Cluster Feeding and Fussy Evenings

KellyMom — Thu, 25 Aug 2011 17:20:20 +0000

It is very common for babies to be fussy and nurse very often in the evenings, particularly in the early months.

My daughter had a fussy time every evening for a couple of months (yes, it does go away!). I spent weeks camped out on the end of the sofa with a constantly nursing and/or fussy baby every evening from about 6 to 10 PM...

Infant Potty Training and Attachment Parenting

KellyMom — Tue, 02 Aug 2011 16:12:06 +0000

Infant potty training is about a gentle, natural and loving method of communication and toilet learning. In most societies where Attachment Parenting has been practiced for centuries, this method of infant toileting is used. Because of this, I consider it to be another element of AP and refer to it as the sixth Baby B - after Dr. Sears' 5 Baby B's:

Mother-2-Mother Concerns: Fussiness

KellyMom — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 03:55:26 +0000

Young babies, both breast and formula fed, are often fussy. It is not unusual for this to happen during the late afternoon and evenings, and is usually NOT due to hunger, wet/dirty diaper, or anything that mom or dad can fix. It is usually NOT related to milk supply, although some mothers may worry about this.

My baby is gassy. Is this caused by something in my diet?

KellyMom — Sun, 16 Jul 2023 13:39:52 +0000

Does a mom need to watch everything she eats to avoid having a gassy baby?

The idea that certain foods in any mom's diet will cause gas in her baby is incredibly persistent but is not founded in research. If certain foods in moms' diets were an overall problem for most babies, we would expect that cultures that emphasize those foods would have more gassy and fussy babies, but this does not occur at all.

Teething

KellyMom — Tue, 26 Jul 2011 18:01:42 +0000

Teething is one of the most common causes of frequent night waking during the second six months and through the second year. It can also cause fussy nursing behavior, as some babies experience gum discomfort with sucking. Baby might start to nurse, but then pull off and cry or fuss and not want to nurse anymore. Other babies nurse nearly constantly because the nursing is soothing to them.

The Distractible Baby

KellyMom — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 04:29:57 +0000

Latch on, suck a moment, pull off... latch on, suck a moment, pull off. Nurse a minute, pull away to smile at mom. Nurse a minute, pull away to see who just walked in the room. Nurse a minute, pull away to listen to the TV. Nurse a moment, pull away because the dog wagged his tail. Sound familiar??
