Weaning

[usfret]

Bottle (expresssed milk) 4 oz x 2 times and direct nursing around 6 times. Basically he nurses every 3 hours. I pump 3x a day. Morning, noon and evening.

As for the spoons, I got the Pigeon brand weaning spoons. They are spsd to be ideal for the first solids.

same as mine, my baby had milk every 3 hrs.

well, mother's milk tea helped my milk supply when i thought i was low. so you can try that (can be purchased at mothercare, bumps to babes). you just drink according to instructions. and are you getting enough rest? cos a lack of rest also lower milk production, i find. & stress is also a milk buster.

I'll try the mother's milk tea. I really am getting worried now coz amount of pumped milk is still really low...Don't know if baby gets enough when he feeds directly. He doesn't seem hungry atleast and he comes off the breast on his own.

Also, thanks for Dr Bradshaw's contacts. He said the baby is really healthy and he couldn't quite figure why the cold had hung on for so long. But he did give us some medication to help clear the congestion. Am so relieved it's nothing serious.

Thanks again.
