Breastfeeding and pumping my daughter enough to eat?
My daughter is almost 7 months and breastfeeding. I also recently introduced solid and eat 3 meals a day. Full-time job, I pump at work. My question is, lately, it seems that if you wake up at night. At first I thought was due to teething, but she is very hungry! After eating, going back to sleep. Lately he has been waking 2-3 times a night to eat ( given time, could not sleep all night). The 3 bottles when I put the work is only a total of 15 to 18 ounces (and weighs 22 lbs.) How I can know how not eat during the day? (I guess if I can pump more may sleep better at night!). I also try to avoid having to complete. Thanks! PS. In total, that is breastfed or bottle-feeding a total of 7-8 times a day! (For now, it should be closer to 5 according to his pediatrician).
Oooh, you'll find here a bad habit. Honestly, I say this based on the advice of my (excellent) the pediatrician for my two children who were breastfed. After about four months of age (and, in particular, seven months), no need to eat at night. Has a bad habit and you'll have to break it. Try increasing the daily intake 24 ounces (8 ounces 3 times a day) and morning and evening as nursing, and must be good. Try pumping more / more often to increase its bid. Normally a baby would, but since they have been pumping, pumping his pace may not remain with their needs. If you have to complete, do not feel bad, you did a great job and little formula and not take away the form of all the benefits of breast milk given. It is likely that (hopefully not, but fingers crossed) to continue sleepless night, even after eating more during the day because it became a habit for her. You'll have to resist the urge for food night and get her back on schedule and sleeping through the night again. PS: all the baby wakes up at night. So yes, it will wake up at night, but it should be able to go back to sleep without your intervention. That is what the film "all night", this does not mean she does not wake up at all.
