My milk isn't growing with my baby :( he's almost 5 months and is still hungry after almost every feeding. The dr recommended that I give him formula after each feeding. But I read that just to put him to the boob a lot more so my body feels like he's getting more or something... How do you ladies make so much?? He favors the left one so its obviously way bigger. I tried randomly pulping it and made 4 oz which isn't enough for my growing boy. I feel so sad like my body failed him. I wanted to at least wait til 6 months.

My son is almost 8 months old & we've yet to have consistency with sleeping at night. We were even still swaddling him, not because we wanted to, but he seemed to still "need" it.
Well recently he was sick which obviously messed up his sleeping at night. After he got better we decided to stop swaddling him & then the real horrible sleeping began. So we swaddled one night out of desperation for sleep and he actually slept worse. It's now been about a week of really bad sleep with him waking up every couple hours crying. Something is bothering him but I can't figure it out.
He has been much gassier lately (and I have no idea why)...but I'm sure that's at least part of the problem. But could this be teething or something else? He's a very happy baby most of the day, this is happening mainly at night.
Just doesn't make sense! Poor guy is crying right now...my husband and I are up with him yet again :-(

It is used off-label and is contra-indicated for pregnancy... with a warning clearly on the box . Why do Doc's use it? It's cheap ... and 'can' be effective. But why put yourself at such a risk when cervadil and pitocin will work AND do not pose as many risks ( still risks involved though) Anyway - something to think about. Just because your doc. tells you he wants to give you cytotec does NOT mean you have to allow it!!
......
Cytotec® can cause abnormally strong uterine contractions (hyperstimulation or tetany) so strong that the uterus ruptures, resulting in severe injury or death of the mother and child. It can cause such heavy bleeding that to save the mother's life, her uterus must be removed (hysterectomy), leaving her incapable of bearing another child, and disrupting her natural hormones. The violent contractions it provokes also increase the risk of amniotic fluid emboli that can result in a stroke or death. Many, or maybe most doctors and nurses using this drug do not know
Following are more facts about Cytotec®:
•Cytotec® is the trade name given by pharmaceutical company, Searle, for the drug, Misoprostol or prostaglandin E1. Searle is the only manufacturer of Cytotec® in the U.S.
•Cytotec® was invented to treat gastric ulcers, and that is the only use that Searle recommends for it.
•Cytotec® is not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. nor by its manufacturer, for cervical ripening and labor induction.
•Searle, the manufacturer of Cytotec® sent all physicians a Drug Alert (also called a "Dear Doctor letter") in August of 2001, warning that Cytotec® may cause uterine rupture, and recommending against its use for induction of labor.
•The FDA then posted Searle's letter, using it as their own "Safety Alert" to interested parties.
•Searle has placed warnings on the drug label "not to be used in women who are pregnant." The silhouette of the pregnant woman with the slash through it at the top of this page actually appears on every Cytotec® box.

Anyone been induced with Cytotec? I am tomorrow at 6pm and after reading about it I'm extremely nervous

So my lo is 12 days old and I'm ebf. I went through the cracked/bleeding stage and cried in pain for a day while my nipples adjusted and we got the latch down. Just when I thought things were getting better, I start feeling engorged because he is falling asleep and not emptying them. I pump sometimes but not much because I don't want to over-produce milk. Now I have these Sharp stabbing pains in my left breast and a hard lump. Dr on call says its a clogged milk duct. I've tried heat, massage and meds. It hurts so bad to feed on that side so I just pump and feed on the right. Anyone else have this or any suggestions? (BTW...ebf my older son for 16 mos....no problems)

Ill start off by saying I pumped and saved 8oz of breast milk to feed lo prior to having a beer in case we needed it... So last night for New Years I treated myself to a beer and I woke up in the middle of the night to a soaked tank top!! Lo was sleeping soundly so I pumped and got 10oz of milk!!! Beer definitely increases milk production because I haven't soaked through a shirt since my milk came in! I only had one but I almost couldn't believe it when I woke up to a sopping wet shirt!

Probably a repost but how long did you wait after baby? I'm 9 days in and I want my husband so bad! I only had minor tearing and one last minute stitch I feel great in that department just bleeding a little still. I think it would help me feel more normal again too!
