WWYD?

in August 2012 Moms
I've been in contact with a few hospitals in Chicago. They will review my MRI and decide if I do need surgery. If I do, it's one night in the hospital. Two of the hospitals, including the one I'm leaning towards, allow baby to room with mom if she's the food source.

H thinks it would be best for both of us if I leave him with my sister. He thinks the hospital will stress Howell out and I will benifit from the rest from skipping MOTN feedings...although I'll probably still pump once. I feel like I'll be stressed leaving him and Howell isn't as familiar with my sister as he was before we moved. We will be there a couple days before, though and he loves his cousins. As crazy as she is, I know he'd get great care from her.

My biggest worry is my supply taking a hit. I keep telling myself I have worked through some hits in the past and brought it back up but I don't know. What would you do?

    I know you're both right. I just wish my first night away from him would be a weekend in Sedona or something glorious like that.

    I would say I agree with Kiki and scout. Although I do have a condition in there if H is at all like A. We have already hit stranger danger. Anyone that he is not regularly familiar with now will cause him to scream if they hold him. I would test it in th

    Many, many, bf babies sttn and their mom's bf supply is fine. Both you and baby will be fine. Remember that there are natural deviations from a "schedule", too - sometimes babies nap through a feeding, etc. and it all works out. Especially this late in

    I'm with everyone else. I've never had a patient who could sleep soundly completely through the night without some Ambien. A hospital is loud, even in the middle of the night.. especially with a shift change at 11 and 6 or 7. I would leave him with your s

    We've definitely hit the stranger anxiety stage but he's so social and loves other kids. I'm banking on his cousins to keep him happy. It's too bad H won't be there. He will be joining us for part of it shortly after. A great many babies and mommas have s

    Not sure if anymore covered this. But, I assume you'll have some sort of anesthesia. I don't think they'll want you to nurse for 24 hours after. That's how it was with me. I had to go in for outpatient surgery after DD1, I didn't heal correctly after chil
