Breastfeeding SupportGOT MILK? The Breastfeeding relationship is so important... if you need support, or are a boobie juice pro, come on in! This is the breast (uh, um best) discussion board on the web.
just wanna make sure he's not getting a binky at all~
also wanna encourage you to get nekkid with him in the bathtub, hold him close, have the lights dimmed and nature will kick in. also praise him when he is sucking-sounding encouraging and happy

you're doing it, mama!
Nope, no binky since yesterday morning. He's not missing it at all so far. He's never been much of a binky baby.
Aiden will take an AM nap then my friend is taking him so I can focus on Brenden this afternoon as well. DH will be home to pick kids up from school so he can take the oldest 2 this afternoon and evening. Hopefully by tonight he'll have this down pat.

Oh, you should've seen DH last night. My unsupportive hubby (of bf'ing) was getting right in there with me squeezing the SNS when needed, propping pillows, holding B's hand, etc. It was great!
awww....good job dh!
you're doing great!! you are one devoted mother!

Thank you everyone! After a screaming/nursing session I came here to check in and it was great to see the support. It's much needed right now. B's latching on as best as I can get him. He's trying to pull off the nipple and suck the SNS tube so I have to pull him off and relatch quite often. He's also mad cuz he can't quite regulate flow yet. It's either too fast from let down and SNS or too slow, so I'm squeezing the SNS to entice him. He's one stubborn boy, but he's still not had any bottles! I'm getting a little worried about dehydration as his soft spot is a little sunken and he's having fewer wet diapers and no poopies today. If it keeps up tomorrow I'll finger feed him with the tube (at the advice of my LC).
Keep up the good work. I am so happy for you.
