hey there mommas, is it normal for your baby to start eating only from one side at each nursing session? my daughter is just about 7 months and now she only wants to eat from one breast during her feeding after naps, I try to get her to nurse from both sides but she'll just turn her head away. she is eating solids as well but we do that after nursing so it can't be because she's full from that. just wondering if it's normal to not want to nurse as much in a single sitting
@verobaby, no matter how much I try I can't get anything to come out when I pump. even when my milk came in and my Boobs were huge and sore I couldn't get anything out in a pump.
if you pump take that opportunity to pump the side she didn't eat from. when my son started doing that at night i pumped & stored.
that's what I figured but being a first time mommy I wanted to make sure she's getting enough to eat. at night she'll nurse from both sides but not during the day
sure. they can do that at anytime. she may start nursing from both off she hits a growth spurt.
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!
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!
Is it normal for my 2 month old to only want to nurse off of one boob? I try to put her on the other one after she pops off the first but she's not interested and will turn her head away. She seems completely content and often coos and hangs out for a little bit and then goes to sleep. Ive tried waiting 10-15 minutes and trying to put her back on the other side but she just won't even open her mouth. Is she just full after the one boob? Do I need to pump the other one? I switch every feeding, it...
I love how I repeatedly told my father in law not to let my daughter root through the toy box because she doesn’t want anything out of it anyway and he keeps picking her up and taking her to the toy box no matter how many times I tell her no and tell him she doesn’t even want anything out of there anyway. At first I told him “only let her get one toy” so she picks one up and he is still holding her over the toy box then tries to put her over the baby gate so she can grab more. I’m sorry but you ...
have you checked the suction or the size of the funnel thing. sometimes if it's too big or too small it won't stimulate your milk. also don't turn up the suction to max until you start to leak. i have to leave it on low for a few minutes before i get a let down then i turn it up. keep the speed low too until let down. if that doesn't help lactation consultants can also help with pumping. it took me a while to learn how to do it as well.
