Eliza,
I am not a professional or have any training so I
am only going by my personal experience. My first baby did a similar thing
at 5 months and due to no support, and breasts that just always felt
'empty', I put him on the bottle which broke my heart. I suffered
really badly emotionally and physically due to engorgement. With my
second, he did the same thing at 6 months. I decided to keep breast
feeding but also introduce some very small EBM and that rice cereal shit
(opps! shouldn't say that) after a feed -usually the 10am feed. He
was teething and growing very fast and this seemed to make him happy. I
continued to feed without problems but still had that empty feeling. I
increased my water intake and got more rest and things got better.
Shock horror, my third did the same thing and so I
did the above mentioned and he was satisfied also.
Look, I apologise to all those who are trained in
BF if I have given information that is 'not recommended but I would hate to know
that someone would possibly gave up the wonder that is breast feeding needlessly
if there was something she could try first. I am sure that a little rice
cereal mixed with EBM would be better than changing to formula?? Please
advice me if I am wrong.
cheers
