Hey thanks Ritu....discussing with you people gives me little hope.....now today she is 20 day old...hope she starts latching...i will ping you....need to discuss.

Shweta,just pumping out is not enough. Your baby is too small to form a habit. She will cry initially,but then if you keep trying,she will know that she will only get this breast so she would start settling with it. It would sound harsh but only way to stop bottle feed is to stop bottle feed! With bottle kids get faster flow so they enjoy eating from it. Try giving her formula through katori chammach. She will cry a lot,and even while you will be taking milk in spoon,she will cry as if she has never been fed. But that's how kids are. Ping me,we can discuss,i have gone through a lot of crying too!

Dear all, i am using Philips Avent...thanks Asha...my baby also sleeps for long hours....i try to wake her up every two hour....but she doesn't get up...i pump out my bm thrice in a day which all together makes approx 60 to 70 ml but still she is hungry and needs top feed and too comfortable with bottle feed....i try to bf her but she cries and resist the same....and she poops once in a day ... people say if she gets proper bm she wl.poop once in a three to four days which helps the baby to gain weight....i m too stressed with bf part

Shweta, Sweetheart,i can totally understand what you are going through! Just relax! Initially milk supply is less only. Your body needs cues to make more. How does that happen? Babys suckling helps your body manage milk production,since it's demand and supply game. Try pumping, but you would need to latch on baby as well. You will have to teach ur kid how to latch and suckle. For that,sit in a comfortable position supporting your back,place two pillows on your lap and hold baby cradle position,take aerola and put it in baby's mouth and hold it there till he finishes eating. Your baby might rebel but you have to keep on persisting. Please latch baby every hour if u need to up ur milk supply. Do eat right foods and drink as much fluid as possible. <u>Put</u> cumin in everything you eat. Bottle guard,daliya,oats works wonders. Eat fennel seeds after every meal. Let us know if u still have questions.
