Just IMO but bottlefeeding is way more difficult and time consuming after the first few weeks. The first weeks are the adjustments period, but after that nursing is a piece of cake.
I've done both.
Plus its the best nutrition.
and all night feedings is NORMAL, he is going through a growth spurt. Please do not give young babies water... ALL THEY NEED IS MILK for a very long time.
There are a lot of comments on this board about whether babies NEED extra water, and the tone of most of you seems to be militant against babies needing extra water.
The fact of the matter is that MEDICALLY SOME BABIES NEED WATER. If they have phelgm backed up, they'll be given water while still in the hospital, even. It's medically acceptable (even quite helpful) at times. It's just not necessary as part of a daily diet for a newborn.
Just out of curiousity, how old was your baby when you made this video? I find it interesting that you felt like bfwas time consuming. I'm a single mom with NO help and it made my life soooo much easier and I'm so glad that I stuck with it. Also, great job on getting back into your jeans quickly, breastfeeding burns up to 500 calories a day which is equivelant to running 5 miles! Just by sitting on your bum and cuddling your baby!! I find that bf was the BEST choice I have ever made as a mom.
2 points on this vid...1st....thinking that the the weather is warmer or wotever does not explain why your child feeds more...breastmilk is NOT a cooling drink, it is genuine feeding nourishment in babies within 6-8mths of age,very diluted juice or water should be given as a drink..2nd..dont feel overly pleased with urself if ur back in ur size 8's or wotever,bf is very sure way to help u get back in shape as it contracts your muscles,im a mum of 5 bf babies and still a slim trim size 10.
Please dont take it personally, evry breastfed baby IS different...i just picked up on when u said that ur baby was feeding more and u might of thought it was because of the warmer weather, its more likely to be a growth spurt..breastmilk is not a drink and while it satifies ur baby's hunger it does'nt quench thier thirst, specially in warm weather, hence the need to give water or diluted juice...was wondering tho is this the first time u have breastfed??? not that ur doing anything wrong lol xx
Breastfed babies don't need extra water, even in hot weather.
Studies carried out in hot climates, like India, have shown that babies allowed to breastfeed whenever they want, do not become dehydrated. Breastmilk is itself mostly water and in hot weather babies tend to go to the breast more often for short feeds. This way they get extra foremilk which is thinner and more refreshing than the fat rich hind-milk. So let your baby have extra feeds as she wishes and she will get plenty of water.
I agree yes..although i never said lack of water would dehydrate them, was just trying to point out that giving water during warm weather is beneficial for both mother and baby, mother gets a rest from continuous feeds but baby also get a healthy refreshing drink to cool down...ive breastfed 5 and always fed them as they wished, but still intruduced water inbetween on hot days, its not necessary but helpfull.
At least we're all pro breast-feeding :) I've been in many debates as to whether or not it's still necessary to breast-fead all. What with bottles and formula... Makes me angry.
oh yeah i know all about these growth spurts looking back to when franki was smaller it was a nightmare but im so pleased with myself for working thorugh it and still feeding him at 10 months! o n i have had nothing but earache off my mum about when im going to stop she thinks hes to big to be fed but i think not!
that's not completly accurate about breastmilk not quenching a baby's thirst. In fact....rdeuce's comment below is 100% the truth. Well done!
PS~ My daughter was exclusively breastfed untill she was 9 mos. which means that I NEVER gave her juice, water, formula, cereal..etc. In fact, she never had juice or water untill she was a year old and started on cereal feeding a day at around 9 mos. She is almost 17 mos and her preferred drink is still mommy's milk.
i never gave franki extra water, didnt start offering that till he was on meals they get everything they need outta the boooob =) can wait to feed the next baby xx

I was breast-fed when I was a baby and a doctor told me it has had a significant effect on my IQ level. My IQ level is around 120 which is pretty decent and I'm very thankful for it.
Yeah screw powder milk. tits always do wonders :P
"Under the Stanfrod-Binet scale, the most commonly used one in the USA and Canada, the average IQ is 100, roughly 60% of all people have an IQ between 90 and 110.
