Im sorry you have had so many struggles with helping Noah get nutrition. I also have food allergies and a sensitive to dairy, mostly my dairy issues are similar to a histamine reaction with excess mucas production. Ive learned thats from a protein specific to cow dairy (casein) I hope the goat dairy is helpful, just watch the higher sugar content. My friend couldn't nurse as a baby and was given goat milk as a safe alternative but ended up with her baby teeth coming in with cavities from the high sugar content of goat milk. All of this stress is so undeserved, but im grateful you have the people and resources around you to help. And with the exception of a few misguided individuals, this is a safe space to vent and share your struggles, it helps everyone when we listen, share and support each other.

Big hugs Hannah. I hope things are a little easier for you. Lots of your parishioners must rely on you but it's ok for you to need too, I'm glad you felt that you could reach out to the yarny community. You are doing great and hopefully once you get proper allergy testing on Noah it will really help and hopefully take some of the weight off your shoulders. You got this!

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

Thank you so much for the support as always. Hugs friend!~

Oh how beautiful are the colors of these yarns and projects and happy mail😍🤩 First, thank you for sharing your personal bits and struggles. You are seen… most of all by God. He knows all and sees all and all things work together for good…according to His ☝🏽 purpose. Fix your eyes on Him Hannah, and find rest in him, let him provide the comfort and strength you need to have peace and joy again. I truly understand your hearts pain in the nursing department as I struggled with both my boys, so I pray for your heart , mind, and body as well as Noah’s. 🙏🏽🫶🏽🙏🏽 There is hope…you’re not the sad potato- daddy is!

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

Thank you 🥰 I’m sorry you had nursing struggles too. It’s all hard, isn’t it.

[@victoriabailey-johnson5868]

I truly feel for you. Many years ago my baby girl died 2 days after her birth. Of course on the 4th day my breast milk came in and just bawled my eyes out. My sister suggested I donate my milk. Which I did for a few months. It helped me knowing I was helping infants in need.😢 But I still had to deal with the grieving process. Stay strong dear Hannah.

[@debbiefox6846]

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

Oh my gosh. I am so sorry. Sending you so much love ❤️

Oh bless your heart Hannah. You guys are surely going through it. You are doing your best. I love all of your creations and gifts. Just keep hanging in there. This time of your life will be but a rough memory before you know it. ❤

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

Thank you so much 🥹❤️

[@lissac67]

You are doing a great job! My son had a dairy and egg allergy. Soy is harder, for sure. But allergy moms all know that it does get easier and will eventually become easier. The good thing is he will likely outgrow both. Many in a couple of years, and while my son was much longer, he still outgrow them all by age 8. So yes, he will be okay. He has you, his mama, who will do whatever she needs to to make sure he is okay. So trust yourself, and give yourself some grace. ❤

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

I’m so glad your son outgrew all his allergies!! That is awesome

[@kellyh1161]

Prayers for you and Noah. It is hard. I didn't have a nursing strike but other issues that were very overwhelming and difficult. You have a great support system. I'm sure between the lactation consultant and pediatrician you'll get something figured out.

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

Thank you so much 🩵. I’m sorry you had other issues with your babies too!

[@ChelleShellCrochet]

That shawl is going to be so pretty with all the yarns you’ve chosen. I finished a summer ripple blanket in cotton cakes last night & I’m on to a couple other modular blankets so I can put them together in the fall when it’s cool. So glad you’re feeling a little more positive already. You got this momma! 🧶💜🤗

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

I am OBSESSED with the shawl! The colors are just perfect. Modular blankets are really fun too. I hate the seaming though 😅

My heart just feels all the feels for you as you are going through this challenging time in your sweet baby’s life. I will not give you advice but I do offer my empathy and sympathy. In my life story, we adopted our first 2 babies. #1 baby was a dream infant. When she was 5 years old we were able to bring home baby #2. His babyhood was a challenge. We didn’t sleep all night for over 4 years. Your situation and ours are different but feeling overwhelmed is the same. Hang in there and know that God has this in His hands.

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

Oh gosh, four years! What a situation. These babies all just have minds of their own don't they.

[@halcrochets]

Hang in there mama 👐

Oh! I love the shawl. I've eyed that yarn a few times, but never purchased any. Now I want to make something with it. Love it so much! Lol! I love little kid drawings. My kids did similar drawings at that age. I have so much that I've saved. I need to scan/get photos of all of them and get photo books made for each child of all of my favorite art from them. I have several drawings and paintings framed from each of my kids. They make me smile every time I look at them.

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

Little kid drawings are the BEST. I love the idea of scanning them and making photo books!

[@ajspersonaltouch]

Sending more prayers for you. I get the feeling of not being enough. Since we adopted Em, I used to think i was not enough or messing up because I could not nurse and do a lot of things a biological mom could do. It took me a little while, but I was able to get over the hump after the first few weeks. It was a crazy feeling to be happy, yet cry at the drop of a hat during the first couple weeks of her life. Plus i had other issues, due to my illness. I had people tell me i was being selfish, and should not even adopt a baby or child. It was a hard time , but I got through it with help from my husband. But he never knew everything. i did hide some from him. Sending love and hugs, everyhing will be ok, and I know, you know that.

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

Everything will be okay eventually ❤️ This is true even when it doesn't feel like it

[@wendymorris]

When my son was a baby he was allergic to dairy and soy but he was able to have goats milk, this is not advice, hopefully just encouragement. Keeping you in my prayers 💜

[@melissachapman499]

I had watched your previous video, about Baby Noah and his nursing issues, but I'm not even sure if I commented (I have a lot of my own struggles right now, so I typically watch and haven't been commenting). I'm glad you don't want advice/medical advice, etc because I have none to give (I generally do not give unsolicited advice anyway), but I have lots of love to send to you via the universe. Lots of love and well-wishes, and plenty of cheers for you - rooting for you both right now. It's a tough time for you both. But I know you're a good momma, your children are your life, you are doing your absolute best for him. Things will get better eventually (I actually hate it when people say this to me, but I know it's true). Big hugs and lots of love to you and Baby Noah (I really want to call him Baby Chonk LOL). ♥

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

Thank you for the love and the well wishes 🥰 I appreciate it more than I can put into words. And I am sending so much love right back to you with your struggles ❤️❤️

When it comes to stitch count in patterns I like when it says it should increase by “7” each row or “2” each row that helps me best vs the stitch count bc then even if the pattern has sizes or if I double it for something bigger I still know even if my stitch count is different what the increase should be. Does that make sense?

[@TheCozyCottageCrochet]

Makes sense to me!

[@emilyk6510]

Not having any stitch counts in a pattern would drive me bonkers!
