Let me know what is working for you ladies :) going on day 4 and no poop :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeedingsleepingfussy-issues#post-311600 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 15:05:28 +0000 pregnantbee 311600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG, same here! My LO is 13w and has never had great overnight sleep. We had been getting better - maybe 7hrs then 3, but now he's up every 3 and then for good around 6:30a. He was up at 3a this morning and never really went back to sleep. He cries at the end of each side I'm feeding, and I'm so frustrated. He's been pooping fairly regularly, though, but he grunts like crazy sometimes like he's having trouble getting it out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeedingsleepingfussy-issues#post-311566 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 14:40:23 +0000 Mrs. Bee 311566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>do bicycle legs with her to get things moving. add some prune juice to her bottle. constipation is really uncomfortable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeedingsleepingfussy-issues#post-311517 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 14:11:12 +0000 mrs. wagon 311517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe it's something in the air-- lil miss wagon is EXACTLY like this for the past 2-3 days too!! Sooooo fussy when eating, sleeping only 3 or so hours at a time at night. So inconsistent. She was taking 3-4 hour naps last week, and today has been 2 hrs, 1/2 hr, 1/2 hr, and in the middle of a 1 hr nap so far right now. Between fussing at the breast AND bottle I have no idea how much or when she's eating. She usually poops several times a day but didn't poop for a good 12-24 hours at one point. She's pooping again now but still so fussy. Whta the heck! (she's 9 weeks) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeedingsleepingfussy-issues#post-311487 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 13:55:01 +0000 Lindsay05 311487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awesome! See LO is happy except when eating. Was it the same for you? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeedingsleepingfussy-issues#post-311462 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 13:43:18 +0000 matador84 311462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes...so happy today he hasn't slept much--just looks around happily...maybe lots of sleep tonight :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeedingsleepingfussy-issues#post-311458 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 13:41:25 +0000 Lindsay05 311458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lydg: hmmmmm interesting! Did it help with fussiness? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeedingsleepingfussy-issues#post-311323 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 12:27:45 +0000 matador84 311323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was at the doctor yesterday having the saw issue with LO. The said to try and take a rectal temp because it can get things going. Guess who had a HUGE dirty diaper not too long after they did this... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeedingsleepingfussy-issues#post-311291 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 12:11:11 +0000 Lindsay05 311291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have tried gripe water and ovol drops. They have helped her with gas thats for sure. Its good to know im not the only one to go through this! I just fed her and she fussed at the end of each boob. I tried pumping after she finished and i could only pump out enough to just barely cover the bottom of the bottle. Maybe shes not getting enough milk?! Is it to young to introduce rice cereal with milk? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeedingsleepingfussy-issues#post-311240 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 11:38:23 +0000 mediagirl 311240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, my daughter is like this. She gets on the boob and 5 minutes later, starts fussing. I will usually switch boobs at that point and give her the other. She is most happy when milk is continuously dripping. I will flip her back to the other one as soon as she gets fussy on the other side. She does fine on the bottle. She doesn't have this problem nursing at night. I know it's a belly or reflux issue so we just work through it. If she still screams after nursing, I will offer her a bottle of a few ounces. Sometimes she will drink it, sometimes she has gotten enough from me. </p> <p>I don't have any good answers, I just am there with you and feel your pain (and hers)!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeedingsleepingfussy-issues#post-311223 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 11:26:13 +0000 Mrsbells 311223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always recommend gripe water for tummy issues. My LO would cry and scream when feeding her when her tummy was constipated, now that I give her gripe water she is happy and pooping regularly </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeedingsleepingfussy-issues#post-311215 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 11:19:47 +0000 T.H.O.U. 311215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Girl, sounds like shes constipated!! My LO will fuss at food and then have a huge BM and it always makes sense why she wouldn't eat, her belly is full! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeedingsleepingfussy-issues#post-311202 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 11:11:52 +0000 Lindsay05 311202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok bees. I need your help and expertise! My LO is going on 14 weeks. She hasnt pooped in 3 going on 4 days. She normally poops 3-4x a day. She is a farting machine. Shes generally happy except when feeding. Its a complete nightmare! She will eat for about 5 minutes and the go into a complete flail and start screaming. I will try burping and then switching sides. Sometimes she will calmly eat but most times she instantly cries and screams. I was trying pumping through the day to give her a bottle at night just dor extra food to get her to sleep longer during the night. I thought maybe she was getting 'spoiled' from the bottle so I stopped but this is still going on days and days after. Im so tired of this behaviour! I should add that a couple weeks ago she was sleeping routinely 10-5 during the night. Now she sleeps 10-3 and sometimes was up at 130. Im considering pumping bottles for the day and still nursing at night but am afraid this will ruin her breastfeeding altogether. Please tell me this is a phase and it will return to normal soon! I also should add that she drool A LOT and has done so for at least a month now and maybe she is teething and its hurting to suck. I dont know. I have exhausted myself on Dr.Google and driving myself crazy! </p> <p>Thanks bees :) </p>
