Thank you for your comment. I really appreciate it. I will definitely do what you say and drink the water!  I have been pumping and mixing the breastmilk with the formula with the hopes that the baby will regain her weight and I will bring my stress down and increase my milk supply. I called a lactation lady that is a friend of the family and she suggested Fenugreek tea... she was also happy to hear that I was getting support from mothers on this website.  When I go to the doc on Friday I hope to hear that she has regained her weight and I will add in more breastfeeding time... I was really enjoying it and I really want to give her all the breast milk that I can. Thank you again. Your comment really made me feel better!!

 I have been breastfeeding 11mo,3weeks,2days. The only "problem" I have had was plugged ducts (many times- if you need advice on that, let me know). Gabriella bit me ONE time after she got her first tooth. It hurt so bad that I screamed "ouch!!" very loudly, which scared her and she began to cry. I did not mean to have it happen that way, but she has not bit me since!
Happy Nursing!

Be ready!!!  Kevin has 2 teeth on the bottom and he bites down, then laughs about it.  Before the teeth broke through, he would clamp down and pull away, and that was uncomfortable.  What do you give him to help him teeth?  I use Hyland's teething tablets (Kroger has them) and they work really well.

Umm so Landin has a tooth now and he his kind of being a little rough while nursing did you ever have that problem if so do they stop after he gets used to the tooth or is this going to continue. He didn't start doing it until the tooth broke through on Saturday!! It's not painful but its not very comfortable either!!
