Questions on breast feeding...

[Guest guest]

My daughter is asking me questions about vaccines and also commenting

on the things she eats and how they seem to make her 3 month old baby

fussy.She is nursing. She also says she does not have enough

milk....and has tried

supplementing with regular formula with not so good results....

Can the infant formula formula on 159 of BTVC be used for a 3 month

old just

to supplement. I think the child may have hypermotility and definitly

gas and is colicky.

She (my daughter has postphoned the vaccinations (third round) and is

looking for a doctor that will give them separately instead of the

combos, and 4 or 5 in one day. ( and I thank you for all the

information and suggestions that you all have passed along...regarding

this matter)I have relayed them to her....They want the vaccines to be

given because they do travel world wide...I don't want them to

because my

son her brother went down hill fast after his vaccines 30 years ago.

advice.please pass along to me and I will relay to her.

Feel free to pass this along to your daughter...

First make sure that you are actually not making enough milk. Many moms think

this, but they either are making enough or they are using gadgets such as

pacifiers, bottles, or not offering the breast enough which is reducing their

milk supply. Check out this article...

http://www.kellymom.com/bf/supply/low-supply.html

If you are truly not able to make enough milk and you use formula in a bottle,

you then make less milk. Supplementing with formula in this way leads to

weaning to formula very quickly.

The correct way to build up a low milk supply or supplement one that is truly

low (such as when a mother nurses an adopted baby) is by using a SNS. Here is a

description http://www.medela.com/NewFiles/pdfs/SNS_Ins_3-langIns.pdf If you

look at the picture, you can see the baby receives all supplemented formula at

the breast along with breast milk. This way the breasts are being stimulated to

make more milk while the formula is being dispensed. My midwive adopted her

first child and used a SNS for the baby's first 6 months to feed the baby

decreasing amounts of formula while she built up her own milk supply by having

the baby nurse at her breast (many people don't realize this, but a woman who

has never been pregnant can build up a milk supply & nurse a baby). Once the

baby was on solids, she stopped the formula and continued to nurse her baby for

2 more years. I also know women who have used a SNS for low milk supply

resulting from previous breast surgery. You can

use a SNS short-term or long-term if needed.

Galactagogues can also be used to increase milk
