Aargh.... someone help this poor person!!
by kaygeebee Wed Sep 22, 2010 8:02 pm
Someone getting some really bad advice on the pregnancy and parenting forum of www.getwed.com
I know I should butt out but I really really want to reply and I can't 'cos I'm banned (don't ask ......... long story . fallout with the forum owner a long time ago!)
I'm a bit worried my milk may be drying up. This evening when i was feeding Jack tonight after a few minutes of feeding nicely he started fussing and making noises. I winded him and tried again a couple of times, but he kept on fussing. I switched sides and he fed well again for a couple of minutes then fussed again. In the end i gave him half a feed of ebm which he polished off before settling after a bit of a whinge. For those of you who have or are bf-ing does this sound like my milk drying up? Then of course there,s the fact that over 5 weeks he's only put on 7 oz. In the past 3 weeks it's only been 1 oz!

Sorry to say huni but it does sound like its drying up. If hes not been feeding properly for a week or so, you may not have noticed while hes still suckling. Have you tried to express to see what he is getting?
Also with the weigh gain, I had that with Natasha (she was ill though) and I switched to formula and her weight gain went up straight away.
I hope he gets something decent in him soon hun
AAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Someone help the poor girl, and help the poor baby stay BF please!!!!! For info he is between 3 and 4 months old - it's so obviously a growth spurt it's painful :-(
