Nursing ALL the Time

I know people say they nurse all the time, but I literally do. It starts when we get up at 8 am and he'll eat for 30 min or so until drifting off, then I'll lay him down. 5 to 10 minutes later, he'll be awake and demand more. This goes on until 2 or 3 in the afternoon. He's 6 weeks old now and gaining weight (started off at 8 lbs and is now over 11!) the Only way I really get him down for a nap during the day is to give him 4 oz of formula. Now he's getting up at night to do the same. We were up for 3 hours last night. What is going...

Is It Me, or Are Avent Bottles Garbage?!?

I've been using Avent bottles to feed my son pumped breastmilk ever since I brought him home from the hospital about a month ago. Lately, it seems as if the bottles are leaking all over the place.

I have made sure that the lid has been screwed on super tight and that the nipple has been pulled through the cap and is forming a seal. Additionally, I wash my bottles by hand so I don't think the...

Any Experience with Avent Sippy Cups

My 11 month old twin sons are in the process of weaning from the bottle. They have had a sippy cup (Nuby) since 6 months. Once they mastered the Nuby sippy cup I moved on to the Playtex cups whihc they don't like. I think the flow is just too slow and removing the piece inside the cup makes the flow much to fast. I tried cups with straws which they don't like either. I recently went back to the Nuby which they drink a little from but it leaks so much. We used Avent bottles and were pleased with those and thought we would try the Avent...

Advice on Cluster Feeding

Hello all. My little girl just turned two weeks today and I am exclusively breastfeeding. I am over the initial engorgement and my nipple tenderness has pretty much subsided. She is gaining weight well and has a pretty good latch. I nursed my now 27 month old for 8 months but it was never easy. I have a couple of questions/concerns. My daughter seems to be falling into a pattern of cluster feeding in the late afternoon early evening hours ( 4 to 6:30 pm) I pick my 2 year old up from day care at 4, so this has been very trying on us....
