Some babies with allergies or food sensitivities exhibit fussy nursing behavior.

What is the most important part of breastfeeding?
In the first days of breastfeeding, a mother releases colostrum. Colostrum is a thick milk that often has a yellow color. Sometimes it is referred to as “liquid gold” because of the color and its value to your baby. Mom makes only a small amount of colostrum, so it’s important for baby to drink all that he can.
Is breastfeeding the second time easier?
The women produced significantly more milk with their second babies than with their first. And surprisingly, the women who had the most trouble with milk production the first time had the greatest jump in milk production with their second baby. Another plus, breastfeeding took less time for the second baby.
What is a good breastfeeding schedule?
In the first few weeks of life, breastfeeding should be “on demand” (when your baby is hungry), which is about every 1-1/2 to 3 hours. As newborns get older, they’ll nurse less often, and may have a more predictable schedule. Some might feed every 90 minutes, whereas others might go 2–3 hours between feedings.

Can embarrassment take a walk?
Embarrassment can take a walk, I thought. I knew in three weeks we were going to conduct another seminar, and we had invited the same firm. It was my moment of redemption. I could rehearse my presentation, learn it, and show up sober to deliver the talk and that’s what I did. Three weeks later, I went to deliver the talk.
