Hey christine, thanks to your birthing and breastfeeding classes, I had no problem getting my baby to latch on. Um, on first few days yes, it gets better after that.
But recently, I have problem getting my 4 months old baby OFF my breast. She needs to be breastfed to sleep. And if I took out my breast, she will start looking for it after 10 minutes. I've tried many many nights not to give in but she kept screaming so loud as if she's in so much pain (well I know she's not).
I've try took the breast out before she sleep and try to pat her to sleep, still not working, she will cry after a while and wanna suck on the breast. That way, she will doze off very fast. But my breasts need to be there, "standby" for her when she suddenly woke up to look for her walking pacifier.
Also, she rejects all kind of feeding method of expressed breastmilk, I've tried bottle, dropper, syringe, spoon... nothing work, she only want direct breastfeed.
I can't go anywhere else because I am totally stucked with her demand.
Is there any way to get her drink from the bottle and not sleep on my breast?
Hi Christine, I am not sure if my earlier comment was submitted successfully because I still don't see it here.
I was wondering if my sudden intake of eggs (at least one a day or more) for a week could cause my baby to have an allergic reaction with his whole body getting covered in hives. My baby is now 7 months old but I had not really eaten eggs up until now. Nothing else in the baby's routine or diet changed.
Is it possible for food that I eat to filter through my body to the extent of giving the baby an allergic reaction? Are there other foods to avoid?
I'm a mom of three children. All breastfed - not without problems, but it was a wonderful experience creating a very close relationship between us.Breastfeeding isn't just feeding & providing protection against illness, it is an amazingly intimate relationship between you & your child, also providing your child with the sense of security they need to venture out into their ever expanding world. Truly amazing is the sense of pride you feel when looking at your growing baby & knowing that from the time of conception everything has come from you. My 1st birth was accelerated & 2nd induced - both extremely painful. For my 3rd, I stayed at home for most of my labour & found that just my moving around & getting myself into different positions the labour was so much more bearable. I would actually say I enjoyed that labour. Following that I developed a keen interest in active birth - so different to everything that I learnt during my midwifery training.
I have a passion to help mothers to try & achieve the kind of birth they would like & to help them breastfeed their babies successfully. This is now my work & probably also my hobby as it involves almost all of my time.
