Help Me Sleep

Hi J.,
I feel for you. At night I would only feed my daughter formula(I breastfed all day long). Have you tried to up her formula to 6 oz? It took about 3 months for our daughter to sleep more than 2 hours at a time. If you feel comfortable sleeping with the baby and feel you will not roll on her, it might be easier on you to nurse her that way. We moved our daughter into our bed and she will nurse during the night as needed and I don't have to wake fully to feed her. Hang in there!!!! You'll get through this!!

I know how your feeling! What helped me was I cooked the milk with a little bit of oatmeal and then strained it. Or put in a bit of babycereal flakes. It thickens up the milk and is healthy. Just don't use too much or your baby will be a mini marshmellow man, lol. Good luck!

J.,
WOW! You are very brave to take on breast feeding and working so early after the birth of baby 3. I did a lot of my sleeping in the chair/rocker. It was comfortable enough that I could sleep and I didn't fear so much that I would roll over and squish baby if I fell asleep. But...I took 6 months off. All I can say is that it won't last forever =) I don't have much helpful advice, but wanted to be sure to tell you what a good job you are doing.

I co-sleep.
I'm just too lazy to get out of bed.

And no, I do not worry about squishing him.

Hi. When my first daughter ws born she has that problem also. She was hungry all the time it seemed. What I did was to put a little cereal in her formula and boy did it help and I only needed to do it at the night feeding. If you want to try that talk to your doctor first.
