C finally went down too, and I decided to nap while the baby napped. Feeling better already! </p> <p>Now if the neighbors awful dog wakes her, ill kill him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-kid-wont-stop-eating#post-1071514 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 10:08:56 +0000 lawbee11 1071514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: Oh no! Hope it gets better. I finally just got M down for a nap. My MIL is in town to meet M (she is terrified of flying so it's a miracle that she's here) and she holds M for 5-10 minutes before M starts crying for me...I feel so bad!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-kid-wont-stop-eating#post-1071495 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 09:46:28 +0000 Foodnerd81 1071495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: this morning we have a new schedule. Eat for 30 minutes or so, nap for ten, whine/ fuss / bounce for 10, repeat. Yay. Good thing I have some movies on my dvr. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-kid-wont-stop-eating#post-1071187 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 21:49:39 +0000 lawbee11 1071187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@StbHisMrs: @Foodnerd81: I don't pump every day, but when I do I pump in the morning (when my supply is greatest). For her first morning nursing session (usually between 6 and 7) I nurse her on one side and pump the other. I can usually get 3-4 oz out of that one session alone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-kid-wont-stop-eating#post-1071185 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 21:43:59 +0000 Foodnerd81 1071185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@StbHisMrs: I have the same issue as you. I only pump a couple of times a week, after she goes down for a morning nap. I shower and pump right away so its probably only an hour after her last feeding but I have time to replenish before she wakes up. If she doesn't take a good nap or I'm busy or tired, I just don't do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-kid-wont-stop-eating#post-1071184 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 21:41:51 +0000 StbHisMrs 1071184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11:</p> <p>How/when are you finding the time to pump? That's my frustration, my husband wants me to pump more so that he can help with feedings, but she empties me and then wants to nurse 30 minutes later. When she takes her 2 long naps (mid morning and evening) I'm too busy playing catch up from all the nursing sessions! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-kid-wont-stop-eating#post-1071181 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 21:37:34 +0000 Foodnerd81 1071181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: the not so great part for my nipples is that I actually did pump while she ate it! So i guess her nursing wasnt a full sessiin but i stopped pumping after only ten minutes bc i could see where this was heading. I feel like shields are the wrong size on top of that so my boobies are tired. Glad to hear I'm not the only one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-kid-wont-stop-eating#post-1071167 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 21:21:50 +0000 lawbee11 1071167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: OMG last week I pumped 3 oz in the morning and had DH give it to her before bed so that I could get a break. Not only did she guzzle the entire thing down in about 5 min, but she was still hungry afterwards and I ended up having to nurse her anyways. I was shocked! The only good part is that I didn't have to pump that night to replace the session. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-kid-wont-stop-eating#post-1071118 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 20:38:29 +0000 maybebaby 1071118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never thought I would say this since those weeks were such a struggle in no many ways for me, but I miss them too! They will pass, she will become more efficient and you may want them back! Hard to believe right now, though, I know! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-kid-wont-stop-eating#post-1071103 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 20:28:32 +0000 Foodnerd81 1071103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This child is insatiable! We went out and I'd brought a 3 oz bottle that she barely started, so we gave that to her when we got back. I figured she'd be full enough to chill and relax before bed. Nope. She would not settle so I am feeding her and she is eating like normal. She better sleep well tonight after all this milk! (Some of it is definitely comfort, I know, but still). </p> <p>So yeah... Baby girl is growing for sure. I'll tell when it passes </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-kid-wont-stop-eating#post-1071059 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 19:47:32 +0000 sslm 1071059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally normal!!! It'll pass :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-kid-wont-stop-eating#post-1071057 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 19:45:56 +0000 StbHisMrs 1071057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: Going through the same thing, I can commiserate with you. Last night she was up to eat at 45 after every hour, ugh. It is so difficult to do anything, let alone leave the house! I've grocery shopped at high speed with a screaming baby more times than I care to admit :(<br /> She also is not very fond of the paci. I did succesfully nurse her in my Gemini carrier while we finished up school shopping, AND nobody got flashed!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-kid-wont-stop-eating#post-1070937 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 17:39:49 +0000 sarac 1070937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. 2-3 is just an average, most babies differ from that. Mine was very frequent too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-kid-wont-stop-eating#post-1070932 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 17:34:24 +0000 MamaMoose 1070932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Twine: your story gave me a very much needed laugh! Thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-kid-wont-stop-eating#post-1070639 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 14:40:52 +0000 NovBaby1112 1070639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>totally normal!! My LO was a constant nurser the first 3 or so months! I seriously thought something was wrong or my milk was not filling her- I did so much research on it and drove myself crazy thinking she was going to nurse every 30 mins-1 hour forever! i think she just went through a bunch of back to back growth spurts and she liked to comfort nurse. i spent soooo many days and nights on our couch nursing her, only getting up to pee. I talked to LC's and they said it was totally normal and she was gaining weight like a champ, so I tried to just stop worrying about it. it will pass, trust me! I would say around 4 months or so she started going every 2-3 hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-kid-wont-stop-eating#post-1070623 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 14:29:28 +0000 Mrs. Twine 1070623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: She's 17 months. Her *enthusiasm* is very sweet, but she seems to know just when to use it (loudly. and in public.). I will have to see what I can do on a post. