Hello, all! I'm a Doula in Seattle, and have been lurking here for a few months. I cannot tell you what a valuable resource Lactnet is for non-professionals like me. I learn so much from you all! I'm a new birth and postpartum Doula, married 1 year, and an aspiring midwife. (Applying to midwifery school this month!) I would really appreciate it if someone would privately e-mail me with info about overfeeding colic. I have a postpartum client, second baby, who this may apply to. Her lactation consultant , a wonderful woman, by the way, diagnosed reflux . Keeping baby upright, and giving mylicon drops, didn't help. Baby grunts, strains, squirms, and fusses almost all the time. I shared with her what I'd read here, and it really made sense to both of us. Baby is now much happier being carried in a sling, and not offered the breast each time he fusses, but an occasional finger or pacifier to suck. A strong need to suck runs in this family. Anyway, baby is happier, and the Mom and I would love to know more about this subject. I make wonderful homemade soap, and would gladly send some to anyone willing to take the time to share more info with me. TIA! Warmest Regards, April Tutino
