all this baby wanted was to nurse.... My early responses....0-4mths Q; I don't make enough milk. A: Untrue, he poops 15 times a day and gains .5lbs./week consistantly. Q; His latch-on is incorrect. A; No, I checked a thousand times daily. Q; But all the books say 3-4hrs. A; Those books are about other people's babies. solution, fed one bottle of formula a day for about a month, until he was three months and grabbed the thing from me and threw it across the room!!! conclusion, he needs the stimulation. It is how he is.

"there must be something medically wrong with him" I worried and paced questioning my every movement seeking any reason for his insatiable needs... -at three weeks I took him to the doctor for a 'fever' of 99f. -at two months I treated him for a misdiagnosed case of thrush. -at three months I was convinced he was teething, he got his first tooth at 5 months. I had just never met such a fussy baby who downright needed constant contact, I remember crying with him as we walked the floors, my nipples gave out sometimes. -he hated carrides, especially at night -he hated rocking IN NURSING position IN ANYBODY'S ARMS. -he hated strollers -he would only go in the baby swing if he was near deep sleep and only if we had it going for a hour before picking him up to take him to his crib. He would wake up soon after I feel asleep and end up in my arms and at the breast all night. That was not a problem of course.
