    LO should always get breast milk before solids right?

    Not necessarily - you just don't want to replace a nursing session with solids. She should still get as many nursing sessions as before. I give my LO her solids first and nurse after she eats

    I love that my DH is so hands on with our oldest but sometimes men are just plain stupid!!

    DH took DD up to the cottage with him for a couple of days and they just got home about an hour ago - they got home late because DD threw up on the way home - all over the place. So Mommy gives her a few soda crackers to snack on and some other bland things to nibble. I come down from putting LO to bed to find her with a plate of chips and salsa!! Seriously wtf?! The kid has an upset stomach and its less than an hour til bedtime and you fill her with spicy salsa?!

    I need you guys to be completely honest with me here and yes I'm asking a bunch of Internet friend strangers; am I crazy for being ok with bed sharing and giving no fucks about nursing dylan back to sleep when he wakes in the middle of the night? I mean, it's not like I have a love life to worry about?
    Completely honest...

    You do what you gotta do! Just research safe bed sharing first and go for it!

    I've already done all that. I don't have comforters or any of that crap on my bed. Just sheet and pillows which I use both of. I'm not a crazy sleeper do he'll never be smothered.

    @deidremarie I agree, do what you have to do.  Sometimes I wish I wasn't afraid to bed share.  More baby snuggles sound awesome.  Unfortunately I have to move around at night, so it wouldn't be safe.

    LO has been wailing (not a hungry or sleepy cry) but a full on "I'm in pain " cry and it's breaking my heart. He finally passed out next to me laying on his Boppy. I want my happy, content baby back.

    Oh girl, (((hugs))) that's never fun

    @deidremaria Do what you gotta!  We definitely have been bedsharing out of desperation, but even that wasn't working well enough for us.  Do whatever works for you!

    Thanks @deidremaria‌.


    Do your LOs have teething pain around the same time each day or does it have no rhyme or reason? He did this last night too and the only way he finally went to sleep was in the swing.
    Our dr said that the pain from teething and most inflammation really, is usually worse at night.

    @deidremaria‌ I do the same. I've never met a 10 year old that bed shared and needed a boob to go back to sleep. I don't think we are setting our kids up for failure or anything. There's no way I would function in normal life if I didn't bed share my kid is a shit sleeper.

    I wish I could get on board with just popping a boob in DD's mouth and be okay with her waking up 5 times a night. It's just not working anymore for me.

    I hear this! The only reason why I am Ok doing this is because we have mastered the art of side lying

    We do the same thing. Not sure my husband enjoys it but eh. He would hate it more if he was getting zero sleep!!!

    @RedDawnsRevenge‌ has he made any indication that he intends to look for work or get a job? Sounds like it's time to light a major fire under his ass.

    Nope. He claims he was offered $22 an hour at a speed shop in NC if he had tools. I told him last Thursday to call the guy back, and convineintly he couldn't find the number. I'm not sure what else I can do to motivate him.
    This is just not ok at all

    Would mil listen to you and back off helping her son and help him grow up? He needs to help support his family. Maybe when she says she has to help DH she's just making excuses because she wants to see her grand kids. Maybe get her on your side. She can watch the kids while DH goes and finds a job?

    Marriage counciling might make him realize there is a problem.

    Stop taking care of him...let him make his own dinner and take away his toys and extra spending cash?

    I don't really know... But sounds like he needs a wake up call and mil needs to let him grow up.

    Ahhh baby sleep. I second swerb in that my dd sttn really tanked my supply, along with early solids, I think. Initially I could pump a ton at that first pumping session, but once it regulated I wasn't making enough. I added fenugreek and another pumping session and kept up till a year.

    One upside of lo's 2-5 wakeups is that it's keeping my supply up; I've seen no effect from when I went back to work at 12 wks, which is awesome. I have to remind myself of this because it is making me a freaking zombie at work to never get a nice long stretch of sleep.

    It won't last forever, but it sure is annoying.

    @Emily041285‌ as I sit here stuffing my face with chips and dip, dreading the first wake up of the night, I just wanted to let you know you're not alone! I've had similar thoughts this week. It'll get better! Right?
    You're one step ahead of me by getting a plan in place to make you feel better/healthier!

    DH is OOT right now and just got a call from his parents that his grandma had a lung biopsy recently. She has been declining pretty fast of late and is being moved into assisted living tomorrow. They don't have results yet but something is going on and part of me wouldn't be surprised if it comes back cancerous. Ugh. This is so hard. My grandpa was just in the hospital and had to have a craniotomy for some pretty major brain trauma. Our families need a break.

    I'm so sorry (((hugs)))