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-kid-wont-stop-eating#post-1070621 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 14:28:20 +0000 Foodnerd81 1070621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: I read that your boobs will also stop being quite so full at this point, even when you have plenty of milk in there. They are just getting more efficient, or so says the Internet. I have a harder time when they are so full that there is not give to latch on to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-kid-wont-stop-eating#post-1070618 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 14:26:46 +0000 Foodnerd81 1070618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Twine: I'd also love a post on nursing in the carrier! And how old is your baby again? That's some impressive verbal skills!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-kid-wont-stop-eating#post-1070531 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 13:41:58 +0000 lawbee11 1070531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Twine: Agree with @mamamoose about a blog post--that would be amazing! And LOL at the stuff she was saying while you were on the phone...so cute &amp; funny! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-kid-wont-stop-eating#post-1070499 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 13:24:41 +0000 mrsjyw 1070499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>also in the 4-6 week camp of cluster feeding... i tihnk it slowly stretched to 2-3 hours in month 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-kid-wont-stop-eating#post-1070493 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 13:23:13 +0000 hilsy85 1070493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: in order to make it work, you need to loosen the straps so that your LO sits lower--it's not going to be the most comfy position for you to wear her like that for long periods of time, but while she's nursing it should be ok! Play around with teh strap length at home just while wearing her, you'll figure it out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-kid-wont-stop-eating#post-1070470 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 13:11:44 +0000 Mrs. Twine 1070470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamamoose; I was just thinking that a post might be a good idea. Buuut... Lita-Lita-Pumpkin-Eater will not cooperate for photos I'm guessing. I might just have to get her into the right positions and let the viewers/readers imagine the nursing part! I don't have an ergo, but maybe I could borrow one, or just link to a good tutorial.</p> <p>And funny side story, but this morning when I was on the phone with Ellie's social worker she wanted to nurse and she totally YELLED, "Nuuuuurse. Sofa, " and then when I got sitting down so she could nurse she said, "Lita love nipples. Nursing. Happy. Love it!" I was slightly mortified. I don't feel embarrassed that she is still nursing, but the graphic verbalization makes my cheeks turn pink in public. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-kid-wont-stop-eating#post-1070453 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 13:05:13 +0000 MamaMoose 1070453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Twine: I want help getting started!! Will you do a blog post on nursing in carriers?! I have a nine month old and people always talk about nursing the ergo and I just do.not.get.it. Her face is way higher than my nipple? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-kid-wont-stop-eating#post-1070442 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 13:02:17 +0000 Mrs. Twine 1070442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: I'm not coordinated AT ALL. You can do it (if you want to). It was life-changing for me! Let me know if you want any help getting started. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-kid-wont-stop-eating#post-1070439 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 13:00:42 +0000 lawbee11 1070439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: It's so hard to get her to latch at night because my boobs are so soft...I feel like there is nothing in there but she just sucks away!</p> <p>@Mrs. Twine: That's awesome. Not sure if I am coordinated enough to pull it off but it's worth a shot!</p> <p>@MsLipGloss: Totally agree about nipple confusion. Sometimes she will cry hysterically and she keeps spitting out the paci so I assume she's hungry. When I offer her the boob she latches on and passes out immediately. So she wasn't hungry, just wanted her mama :) I actually love when that happens! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-kid-wont-stop-eating#post-1070411 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 12:52:44 +0000 MsLipGloss 1070411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: My baby girl was that way too . . . made me totally *guffaw* at the idea of nipple confusion. She absolutely knew which was which and made it very clear from the beginning whether she wanted me or the paci. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-kid-wont-stop-eating#post-1070405 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 12:50:41 +0000 Mrs. Twine 1070405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It is very normal. One thing that really helped me was being able to nurse in a wrap discreetly while we were out and about. It made it possible to do so many things in those early days, from grocery shopping to a day at the zoo. I wore a nursing tank under a regular shirt so that there was no exposed skin, and I was able to walk around and do any other normal activity while nursing at the same time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-kid-wont-stop-eating#post-1070378 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 12:44:17 +0000 heartonastring 1070378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Welcome to a growth spurt! It will pass :) Get comfy and have lots of snacks and water nearby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-kid-wont-stop-eating#post-1070371 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 12:42:30 +0000 Mrsbells 1070371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: My daughter really liked to comfort nurse at that stage </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-kid-wont-stop-eating#post-1070369 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 12:41:34 +0000 mrskc 1070369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This happened to us when DS was 2-4 weeks. I remember it lasting like 10-14 days and I was sooo confused b/c I thought they only lasted at most a week. He was eating every 30 min - 1 hour. Hang in there! It's normal and it will pass. </p>
