omg thats exactly what she does!!
but then if i give her formula (which i did) she had that....

What happens if you give her a pacifier?

 

[Angelica]

pacifier? sorry to sound dumb but u mean a dummy right?
sometimes she'll take that other times not...

Have you tried giving her your pinkie? Kaya used to settle if she could suck on my pinkie, she did grow out of it though.

 

[Angelica]

really?? but doesnt that mean that the babys hungry & we are 'fobbing' them off?

 

[Holldoll]

Not necessarily. Babies need to suck. It's comfort to them. Bella never would take a pacifier, aka dummy, and would NOT take it! I used me finger or sometimes I could give her her hand. Now that she can get her hand to her mouth herself it's almost always in it.

Kaya was just a very sucky baby, she sucked for comfort as well as food (she still does when she's teething). I found that if she really was hungry she wouldn't be happy sucking on my finger, but often it would be all she needed.

ok i will bear that in mnd...
feel a tiny bit better today (dont want to spk too soon though)

LO had a bf onlythis morning at 9am & at 12.30 she had a bf & then only needed a 2oz formula top up..

I really hope things will get better now...

 

[Holldoll]
