I have similar sensitivities to stimulation. And there are many times that I have to end the nursing session sooner than my DS would like. I have to take a break and then come back. It made me...

Hey I noticed you are from Texas. hugs from the lone star state too.

Please check out the link about how to bottle feed a breastfed baby that still.here provided...

Do you do pacifiers or...

I'm not really sure I did it right. I didn't read anything about it really, and the foods I presented were VERY well cooked so they basically fell apart or mushed by looking at them. DS is almost 10...

I think I would overnight mail it the last day your there and pack it using biomedical guidelines. A UPS store or pack'n'mail should be able to help you with this but then you have to get to one and...

I had that problem too. I've had such a roller coaster ride with pumping tbh I don't know what to do either. I really don't think I did things right either so I'm not suggesting you do this...

I didn't worry about the spoon feeding at daycare but did BLS at home (except DH was so not into the mess so he spoon fed... compromise for the sake of love and marriage) anyways, I didn't send foods...

The most common environmental allergies are pets and smoking (even if one of the DCP workers smokes it can cause the LOs to react) Is she exposed to any of this?

My son has really bad congestion...

I'm glad that everyone there has been so helpful and receptive. And I agree that you have done more than help your LO you've probably helped future preemies too. Way to go :cheer

I do not EP but I would pump more when you can only stick to work schedule when at work because if you've already noticed a decline then at some point it will likely get harder to keep the same...

We used it with my LO for about 6wks but I think I could have switched over sooner. I'm glad to hear that things are getting better.

Well the mild doesn't have to be heated unless she just wont take it cool. This makes it a lot easier to bring the bottles with you. Plus a lot of this is trial and error. The thing that I feel...

do some research about the nursing. The sooner you nurse the better for your premie BUT it does depend on his overall health and strength. That is not say that you couldn't nurse 1 or 2 feedings...

I think other means of soothing is a good idea. Baths (since at home and its DH not a care giver) worked very well for my son. Also, going for walks or just sitting out in the yard. Running...

I've never felt letdown except when pumping so you may just not being feeling it anymore ???? I highly doubt it was the oatmeal. That little wouldn't even make a difference in his nursing IMO.
...

She may be tiring out if they are forcing her take more than she needs (volume based)

I hope this helps I have a 9 months old crawling on me so if I don't make sense sorry. just ask questions

The only reason that I can see that they wouldn't let her go would be if you are planning on bottle feeding her once she gets out of the hospital. If you are then it would be a good idea to make...

I remember DS being extremely distracted around this stage. I don't remember it being a big deal other than a pain in the ass. But my mom commented on it every time she was around. More in...

First you are doing fine. Getting into the groove is hard.

8 oz is actually far to much for a 4 week old at one time. I think 2-3oz at once is more like it. Babies like to suck and they will...

In theory this should work BUT not all DCPs will know the first thing about BFing and volume. My DCP is great but it took a lot of convincing on my part that my child was getting enough milk even...

How do you like it otherwise? Is it really 7 lbs? How often do you pump? I'm in the market for a new pump my APY is crapping out slowly but surely and I need to make a decision soon. I apparently...

My DS is 9 mo and I just recently has some flutterings of the emotions you were talking about. It is nice to know that its normal and maybe even just hormonal (still no period for me). I was...

I agree with djs.mom My DS does waaay better for other people than me. He sleeps beautifully in another room in his crib/pack'n'play. although my DH will co-sleep some at night with him.

I like the idea of 3 oz bottles and move up half an oz as needed. But no more than 4 oz. The doc was off about that.

After battling OS I have found that I need to pump the same number of...

Oh yeah I wanted to add to the bag part of the discussion.

I like honeysuckle bags (online only I think) and they have 'food' bags that are smaller and can be used for breast milk too. so less...

Sorry no suggestions. Just wanted to let you know that this was how my DS was/is. It is HIGHLY frustrating. Some days it is just easier to go with the flow than try to fight it.
