i got a sling today, and i thought WOW, this will be great! ill have my hands again. its called infantino slingrider however, even though its for a baby up to twenty pounds, i placed her in there, just as the directions say and her neck is all crooked and she looks terribly uncomfortable. am i doing something wrong??? how can i make her neck more comfortable?? i think i must be doing something wrong ****************** as for the br___tfeeding deal, i br___tfed her for 15 days... but its become such a stress to me..(she kicked and screamed and cried and refused to eat...all day and all night, never slept, and i was exhausted) and the fact is, the doctor thinks shes colicy, and br___tfed babies are more prone to colic apparently... today i broke down and gave her formula. i cried so hard givin her that first bottle...and kept saying im sorry madelyn, im sorry... but honestly, she was stressing me out so much the milk wouldnt even come out of my br___ts...this morning i squeezed and squeezed and it wouldnt... even though i can obviuosly feel it in there .... anyway, enfamil lipil with iron is supposed to be the closest to br___t milk possible and she seems to like it and is doing much better, less stress for both of us... so hopefully that will work out for the better. most babies dont even get br___tfed at all, are started at birth on formula so the way i see it is i tried the hardest possible, and she got a good two weeks of my natural milk, and i can only do the best i can do. stress isnt good for either of us. i feel better knowing how much milk shes getting as well. any tips for me to help with my milk drying up? because i know it hurt SO BAD when it came in, they got engorged...any help??? ******************** oh and madelyn obviously is doing well. she was 6 lbs 12 oz at birth...and now shes gained to seven ten. and shes 16 days!!!! :) doctor seemed very impressed indeed. shes so smart for her age. shes not supposed to have much neck control, if any, and shes already lifting her head ******************** ooh, and the first smile...intentionally. when is that supposed to be? everytime she smiles i keep thinking OMG shes smiling then i remind myself its not because she wants to, its a natural reflex deal right now. ********************************* her eyes are dark blue right now, and shes mixed with mexican and egyptian and im white. she barely looks mixed at all and i really hope that she keeps those eyes... what do you think her chances are??? ************************** oh and ps--- please god tell me my t_ts arent going to look like floppy bags once the milk is dried up
