I'm not producing enough milk . I had to give in and give her Similac yesterday . now she's sound asleep. I gave her my breastfeed first and then the formula . then I pumped.
who else does both ? I didn't want to give formula but it got point when I thought she was full evetytime, 5 Mins later she wants to eat again . this happened every time :/
omgggg. I didn't know honey !! congrats ! and yeah I guess both is the way to go ! @schevanya
my baby is 2 days old and i do both because I don't have enough milk yet :(
how old is the baby? it's normal for a newborn to fall asleep during a feeding & then wake up after a lil while & need to eat again they're stomachs are so tiny. your body knows how much your baby needs to eat & only regulates that much if that's all she's eating. if you don't want to supplement get ahold of a peer counselor for breast feeding & have them help you.
It's the fact she keeps falling asleep while feeding and I keep trying to keep her up. I had no time to eat or drink, clean , shower; basucally anything because she always wanted to eat. not eating and drinking enough made me produce less. so while I feed her my breastfeed then during formula feeding I will be pumping @firefly
Your newborn should be nursing eight to 12 times per day for about the first month. If you feel like you're feeding your little one more often than someone you know whose baby is formula fed, you might be. Why? Because breast milk digests easier than formula, which means it moves through your baby's digestive system faster and, therefore, makes your baby hungry.

I wanted to do one of these before our breastfeeding journey ended. I have a feeling it’s soon 😔 since her dr has us giving her formula to give her more calories, I’m finding it difficult to give her breastmilk as well. She gets full off of me alone so she doesn’t want the formula if I breastfeed her first. And if I give her formula first, she doesn’t want the breastmilk. I’ve been alternating feedings but that’s just caused my supply to drop. She’s getting chunky, though. That’s all I care abou...
I just absolutely love some women on here! Some woman wants to write on another women's post telling her she shouldn't be having sex at all in the beginning of pregnancy. I didn't know she was her doctor. Then she wants to tell me that the first trimester is only 1-9 weeks pregnant. And she lost her baby at 4 weeks pregnant due to sex. Like sweetie that's your period starting!
Will your Mom be in the delivery room?
My mom made it sound like she was gonna be in the delivery room when I give birth, and quite frankly, I would just like it to be me and my fiancé. It's our first, and I want to share that special moment with just him. I don't want to hurt her feelings, and I know this is something she would really like to be a part of. So I feel bad telling her no.
I can't take it anymore! Haley (yes my 1mth old and no I wasn't able to go through this "joy" of nursing my older daughter, Molly) has been screaming non stop for 6hrs! All she wants to do is eat and I can't have her attached to me all day, everyday! She has wanted to eat every hr on the hr for the past 3hrs! I put her in her room so I don't scream at her but I just can't take it!
FTM problems...
So I've made it pretty clear that I want to buy my daughter her fist Halloween costume. Her babysitter/nanny keeps saying she wanted to make her one. I told her yesterday that I wanted to find her something that my SO and I could dress up as a family. So I told her I am going to get it. She just text me and said 'not trying to step on your toes but I bought her two costumes'. She does this all the time. Anytime I want to do the "first" things with her she immediately does it. It...
ohh thanks, yeah she's 2 days and doing both cuz don't have enough milk yet and she gets sooo hungry
