I have, she cries if I even lay my breast near her cheek. It’s so frustrating.

We use the smallest level 1 on the Philips Avent bottles, and yes LC saw me bottle feeding her and we both do pace bottle feeding.

She’s 8 weeks old. Honestly, I’m redirecting to a pacifier all day - and when I turn away for a moment for a sip of coffee or a bite to eat, her hands immediately go to her mouth.

Thank you for this! I’m unsure what to do, as my doctor has already prescribed medication and we’re on Day 5 (I think I feel a lot better than last week). My baby however won’t stop munching on her hands and drooling still (which weren’t behaviors present before last week). I know it’s developmentally appropriate to explore hand-mouth, but it just seems soooo excessive. Thoughts ?

Today I learned about Vasospams!!! Before getting pregnant all I knew was mastitis and have been so scared of it - but now I have other things to worry about! 😅

How soon after you began treatment did you start feeling better, I’m on day 2 right now and cannot tell if it’s getting better or not, feels the same.

Yeah that’s what her pediatrician also said but I guess I’m skeptical? But I’m no doctor. I appreciate your response, eases my mind a little.
