There is nothing like holding your child and feeding them at night.... Lots of people complain about "night feedings" and can't wait 'till junior is sleeping 14 hours at a time. And not that the sleep deprivation wasn't painful on a few days here or there, but I wasn't one of them. I have been told I'm a little nuts on occassion too though..... There is nothing like holding the life you have created in your arms when its perfectly quiet.

The room is dark except for a dim light. Some of my most thoughtful life moments have come while I was nursing my babies and staring at them while they ate. Those were times I felt very close to God.

I am currently breastfeeding my fourth child who is 14 months. I know it is probably my last, so I am enjoying those moments greatly! And how wonderful it is that your husband wants to share in that experience.

You are truly blessed to have such a man in your life! And besides, especially with your first child, the sleep deprivation experience can be challenging, so his help will make it easier for you. ....but just one thing to mention, if you were like me, if you DON'T wake up to feed at night, you may become engorged with milk, which will wake you up anyways and will be uncomfortable.

I would just pump when this would happen if junior was otherwise fed and happy. I would recommend just using your regular baby bottles, with expressed breast milk sitting on the nightstand for hubby. If you pump late enough, you can leave fresh milk at room temperature for several hours and it won't need to be cooled or reheated.

If it is refrigerated milk, use a bottle warmer or even just set it in hot tap water.

Not that I'm aware of, BUT........... Nothing works quite like a real nipple. There are bottles with artificial nipples that are supposed to simulate breast nipples, but they are still not the same, and in fact the baby uses different mechanisms to work an artificial nipple than with a human nipple. Science just hasn’t been able to replicate God’s perfect design for mothering.In addition, it is generally not recommended to pump and bottlefeed (or cup-feed, or syringe-feed, or whatever else) unless it is absolutely necessary, such as a mother who has to go back to work.

There are a couple of reasons for this; the first and biggest reason is that pumping your milk and feeding it to your baby through another means can and will affect your supply. You probably already know that breastfeeding works on a supply-and-demand system. What you might not yet know is that breast pumps cannot extract the milk from your breasts as efficiently as a baby can.

This means that when you pump, you only get a percentage of what the baby normally gets, and that leads your breasts to think that your baby only needs that percentage of milk. Then, your breasts only make the percentage the next time instead of the amount your baby might actually need. This is why working mothers are constantly fighting to keep their milk supply up, taking herbal supplements or even supplementing with formula for the amount they are not providing through pumping.

If you keep the baby on the breast all the time and don’t use bottles at all, your body will know exactly how much milk to make for the baby every time he or she needs to eat. Your body will be able to make antibodies for illnesses that your baby comes in contact with daily (this doesn’t work as well when you use bottles because the baby has to first pass the germ to the mother through breastfeeding before the mother’s body makes the antibody and passes it through the milk back to the baby). The second reason for this recommendation to keep the baby directly on the breast is that many babies will develop nipple confusion (or as I like to call it "nipple preference") when introduced to a bottle.

Because a bottle nipple uses different oral mechanisms than a breast nipple, babies often "forget" how to use the breast nipple. Breast nipples actually require more work to get the milk out of, which is why breastfeeding has been proven to facilitate proper dental and jaw development (promoting better speech development and causing breastfed babies to be less likely to require orthodontic work later in life). But because bottle nipples are easier to use and also because babies get instant gratification from a bottle nipple (rather than having to wait for the milk to let-down), babies will often get lazy and prefer the bottle nipple, refusing the breast altogether.

These complications (low milk supply and nipple confusion) are common among breastfed babies who are introduced to the bottle, and yet they are easily avoidable for some. Nighttime parenting isn't such a big deal when you co-sleep with a breastfed baby. Did you know that co-sleeping (when done safely) actually reduced the rates of SIDS?

Also, everyone gets more sleep when Mom and Baby co-sleep. The baby spends less time crying and waiting for you, you don't have to get out of bed, and Dad gets the best part -- he doesn't even have to wake up. I'm still co-sleeping with my 15-month old son, and I barely wake to feed him at night anymore.

