Kristy,

I really do appreciate all your help, it has made me realize what I was going through may be the contributer to my daughters problems.  I just can’t wait for her to get passed the fussiness and they say it ends at 3-to-4 months, and she’s getting there.  Talk about a bonus :-)

I was cosleeping with my daughter but as I have heard from many people, "you shouldn’t cosleep with your child."  Foolish me, I listened and started putting her in a swing that my brother had bought for her.  She sleeps in it and enjoys it and it soothes her quite a bit.  I tried to put her back in bed with me, but she didn’t like it, she wanted to be in there.  She sleeps with me during the day though and when we slept in the same before, I always put her in the boppy that I have.  I would make it into a bed.  After reading that article, I want to throw that in my mother in law’s friends face and a few others faces.  I have heard so many pediatricians say that cosleeping is such a good thing for them.  By putting them in a dark room, in a crib that has bars, it probably makes them feel like they are in jail.  And obviously I want what is best for my daughter.  ;-)

As for my production, I have always thought it was a contributer of the salt wasting.  As they say wherever salt goes, water follows.  And they always say you need to be well hydrated when you’re breast feeding.  I drink a lot, but I also urinate a lot too.  Although my doctor has told me that both my levels are fine.  I hope that Jennifer will answer me and I will continue to check it regularly.  In the meantime, I bought some tea that has the fenugreek and the thistle in it, so I am hoping that it’ll work.  (It’s really quite disgusting, but I found that putting honey in it helps) 

Btw, I am from Wichita, Kansas right now, but I am hoping to move soon because my husband is in the military.  I will definitely put your email in my address book.  My email account is ebryan09@hotmail.com, so if you ever feel like contacting me, you can. 

 

Thanks again,

Liz
