BF.... and baby personality

[Freya]

OK..... this is something that has been simmering away in my mind.

I BF most of the time, so Gracie pretty much gets boob whenever she wants and doesn't have to wait for it. When my OH makes up her FF she cant stand to wait and screams the place down. Have BF and I made her an impatient minx because she normally gets what she wants?????

I sometimes feel I dont have an 'easy' baby as mine is the one always screaming the place down as soon as she feels a twinge of hunger.... It had me running off from friends today in the park as I couldn't feed her right away, publicly (wrong clothes, lots of people, getting stress).

I think it is more her personality that she has grown into, as Alexa is not like that. Maybe try letting her scream a few minutes before you give in to feeding her-it is not as if she is starving, so a few minutes would be okay, and may teach her to wait.

Brenn has only recently started fussing at me for food. She just knows what she wants and lets you know about it.

When I was BF my husband would love it as he could rest ..but when we had to make FF at night we would would under pressure so to speak as my "easy" baby was now screaming his lil lungs out ..its normal for them to do that its there wya of saying "hurry mom"

Crying also stimultes the let down reflex.

Poppy gets like this too! My Nanna always says, "let her wait a while. She won't perish!" Wise words maybe?
