Nope, she WANTS to breastfeed. The hospital just started her daughter on bottles without asking her preference.

breastfeeding info & resources

1. Is it normal to still be bleeding 2 months after your baby's born? This

is not normal and she should talk to a different doctor. More likely than

not it is because she is trying to do way too much. But she could have a

retained placenta and that would inhibit her milk supply so she needs to be

sure either way. She should get checked.

2. Could this be her period even though it's lasted 2 weeks? Probably not,

probably after birth bleeding that is from some cause.

3. Would her period make the flavor of her milk change so that her daughter

would be less likely to nurse or to want to nurse? That is probably not it

at all. My guess is nipple confusion, being unsatisfied at the breast and

general just not getting it.

4. Should she wait till she stops bleeding to try to get her daughter to

nurse? Absolutely not she will lose her supply. Keep nursing and trying to

nurse, get a lactation aid to use at the breast. Get a double electric pump

to protect her supply, finger or cup feed and lose all bottle and nipples

they are only sabotage at this point.

5. Is there any advice anyone can give me about how to get Robyn to

nurse(she's always trying to push away from the breast)? Get a lactation

aid so she is getting breastmilk readily at the breast without struggle.

Finger feed so that she gets the hang of sucking and drawing the

finger/nipple WAY back into the mouth.

6. Should I tell Angie to start expressing her milk for Robyn and

bottlefeeding it to her? No bottlefeeding!!!! cup or finger feed. See my

website re: finger feeding. Double electric pump to protect supply

7. Or should I tell her to quit with the bottles and just keep trying the

breast until Robyn gets used to it? Quit bottles just cup feeding and keep

at the breast with a lactation aid if possible. If she gets latched on use

breast compression (my website under resources and jack newman articles) to

get more milk to the baby quicker.

I think that's it for now, but if I think of any more questions, I'll be

sure to ask!

Call La Leche League and get a leader to help. If you tell me where you are

I will find one. Get mom and baby in a very clean bath and let baby start

in the water and climb up moms belly to latch on by herself. Babies do very

well this way! Keep up the good work!

Shaa,

NO baby vitamins for an exclusively breastfed baby. To tell if your

grandbaby is getting enough count diapers. There should be at least 6 wet

diapers and at least 4 poopy diapers everyday. If this is happening and the

baby is gaining then everything is just fine. She only produces two ounces

for a pump. A baby works a lot differently. They are much more efficient

at getting milk. She needs to call a Lactation Consultant with these

initials IBCLC or a La Leche League Leader to get some good help with

getting the baby latched. It is important that the latch be good and that

the baby doesn't receive any pacifiers or bottles which will just confuse

the baby at the breast. The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding is a great book to

have and read. As a grandmother you could get a lot out of this book to

help your daughter. You must be such a great and loving grandmother to want

to help with breastfeeding. It is the best thing your daughter can give to

her baby. Keep up the good work and get some really good qualified help and

some good resources.

Pumping is not essential to the breastfeeding process. It is crucial to get

good support and let the baby have unlimited access to the breast.

Re: Please help.

also i dont think the period would change the taste of milk because they

bleed after they have them and that is when they start nursing in the first

place. i think that must be false info.

she should pump herself every few hrs. something my son's girlfriend does

not do. i hear it makes more milk.

No, he should be fed BEFORE he cries when he first starts to wake up, starts

to put his fist in his mouth in his sleep, or does any rooting movements with

his mouth. Or just plain stirs around. Breastfed babies should not go any

longer than 2-3 hours during the day and 5 hours at night (newborns) when

they get older they can go a little longer. Breastfed babies need to be fed

at least 8-12 times per day and some even more ( mine did ) : ) I am glad you

Yes, if the baby cries, he should be offered to nurse/breastfeed. Crying

is a LATE indicator of hunger in a newborn. Crying is a baby's only form

of communication, and since babies are expected to double their birthweight

by 6 months, and triple it by a year, they're going to be hungry, and needs

lots to grow on! Offering to nurse when the baby cries is a way to

continue building the breastmilk supply. By learning the baby's hunger

cues, like rooting, searching for something to suck on, putting the fists

in the mouth, becoming active, etc, are early indicators of hunger. Babies

need lots to eat, and breastmilk does it best since it gives babies

*something* everytime they suck. Pacifiers don't and can interfere with a

breastfed baby's growth cycles. Bottles of formula can cause babies to

become too full, and miss important breastmilk feedings. Cereal can cause

babies' intestines to become sluggish as it works hard to move all that

thick substance through a body that's accustomed to easy-to-digest meals.

