Dear Lactneters, I need some help with a 31/2 mo. baby who refuses mom's right breast unless she lies on her left side and nurses. He has no problem with wt gain--16 lbs (8lbs @ birth and a concern when went home in 24 hours not eating well at all!!). Her concern is he wants to eat every 1-2 hrs. She approached her doctor about Reglan to increase her supply even if he only nursed on left-which is what she does when not at home. It has increased she thinks evidenced by him now sleeping 2-4 hours twice a day. He will not take a bottle or pacifier. He is now beginning to suck on his fingers and some teething toys which I think will help. He is also interacting more with his outside environment by looking around more and can be entertained by others although to mom this still takes her time. I really think this is just a high needs child right now and tincture of time will help. I have suggested a cup for dad to feed so she can get out and she is willing to try but I'm not sure what else to suggest and I don't want her to quit--not taking the bottle has helped her continue thus far! Most of the older babies I see are FTT so I need help with this one! E-mail me at [log in to unmask]
