Thread: Breast feeding your baby

Breast Feeding tips anyone?

For me, it makes sense to do both natural breastfeeding and augment with bottled breast milk (especially at night).

Have 2 issues:

- train the baby to accept the bottle
- train the mother to allow the bottle to be used. Starting to get a freezer full of expressed breast milk, but when is the right age to start this dual feeding?

Any one have any early (first month) stories?

Gripe Water - is it ok to use on a daily basis?

Cheers!

. Is it normal and/or OK in Thailand not to use Vitamin-D for the first year of the Baby's life ?
Could the Sun compensate so much, that it isn't needed ?

Its a must where I come from.

Thanks Helge

I have moved my question here cause of the very catchy thread title

The sun helps a lot, I had to put my baby in the sun for 40 minutes each morning coz he was a little jaundiced shortly after birth,it did the trick

Know the situation well
Our baby spent the night in a Light Box. Broke our hearts to see her with tape over her eyes. I was about to tear down the Hospital, and the Wife wept.

Yes it's awful when they're sick.
I hope your girl gets better soon mate

Nah, she not sick at all.
She was a bit yellow when she was born, as many are, and the Hospital overdramaticed it.
She just turned 3 month and are very lively.

Thanks for yuor thoughts though