4 poopy diapers in 24 hours is a GUIDELINE. Not every baby will be

textbook and have 4 every single day. Some babies will have more, smaller

bowel movements, and others will hold out for a few times a week.

Another GUIDELINE I've heard is that a baby will poop a " mother-sized

palmful " every 24 hours... Some babies that have one poopy diaper every 24

hours have enough poop to not worry about more... others poop just a little

at a time, but in the end, it's enough.

RE: Please help.See answers belowWendihttp://www.lactivist.combreastfeeding info & resources1. Is it normal to still be bleeding 2 months after your baby's born? Thisis not normal and she should talk to a different doctor. More likely thannot it is because she is trying to do way too much. But she could have aretained placenta and that would inhibit her milk supply so she needs to besure either way. She should get checked.2. Could this be her period even though it's lasted 2 weeks? Probably not,probably after birth bleeding that is from some cause.3. Would her period make the flavor of her milk change so that her daughterwould be less likely to nurse or to want to nurse? That is probably not itat all. My guess is nipple confusion, being unsatisfied at the breast andgeneral just not getting it.4. Should she wait till she stops bleeding to try to get her daughter tonurse? Absolutely not she will lose her supply. Keep nursing and trying tonurse, get a lactation aid to use at the breast. Get a double electric pumpto protect her supply, finger or cup feed and lose all bottle and nipplesthey are only sabotage at this point.5. Is there any advice anyone can give me about how to get Robyn tonurse(she's always trying to push away from the breast)? Get a lactationaid so she is getting breastmilk readily at the breast without struggle.Finger feed so that she gets the hang of sucking and drawing thefinger/nipple WAY back into the mouth.6. Should I tell Angie to start expressing her milk for Robyn andbottlefeeding it to her? No bottlefeeding!!!! cup or finger feed. See mywebsite re: finger feeding. Double electric pump to protect supply7. Or should I tell her to quit with the bottles and just keep trying thebreast until Robyn gets used to it? Quit bottles just cup feeding and keepat the breast with a lactation aid if possible.

Should I tell Angie to start expressing her milk for Robyn andbottlefeeding it to her? No bottlefeeding!!!! cup or finger feed. See mywebsite re: finger feeding. Double electric pump to protect supply7. Or should I tell her to quit with the bottles and just keep trying thebreast until Robyn gets used to it? Quit bottles just cup feeding and keepat the breast with a lactation aid if possible. If she gets latched on usebreast compression (my website under resources and jack newman articles) toget more milk to the baby quicker.I think that's it for now, but if I think of any more questions, I'll besure to ask! :)Call La Leche League and get a leader to help. If you tell me where you areI will find one. Get mom and baby in a very clean bath and let baby startin the water and climb up moms belly to latch on by herself. Babies do verywell this way!

Thanks so much. I am going to print these answers all out and give them to her. She wants Robyn to breastfeed so bad. We live in Houston, Tx, BTW, and I would love to know how to get in touch with LLL here, not just for her, but me too, soon!

RE: Please help.See answers belowWendihttp://www.lactivist.combreastfeeding info & resources1. Is it normal to still be bleeding 2 months after your baby's born? Thisis not normal and she should talk to a different doctor. More likely thannot it is because she is trying to do way too much. But she could have aretained placenta and that would inhibit her milk supply so she needs to besure either way. She should get checked.2. Could this be her period even though it's lasted 2 weeks? Probably not,probably after birth bleeding that is from some cause.3. Would her period make the flavor of her milk change so that her daughterwould be less likely to nurse or to want to nurse? That is probably not itat all. My guess is nipple confusion, being unsatisfied at the breast andgeneral just not getting it.4. Should she wait till she stops bleeding to try to get her daughter tonurse? Absolutely not she will lose her supply. Keep nursing and trying tonurse, get a lactation aid to use at the breast. Get a double electric pumpto protect her supply, finger or cup feed and lose all bottle and nipplesthey are only sabotage at this point.5. Is there any advice anyone can give me about how to get Robyn tonurse(she's always trying to push away from the breast)? Get a lactationaid so she is getting breastmilk readily at the breast without struggle.Finger feed so that she gets the hang of sucking and drawing thefinger/nipple WAY back into the mouth.6.

Crying is a late sign of hunger. If he is smacking his lips or sucking his

hand, put him to the breast. He should be eating at least 8-12 times per

day.
