Baby Supply Information

beckyritchie04 asked:


My son is 7 weeks old and still struggles with latching on at times. I have a hard time getting him to open his mouth wide enough to latch on without hurting me. I have tried waiting for him to open his mouth after I have touched his lip with my ****** but I could wait all day for him to open wide.

I think part of the problem is I have overactive letdown and an oversupply of milk….. so when he does latch on he gets flooded with milk. Because of this he tends to have a shallow latch so he can clamp down when letdown occurs. I have been to see a lactation consultant several times to help with this problem but nothing seems to work. I guess I just have to wait for my milk supply to regulate.

Does anyone have any pointers on ways to get my baby to open his mouth wider? Does anyone have any idea when your milk supply usually regulates?

Thanks for any insight you can offer me.

My baby is two weeks old. I breastfeed during the day plus I pump some extra milk so my husband can feed the baby from the bottle at night. That means about 9 hours break for me. My friend today told me, that this way my milk supply is going to decrease, so I asked another girlfriend and she said that your body will do what you get it used to. So where is the truth, is my milk supply going to decrease or no?
But then how is possible that some women can breastfeed for over a year, although I believe they don’t nurse a year old baby at night…?

Like isn’t it the same thing. I’ve never used baby wipes so wouldn’t know. What are the pros and cons and why do people buy baby wipes?
I didn’t know there were adult wipes what brand are they and whats the difference between using the wipes and wetted tissues?
I meant why do adults buy baby wipes for themselves to use and not a baby.

I figure up to 75%. Many out of necessity and the rest out of desire. Most retirees will want to work at least part time because they need to for basic necessities or they want to for life style enhancement or to serve society in some way. That’s why I don’t believe the projections that there will be a labor shortage when baby boomers retire. There may be a shortage in some areas, but not in most. There probably will be a shortage of part time work that baby boomers would be willing to do.

We are in Australia and have hundreds of phasmid eggs that are just starting to hatch. The adults ate gum leaves, but I know the babies need the tips of new gum leaves. These aren’t easy to access and the baby phasmids are dying. Is there anything else we can feed them, because I’m having trouble getting to the younger leaves of our gum tree supply! Advice from anyone in Australia in particular with baby phasmids greatly appreciated.
I’m looking for information on what to feed BABY phasmids.

I am a new mom. My baby is 3 weeks old. I only pump just for the fact the I’ve never really produced enough milk for her so I pump and supplement with formula so I can somewhat regulate how much she is taking in. Lately, I haven’t been able to pump as much. Everyday it seems I get less and less. I have the best pump, and it works great… I just don’t have the same amount of milk as I used to. Is there something I can do to increase my milk supply?
I haven’t tried to breastfeed her since the hospital… I’m not even sure if she will latch on, she wouldn’t do it well there. The Lactation person there told me to supplement, so I’m not sure how I would even begin to bring her back to ******.
