My mom hates bf.
My aunt is all for it.
I can't win with either... If I bf one is annoyed becasue it's "time consuming" if I feed some supplement the other one acts like I'm doing a sin.
Gah!
I can't talk to anyone about anything.
I don't understand how someone can hate BFing. Unless you are clearly flaunting it and whipping out your boobs to make her mad, what's the big deal? You're feeding your kid. People may be uncomfortable, but whatevs, it's natural.
I had to drive an hour each way to the city today to go pick my cap and gown up at school. I decided to take J with me to introduce him to everyone.
As soon as I got on the highway to go there, he poops. Okay, fine. Pull off and change him in a parking lot. He usually poops once every other day-ish. I figured I was safe. Nope! As soon as I get on the highway on the way home he does the same thing!
And then a third time when we got home. Kid is a poop machine today!
Vent: I have an ear infection. I've never in my adult life had an ear infection. I don't want to go to the doctor because I don't think it will do any good. I'm allergic to most antibiotics and don't want to take anything strong for pain since I'm bfing. But this sucks. :-(
@CHPhotoMama I'd still go. They can give you an antibiotic ear drop if you don't want to take anything systemically (as long as you're not allergic) and they can give you drops to help with the pain too.
Just wanted to pop in and say cheers. This mama is going to get a good wine buzz on after the crappy day I had at school. One of my kiddos literally developed an obsession with feet and would not leave my feet alone all day. Seriously. I can't make this crap up.
I had such a good day. LO napped excellently! ... Nowwwww... He's been up for 2 hours and based on his general habits... It means I may not get to bed til past 11....... Sooo tired now. Ugh
Eta... Maybe I should just feed him again at like 10:30 (just shy of a hour from now) and hope that "resets" him??
Soooo after not napping a whole lot this afternoon, E passed out at 5:30, woke briefly at 10:30 to eat, and went right back to sleep. I fear the wee hours of the morning when she decides to wake for the day. I wrapped up my cake about 45 minutes ago...I should really go to bed, but it's hard to sleep when I don't get any wind down time!

Why is everybody's H being buttheads today? ):< I want to hit mine.
I was telling him about some douche who was riding my tail on the interstate for a couple of miles while I was trapped behind a semi, going over the speed limit by a good 5-10mph. He then proceeds to tell me that I'm over reacting, and I don't need to get so upset about stuff like that. Wtf dude. I wasn't getting mad about it all over again. I was telling you that it made me a little annoyed, and now I don't want to tell you when I'm upset anymore.
Fast forward. Trying to have a little fun before bed, and he gets to finish, but when I tell him it's my turn to get some attention, he tells me to wait like it's some kind of motherfucking joke to him, and the whole conversation ends with me in tears and him rolling over to sleep like it's nothing to worry about.
I officially feel like MH has zero interest in me anymore. Definitely not helping my state of mind. It's just been a peachy keen week. Someone get me a drink before I go BSC.
@Blonderedhead781 I haaaaaaaaaate when DH acts like this. I understand that you're going to work and doing things during the day, but what in the actual fuck do you think I do all day??? Lie around and take naps??
Being home with LO right now isn't all fun and sunshine and naptime. It's hours and hours of feeding, changing and soothing a fussy baby who can't be put down for a second. On the off chance I can get her to lie somewhere, anywhere that isn't me I'm using that time to clean because apparently I'm the only one that can do that too. Also, my husband doesn't even get up for the MOTN feed unless it's Friday or Saturday night. So excuse me if I need a few hours to myself to feel like an actual human when you get home from work.
I have to put DD to bed every night, which consists of at least an hour of rocking while she fights sleep with her life, fusses, cries, screams, falls asleep, wakes back up, etc, etc. Yesterday my H "apologized" for me having to put her to bed every night and said that he just needs some time alone at the end of the day. I didn't really think about it at the time but now that I'm thinking about it again, that's bullshit. I spend all day everyday with one or both of our children. I don't get any alone time either. None. Not even the serenity of driving to and from work alone like he gets. Men!
20 oz sounds like they are feeding her like a formula fed baby.
20oz is even too much for a formula fed baby.... my kid is a porker and he would never eat more than 12 oz in a normal workday, and even that's a stretch.
It's awful! It also really bugs me that the title is about the 'teen mom' when it appears that it was the 'teen dad' who was watching the baby at the time. Unfair bias.

Eta: just one beer... And I'll probably actually eat something substantial after my slice of cake
*hangs head in shame*
@futuremrsspriggs now I want red velvet cake! Yum!!
much time at MOTN feedings.
Example: I spilled noodles on my daughter's head. They were cold, and she was asleep, and obviously not bothered by it.
I also NIP'ed for the first time today.
Also managed to get LO a bath, shave my own legs, and figured out side lying nursing this morning.

I agree with PPs. Are they over feeding her??