He merely stirs in his sleep, I lift my shirt, he latches himself back on, and then we're both back to sleep. And while some children may have a difficult transition to their own bed, it is not true that if you co-sleep you are doomed to a difficult transition.My daughter slept with me for about 13 months, and now at 34 months she sleeps happily in her toddler bed all night long. She has never tried to get back into my bed, and in fact won't get out of her bed without permission!

If you are interested in learning more about co-sleeping, I put some links below for you. If you decide not to co-sleep and Dad wants to be a part of the nighttime parenting, though, he could always get the baby, change his/her diaper, and bring the baby to you at night for each feeding, and then put the baby back in his/her crib. He can still be involved without actually providing the milk.

But, that doesn’t mean all is lost. I think it is absolutely fantastic that your husband is eager to jump into fatherhood with your first child. Count yourself as one of the lucky ones -- mine has yet to change a diaper (and we’re almost three years and two children into parenthood!

) In any case, it is a complete fallacy that fathers cannot be involved in parenting a breastfed baby. There are so many other things that fathers can do! Fathers can change Baby’s diapers, give Baby baths, read books to Baby, take Baby for walks, get Baby dressed, play with Baby, etc etc ec.

The list is endless. Breastfeeding is only one tiny, small, minute part of parenthood that makes the mother-child relationship special and unique. You should grasp onto the privelige and if your husband feels left out, give him something else that is entirely his to do, such as bathing or the bedtime routine, or something like that.

He can have something special just for him and the baby, just like you do. Wouldn’t it be fun if he started some sort of tradition, like Saturday mornings together, that he could keep throughout your child’s childhood? It would be such a unique way for them to create a special bond that could help carry them through the difficult years of adolescence.

The closest thing I find is called a breastbottle It's not worn, but it does simulate breast shape and softness to make the transition easier for a baby. Amazon does sell it, but you should look through the manufacturer's site for more details:Adiri Breastbottle Nurser - Baby BottlePrice: $14.25amazon.com/Adiri-Breastbottle-Nurser-Bab...

I've seen a bottle that is shaped like a breast... In one of my catalogs (One Step Ahead - GREAT catalog! ) I have seen a bottle shaped like a breast. I would think that the other person could hold it near the breast area to make it more "authentic".

I've seen a product called a nursing supplementer... or a supplemental nutrition system (SNS). A lactation consultant offered me the option because I was nursing my daughter SO MUCH and then pumping in between nursing sessions and feeding her the pumped milk via a syringe or a medicine dropper (this was before she was a month old and had not yet taken a bottle). I never used one but it’s basically a pouch of milk that you wear around your neck with two small tubes that go down your chest (and are fastened to your breasts with some form of adhesive) to your nipples.

When a woman is wearing this, the baby sucking on her nipple stimulates milk letdown and milk production AND the baby also gets the milk from the pouch. I’ve never heard of a man wearing this, but I’m sure it would be possible. I’m just not exactly sure what the benefit to the baby would be as milk definitely does not come from Daddy and Daddy will end up with some VERY SORE nipples (and, no, of course I don’t think you’re weird!).

My husband also wanted to be very involved in feeding, but since I breastfed exclusively and had some issues with milk supply, it was to everyone’s advantage to have the baby at my breast as often as possible. If your baby is under one month and you don’t want to use a bottle due to nipple confusion, your husband could also feed the baby using a syringe, a medicine dropper, or even a small cup.Dr. Sears’ website describes many options. Here is the Medela nursing supplementer and here is the lact-aid nursing supplementer.

I hope this information/advice was helpful and if you have any other questions, feel free to contact me as I am a BIG proponent of breastfeeding. I hope you and your husband can work things out so that he feels he is as involved as possible in caring for baby! Remember, feeding isn't the only thing baby needs - baby needs EVERYTHING from you two!

If baby drank breast milk that was bad about 1 ounce she throw up 4or5 times after that do we take her to the doctor.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
