I'm a First Time Mum. I breastfed my Daughter for a 1 and half months, before putting her on Formula Milk. (I have a second child now and experienced the same again. Althugh this time I knew exactly what t expect....)
She was crying constantly and she got even more worked up when it came to feeding time. I was told by a Midwife at the hospitalthat Breastfed babies don't get Colic........... Yeahright! TheyCan!
Colicky Babies do want more soothing than others. At first my daughter was constantly at the breast. I felt I couldn't do or go anywhere. I used to write down in a little feeding book which breast she last fed on , what time and how long for, as I wasthat tiredI kept forgetting which she fed off last.
I introduced aDummy by the 3rd week. Not normally recommended whilst breast feeding, but when I showed the Midwife how many times my daughter was on the breast, she simply said you can not go onlike this. She suggested a Dummy.Can I just say, itdid give me some rest bite, as she was using my breast as a soother and not actually feeding. She just wanting comforting all the time.
Due to the selectionof Formula Milk available, I didn't have a clue which was the best. I spoke to my Sister inLaw, who swore by Cow
