Any advice?

I don't know what to think anymore, i start to think im crazy or my little madam is playing with me 😅is 6 weeks now that I'm cosleeping with my 10 weeks old baby girl on an sofa bed. I'm EBF and she is constantly on boob during the day and every hour or 2 at night time. I've tried every kind of dummi for help her with her stomach and help me with a little me time but she just refused them, however it didn't bother me as I'm a Sahm, and enjoying it, but what concern me ,is that at 4 weeks when I was laying her in the moses basket or simply in the bed she became sick, and not just a little split, she projectile vomit, and this was happened every time I was laying her down except for the nappy change when I was next to her. We finish twice at the ER because she was chocking with thik saliva, and as the doctor said it was because of the reflux. She was on gaviscon and supposed to start with omeprazole too but I never give it to her. Now, when she fall sleep ,after she finish on boob, i lay her on her back ,in my arms but on her back ,and she didn't throw up, not even a little spit 😑 I'm happy with that don't get me wrong🥲 but how couldbe possible, if I lay her down in the crib or moses basket or even in our sofa she wake up and start to be sick if she is alone, and in the same position but in my arms she is absolutely fine 🙂 any advice on how can i lay her down without wake her up and make her sick?I've tried everything I know, I really don't know what to do.

When we hold them they’re usually naturally at a slight angle which assists in reflux. My baby did this too. Was fine in my arms but would spit up the second I’d lay him down! I held him for 10-30 minutes after a feed and by the time I laid him down he was fine again. If I laid him down immediately, it would cause some reflux and he’d spit up. His specific reasoning for getting reflux (and this may be different for yours!) was that his nose was plugged so he was gulping too much air while feeding. Clearing his nose w saline spray fixed it and he stopped gulping air. I still hold him up for about 10 minutes after a feed— even at just a slight incline and he’s had minimal tummy problems. That being said he still spits up from time to time which is to be expected! Though EVERY TIME or projectile vomiting as you described is not. Hopefully these tricks can help you and your little one?

thank you for the answer, i use saline spray and i maintain her lil nose clean, I try to hold her 30 min ,even an hour, but it didn't work , if she didn't wake up there's no problem, but as soon as she wake up ,after a couple of minutes she start to cry and throwing up, and is scary because se chockes.

Really bad reflux is often a sign of cows milk protein allergy. It's definitely worth it to cut dairy for 3 weeks, as a trial. If it is cmpa, bubs reflux will be markedly improved after 3 weeks.

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

I feel like just a milk cow

Hi I have a 16 day old via c section, I'm a FTM never having been around babies before as I am the youngest of my household and from a small family. My husband is fantastic with our little one. But ever since I've had the baby I just feel like the only thing I'm good for is producing milk. I feel disconnected from my husband like the only reason he's around is because am producing milk. We were having some issues before the baby and we're struggling it took a while to feel like he was onboard even though he said he was from the moment we found out. I dunno if I'm feeling like a spear part because I'm lacking confidence with baby or because I feel like he wouldn't mind being a single dad. Is this postpartum hormones or something else?

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Crawling

Did anyone’s little one start crawling yet? I feel like we are falling behind but really have no idea. I’m trying to introduce more floor time but it’s been rough because of having hardwood floors and our 80 lb oblivious to life dog. I got us a carpet for the living room and trying to put the dog out more when the weather allows. She sits like a pro and will roll to get the things she needs😅 but no real signs of crawling yet.
