I can rarely get .Rowan to burp. She'll fall asleep at the boob, i'll try and burp her, nothing will come up and she won't even wake up, and then I put her down and with in ten minutes she is crying. I assumed she wanted more boob so every time she does this I put her back on, but I was told to try and burp her when she keeps waking up, and that she might only be taking the boob and using it as a pacifier (which makes sense because she'll only suck for a little while and fall back asleep). I really hope this is the problem because then it will solve these 7 hour feeding times!
Well my question is do any of you ladies have a good technique that works to get the gas out of your babies???? Burping tricks please!
Also, in the hospital I was told that my bleeding should go lightish pink or brownish within a few days, and that if it stays bright red to make an appointment with a Dr. How long did your bleeding take to not be all bright red because mine still is and i'm getting worried and really stressed at the idea of having to deal with going to the dr and having to put energy into something being wrong with me. I'm hoping it's normal 6 days after birth to still have this type bright red bleeding because I can't deal with anything other than baby right now!
