My daughter is 4.5 months and will go 4 hours in between feedings during the day from a bottle. When I'm home I strictly nurse her and it's every 2 hours on the dot. What makes the difference?

@thecutestcarter I think it's because your baby would rather cuddle with you and nurse than have a bottle. Take it as a compliment that your baby loves you sooooo much. Porter is the same way. He would nurse every hour if I let him :)

Finally! Someone else who didn't see any effects from fenugreek. I took it for a few weeks and saw no increase. Love the video! Thanks for it.

@deathcabforjenny You are so welcome. And yeah it doesn't work for everyone :(

I think stress can seriuosly sabotage bf success. I wonder if it's why it didn't work for us? Did I put so much pressure on myself to bf that it didn't work? Also, I think you need to surround yourself with supportive poeple, who encourage you, but don't put pressure on you. I will do a lot of things differently next time, like getting an electric pump instead of a handheld one and feeding as often as you suggested. Thanks:)

@xoxazurixox I totally agree... you need support... my family does not support me (thank god my youtube friends do). And yeah I think an electric pump, even though expensive, was a savior for helping with breastfeeding... Either way, know that you tried and did a great thing for your baby !

I use to have Alot of breast milk, and my doctor gave me pills to help increase aswell..

than one day I decided to drink alcohol.. I was told I didn't have to pump and dump, just way several hours after I drank. So I did, but ever since than it feels like i dont have any milk what so ever. /: but I do just a bit, I really need help. I wanna breast feed again.

@ljewkes Porter actually had his first bottle on his 3rd day of life. We did one bottle a day because we wanted to make sure he would be used to it since he had to go to daycare. As long as breastfeeding is going well you should add a bottle every once in a while so you have options... that's my opinion on the subject.

@MsGingerbells I am pro gay marriage. I feel that it's not the government's business who sleeps with whom. I feel that by denying two people who obviously love each other, the same rights that straight couples have, that we are discriminating.

@jengilbert3369 YOu can get them on Amazon and also from Nicki's diapers.

[InformationMommy]

@nickiweb21 Yeah it really works for lots of people... but yeah not for me either.

@billnme You are very welcome ! Hmm... I am not sure with suggestions on that one except for to keep trying. Are you producing enough milk? I know when I have a low supply Porter tends to push away from the breast more.
