Janet Simpson's scenario is one I hear a great deal too. I tell moms that the baby is making up for lesser cream with more volume and that this too will get better as babies get bigger and milk supply becomes "more estabslihed." It is also interesting to note that many of the mothers who compalin about this have other children they chase during the day and that the only time they have to really sit and nurse the baby is at night after children are in bed, etc. This may be a perception, but I also believe it is the baby's way of getting idnividual attention in the only way s/he knows how. (Sometimes these are working outside the home moms, too) A bottle of formula may make the baby stop crying, but that doesn]t solve the problem, does it? How will her milk supply meet baby'ds need if that need is surfeited with something else? I often recommend a quiet walk around the block if mother simply CANNOT nurse the baby again. Often, such a change of scene/pace calms baby and mother. Def. of LC service: "We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations." Kathleen G.
