hi ladies!
i have a dilemna. i've been ebf since zaki was born, hes now 20 wks. hes always been a snack eater & a cat napper. iv got to point i feel like hes constantly stuck to me & its getting 2 much. sometimes he feeds every hour & i know its just 4 comfort, during night he rarely sleeps more than 2 hrs at a time. i never gave him bottles of breastmilk or formula because the feeding was going so well & i was happy not having to sterilise or prepare bottles etc, i became lazy lol! i always tried to give him dummy (pacifier) but he has never been interested. im so exhausted now & wanna introduce a little formula...but he wont take a bottle :( iv tried tommee tippee & dr brown,tried at different times of day,tried when hes in different moods, but no he just gets annoyed & takes in alot of air. i dont think its the formula thats the problem,he just doesnt know how to take a bottle.
i know breast feeding is excellent but i feel like it has created some bad habits 4 zaki. hes a boob monster lol! i wish i'd introduced a bottle from an earlier age.
any1 in same situation or any1 have ideas 4 me??
thanx. xxx

I am getting my tubes tied on Friday and am feeling kinda sad about it. I know I have my hands totally full right now and don't need any more kids at this time. (2 year old and 4 month old) I still feel so young, I'm only 27. My husband is 31 and is pushing me to have this procedure done. I know there is no turning back now. My family is telling me not to do it and I am so confused. I feel as if a part of me will be missing. Oh well no more babies for me.

We are leaving for CA tmrw & I need to know If it's better to pack our stroller & car seat in travel bags or just tag them? Hub has "priority" status, but unlike him I'm not convinced that means our stuff won't be thrown about & damaged...what has been your experience?

my girl still has NEVER slept through the night (6+ hours straight). she always wakes up 2+ times to eat! she takes a bath @ 6, eats then is out by 630. she wakes up around 10-1030, 1, 3, 6-630. those 1 & 3 feedings are killing me! she naps a lot in the day, but she needs to or else she's cranky. anyone have suggestions? that 3am feed just came back about 2-3wks ago.

My lo is 12 days old and until a few days ago both my breast were producing around 40 -50 ml per pumping. I have to pump bc she's a late preterm baby... Now all of a sudden my left breast will only produce 25-30 ml at a time. Will it dry up? Should I do something different?

I find myself bringing my dd to bed with me bcoz she's
starting to want more well mostly because I had a bad dream that my mom which passed away couple yrs ago & my aunt who does not even live in this country took her away from me & I was literally slapping & fighting them (out of my character). Anyway my hubby is totally against me doing that but I find it easier so she can stay on the boobs more & maybe in couple days I'll get more if that make since. Should I listen to hubby or is there any other moms out there sleeping with their lo

My lo is 15 weeks. She is so irritable. Dribbling lots and keeps sticking her fingers/fist in her mouth. She doesn't drink as much at each feed so she is wanting to feed more often. All this plus she isn't napping during the day. Makes for a very tiresome day for us both. Do u think she may be teething?
