I will say that I had "easy" success stopping nursing to sleep with both of mine, but it was at 20 months with Lilah and 22 months with Trixie. Much easier with Trixie than Lilah. Daddy took over...

Will she fall asleep in the car? I wonder if you could drive around when she starts getting tired and then sit in the car while she naps?

Are you planning on nursing her to sleep and then...

Lilah started sleeping through the night somewhere around 2, although we did night-wean her. Trixie will be two in three weeks (:yikes) and she does not sleep through the night. She has started...

You know, she may have nursed all of her babies, but I bet she didn't bottle feed any of them. Also, she was used to being able to nurse her babies at any time to comfort them. Has she taken care...

My experience with ear infections has been that they started nursing well again as soon as they started the antibiotics. Sorry mama!

I'm sorry you're feeling so stressed out about all of this! I wonder if you could try another visit with a different lactation consultant? Or maybe call up your local La Leche League Leader? I...

So, are you saying that between 9 weeks, 9 lb, 12 oz to 18 weeks, 11lb, 4 oz she did not get any supplements? So she gained 24 ounces in 9 weeks (16 ounces/lb)? About 2.7 ounces per week? Do I...

It also sounds like your supply is pretty good - you're getting an ounce per hour. Maybe you could just bite the bullet, dump ALL bottle/SNS supplements and switch to breastfeeding only. You might...

How much total are you giving her in formula and pumped breastmilk right now? It sounds like you have been sabotaged at every turn by lactation consultants and doctors telling you to give formula...

She might be holding onto her pee. I've had my girls wake up and have a dry diaper and then have a much heavier one a little bit later in the morning.

Does she still have a fever? Also, just...

As long as you're following your instincts, you're doing the right thing Mama. :)

It sounds like what you did was fine. He needs to learn that hitting doesn't get him what he wants. I'm not sure that he wanted to nurse "for the heck of it", probably for comfort. Do you only...

It's probably because of the food program. I would get your doctor to write a note saying that your child is only supposed to be fed 4 ounces at most at a time.

I would personally just nurse however and wherever you feel comfortable. It is not your problem if someone else is uncomfortable - it is their problem.

I imagine that the RS 14:106 must be public indecency or something like that. The only...

Maybe you should browse around in the sleep forum. Read the sleep rambles thread. I think you'll find exactly the same thing you're going through in there.

I would probably try the doctor as...

Have you tried the oxo one?

I don't think you have a low supply. She's getting enough to eat. You're not supplementing her with formula are you? What do you do when she refuses to nurse? Just try again later?

:ita

I cosleep, which helps. :gvibes

Why don't you think she needs it nutritionally? I disagree with that assessment. I like nursing my toddler partially because then I don't worry about what she does or doesn't eat. She's 22 months...

How much are you expecting him to drink at a time? I think that maybe that's where your perception is a little skewed. 1.5 to 3.5 ounces per feeding is very normal. Nursing several times overnight...

Molars!!

What is your goal for nursing? Personally, at 15 months I'm still an on-demand nurser. :shrug I would try not to say no, but "first let's do x,y,z and then we can nurse." She may be...

You're going to have to pump 8 to 10 times a day.

Can you postpone the trip another 6 months? I understand wanting to do it for the anniversary, but can you postpone it to your 5 1/2 yr...

Can I ask why you thought your milk needed a boost? It sounds like you were already supplementing about half of her needs with formula when you left? Is there some reason you were doing that?
