I talked to my IM. She has suggested lengthening feed times to at least 3 hours, except for the ratty evening times.

he's started snacking and I want to stop that, if only to get more sleep at night .

with regard to the wind pain, I keep getting contradictory advice - give up dairy, coffee, chocolate etc; food has nothing to do with it. He's had chiro and acupuncture to help with it. I wonder if it's just part of growing, but I'm cutting out dairy for a few weeks anyway.

i assume I have an oversupply. Milk fountains out like a shower head. His latch can get lazy because he doesnt have to work for it. I correct the latch but we're both covered in milk multiple times a day. I'll try stretching out block feeds as well. He had a couple of huge poos and chucked all over me today. He was upset so I put him on the boob. He cries, sucks, cries, sucks, then settles/snoozes.

I also try to express every day so DH can give him the last evening feed so I can get a head start on sleep. That doesnt always work when I dont express until evening, like this evening.
