Name: vp Hi,
how r u doing everyone? well most of them with their babies n somebody expecting..first of all my baby didn't latch properly becoz she was in the special care for 3 days as she swallowed amniotic fluid..first they introduced formula unable to get breast milk..after came back at home i tried to suck my breast..first few days she didn't suck and started to cry..i was suffering a lot in first 2 weeks..also i didn't get enough milk in my breast.but i tried everyday. after 2 weeks she started to latch..but i'm getting pain in the nipples..she is not taking whole aerola part..my milk supply is ok..not great..i'm giving her formula once or twice a day..especially give her formula in the night time..i'm getting very tired in the night unable to get up becoz i'm taking care of my baby alone only without any help except my hubby..my parents unable to come due to visa issues..my hubby also very tired in the night..we r managing ourself..but day by day its very difficult to manage..my baby is not sleeping properly in the night time..if we give her milk at 4a.m afterthat she goes back to sleep by around 6 or 7a.m..night time she started to cry eventhough she drank milk..we couldn't able to sleep in the night time..she is throwing up n spitting up lot..yester she was not sleeping a whole day time..she was crying all the day..today only she is ok..she is getting rumblling sound for 3 days in her tummy befor poop..she cries a lot in the night n feel discomfort..does anybody facing the same problem..i'm eating fish ,mutton,milk for milk supply..

Hi vp

Its good to kn that ur baby is gaining good weight.. so he is getting enuf milk..

i went to ped today and my baby has gained weight.. birth weight 6 pounds 10 oz in the 1st wk it was arnd 6p 4oz and maintained the same weight for 2 wks.. today it is arnd 7p 12oz... but still i am very confused whether it is coz of my BM or the formula which i give once a wk...

i have asked my inlaw to be here soon.. my hubby cooks and takes care of us in the night.. day time is a big nightmare.. but still managing...

i am a veggie.. trying to eat garlic and methi seeds.. have asked my MIL to bring some methi powder and garlic powder for increasing the milk supply..

hope to get proper support soon.. where r u put up in the USA...

take care and good luck in BF

Prayers
Suki

hi suki!!

Good to know that ur baby is gaining weight..so why r u worrying about so much? u said u give him formula oncce a week..so why r u worrying about so much about breastfeed? looks like u r alone with baby during the day time..
i live in nj..
take care

me again

have u checked the baby weight.. is he gaining a lot and reducing..

if gaining he takes your milk as well as formula..

if thats the case dont worry.. u r supplementing formula and not completely relying on it.. one way it will increase ur baby weight and most formulas have lota iron content which is healthy for the baby..

good luck

Hi VP

Hi Vp,

I am also facing the same problem at night time.. i too dont have any support and v feel very disturbed at night time.. that too my baby starts to cry around 3am and till 5am he is not sleeping..

though i try to breastfeed he is not satisfied after sucking for 30-40mins and starts crying.. at that time i try to give him formula and make him sleep...

try to burp before putting him in bed.. that might reduce the pooping... it is not a bad thing too.. its a good sign that baby drinks milk excessively....

dont worry things will get better soon.. keep up ur spirits..

Prayers,
Suki

Dear suki,
we went to see the ped in her first week end..that time her weight was 6 pound 2ozs( birth weight was 6pound 6 ozs)..after 2 weeks she weighted 7 pound 2 ozs..did u visit the ped? whats ur baby's weight? we both r in the same boat without any support..this is very frustrating..so do u cook everyday? how r u managing? first 3 weeks my friends brought the food..afterthat me n my hubby started to cook together..
do u eat non-veg? if so eat fish,mutton,shrimp..it will increase the milk supply..also eat methi leaves n spinach lot..
how do u mangage to take care of baby during the day time..ur hubby is along with u in the daytime? her i'm only manage to take care of baby in the dat time..thatswhy i'm getting very tired n getting back pain after evening..i' don't want to do any work..
how many times give him formula in a day? don't give up breastmilk, try it as much as possible..its going to be well soon..
keep posting
VP
