Calling all Breastfeeding Moms

Tanvee Mom of 2 children 6 years ago
The first issue is latching on the baby in the right way. Make sure she opens her mouth big, so that she covers the areola (dark portion around the nipple) well. Also make sure the both the lips are curled outwards to minimize biting. In case of bites, Express a drop or 2 of the breast milk and spread it on the nipple.

Hello moms, I am mother of a 7 yr girl and a 4 months baby. I breastfeed by baby. Now I am having a challenge because my son has gained over weight the reason behind it is over feeding. when doctor told me that there will be complications if I over feed the baby I was totally blank. I din't know anything about this over feeding, the weight which had to be gained at his 6th month he had already gained in his 4th month.

When I asked my doctor how to face this challenge he told me to increase the gap between feeds. I am trying to follow that, but when I see my son I feel a guilt that I may not be giving him sufficient milk. Even if I feed after a gap of 3 hrs he vomits some milk. I am really worried about it.

Please someone help me to face this and also give some suggestions like what's the time gap I can maintain and how to avoid milk spitting.
hi you can leave a time gap of 2-3hrs and make him busy with some musical toys or colorful things to avoid overfeeding and take help of others to look after baby for sometime because babies will identify us and immediately they want milk sometimes when they r not hungry even my 5month old does it so I avoid him n feed every 2 to 3 hrs
