Am I doing something wrong?

I honestly feel bad “complaining” about this…my baby sleeps through the night almost every night. But during the day he will be up from 7am to 3 or 4 before finally falling asleep. I breast feed when I’m not working as much as I can but other than that I’m not making enough so I supplement. It will be like 3 hours straight of bottle where he pushes it away and I burp him and then play or lay him down etc and ten minutes later he is hungry and all over again, he seems to fight sleep so hard. Just now I got him to sleep by patting him and giving him a binky and then literally having to place a pillow on his lower half. Idk what it is, I imagine it can’t be attachment as I’ve unfortunately had to be a working mom since before he was even two months old. its just a little draining to work 50 hours a week and then wrestle him like this on my days off. sometimes i feel my entire day off consists of this then when he is asleep ib rush to eat and clean..also he is 3 months and sometimes his poop is clay like and idk if this is okay either. its like still stuck in his cheeks lol. not just a clean wetter poop.

I don't have advice, but same 😩 it's draining

I’m sorry, it’s so hard and I can imagine you’re exhausted working on top of it. My LO also fights sleep she has to be set down at least twice after a few hours of cluster feeding lately and bounced on the yoga ball in between each try to get her down. I’m not a medical professional but my Only concern would be to bring up the poop to your ped, my doctor always mentions wt this wge their poop is supposed to be more fluid, anything not mushy can be a sign of dehydration or an issue. I’d bring it up so LO is not in discomfort. You’re doing great, give yourself some grace.

You are not complaining. We all need an outlet and a chance to ask “is this normal” as moms.

@Christina I feel bad I haven’t called the dr sooner but now I will. He definitely has the wetter poops but also sometimes not. I will call Monday thank w❤️
