A few things off the top of my head:

- Try a bottle w/ a latex nipple. Mine will only take latex nipples.
- You might want to either leave him there longer (5-6 hrs), or not nurse him so close...

Not sure how old your baby is, but when mine would start sleeping longer at night, they would start eating more often during the day.

Not sure which oxo one you mean, Tracie. The "Oxo Tot" one is supposedly too big for the medela bottles, according to the internets. I ended up with a tommy tippee one; we'll see how that goes. I...

I feel as though I've asked this questions before, but for the life of me I can't find the thread.

Does anyone know of a specific (brand/style) bottle brush that will fit the Medela collection...

Just chiming in with my experience.

I am in my mid-30's. It took us 1.5 years to conceive my oldest. The next two were "one-hit wonders"; my first two are 17 mos apart, and #2 and #3 are 21 mos...

How forceful? Does she wretch or gag? Does it happen while she's eating?

This. It's all in how you present it.

I don't have/use a pumping bra, but what I did was lean forward at my desk so that one flange was sort of propped on the edge; then I would hold the other horn with one hand and do breast...

If your baby is healthy, not premature, a good wash with soap and hot water should be fine.

We just did that last night with my 6 week old. Drive on!

Never :gvibes

Have you tried any finger foods? Beans (I used canned because I'm lazy) and lentils are a good source of iron. Other finger foods: bananas, sweet potatoes (baked in strips), dry cereal/puffs, etc. ...

I can't stress enough how little you should argue with these people. Say ONCE "she won't be eating *xyz*", and if they say anything else, change the subject, and if they STILL say something, GET UP...

My oldest got 5oz bottles for a while; not every feeding, but once or twice a day. This was during my heyday of pumping, when I was pumping over 20oz per day; I had it to spare ;) He would get...

Also, how old is your baby? Have your cycles started back? Could you be pregnant? How many times do you pump while at work (give me a range based on your varying schedule)? Have you always had...

So jealous of your hospital that lets you nurse in the OR!!! All 3 of mine been sections as well. #2 was the one I had the most trouble with (weight loss, delay of milk, etc).

Both my babies gained weight really quickly in the first few months, then leveled out. That's the normal pattern for breast fed babies. My son was like 12#12 at 2 mos, but only 18 lbs by 9 mos. ...

Since you are already pumping just once per day, this should go pretty smoothly. I would try to push that morning pumping session to after you've nursed her at lunch. If you get too uncomfortably...

:ita. My daughter did the EXACT same thing for the first few months of her life. Freaky for sure. She eventually quit though. I chalked it up to reflux (though she rarely actually spit up).

The best thing you can do to get your milk to come in in a timely manner is to put the baby to the breast early and often. A delay in milk coming in is most often due to early and unneeded...

My oldest pooped about once a week - huge, orange, pasty explosions of poo.

Have you started solids? What's the consistency of his stool (the one 4-5 days ago). Is he content otherwise? Not...

Could you be pregnant?

:ita

It sucks, but it's true. My first two are 17 mos apart. I had to start supplementing with stored frozen EBM, and then formula, starting when my son was 10 mos (I was about 10 weeks along). ...

1) & 2) Assuming your baby is older (couple of months?), it's okay not to pump in between feedings or at night. Are you working outside the home? Some working mamas might pump extra b/c a mixed...

Is the milk frozen solid or chilled in the fridge?