An IQ of 140 or above is considered genius. Since only about 6% of the population of the world scores as high as that, either the scores you presented are largely exaggerated or they were obtained by fallacious (useless) tests, or, world-class geniuses have gathered round here at Youtube, putting MENSA to shame."
Well, firstly, I'd like to put it out there that if you look at worldwide statistics, the U.S itself has one of the lowest average IQs, with the exception of multiple third world countries. A reflection of a fail educational system. In Italy, for example, children go to school Monday through Saturday, and must pass several types of exams extraordinarily more intense and complex than Americans in order to even continue to the next grade. If you fail even one of these tests, you repeat the grade>>
failed*, anyhow, bottom line is, America has turned stupid, clearly, seeing as they just elected a socialist into office and didn't even realize it. lol. I believe in educating yourself in a country that is intellectually failing.
IQ has absolutely nothing to do with education system. Any IQ test that requires any type of educational preparation is flawed. Valid IQ tests will turn in same scores for 2 people with same IQs, even if one of them has PhD and the other can barely read.
IQ has more to do with your natural ability to calculate things rather than what you have previously learned.
So that being said, we can say a large number of Americans are fairly ignorant, while not necessarily stupid.
I agree there is a world of difference between ignorance and stupidity. And I was careful and thoughtful when I said America has turned stupid. And yes, I see your point. However, if you had no education, you wouldn't even be able to TAKE an IQ test, let alone pass it. It's common sense. You would have to be able to read or have at least a basic concept of the topics included in it. So tell me please, how you can say it has "absolutely nothing" to do with educational systems?
I took 2 IQ tests, both outside the US which only consisted of shapes. Maximum score was 140. One was at my school, the other was online on a European website. Both returned similar results.
But yeah I know what you're saying, the Stanford-Binet IQ test needs some comprehension and reading skills, but not all that much so in the end all come down to the same thing. Which is the ability to reason through things.
You might wanna look it up, as my knowledge is very limited on the subject. :)
once you get the hang of breastfeeding it can be a wonderful way to mother and make things easier on yourself. breast or bottle, babies have to eat, babies take time no matter what. all the best to you.
wow you look great! I am almost in my size 7 jeans, they are like so close to being buttoned, but not quite there yet. Yeah Breastfeeding is so tiring, lately I feel like all I do is breastfeed!! Darn these growth spurts!
I just had my son on Thursday and am breastfeeding as well it is time consuming. My son has been wanting to eat lots to the last little while. As others have said and from what I have been told it will get easier. They go threw periods of what is called cluster feeding and as they get better at it they will be less frequent feedings listen to the baby he will tell you when he is hungry.
Hiya. Breastfeeding is well worth it but can hurt. Just had a bout of mastitis - boob went really hard, very red and I felt like I had the flu - but getting better now. I had my baby Abigail on 7th June at 5pm and was out the hospital at 9pm same day! All is well and well done to you!
Great video.Nursing will get much easier w/ time!I'm still nursing my 25 month old& its the best experience Ive ever had!I work partime &still managed to nurse 100%!NO formula.My daughter already knows her abcs, how to count to 15,english & spanish! The doc says shes a VERY fast learner mostly due 2 breast milk =)Its the BEST feeling to hear her say"I LOVE MAMA MILKY" =)I suggest all moms search under " Healthcare reform & Edwina Froehlich "a video by lorex,very informative! Happy nursing!=)
Your videos have been so helpful to me, and it's influenced me to start my own pregnancy diary! I hope you keep going, talking about more baby stuff, and letting us see how big Franki gets. Congrats, skinny minnie!
I AM doing videos, would love to hear what you think of them! By the way, your son is gorgeous, and it's soooo good to see another mom who supports breastfeeding!
my son is 8 months old, I've been breastfeeidng the entire time and I am no where near to snapping back lol... I've still got a muffin top. I still have 20 lbs to lose to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight. Breastfeeding makes me so hungry all the time!
yer it did hurt at first, it hurt me that bad that i had to get some nipple cream, but when i went to use it the pain had stopped! it really does help though...u will lose urs fine x
