@bobezeh Well, 4 hours is great! Not all babies can survive all night without milk I only mention because after we had cut out everything else, we had good stretches randomly and it took us 2 months to figure out that the donor milk was out 1 factor that affected sleep depending even on what...

@kcollins14 We have been working with a lactation specialist since week 4. My LOs mouth was so small it would’ve likely been harder to diagnose, especially because the pediatric dentist said it was very far back. Our Lactation consultant referred us to the pediatric dentist. The dentist...

@bobezeh It probably isn’t helpful but here’s what happened for us: We had 90 - 120 min increments for months. We dealt with several food allergies or irritants/intoletances (dairy, soy, corn, oats, legumes). I posted at 4 1/2 months and a lot of people said that there was definitely another...

@godsgatekeeper Our LOs latch looks so much better on the pigeon bottle. They resemble the Lansinoh bottles but the nipples are slow flow in comparison I guess.

@godsgatekeeper Thanks! We are still on bottle, trying to introduce the breast in a positive way to get her interested. Someone in this group a month ago or so mentioned their regret was using dr browns bottles because it had their LO sucking like the bottle like a straw. They recommended...

@kcollins14 This sounds exactly like us Our LO had a posterior tongue tie! It’s been revised. My babe is in the 1st percentile at 4 lbs 12 oz though and was never able to take much. She’s 8 1/2 lbs now at 13 weeks and she is generally taking 65 ml - 120 ml a feeding. On a good bottle she...

@chrysanthemum43 Your baby could have an intolerance to these things. When my LO was introduced to formula she started pooping upwards of 7x a day. Mucusy :( turns out she had CMPA with a reaction to milk, corn, soy… Is your LO having excessive gas since starting your friends milk? As far...

@servingnovice Definitely do what your LC told you. Remember: this is a season. Your LO may not great at emptying you right now, but that doesn’t mean it’ll always be that way. Everything takes time and adjustment. Babies need time to build up strength too.

@maintjie Hmm, I am not sure Dairy, soy, eggs, nuts, corn, legumes, gluten, oats We have issues personally througgg breastmilk transfer with dairy, soy, corn, legumes, oats LO gets hives from eggs if they’re not cooked very well and also from peaches.

@aletia Yeah I’d just see about an additional weighted feeding if they can! Your LO might be stronger and taking more in

@aletia That is decent I think. He could just be building strength and learning to suckle which can take time! My LC said you want to see an oz every 5-8 minutes, but my LO is 4 months now (though only 10 lbs) so that could be different for a newborn. The transfer rate of 2ml/minute though isn’t...

@aletia Find a lactation consultant who will do a weighted feeding. He may not be getting much. My LO went undiagnosed with a posterior tongue tie for 6 weeks. We switched to exclusively pumping after my baby at 5 days had dropped from 4 lbs 12 oz to 4 lbs 3 oz.. Turns out she was only...
