄) and yesterday she took an ounce before she started blowing raspberries and gurgling it and letting it run down her cheek. i think my kids are conspiring against me

They have it on amazon but it’s basically a gift to nursing mothers trying to get baby to take a bottle. Once she has it, you can switch to whatever bottle you want to use. And thanks everyone. The accident was caused by his son... I can’t imagine how that kid is feeling.

There's been a string of tragic deaths of young people in our small town in the last few days and I'm feeling pretty emotional. I also got some news about an old, dear friend. I've been trying to reach her with no success but I'm not sure she woud even want to talk to me.
Plus, a very toddler-y toddler and a velcro baby who won't sleep alone has me feeling spread pretty thin.

I'm sorry yianna and snowmoon. N's first night swaddle-less actually went pretty well. I kept her in the bassinest next to the bed and it took her about a half hour of squirming to fall asleep but once she did, she was out for the night. Of course, every little noise she would make would wake me up because I was so paranoid about her waking up. I've already had a large cold brew coffee and I'm trying to talk myself out of a second. I think I'm going to lose that battle.
