PL - I think you're doing a fabulous job!! It sounds like she is getting more and more from you and by increasing the number of times you are offering her the bb you will stimulate milk production on your own. I don't have any advice on the motilium, perhaps someone else can chime in there, but it sounds like you are doing everything right!
How is your DH's attitude towards your bfing? I hope he is being more supportive now that he sees what a great job you are doing.
I think DH is more resigned to the idea of BF. Still not 100% happy with it, but he's not so vocal about opposing it now. Tho he did say the other day he doesn't think DD is as settled as she was when on FF only. I don't think so (granted she did have some very unsettled moments but I think it was just a growth spurt as she has settled again and feeding happily).
Does anyone have any experience of what will happen when the molitium runs out???
But I'm glad your DH is giving you the chance to try. It will be easier for you without the added stress from him.
Dont forget that because BM is so much better for them, it is much easier to digest & so they will feed more often. BF is anywhere from every 2 hours where as ff is around every 4 hours.
So if it's because she is feeding more then that might be why.
They also usually will go through an unsettled period at around 6 weeks. They will usually have a growth spurt & just will be generally unhappy for a few days no matter how they are fed.
Keep up the good work!!
