wow i bet it was bliss!! I was always told its absolutely fine! he will wake and tell you if hes hungry. he is obviously getting enough callories through the day to be able to go longer at night. well done sounds like you've got a good little sleeper there :D as long as hes gaining weight...

i am so touched by your replies it really helps that i have support here because everyone else in the world wants me to put him on formula. I've been so touched by all the replies, the last 3 made me feel really good about myself as well. booby :D xx

one thing i've learnt as a parent is never listen to the word "should" your baby it different to any other baby anywhere in the world. If shes happy and healthy at 40ml then no probs. On the formula box it says 0-2months approx 90 mls (3oz) per feed. but what are we supposed to do force it down...

well all the advice and links have been fantastic thank you, i never expected such a response to yet another problem i was moaning about. really thank you. Well i am going to go to a breastfeeding cafe and see a specialist. Im going to stick with breastfeeding because its what I want to do...

thanks Beanie. Do you enjoy breast feeding? i really want to be able to and it upsets me that such a wonderfull amazing thing is beggining to feel like a chore. i know that sound terrible but im so tired and feel so poorly. he gets so upset and fussy when feeding and its just so damn hard. i...

thank you all for your advice and support. i think i will see a proffessional expert in breast feeding and see if they can help but how do i go about it? and whats the best option, a specialist, breast feeding cafe, la leche league (not sure what that is, will have a look at the link in a min...

oh thats good such a relief when its over isnt it. Dylan was like that, just keep an eye on his temperature tonight :)

basically Dylan has colic and screams between 6 and 12 nearly every night. the only thing he seems to want is the boob. hes not just comfort sucking though i know he is actually taking the milk. he can feed for hours on end though which is difficult when im tired its also making me feel quite...

bless her she doesnt sound very well at all id try and gett her to the doctors if you can. the advice i was given is if u cant control her temperature get her seen xx

i made sureDylan had a good long feed before going for his jabs so that he wouldnt be hungry, however, in the 15 mins they kkeep you afterwards i let him comfort suck to soothe him a bit. i knew he wasnt hungry so after 5 mins he'd had enough to make him feel a bit better. ask your doctors im...

Dylans also terrible for this, i kept him in scratch mits because i daren't cut them. but last week as i was feedingghim and he was quite still i was able to just eel them off could you do that whilst giving him a bottle? or get OH to if you havnt got a hand free. i find it so much easier to do...

i brought this on myself im so mad. Dylans been feeding for hours on end every evening and last night i was so tired and so drained that i gave him formula. through the night i felt uncomfortably full and my boob just got more and more painfull as the night progressed. i woke up this morning...

:shock: :shock: WOW! everyones already answered but just thought id say WOW!! Can i borrow him to teach Dylan a thing or 2? :lol:

never drank much anyway but stopped smoking as soon as i discovered i was (unexpectedly) pregnant at 8 weeks. no probs when a happy Dylan was born 7 months later. i smoked about 20 a day and still not had one since :D best thing i could have done.

thanks for the replies. he finally went to sleep after having 6oz of formula :oops: :( he simply wouldnt come off te breast. i wouldnt make a habbit of this but i was just so exhausted and feeding that much had made me feel quite weak and dizzy. but after feeding for hours on me how could he...

im trying to work out whats wrong with dylan at the minute. he screams between 6 and 12 every night. its a very distresseed cry. iv done a lot of research about colic and it says baby will search for the nipple have a few sucks and then come off realising its not what they want. this is not...

i really want to continue breastfeeding :cry: :cry: :cry: but i want whats best for him first. i will discuss this with the doctor next time i see him then. its not particularly about the milk i love the time we get together and its probably a bit silly but i like how dependent he is on ME...
