Thankyou girls. I am a bit hesitant to give her any additives yet, but I'll keep that in mind.

MR, I tried the posture feeding this afternoon and it ended with milk everywhere Might take some practice. I try to keep her as upright as possible after a feed but it doesn't really seem to help. The mw shoed me how to rock her back and forth 'like moving a bubble of air in a Coke bottle' and that seems to be helping a little bit.

Barb- Sorry, I should have included that info. Daisy is two weeks old. Her birth was lovely and about as natural as it gets- we never made it to the hospital, it happened so quickly and my MIL delivered her at home. We had skin to skin contact for hours afterwards and she hada really good feed, both sides, within an hour of birth. She has about eight or nine feeds a day, but some might stretch out over an hour and a half, as three or four short feeds from the same side. plenty of wet and dirty nappies.
I had lots of problems feeding ds. He wasn't at all interested in feeding for the first 48 hours, then couldn't attach without nipple shields, which we ended up using for 8 weeks. He had problems with wind as a newborn- oretty much the same feed, scream, burp, or fart, and repeat cycle. He ended up feeding really frequently- every hour or two- for months, and had lots of bellyaches, and big frothy green poos. It only eased up when he was about 5 months old. One problem- nipple shields, wind, too much foremilk, all seemed to lead to another. and yep, it feels like history repeating itself and I can't imagine doing it all again.
