Does anybody know where I can purchase the Enfamil Nursette bottles and nipples? I'm located in Indialantic FLorida, and I've checked Publix and Walmart and not seen them in either.
A friend of mine just told me she is going to take her 7 month old off formula and on to milk. Now I know that this should not be done until after the 1 year mark. We have had this discussion many times and I don't want to make it out like I'm telling her what to do, but come on! She thinks that her daughter is exactly how she was as a baby. Examples-- Oh, Morgan won't crawl, I never did. So she hold her hands and walks her and discourages crawling. Morgan won't eat baby food, I never did. She has been feeding her table food since about 3 months. Morgan can't sleep in a crib b/c she likes and adult mattress, I was the same way. She is thinking about buying a twin mattress to put on the floor in her room. I really don't know why I even posted this, just because it pisses me off.
Edit: This is the one that tops it off. She smacks her hands and not even the light tapping which I personally don't agree with, but a good smack. Then says,"Look it doesn't even phase her" well if it does nothing then why do it!
Can someone please reccomend good bottles for a gassy baby? I'm tired of battling my daughter every time she eats. She cries, gulps her formula down, and has trouble burping EVERY time. She also coughs a lot after drinking a few ounces. I can't ask her pediatrician, he's an ass, and we're in the process of looking for a new one. Any help would be appreciated.
I'm really depressed re: my daughter's vomiting. Sometimes it happens 5 days in a row, then nothing for 4 days. The doctor says it's just gas but of course I'm paranoid, being that she was in the hospital for her stomach twice already. It happens after she's burped, and sometimes 1/2 hour after eating. I can't seem to figure it out. Is this happening to anyone else? I really don't want to switch formula-I've heard that can cause more problems. Right now she's on Enfamil Lipil w/Iron. Sigh....
Maybe I'm just being overly sensitive. But, lately I feel like beating myself up. Sometimes I feel like I didn't try hard enough to breastfeed Ryleigh. Lately there seems to be a flood of breastfeeding pictures, icons, discussions, etc. I rarely get offended by it or at least I try not to. Everyone has their right to their own opinions. Ya know? But I just feel bad about the one I made. It was just so horribly painful that I couldn't take it anymore. I swear sometimes the pain I suffered during breastfeeding was worse than labor. I saw a couple of lactation consultants and such. But, it just didn't help me at all. The creams didn't help. Nothing. Maybe I should of gone to my doctor. Maybe there was something wrong that they could of helped me with. I dunno. I just feel bad.
My medication and medical considerations lead me to decide I could not risk breast feeding, but now I have no idea where to look for information on formula. All I can find is sites telling me how bad it is, or comercials from particular brand names. Where is a good place to get info on formula?
