Posted: 09-20-05 10:00am

Wow am I tired thanks for my mom thats the only way I get sleep she is a good baby but was fussy all night and they are doing a water meter thing at my apartment today so I have to be gone all day and stay at my moms and man is it hard to sleep in someone elses house. Im glad she is hear but sometimes I wish for a day of being preg so I could sleep1 my husband works 3rd shift so its all on me at night and I have been feeling really bad labor really takes a tole over ur body im still so sore she is a week and 2 days old I think im so tired! Well good luck to all u preg people out there. I won't get to post as much im sooo busy! Is it ok to breast and bottle feed? She won't take the breast but I can pump it. Just wondering? I want to do both. :shock:

Breastfeeding and bottle is okay. My ob always tells me that some breast feeding is better than none. The baby might prefer one over the other tho so just hope she not picky!

Ok

My ob says that is fine as long as you dont mix breast with formula cause that gives them gas.

I breastfed my baby, and bottle fed him forumla and he wasn't one bit fussy. I guess it just depends on the baby. I am glad I did it that way becasue I have some friends who delivered around the same time I did, and are breast feeding still, because there baby's refuse the bottle. Mine got it from day one, so I could go back and forth no problem at all.

Yes breastfeeding and bottle are ok. Congratulations on your new baby girl. Tiredness comes with th teritiory. It'll get better slowly. Tje first 6 weeks is the hardest though, but really after that you should be doing better. Once she hits 3 months and is allowed to have cereal give it to her at night fill up that belly and she will sleep well. But first time with cereal give her a little during the day so you can make sure shes not alergic to it... Just one little tip... Also at about 4 months you can give her jello water to expand her belly for less feeding times but more in the feeding. Still averages the same. Its only about 1 tsp per 8 oz bottle. But make sure to clean out her mouth after the jello water or give her reg water afterwards. Congrats again....

Gassey Baby
Posted: 09-22-05 17:57pm

She has had bad bad gas so we put her on enfamil for gassey and fussy babies she was on enfamil w/ iron I thought maybe the iron was tearing her tummy up I breast fed well pumped b/c she won't take the breast since the first day I have had problems with her latching on so I gave up and when I got my milk I would pump but I read a website that said if you formula fed only breast fed once a day so thats what im doing. I would not mind just pumping but im afraid the whole switch would upset her stomach she is keeping me up all night im so tired my mom said when she gets older she will improve. I never new being a new mommy would be so hard im so tired and I got the postpardum blues not to bad but sometimes I just break down and cry my mom watched her last night so I could sleep. Well she is crying now g2g
