So I don't trust doctors. Period. I think (in the united states) they are misinformed and ill-prepared to make the best medical decisions, not to mention the problems with the pharmaceutical companies! So I'm due in two weeks, and I am seriously contemplating not telling anyone when it's time for me to give birth, to just hop in the bathtub and call hubby over when the baby is actually COMING coming. It's the middle of the night right now and I am freaking out! I don't want any medical intervention, but I know it will happen if I deliver in the hospital D:<

I started fenugreek yesterday and I think I'm producing even less than before.
My lo won't latch and I've been pumping. I started pumping every 3-4 hours when the baby is taking a bottle or just after. I can usually get at least .5 - 1 oz per side but this morning, there's practically nothing there.
I just got over a breast infection and dumped so much breast milk.
How long does fenugreek take to increase supply?

Everytime I go to make a bottle for my LO, I pour the water to the appropriate amount of oz, then add the powdered formula. For some weird reason it always ends up measuring 1/2 oz - 1 oz more in the bottle after I put the formula in and shake. We use Nutramigen, so it doesn't have any bubbles after mixing. I've always heard to put water first. I'm also making sure I have the right amount of formula. What am I doing wrong?? It's driving me crazy! Lol. Any tips would be greatly appreciated! :)

9 days pp and trying EVERYTHING to boost my supply. I know some women are trying to boost there supply to have extra to store but I'm just trying to make enough to feed my son. I'm still only making 5ml each time I pump even when I don't put him up breast before pumping. I know that I'm not making enough to feed him. It took me a whole day to pump ONE ounce!! So when do you just give up? I want this do bad for my son but maybe my body can't :(.

I have a really colicky baby on my hands. I have been looking at gripe water but there are so many different brands! Any moms have some suggestions for brands they liked that worked???

I feel kind of alone. The c section forum is kinda quiet so thought id ask on here. Has any one had complications from their c section? I'm 8 days pp and today I realized the bottom of my stomach (I'm bigger 280 to be exact) is very hard. Pretty sure I have cellulitis. After I found this out I noticed a really bad smell when I lifted my stomach. I feel so embarrassed :(. Has anyone else had problems? I'm going to call the doctor Monday morning.

Hi everyone.
I get told different things from different people and it would be good to get some advice. When formula feeding, do you make up bottles as you need them, as in 1 when needed? or do you make a few and then store them in the fridge and use within 24 hours?
It is a pain doing 1 each time and doing a batch is easier, but can you do this now? I got told it was okay by some and it was dangerous by others.
Please any advice would be so helpful....as don't want to put Lo in danger, but doing 1 at a time is such a pain!
thanks xx
