when does it get better? 😭 I'm going insane with my no sleeping colic baby. she's sleeping 2.5 hours all day & needs 24/7 reassurance. now she started this new thing of not wanting to latch but takes a bottle.

like I just fed her both sides 15 minutes each and now she's about to finish a 3oz bottle 😭 I do produce and enough because when I pump for 15 minutes I make 4oz total

Why are you giving a bottle? Have you tried a paci instead

@kambam because she's still hungry. I can tell in her cry and I originally tried a pacifier and she didn't want it

@bitchcraft but she didn't want to nurse

You can keep her on the breast though. I know how annoying it is to have them on all the time but it's just what they want at that age

- What pacifier are you using ? Sounds like she just needs to comfort nurse..

@beccaaalynnn11 soothie pacifier... but she turns away at the boob?

- So when my guy was little he hated those pacifiers. Now recently the last two weeks it’s all he’s wanted. We use MAM.. it’s got more of a nipple shape to it.

@beccaaalynnn11 I have a MAM one, guess I'll try it. thanks. 👍

- Yes ma’am! My first mam cane in a gift target gave me for making a registry 😅 hope maybe that helps. Did you say why you were giving her a bottle ?

@beccaaalynnn11 she just has a certain cry when she's hungry and certain cues. like when she's hungry she gets like aggressive with her pacifier. I think she gets impatient with BF sometimes

- Yeah.. it’s odd, but “neh” cries are hungry. My son stopped doing that at three months. So babies when they’re in pain, tummy troubles, think they have to nurse. Your supply won’t keep up with her if you keep feeding her the extra bottle. Nurse as long as she needs. My guy likes to nurse a lot. But at some point when he’s being fussy while he’s latched, I slip his pacifier in and rock to sleep. What’s something you’ve started to put her to sleep ? For example I just hold him and move my arms up and down or rock my top half. My sister would stand up and bounce with him, now that’s the only way he’s okay with her holding him 🤦🏻♀️😅 whatever you start now, will stick with her. So don’t go driving in the car unless you want a lot of night drives in your future 😅 And yes! @bitchcraft If you let down too quick, try milking yourself into a napkin or sink a couple squeezes first. ❤️

@beccaaalynnn11 we have a "routine" for sleeping down as good as it can be with a two month old. & I unfortunately wasn't blessed with a good supply no matter what I do, so she has to be supplemented 😪
