All three of mine probably would have spit up a lot less. If you decide to go for it, I have some good recipes and tips for being dairy free. I know I feel much better since I've cut it out. Much love to you guys!Hannah Hoffmannhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12956718493883678225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6531048048476560384.post-69157380235250733722011-05-27T18:26:07.681-04:002011-05-27T18:26:07.681-04:00I would start tracking what you are eating and her...I would start tracking what you are eating and her gassy moments.

Thats great. I just was told and read that shouldnt really let a newborn go more than 4 hrs without eating. But, hey, if she is sleeping, you know what they say, dont wake a sleeping baby! :) And as you said she has gained weight, so thats great!<br><br>Sadie has always been a terrible sleeper, I wasnt doing the swaddling thing. OOPS, oh well, def next time, if there is one. I am sure little Taylor is keeping you busy and I am so proud to hear you are continuing nursing. I knew you would. Alot give it up very quickly. But as you feel, I felt the same way it was so neat knowing I was providing for her. I saw *was* because around 5.5 months I started introducing formula, I cant rememebr why, possibly wasnt making enough, but well and when I would try and pump for her she wouldnt stand still so I can pump and I would CRY AND CRY because I kept telling her mommy is doing someting good for you. So I had to give it up :( because I am left with barely nothing and she eats 4 oz. I have been taking fenugreek to help with the supply I am hoping I can at least pump a little because she REFUSES to nurse now and I am so upset because I miss that bond. <br><br>ANyways, I am sure youre enjoying your little Taylor! MORE pics please! :)Jillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06163962594434709570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6531048048476560384.post-151429940674151032011-05-27T21:12:46.368-04:002011-05-27T21:12:46.368-04:00Read up a lil on the gripe water...not really all ...Read up a lil on the gripe water...not really all that safeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6531048048476560384.post-18600741464367387082011-05-28T13:04:43.637-04:002011-05-28T13:04:43.637-04:00That 6 hr stretch was nice-I noticed it came after...That 6 hr stretch was nice-I noticed it came after she nursed for over a half hour. If she did that more often, she'd probably gain more too. Average wt. gain for a newborn is 8 oz. per week. Mylicon drops and gripe water don't seem to work for lots of babies.

Strain and then place the water in a bottle. When it cools down enough, but is still warm, feed to baby. Relieves colic and is perfectly safe for baby. Works like a charm each time! <br><br><br>*Also helps adults with indigestion after a big meal!Jessicanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6531048048476560384.post-42147679814406857892011-05-30T22:50:46.773-04:002011-05-30T22:50:46.773-04:00Keep up the great work, Lauren!!

I know one thing she'd do is put them on their backs, take their feet and make circle motions with their legs in clockwise patterns. Maybe that might help??Kelseanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6531048048476560384.post-91451950876981277142011-05-31T20:20:13.210-04:002011-05-31T20:20:13.210-04:00Even at 2am you're adorable!Even at 2am you're adorable!Allisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17662391036247560875noreply@blogger.com
