You can be guaranteed if she really was a solo ‘mom’ she would not be breastfeeding cause she wouldn’t have the time. She has the time cause mammy does everything elseI’d love to try to breastfeed but it’s impossible for me and her smugness is really off putting… she thinks she is a superior being because she is breastfeeding
I had a premature baby last year and at that stage two public health nurses advised us to keep wakening for feeds to ensure weight gain. Was she not hoping one of them would be a certain weight when weighed last and the baby hadn't reached it so why is she letting them go hours on end at night. Lisa likes her sleep too much in my opinion and is being enabled by Mammy and Daddy from what I see. Even in pregnancy she was in her bed a lot. God love her when those two are more active or when they are up and running about.I put them in awake and they self soothethey’re 6 weeks old. They do not know self soothe. They fall asleep because they are newborns. How will she cope when she’s got two teething babies? One waking the other..
it’s the smugness of the whole thing. My babies are breastfed and they’re sleeping through the night etc etc. I also think at 6 weeks for premature babies that are still gaining that you should still be waking them for feeds? Maybe not!
3oz is the norm at that stage. It is also a sign of reflux, the milk is soothing the burning so they feed and feed and feedI had a premature baby last year and at that stage two public health nurses advised us to keep wakening for feeds to ensure weight gain.

I'm pretty sure at 6 weeks my boy was also only taking up to 3oz.
Totally understand her smugness being off-putting. Breastfeeding isn't for everyone. I done it twice and it's great, so handy and quick even when pumping. It's free and it's good nutrition. I switched to formula after 3 months because I was touched out and I needed space to find myself both times. Thats important too. You're entire being can't be defined by motherhood. If you want to be happy and a good role model for your kids hold on to parts of yourself and enjoy them.I’d love to try to breastfeed but it’s impossible for me and her smugness is really off putting… she thinks she is a superior being because she is breastfeeding
100%!! My first baby was like this and I thought he was hungry I didn’t know any better! Peaked at 6 weeks and he was viscous!! He had a milk allergy. I hope she gets the baby checked. Just for peace of mind if nothing else.3oz is the norm at that stage. It is also a sign of reflux, the milk is soothing the burning so they feed and feed and feed

Dear love her if she thinks she has parenthood cracked because she can pump some milk....a very rude awakening incomingI’d love to try to breastfeed but it’s impossible for me and her smugness is really off putting… she thinks she is a superior being because she is breastfeeding
Wait till the girls start hitting and kicking her, slamming doors and turfing things across the room in a rage. That’s the fun part. The baby stage is so so easy. Although my 5 year old still doesn’t sleep and I know that’s not normal however it’s still not a walk in the parkDear love her if she thinks she has parenthood cracked because she can pump some milk....a very rude awakening incoming
Babies don't move, they are where you left them and safe.Wait till the girls start hitting and kicking her, slamming doors and turfing things across the room in a rage. That’s the fun part.

Aleach stage has it's challenges but anyone that thinks the newborn stage is the hardest is sadly mistaken. It's a breeze compared to the restBabies don't move, they are where you left them and safe.
Toddlers fall and wreck the place , school kids have fall outs with friends and teenagers....I'm saying nothing!!
It’s the constant ‘no’ for me. That’s the hard part. Battle to get out the door for school etc etc. With the baby he’s just into the buggy and away we go. Worse thing that can happen is he will cry but the baby stage is defo the easiestAleach stage has it's challenges but anyone that thinks the newborn stage is the hardest is sadly mistaken. It's a breeze compared to the restand see when they start talking back and giving you cheek
A it must be hard on her dad I dont care how easy going he is cant be easy watching the pumping going on.Pumping with the nightdress up around the back of her neckimagine walking in on that sight.
Please tell me she does not pump on front of her father??!A it must be hard on her dad I dont care how easy going he is cant be easy watching the pumping going on.
Is 5oz not a collosal amount for such small babies?They are chunking up nicely. They won't be little for long if they are taking 5oz already. My first at 6 weeks was only taking 1-1.5oz each feed
I think it’s a huge amount especially for babies who were premature. And she said that’s every 3 hours so that’s a huge volume per dayIs 5oz not a collosal amount for such small babies?
Like mine was full term and loved her bottles she was a chunk but couldn't drink more than 3oz until she was about 4.5/5 months old!
She also would sleep in her crib all night if I let her (but the phn said to wake her for a bottle) until that good old 4 month sleep regression hit.
