Happy Mothers day! I hope you had a wonderful weekend and you were able to relax a little!
I thought about you quite a bit this weekend. Have you ever read the book "Baby Wise"? If you haven't, I 100% recommend you get it!!! Chris gave it to me this weekend for Mothers Day and it's all about how to get your baby into a healthy sleep/eat pattern, and the majority of it focuses on BFing! I'm only on chapter 6 but I’ve learned SOOO much! I'm sure you already know a lot of what he's saying because you've done this before...but I just thought it might help with your current situation with Brady!
Hi Kristin! How are you feeling? I've read baby wise and am not really a fan. That method is actually quite controversial and there have been serious issues w/ babies whose parents followed it too strictly.....as in failure to thrive and even deaths. Of course, used in moderation anything can be helpful. I prefer Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child by Weisbluth I honestly think Brady's sleep issues are related to reflux b/c he's not fully waking and as soon as i feed him he's back out like a light. Uggh.
I actually feel really good lately! Thank god for the second trimester :-).
I can't totally see what you're saying with people following that book too closely and it being harmful! The part I thought was interesting had to do with the snack feeding, and babies not feeding long enough to get the hind-milk and thus making them want to feed at closer intervals. I had no idea there was even too stages of milk while BFing (that might show you just how little I know about all of this, LOL!!)!
I'll have to pick up that book that you recommended too and compare them! I hope things get better with Brady and I hope the Dr is able to help you at his WCV coming up! Keep us posted!!
