Our pedi appointment went great. M gained 2 lbs since last month and is 23 inches long (3 inches up from her length at birth). The pedi was really happy and said she's doing great. The shots were rough but I had a bottle ready and fed her right after so she got over it pretty quick. She's was a bit fussy this afternoon and only wanted to be held and napped a lot on me. Then she started to get really fussy and I couldn't calm her and she felt a bit warm so I gave her a little Tylenol about an hour ago and now she's acting like her usual happy self, so hopefully she'll have an ok night.

My H’s aunt is here since yesterday, hence me being MIA these days, so she’s awesome but so far the only real help I’ve gotten is one extra nap this morning. Otherwwise it’s go go go and I am wiped out.
N didn’t sleep great last night but he just took 8.5oz right now 😱 and passed out- maybe he’ll sleep for like 6+ hours?! 🤞🏼

Yeah J was fussy and sad and slept on me most of the agternoon. He was hot and crying around dinner time so we have him Tylenol too. I'm glad M is back to herself.

jt2378, it's so hard to predict! Sometimes M will not nap all day and still be up all night and sometimes she sleeps all day and then sleeps well at night. FX you have a good night!

I’m currently in my room trying not to breathe while praying she falls asleep since she is restless right now 😬

I'm always surprises that itbdoesnt make any difference how much j eats. He can eat 2 oz. And sleep 5 hours then 5 oz and sleep 2 hkurs. Seriously! I was hoping he’d sleep a looong stretch but since then he’s been up every 2-2.5 hours — ate 8.5 at 6:30, was up at 10- then up at 12:30 and now 3. And he thinks it’s playtime- he is wide awake and cooing and just hanging out smiling and wanting to play. I’m like wtffff. 😴 I put him in the swing in the living room and am pumping and hoping the swing lulls him back to sleep with some lullabies. 🤷🏻♀️😒😴

@addynac I hope you get some more sleep. That many oz is impressive! Mine is also cluster feeding. He had his 4 hour stretch then up two hrs later and greedily drank both sides. I set his down to change his diaper bc he was soaking through and there was a huge fountain of spit up. He had a complete clothes change and is now fussing at my boob bc it's not as full as before.

Do I need a cover for my carseat? Like a carseat canopy? I've seen them advertised and people had their infant carseat covered today because it was cold. So...do I need one? If so why?

We have one with elastic all around it and a flap over the face part that can be up or down. I'm in WI where it can get ridiculously cold in the winter. I hated hearing DS catch his breath when he would get a gust of cold air on his face. I would take it off for longer road trips though because the seat is super warm as is.

Where do you live again? I’m in the Northeast and I never had one. As long as you have them covered with a blanket I personally don’t think you need one.

With DS I would just drape a blanket over it for the brief periods of time we were outside in the cold (like from the house to the car or car to daycare/store/etc)

Ugh D STTN fir days tjen suddenly today s awake at 4.30. She didnt fall asleep till midnight and I slept less then 4h.. why?? She did so greet sleeping 7+ h these past 2wks with maybe 1 or 2 exceptions.
I got up to pee and I checked her quietly to make sure she wasnt cold or such and she seemed to have fallen zzzzz again. Confusing baby! Now not sure what to do.
And my boobs hurt.. and leaked a little. do i need to pump to get rid of some pressure then or ? ? ? It stopped hurting after a bit and now they just feel full So confusing this bf shit still. Just when i think i got it figured out something changes and i am all confused again. And back to worrying aboutF-ing up my supply somehow. Which i may be doing now anyway by not doing anything about the sore boobs? I just really dont want to pump MOTN - i wanne sleep!
I hate how just when mh goes back to work after having be home for the psst days things get a little messy again. Makes me worried about coping. I know i will manage but usually fall apart the day he is next of work again which sucks.

M has been waking too and it’s frustrating. I would say skip pumping, you have been sleeping for these couple weeks without pumping? I’m guessing you had a letdown and that is why they hurt and leaked? Mine randomly do this throughout the day. Big hugs, your doing a great job mama 💕

Big hugs, your doing a great job mama 💕 Yeah I do have random letdown as well during the day. Sometimes out of the blue sometimes when I hear D cry or babble. I dont always leak tho - luckily cause I hate nursing pads so dont often wear them and it would be awkward to be walking around with big wet circles on my shirt😆 And yup I STTN without pumping, never pumped MOTN, only nursed when (if) D woke up. My boobs still hurt amd esp the left feels hard and chunkie? I was just telling MH last night that my boob felt hard in places still eventho D had drank well from it which seemed so odd to me and never happened before. Am i making too much milk suddenly - i haven't pumped in 10 days and havent had this before. Or is it something else.. I guess I worry a bit about it being the start of mastitis or such. And thanks - doing the best I can! 💗

We get a lot of snow but I'd rather just use a blanket to cover the carseat. That sounds like a good option.

Sorry guys I’m going to suck at keeping up this week- my aunt in law is a great person but this whole “I’ll visit and just help you and be a quasi nanny for N” thing is just a lie. I’m busier with her here and more exhausted. She wants to do things w us all over the city and we walked like 5 miles today around downtown and were out from 10am-6pm and I BF ONCE so my boobs were hard as rocks and my feet are killing me and N does not nap well when we are out in public and he ate like shit all day- 2oz here 2 oz there, etc. ugh. I just want to curl up on the couch and cuddle my son but she wants to go back downtown today 😒 She did however make dinner two nights in a row, which was nice. And she baked brownies and cornbread and pumpkin bread. Yum. But like can we just chill at home? Also, just because *you* think religion is impt for the community it gave you and your kids doesn’t mean my child needs religion to have a community of people to be close to. 😒 I’m so over visitors. And yet I’m going to NY next week to visit my parents. Sigh. king26 so I have a car seat canopy bc I got a code for a free one, and it’s okay. I have they stretchy jersey fabric and I like that it clings to the seat bc I was using blankets but with a lot of wind they’d fly up and weren’t really protecting N. There’s a good sized “hole” so I can always see his face, which I like and can’t do with a blanket and today we were out and about all day and it was really windy and I’d stick my hand in through the hole and the wind didn’t seem to penetrate much, if at all. It’s useful to me for walks and if you’re going to be toting the car seat or stroller around, which we will be for taking him to his daycare down the street. I have a code for a free (minus $15 s&h) one, if you want it. (Or anyone- it’s a generic code that everyday family sent me so I think anyone can use it whenever). Idk. I hope everyone with shots is feeling better. And people are getting more sleep than N has let me have these last few days. I’m so tired and my boobs hurt and he slept 4.5hours so hoping he will stay asleep and not puke everywhere now that I just fed him and am cuddling.

muscari if I sleep on my sides/stomach (any position that crushes my boobs), I get hard lumps in them. Could that be it? Either way I wouldn’t pump - just hand massage it the next time D feeds. addymac that sounds frustrating. Just be honest and tell her you’re exhausted and need to rest.
