Re: did you guys get this one? More on Paige's Doctor visit

[Guest guest]

Jenn,

Do you have The Baby Book by Sears & Sears. It is such a great book and

talks a lot about nighttime parenting. I don't let my babies cry it out.

Zaid slept through the night from birth until about 4 months and then

started waking every 2 hours. All babies are different and they will let

you know what they want. My daughter didn't sleep through the night until

about 3 years old. Trust yourself

Wendi

did you guys get this one? More on Paige's Doctor

visit

I set up my email to mail 3 groups at once and i think i accidently set it

wrong. did you guys get this message from me. If so sorry:) Jenn

Jenn,

My daughter Tea is now 7 months old. We still wake up 2-3 times a

night to feed. She sleeps with me. If she wakes I just give her a

little nipple and she is back to sleep. I have never let her just

cry. She is a very happy baby and she eats whenever she wants. You are

doing a great job with your baby. Sometimes doctors do not know best.

Mommies know best. You are her mommie and you know what she needs.

You stick to that.

Thank goodness that today we have the gumption to trust our own judgment

and not follow blindly into what the Dr says is THE WAY to do it right!!

Mom mom tell me that she ended bf my older sister when her Dr told her that

she (the older sister) was allergic to her brestmilk. Can you believe

this?? Is that even possible? My dh mom said that she didn't bf cause her

Dr told her that her breasts were too small to make enough milk--then

proceeded to tell her to bottel feed with powdered milk!! --Ugg. My Dr told

me to suppliment with formula with my first child--due to some jaundice at

first--I then proceeded to change Dr. HAA--I have that power and will

exercise it freely for the betterment of my kids!!!Joy

I also have the Discipline book by the same couple very good as well. I don't

schedule feed. I still feed on demand and Zaid is 16 months. He is on a

schedule but of his own making. I love sleeping with my kids. I also can't let

them cry. It is still hard with my dd at 7yo. I don't let her cry alone. She

needs to cry sometimes but I stay with her so if she needs comfort. I don't

like to cry alone as an adult. I do it but it is always nice to get a hug. I

am available to my children I don't think anything is wrong with that. My main

parenting advice is trust yourself. No one knows your baby better. As for the

let down. I don't know but don't worry if your baby is healthy. It bothers me

sometimes so I wouldn't miss feeling it.

I have this book and think it is great. I love the idea about atached

parenting.

when I was in California friends gave me another parenting book that is the

total oppisite of the thing Dr. Sears teaches. It tells to schedule feed and

not to let baby fall asleep at the breast and to let the baby cry it out. It

says sleeping with baby has no benifits. I was very disapointed to learn my

friends used this method. I just thanked them for the book and took it, even

read most of it to try to keep an open mind, but it really is telling me to

go againsted my natural instint.

How do the rest of you feel about schedule feed ing baby. When I was at the

friends house and was feeding baby I said something about how you never know

how long she will go before she wants to eat again and I got a very shocked

" you don't believe in schedule feeding? " also the wife told me, after I told

her that I don't feel a " let down " that if I schedule feed that I will feel

it and that schedule feeding is better for the mother.

What is everyones oppinion on this? Also about the let down, why do you

think that I don't feel it? Baby is growing fine and has plenty of wet

diapers.

Your last sentence says it all! As long as your baby is growing fine & has the

output all is well. It is very normal not to feel your let downs. I never

did/do. The more I talk to people about it, I no I am not the only one.

The book you are referring to is Baby Wise. Also none as the Ezzo Method. This

can lead to many complications in a breast feed baby. Quite a few babies on

this strict schedule have been labeled " failure to thrive. " Personally, just

like you, it does not feel right. Crying is the only way a baby can

communicate. Letting them cry is not in my book. Putting them on a feeding

schedule is ridiculous. I eat when I am hungry, not on any set schedule. Same

with my kids. For me this method of parenting is ludicrous. It is not an easy

way of parenting, it sounds much harder. IMHO.

I don't feel a let-down, never have. I do on rare occassions feel the milk

come forward filling the ducts but that doesn't mean it starts flowing. For

me the biggest clue is the baby going from passive nursing to gulping. Even

when quantity gulping stops milk is still given throughout the nursing

session. Not sure? take the baby off the breast and try to squeeze a drop

or two out. You might also need to put the baby to the other breast and get

a letdown and then squeeze the first nipple to see if there is milk. If

there isn't any, especially after the let down on the second side try

drinking more water, resting more etc.

When Tea was about 5 months old I stopped feeling the letdown. I just

started drinking the mothers milk tea. Now I feel it again. I have no

idea why that is. I would not worry about feeling it as long as your

baby is doing well don't worry.

When Tea was about 5 months old I stopped feeling the letdown. I just

started drinking the mothers milk tea. Now I feel it again. I have no

idea why that is. I would not worry about feeling it as long as your

baby is doing well don't worry.

I have a question... what exactly is attached parenting? I have heard lots of

you talk about it and I have never heard of it before.

Also, ... I hardly ever feel let-down either. But sometimes I wonder

if it is because your breasts don't get totally empty when the baby nurses on

them. I wouldn't really worry about it though.. it seems like there are a lot

of people who don't feel the let-down.

Kristi,

Attachment parenting is a style of parenting that was made popular by &

Sears. He is a doc and she is a nurse. They have 8 kids. The basic

philosophy is staying attached to your child by breastfeeding, sleeping

together, wearing your baby in a sling or carrier, and responding to their

needs. Not letting them cry it out. Feeding them on demand, when they are

hungry. Just being connected with your child. They have a book called the Baby

Book. It is my bible. I just got another book of theirs called the Discipline

Book and it is great. Has a lot of stuff about how to avoid trouble with

toddlers. It is just a continuation of the same parenting style of the other

book, but goes farther on in age. I think that my kids have really benefited

from this style of parenting. I also homeschool. Just couldn't send my babies

off. I think being a single mother and having to work that this style of

parenting could really benefit you. It would make it easier for your baby to

deal with you leaving and for you too. It sounds like you already are

practicing a lot of this style.
