my first son was formula fed because he was in the nice for about 24 hrs so he was bottle fed and since I have large areola he was not latching although he did get bm in the bottle. his colic and straining was horrible even resulted in a minor hernia until I switched to nutramigen at 5 months. after that he was a normal happy baby. this time around I tried to only bf but my din got jaundice so he to was in the nursery for about 2 days where he got firmula. he would latch only for a few minutes and then pull away later to know it was because of my large areolas. I ended up supplementing only a couple times but he started getting the same symptoms as his brother. I didn't drink soda, or dairy and limited gassy foods but he was still excessively crying and straining. his bowel movementSD were still nearly black at weeks, I just couldn't see him staining any longer so I am not only bottle feeding nutramigen and within 2 feedings her stool changed. he was happy, and his stomach wasn't rock hard. I feel guilty he only breastfed for one month but I honestly feel I'm doing the best for him. there is a superstition that my mood affects my breast milk and because I am under a lot of stress and getting upset it might have caused a negative reaction while breast feed h.

well your not!!! My daughter w
refused to gain weight know breastmilk alone and when I started to supplement high calorie formula my supply depleted and we chose to only formula feed after that! Obviously she wasn't getting what she needed from it so we quit! it's okay not to we are still awesome moms for knowing what's best for our children!!! Don't feel bad momma you rock:)
@autumnrae, I just feel bad because everyone seems to push it but I just didn't feel comfortable knowing how he was struggling and how he was in pain. I went through it with my first and I didn't want him tomgo.thepigh it. So many people look down on formula feeding that it made me feel like a.bad mother .
hun a fed baby is what matters!! Some babies bf just isn't an option!
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
(Thread Closed) Nighttime feedings
So I got this awesome bottle warmer that has a cooling chamber so you don't have to go to the fridge for a bottle. My husband told his co-worker about it and she asked why we needed it if I'm going to breastfeed. He said its for when I start pumping so he can help with feedings at night. She then said he shouldn't have to get up and help because I don't work.
I want to know if anyone added cereal or oatmeal to your baby's bottle. My little man gets lazy sometimes and doesn't want to eat his oatmeal so I give him his formula. He only drinks 6oz but that is not enough and he's hungry but won't drink more than 6oz per feeding so I was wondering if it is okay to put cereal/oatmeal in his bottle. What are your thoughts?
Just so mad at my husband before we moved he promised he would put our son to bed at night and get him his bottle. Then promised that on the mornings he doesn't work or the ones he works later he would feed him breakfast so I can have my relax time before having him all day long. Then every morning he is here he says he's not going to get him breakfast because he doesn't want to and sits there telling me to go make and feed our son breakfast. Then every time I remind him of his promise he rolls ...
Am I wrong for telling my Bd that because we not Married my baby don't have to have his last name? He really got mad and told me I was project n ignorant. Crazy part is I was thinking about giving my baby his middle and last name
@autumnrae, thank you! thank you for telling me that, it makes me feel a lot better! !
