: Our baby is 5 days old now and she is doing well. The problem we are having is the only way we are able to calm here down is by feeding her. She will sleep for 3 to 4 hours, wake up a little fussy. We then change her diaper (which she hates.)After this she attempts to suck on anything that gets close to her face. My wife will then breast feed 15 minutes a side. Even after breast feeding she will cry and carry on, still looking to suck on anything. We have found that the only way to calm her is by giving her a bottle which she will drink up to another 4 ounces. We have tried a pacifier but she will suck on it for only a minute and then cry again. Can anyone help us? I agree with Lee. And Le Leche will help, often the can send a nurse to instruct and give advice. The more your wife feeds her the more milk she will make. My son was fed almost every hour on both sides and my milk production increased right along with his appetite.
