Update on his paci feeling helpless more like in trouble...
Update on the paci I tried all the different ones mom recommended and still no luck the dr even wants me to keep pushing for the paci but he is literally refusing I even put a drop of sugar water on it he spit them out idk what to do now cause he can't get milk Everytime he makes noise he want to use it as a paci but that's not good been trying since birth and he is totally refusing when I go back to work I want it as easy for his dad as possible but Loyal is not hearing it do you ladies know any other tricks I could try he sucked the new mam one for about a sec and spit it right out like nothing is coming out I know he is not hungry cause he will take 4oz then wants to drink another oz right after he burp but will stop sucking when he falling asleep soon I take the bottle out again he is upset. Then he put milks in his jaws and will have a fit when I squeeze it out I only do it cause it goes down the wrong pipe when he is laying down and I would have a fit of something happened to him

4 oz is waaaaaay too much for a 3 week old baby. His belly is probably stretched. Be sure you are pace feeding, it should take 5 mins per .5 oz and a burp ever .5; once he’s older it’s a burp every 1 ounce and 1 ounce for ever 5 minutes. There are great images on google and videos on youtube.
Have you considered reflux (silent is a possibility too). They confuse the burning of the acid for hunger because they don’t know the difference. Also, milk is soothing. Look up the symptoms- watery eyes, red eyes, arching of the back, increased mucous, etc.

@laniejay I told the drs I was concerned but they just pushed it off and said give him a paci

@ambrebby2u, ask to see a pediatric GI then. Don’t let them push you off.

@laniejay I scheduled him a appointment with them for Tuesday I went all around the dr

@ambrebby2u, good work, mama! In the mean time- pace feeding will help. Less food more often is better for reflux. You never want their tummy full. Keep him upright for 20 minutes after a feed. Babywearing helps.

Why not soothe in a different way. Some babies just aren't down with them.

@mhbb3 I try but his thing is that he used to want my breast just sitting in there and the bottle so the dr recommended trying a paci cause its not good for him to use me as a paci or his bottle I swaddle and hold him alot
Amber·
@taylorsmommy1017 yes if I'm holding him also and I do it alot I think it's helping somr

What about a rocker or a swing?
Amber·
@mhbb3 he'll sit in it as long as I'm near him
Amber·
@taylorsmommy1017 I think so cause when I have to change him he have a fit
Amber·
@taylorsmommy1017 I think that's what it is cause he hold hands like he is falling or her looks really scared
