(see http://www.kellymom.com/bf/normal/growth-spurt.html). Although she may act as if she is starving, she will be ok and your milk supply should adjust in a few days. Try to let her feed as much as possible to help things along.<BR/><BR/>You've probably already read this, but if you want to pump extra, try doing so with an early morning feeding. Pump at the same time as you are feeding her if you can. The natural let down that comes with Kylie feeding makes pumping easier. Plus, your milk supply is usually higher in the morning. <BR/><BR/>My daughter had colic starting about 4 weeks of age and Gripe Water was about the only thing that gave her relief. I never would have believed it before I tried it. <BR/><BR/>Good luck!Lynannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02416883491055528952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31651336.post-13041957043907052032007-05-10T07:31:00.000-04:002007-05-10T07:31:00.000-04:00The best way too boost supply is to let her feed, ...The best way too boost supply is to let her feed, and feed, and feed and not worry about the pump for a couple more weeks. The pump is nowhere near as efficient as a baby. The pump is just another thing to worry about when you've got enough going on as it is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31651336.post-6680962462426469702007-05-10T03:37:00.000-04:002007-05-10T03:37:00.000-04:00OK, SHUT UP!

It's amazing what you "forget" once you are in a new stage.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad that I could be of help today.

The other (which worked better) is having her lay on her back and "bicycle" her legs, the higher her knees go up toward her belly the better.<BR/><BR/>On milk supply. . .if you don't have any luck with the fenugreek, let me know.
