There has to be another way to fucking do this

Okay so my four month old is driving me crazy at night time with the diaper changes. She typically wakes 1-2 times a night to eat and I have always changed her diaper before feeding her because she always falls back asleep after the bottle. And when she wakes up she wakes up furious. Screaming at the top of her god damn lungs. It makes the diaper changes very difficult. I do dim lights white noise but nothing calms her until that bottle is in her fucking mouth. It’s making me loose my marbles. Obviously I’m not going to change her diaper after she’s already calm and fed. Because then she would just loose her shit again. And obviously I’m not going to just not change her because that is probably one of the reasons she woke up. I’m not sure what to do but I’m getting sick of it. I’m sick of getting fucking screamed at like this every single god damn night.

Hey , I’ve gone through the same things myself. Depending on how well advanced your daughter is with eating and if you’ve fed her before while she laying down .. I put the bottle in her mouth at an angle or let her hold it bc she started to hold her bottle at 4 months .. while she’s drinking or has it in her mouth I change her diaper so no screaming while changing ( not always safe especially if left unattended, but this trick works if she is not a big gagger or can get the milk down while laying down for the short time you’re changing her ) then continue to feed her upright and she’s off to sleep as soon as she’s done!

Could you do half the bottle, change, and then finish the bottle? That way she’s had a bit to eat to settle her?

Seems like maybe mama has some pp rage babies scream and it’s normal for them to wake still at night.. feed her first then change her diaper

I’m sorry but does anyone else find it secretly satisfying when …

When you were the first of your friends to have kids and they low key fell out of your life, never supported you, and ghosted you a little and now they’re having their first pregnancy and they start reaching out for help and advice.

My friend just called crying because her parents called her fat at 25 weeks pregnant (she looks normal). She was obviously very upset and I let her know they were assholes and not to worry.
My parents did the same thing to me with my weight and non of my childless friends understood or gave a shit.

I worry about my age

I’m 39 and have a 4yo and am 33 weeks with my second. I’ll be 40 in September. And honestly, I’m kinda sad about it. I wish I’d started having babies earlier. I worry that when this baby turns 20, I’ll be 60. My parents are in their 60s now and they’re getting so much joy from being with their grandkids and I’m worried I’m not going to be too old to really enjoy them.

I love my husband, but sometimes I wish we’d found each other sooner and had babies earlier. IDK. I’m just feeling sad about the passage of time.

This will be a topic at my next therapy session lol

Thanks for letting me vent.

Do you usually listen to your body/intuition when you feel weird around someone or get bad vibes around someone?

I have had incidents in the past where my body had this involuntary feeling around certain people. I was unsure what exactly their intentions were during that time but I found out that my intuition was right. Except theh ended up being worse than I realized. A mutual friend told me about one of those people threatening to kill behind my back. (He went to jail for that after that) and the other person was a lady who was trying to get me in trouble when I was innocent. My social anxiety is off the charts after these traumatic experiences. There is someone else in my life now who gives off very mixed vibes. On one hand he is nice to my face. He seemed to have good intentions for the most part even if I didn't agree with everything he does. (We agree on a lot of things but he also does a lot of things that I don't agree with.) But now I am at a point where I feel panic anytime he is around me. I feel so judgemental but almost anytime that I ignored my intuiton and gave the people the benefit of the doubt it got worse. Its made my trust issues worse and made me afraid to get close to anyone whether it is a friend or family member or partner.

Tips on fully emptying breasts?

So when I gave birth to my son 2/26, I was quickly increasing in production on my colostrum. The lac consultant and all the nurses who helped me hand express said they could feel I had a TON of milk ducts and would easily be able to produce. Well here we are 6 weeks later and there is maybe one pumping session per day I get over 2oz between both breasts. I go back and forth between my wearable “MomMed” brand pump and Madela pump in style pump. I realized recently I needed to replaced the valve on my wearables and have done so. I also realized I am still able to hand express after a 30 min pump session with both types of pumps so I am realizing I don’t get fully empty which is probably why my supply isn’t increasing as I am doing everything else right, (eating oatmeal daily, taking lengendairymilk’s Cash cow supplements, and hydrating with plenty of water and coconut water). Adding hand expression to my pumping sessions has taken FOREVER. Even after like 30 additional minutes of hand expression I am still able to get streams of milk showing me I am still not empty. I am tired, my hands and breasts hurt, and I feel like giving up. Any advice? Please help as I don’t want to fully switch to formula if I don’t have to.
