Ok I was wondering how long will my
stomach cramp after I breastfeed the nurse
told me it was just making my uterus
contract. But I was wondering how long it
will do that. Its no that bad anymore but
still does every time I feed her.
And another is it ok to go back and fourth
between bottle formula and breast milk bc
I do and it doesnt seem to be a problem
but I wasnt sure if switching back and
fourth was good for them.???

Everyones body is different, my cramping
lasted about 8 days. Switching back and
forth on formula and breast is good, that
way the baby doesn't get used to only the
breast. It helps for when you decide to
go back to work.

My cramping stopped after about 5 days...
It'll stop after awhile.
As for switching back and forth, its not
too bad but a doctor will suggest to wait
until after their six weeks cuz for
awhile, danica got confused and for 2 days
she woudlnt go back to the breast... But
she finally has and I havent supplemented
a botle with her again yet. But as long
as it seems shes not getting confused..
It should be okay! Just watch the formula
cuz mixing formula and breastmilk all the
time at first can be sensitive to tehir
stomach.

I wouldn't supplement too much , I did
with kaelyn and she kind of "forgot" how
to breastfeed, and got really frustrated
when I put back on the breast. Make sure
she has breasfeeding down before u give
too many bottles, I would start out
gradually, maybe one or 2 bottles a day
and then go up. Good luck~
