Cruz,
Yes, I think you need to visit her. She is feeling overwhelmed. Is this her
first baby? You can remember how terrifying that is. She could be just having "baby
blues" (hormone fluctuations) which is highly normal and does go away. She needs
unconditional support right now. I would contact a La Leche League leader in your
area (call 1-847-519-7730 and follow the menu to be directd to one) to help with the
breastfeeding one on one. Sometimes, all a new mom really needs is someone to hold
her baby for her so she can shower and feel like woman again. Let me know once you
find her how serious it is. You don't want her newborn to be in danger. Kelli

Hi Cruz! Your children sound lovely! I think you are making your
breastfeeding work wonderfully with your schedule. That is the trick of it, after
all! She is getting the best for her---mind and body! Do you live in CA? Kelli

Good Morning ,
I have and 11 year old Shawn a 10 year old Valerie and little Ericka is 9
1/2 months old. She loves to eat solid food and as soon as she is fininshed with
dinner it seems like she just needs to breast feed immediately. I mean she eats off of
me at 5 and then again at 7 then to go to bed at 10. She wakes sometimes about 1am but
i am now trying to just pat her back to sleep then feed her at 5am.. She used to sleep
straight through the nite but recently she has begun waking up especially on the days
i have to go to work early she wants to play at 2 in the morning it is hard.

I have 2 children, Becca is 2 and Clay is 5 months. Both were/are stickly
breastfed. Throw out your bottles, you don't need them! As long as she is growing
properly, let her have her water from a cup during the day along with her solid foods
( pump once or twice during the day to keep up your milk supply) and nurse her during
the night. You sound like a loving mommy! What are your childrens names? Isn't
breastfeeding the BEST? Love Kelli

The only thing i am determined about at this time is her not being on a
bottle.. I really enjoy our quiality time feeding her when i get home and she is a
valid excuse for not wanting to get out of bed in the morning after feeding she just
looks so comfortable i don't want to move her.I do use the cup that is made by nuk
with a soft nipple but she just pulls on it and the others she uses as long as you
hold it for her. I haven't seen one by gerber yet . I really don't mind if she waits
till three to begin weening because that will just give us mor shared time. How many
children do You have/

Cruz-she will wean herself when she is ready, she could do that at any
time, or wait until she is 3, it varies from child to child. If you are anxious to
wean her, I encourage you to wait until she turns 1, rather then having to start with
formula. There is nothing wrong with a bottle filled with breastmilk and pumping and
sending her with that to daycare/babysitter is fantastic. Good for you! Don't worry
about her getting stuck on the bottle at this point, she is old enough now to
understand when you are there it's breast, when you are not there it's your milk in a
bottle. If you are completley against the bottle still, they do make sippy cups with
a rubber tip (Gerber) in wich you could pour your pumped breastmilk into. She will
not prefer those to you. If you are serious about weaning her now, it should be done
at a very slow pace, let me know and I will help. Love Kelli

Hi Cruz! If you absolutly can, let her breastfeed until she weens
herself. If that seems too much, then atleast wait two more months until she is one
and can have regular cows milk. You are so awesome to try breastfeeding with your
third child! Good for you!! Kelli

That's wonderful! My DD was only BF'd until 3 months and
after I quit she seemed to get sick non stop. I don't know if it is coincidence or
not. The daycare Brenden just started going to has hand food mouth going around and
so far *knock on wood* he has not gotten it. I'm hoping the fact that he is still
BFing will help! Another perk of BFing!! :-)

With thought Briana was going to wean herself at about 11

her sister. Whenever she is sick or teething, she nurses nonstop. Daddy is proud how
fast they get over being sick, we all got the flu, Briana first, but she got over, all
3 boys, and Anabelle never got sick, I was sick too, and dh thinks my antibodies were
in Anabelle that is why she never got it, and sister barely had it. All my kids were
over it in 24-48 hours, where lots of people had it for 4 days. And 2 of my boys had
not been sick in several years before last week. ml
