How are things going?

How long have you been BF?

Are you bottlefeeding/supplementing/giving solids?

Any probs/concerns?

How are things going? Things are going great. Bella and I have finally gotten in a good groove

How long have you been BF? 2 1/2 months. No signs of stopping any time soon.

Are you bottlefeeding/supplementing/giving solids?we were giving occasional bottles of either BM or formula but all the sudden she will not take a bottle at all.

Any probs/concerns? Not right now. I am going to be going back to work in April though so she will either have to sleep while I am gone or learn to take bottles.

How are things going? alright. I'm hoping I can keep up with it for a few more months but I'm not sure. There are times where I feel too connected with him, if that makes any sence.

How long have you been BF? a month

Are you bottlefeeding/supplementing/giving solids? nope, strictly breastfed

Any probs/concerns? not really

I am sorry. I couldnt BF my oldest and it made me so much more determined with my other three. So keep in mind that just b/c it didnt work out with her, you may still be able to BF future babies!!!

How are things going? Okay

How long have you been BF? 7 1/2 months

So far my longest!

Are you bottlefeeding/supplementing/giving solids? No bottles yet, but she is on cereals and jar food and loves munching on bread

Any probs/concerns? My biggest gripe is that I can't pump. I was able to pump with my first 2, didn't with my 3rd because there wasn't anyone else to need to give him bottle and with CaliAnne, I just can't pump. I'm getting less than an ounce, and I know she's getting more than that nursing.

How are things going?
Things are going well. When she was weighed last week, she was 2wks, and she had gained 12oz. So I am believe that she is getting enough.

How long have you been BF?
I have been BF since she was born, 3wks.

Are you bottlefeeding/supplementing/giving solids?
I am going to start giving her BM in a bottle a couple times a week in case I need to leave her for longer then 3 hrs.

Any probs/concerns?
My only concern is if she is getting enough and if I am making enough. Also I wonder about how much to give her in a bottle. Also trying to get her to stay awake to feed on both sides.

That's right. Ds was given bottles in the NICU because his blood sugar would not go up. Because of that he would not latch on. So I pumped for 9 months and just gave him a bottle. But dd latched on right away and she is doing great.

How are things going? Great!

How long have you been BF? Over 5 months now

Are you bottlefeeding/supplementing/giving solids? She only gets bottles of BM if I am out and she is home with daddy. We tried rice cereal but I don't think it agreed with her belly, so we are back to just the BM

Any probs/concerns? Nope. She has reflux, so that sucks, but she is still gaining ok.
