[QUOTE="witzend, post: 338535, member: 99"] I breastfed my first and not my second. I think it's a wonderful thing, but circumstances did not permit with the second. My neighbor, I, across the street has a boy, S, who is now 19 months old. She breastfed him and may still, I'm not sure. I remember them walking him in the pram every day and being so embarrassed, he just hollered his lungs out. He didn't sleep, he cried all of the time. I imigrated from Poland, and has a little girl, A, who is in kindergarten now, and she as breastfed as well. I's mother finally came from Poland to visit when S was about 6 - 8 months old. She said "That baby's hungry! Feed him some cereal!" Being a good daughter who didn't want to pick a fight with her mother, she gave S some cereal. S stopped crying. He was hungry. I may be wrong, but I think it might be worth a shot to give him something more to fill him up and put him down to sleep. Don't get yourself tugged into having him sleep only with you. That's not what anyone needs. Everyone needs to sleep. He needs to learn to sleep on his own. While I wrote this, I realized that my niece, who was breastfed and is a member of La Leche League herself, was also a hungry baby. She was born at 10 pounds (!) and her mom started adding cereal when she was about 3 months. It calmed her down and got her to sleep. I'm not sure what else you may be supplementing feeding with, because you don't say. But, it can't hurt to try to fill him up and see how it goes. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
