Do you 'enjoy' spending time with your kids?
- Yes, most of the time we really have fun together
- Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's really dull and aggravating
- Honestly most of the time it's not fun at all, but it's not supposed to be fun
- I really don't enjoy it at all, and wish I could spend less time with them

When can you start scheduling bf'ing? I am going on 3 weeks and am hoping that by about a month this is possible? This on demand stuff is killing me- I want to be able to get out of the house some! Can't seem to pump much without messing up my supply for the baby for the rest of the day. HELP!

Never. I guess at 3 months the baby can go about 4-5 hours without.. so that might work for you. Breastfeeding isn't scheduled.

breastfeeding on a schedule doesn't make any sense to me. you nurse so that the babby can get a lot more benefit than the milk. In hindsight, my kids are the way they are from laying next to me, and knowing they were safe, and never crying for their first year. I guess I'mwrong. You could nurse them "on a schedule", but then you are losing out on all of the other bonds nursinng offers. My second hopped on and off every 45 mins. And if you took her to the playground today, at 2, you would think she was a total joy. And she would go with you, too.

its less that you schedule it than that teh baby does. certainly at about 10 weeks both my babies fell into pretty reliable aptterns, with about 3 hours between feedings. 3 weeks is too early to schedule but you can go out of the house when ever you want, jsut bring the baby with you.
[ Reply | More ]op- it's a little too cold for that! Plus I want to get out ON MY OWN, not with baby! I've had friends who go back to work at 6 weeks and EBF- I would assume they have to be scheduling?
[ Reply | More ]what is ebf? Women pump at work. Every 3 hours. And that milk comes home for the babies bottles the next day. Bottles are scheduled. I've never heard of scheduling nursing, although I'm sure women do it today. Do you think mom goats schedule the nursing of their little ones? Sorry, the visual just popped in my head when I was trying to think why it was so odd.

If you gonna stay home..dont schedule. Just feed every two hours or on demand. Why do women always want to organize life? It is the fault of our stupid, in a rush, society. Just feed when you are full and baby is hungry.
