Velcro baby temperament
Baby is 2 months old tomorrow and I know she’s still so young and brand new to the world. She’s super sensitive due to her tummy issues so she’s always been a high needs, contact napping, constant holding/rocking/soothing, and co-sleeping baby. I’m a FTM and can’t handle letting her CIO. I love her so much but my back, shoulders, and neck are messed up from always holding her and having to rock her. Did anyone else w a baby w a temperament similar to my daughter’s grow out of it? Or did they grow up to be very sensitive toddlers as well?
Also, anyone have any experience w the Moonboon?
Breastfeeding struggles
Anyone else feeling absolutely defeated with breastfeeding! My boy was born with a tongue tie, took 2 weeks too get it sorted, felt like we had latches sorted for maybe 2 days, then I got a bleb on one nipple, that's been excruciating and it's now burst and I don't feel like my son is latching right or it's just so painful it feels that way. Mostly feeding him from my left side so that's becoming sore now from being the main source of food and I also feel I'm not producing enough milk as he's always hungry once he's stopped feeding, after 2.5 weeks exclusively breastfeeding I had to give up and give him a bottle of formula to give myself a break. I've not been expressing because it's been too painful just to feed nevermind using a pump too and I just feel absolutely defeated after trying so hard to have to probably supplement with formula now as I have no supply pumped for him! I know it seems daft cause it's only formula but my first struggled with breastfeeding and was on bottles before we even left the hospital, I really wanted it to work this time and I feel like I'm failing 😭
