Periods coming and going

I had my baby May 13 and have been exclusively nursing. My period returned end of August (27th) and was very heavy. It’s now Oct 3rd and other than a few cramps, my period feels late. My husband had a vasectomy in June. I took a pregnancy test three days ago and it came back negative. I’m worried, though. Has anyone had their period come back and then skipped a month? No judgment please, only curious if this is normal with my period returning to normal.

I would help out but I’m kinda in the same boat. My family really supports us best they can, but I am 19 and my fiancés is 20 I’m personally scared of daycares so I totally understand the stay at home mom thing. Make sure to apply for wic and food stamps! It will help so much! Also check out around and see if there is a Salvation Army sometimes they do mommy parties where they bring new moms or pregnant moms in and give a them all sorts of things like car seats, strollers etc.

What's your LO's naps like?

Are you on a schedule? Does s/he nap well in the day?

My babe is NOT a good napper. I’m lucky if I get 30 minutes out of him at a time

Chewing Bottle Nipple

Anyone else’s little one chewing on the bottle nipple? (my LO is formula fed now was pumped BF). She eats like 2 ounces then chews the nipple and repeats until she has finished her 5oz. I haven’t had my four month appointment yet and I will be asking at that appointment, but I was curious if anyone else has this problem. (To clarify, we already bumped up nipple levels and tried doing the snacking approach and it hasn’t helped.)

Usually I would say no. I planned on not doing it because I hate the poop! My doctor gave me the go ahead but I didn't want to yet. My daughter sits in the highchair and locks in on our dinner. She lunges for my snacks. She opens he mouth to my son "feeding" her. The way she looks at me... She wanted to start. I gave her a skinned cucumber chunk to explore and she loved every second of it. Today we did oatmeal and breastmilk and it was a mess but it went well. I'll start puree carrot next week when she is 5 months.

Tips for clogged ducts

Helpppp! I woke up with a big painful knot in my breast. I’ve put a warm compress on it,tried massaging it loose,put my Haaka on it,put my infant on it,put my toddler on it and nothing is helping! It’s so hard and painful

Sunflower lecithin is helpful for prevention as well as when it happens. Some well known companies for lactation sell it at a higher cost but is still the same sunflower lecithin capsule you can find in Walmart at a low cost!! I rarely get clogged ducts but when I have, warm water in the shower with hand expression allows me to see the clogged duct and within minutes of massaging I have been able to dislodge the little clog from duct… and relief the pressure. Good luck mama!

Big boy!

Went for his 4months doc appointment today he’s 16pound and 26in long! Love my big guy going to be starting purées tomorrow so excited for him to try some food

4 month sleep regression 🤦‍♀️

Did it hit ya'll like a ton of bricks? 😑 Went from 6-7 hour stretches at night to 4 hour stretches and fighting both naps and bedtime. Fingers crossed 🤞 it doesn't last long!

Giving baby food

Had our 4 month appt today. Doctor said it’s okay to start giving little one some food and give her cereal and oatmeal. Has anyone else started ? I’m nervous, but excited.

Just started and he’s loving the rice cereal but not so much of the fruit and vegetables 

Fiancé taking baby out of state

So my fiancé wants to take our 4 month old breastfed son to Michigan for a weekend trip (his cousin is getting married and we’re in Rhode Island) I don’t feel comfortable with it we were both gonna go but now unfortunately we can’t afford a pet sitter due to unforeseen bills and he said he’ll just give him formula while they’re gone and I can enjoy a break from being a mommy. He’s not a great dad tbh like he’s good at playing with the baby and feeding him but I do 99.9% of the stuff for our baby. He freaks out anytime the baby cries for more then 2 minutes and will just dump him on me or put him in his crib and shut the door and go play video games.This would be his whole family there and 1st chance to meet our son and I obviously want them to meet him but I don’t want to entrust my baby with people I don’t know. I’ve never met them in our 2 years of being together only video calls! I just feel super uneasy about sending my baby on a plane with his dad for a weekend trip (leave 5pm Friday return Sunday at 11pm) whilst staying here alone sobbing the entire weekend and having to pump for the freezer instead of feeding my baby 😭 Idk I just need somebody to tell me if I’m being insane or not Would you let your partner/husband take your baby?

Nope!

Going back to work ?

How do you mommas feel about going back to work. I went back today & I’m so sad. I really wish I could stay at home with my little one all day. I’ve just been crying all day and cried all last night.

I thankfully will be working remote. I am nervous on how to balance the two but I’m grateful

No

I found that a natural schedule generally sets in at around 6 months.. just go with the flow until you see a pattern baby is giving x
