They're not bad, they can cause gas in baby and make you smell like maple syrup though. I didn't notice an increase in V's gas when we were on it though.<br /><br />She is a little cutie :) Glad she's gaining well.<br /><br />Take care of yourself. I hope you're feel better soon.AnotherDreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11487881766884178761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492793455039836501.post-46164953756440980092014-08-01T09:27:21.213-04:002014-08-01T09:27:21.213-04:00She is so beautiful... =)She is so beautiful... =)Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13734034774744301654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492793455039836501.post-29414611790357223272014-08-01T06:41:04.572-04:002014-08-01T06:41:04.572-04:00I just started reading the book Happiest Baby on t...I just started reading the book Happiest Baby on the Block and they give some wonderful insight into colicy babies.

So in case you see any changes in E's behavior, it may be the Fenugreek. I had to stop taking it since it was not worth it to see her so miserable :-(Sunflowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12666376683383060063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492793455039836501.post-70615905642945566962014-07-29T15:35:22.341-04:002014-07-29T15:35:22.341-04:00Hi, congrats on your little one!

I used Medela nipple shields to give her something to latch on to; perhaps they would work for you as well, in that it would give her less to latch on to?<br /><br />At one point I was nursing and pumping every two hours trying to increase my supply, it was hell! I had a hospital grade pump with the right size cups (this is very important!) I am a DD and needed the XL size to get a stream when pumping. I tried the teas, Go-Lacta supplements and cookies. They all helped a little but not as much as I hoped. Then I discovered Milky! This changed my nursing life. I started out drinking 4 per day and quickly moved down to 2 per day. It was so much easier than drinking an entire cup of tea. This was like downing an energy shot, quick and easy. My milk came in amazingly well and I actually was able to start freezing when I pumped. I nursed her until she was about 8 months old when she weaned herself and continued pumping and giving her breast milk until she was 18 months old.<br /><br />Shop around as the pricing can vary, but here is a link I found: http://www.apeainthepod.com/Product.asp?Product_Id=031780363&MasterCategory_Id=MC29&kpid=03178-99-0&kpid=03178-99-0&mr:trackingCode=A200042E-85F4-E311-A34D-BC305BF82376&mr:referralID=NA&mr:device=c&mr:adType=pla&mr:ad=27826380506&mr:keyword=&mr:match=&mr:filter=18500979626&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=&utm_content=All+products&utm_campaign=Product+Listing+Ads+-+Search&utm_source=google&gclid=CjwKEAjwjN2eBRDbyPWl0JLY5lYSJACPo0UiEwFPb9VjN-EDcl5TfeW5wWQILmghMakXlzN1GRwFMxoCWwXw_wcB<br /><br />Hope that helps :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
