Hi all,

Hope all litlle ones are doing great. A lot of questions in mind, if you all could share that would be really good.

Anybody started supplenting? If so how any feeds per day? When and how many ounces?I havent strted yet planning to start. My daughter is 10 weeks old.
How many hours your babies are sleeping in daytime? Mine sleeps not more than 3 hours..She keeps me busy all the time.She does not play alone. I have to sit with her.Especially in the evenings she is just bored of evrything. What do you all do to entertain babies?
Anybody taking any supplements for increeasing milk production? My baby's dr told me to take fenugreek capsule a nd mothers milk tea to because of exclusive pumping..But not yet started.What about prenatals and calcium supplements? How long are you planning to take?
Anybody use swing for baby? my baby sleps in her swing most of the daytime? is that ok?
How often are you feeding now a days? I feed her every 3 hrs in daytime. At night she sleeps 4-5hrs.
Have you all lost your preganacy weight? I have gained 45 pounds during pregnancy and already lost 40 pounds..Everybody says I am losing weight too fast and I should not...Is it so? May be because of my strict diet(no dairy, nuts, soya etc..ever since my milk came in)

What are the activiyes your little ones are doing? Mine smiles and coos a lot. She sarted sucking her fist too...Have they started rolling and lifting head?

Love to your cuties
Thanks,

I hope the following helps...

Well Tia cat naps during the daytime..maximum for 20 mins..I put her in her stroller & let her see me while I do my work..from the bathroom to while eating...& when I'm cooking I lay her on the floor,put some board books around her(standing)..wrap the end of the string of a Helium filled balloon & while she kicks it she watches the balloon bob up & down & shrieks in delight..& the books are all around her ..so wherever she turns she has something to see..
if she still whimpers,,she is on the bouncer..but basically she can keep herself entertained..
she has started sucking on her thumb but I seriously hope its only a phase & will go away...
I want to supplement her but you know her issue w/the bottle..so no luck..
I'm continuing my prenatal vitamins..I plan to take them till I nurse Tia .
I'm not sure about sleeping for a long time in the swing..If I see that Tia has gone off to sleep in the stroller/bouncer,I pick her up & put her on the floor/crib.
Tia is 3 months 2 weeks old & she lifts her head nicely tho' still bobs them(not total control yet),does mini push ups when on her tummy & can almost lift up till her chin,tries to turn over when she is w/out clothes..
I haven't checked my wt.,but I'm pretty sure I haven't lost much since I can't still fit into my prepregnancy pants/even shirts !!!
Tia too feeds every 3-3 1/2 hrs sometimes even 2 1/2 hrs
Hope all this info helps..
take care..btw what is your baby's name ?
love

I will try to answer a few of your questions.
Why are you planning to start supplementing now if your lil one is getting enough milk? Is she hungry or something like that? Here doctors advice exclusive feed for 4 months atleast if the baby's weight gain is proper.

My son sleeps most of the time in the day only. He will be will awake in the evenings and late nights and will play by humself. Anyway my mom and dad are here, so he gets enough entertainment. He gets cranky after 12 midnight and finally sleeps by 3. Sometimes its very tiring.

Not to worry, she can sleep in the swing during day time, put her next to you in the night otherwise she will get too used to the swing and it will be dificult to wean.

I am not taking any supplements... even the prenatal ones due to rishi's scfn. Not even taking iron capsule as i am constipated.
I am taking garlic, mother's horlicks and oats for milk production.'
I was surprised to see how soon you have lost weight. I donno if its ok but I am scared to check my weight too. Tummy is bad and am sure I have not lost much weight.

Rishi smiles and responds when we tralk and he coos a lot. He has also learnt to put his fist inside. He rolls from this side to that side and rties a lot to roll over and am eagerly watching when thats gonna happen:-)

Love to your daughter.
