Thanks to all for the advice and to Aunt Regina for the call. We are doing well with the baby but it is hard to know what is best. The crying when being put to bed only lasted 1 night because I just could not handle it. I agree that she is crying for a reason and even if it is just because she is lonely that is enough. I would like to get her on some kind of schedule just so that she knows hen she will be sleeping and awake eating and so on. Of course if that is not advisable right now then that is fine because Giada being on a schedule would require ME being on a schedule and that hasn’t happened for 38 years and unfortunately is not likely to happen now.

Giada seems happy and well fed but it is weird not really knowing how much she is getting because of breastfeeding. If I am breastfeeding every 3 hours then when am I supposed to pump? She seems less satisfied when I pump at 1 1/2 hours (plus I don’t get a ton of milk it seems) What did other mothers here do? I really don’t want her drinking formula unless can help it but I can’t seem to lay down an adequate frozen supply. Any advice besides get up at 3:30 to pump? I’m not doing so great at that.
