HELP please!! SOO tired! ANYONE??

What milk is she on?? xxX
 
oh sweetie, big big hugs :hugs: all i can think of is try to sleep when LO sleeps x x x
 
Wow that sucks! If she's got a belly ache anyway, wouldn't it be better to go on BFing?

I dont know, I'm a bit niave and I dont know what it is that is wrong, but I'll tell you that thrush in their mouth isn't THAT bad and is REALLY treatable, Jasper had it and I got it right up into my milk ducts (holy crap, painful and itchy!) but it took only a few days of treatment to clear it right up.


What happens now? Is it possible to start BFing if you've stopped... sorry for being curious, dont answer me if you dont want to, but that seems a bit sad to me if she's still upset on formular (if you want to FF I'm not commenting on that but, its just a bit sad to not BF just because the doctor tells you not to)

What kind of infection was it? If its mastitis you can BF through it, I did and it made the infection go away really quickly and I refused antibiotics because they apparently upset babies tummie, I fed Jasper exclusively on the infected breast and pumped the other - it was too painful to even touch my infected breast, so I couldn't have expressed at all, the only way out was to BF and he was absolutely perfectly fine with it. It took about 3 days to bring down my temperature and make the red mark go away. At the worst of it I couldn't move my arm on the infected side without it hurting all down my side, my boob and even a little across my back! It was awful!

I guess I'm a bit of an advocate for soldiering on with BFing - I could have switched to FF, but honestly, one week of pain was worth securing my milk for the next 12 months!

If not, just ignore me...
 
My LO doesn't get on with Aptimel at all - gives him really bad gas for some reason. Are you willing to try different formula ? We're using Hipp infant milk which seems to suit much better. Or maybe you could try Aptimel Easy Digest - some stores stock it - that might be a bit easier on her tummy?
 
hugs, do you change her nappy before feeding her, i find if i change lucas first then feed him and burp him etc he's much easier to settle, failing that i'd try a different milk - maybe see what the MW or HV recommend
 
Liam and jessica hated aptimel it made them really grouchy and unhappy...in the end i gave them both Hipp organic milk which i think is a real un-sung hero product. Its cheaper than the others, its organic and it doesnt have the horrible nasty taste and smell of other formulas its really like normal milk and its so light on their stomachs. I would give it another week and then try different formula....it is so awful when you just want to go to sleep and they are awake its like chinese torture!!! good luck x
