[quote=Anonymous]This is what my first child was like. It was like what my second baby was like until I eliminated dairy products from my diet.

Others may have different experiences, and this may not be what is happening to your babies-- there are SO many early issues that can be nursing-related, like foremilk/hindmilk imbalance and so forth, esp. with first babies-- but as soon as I cut out dairy, the poops diminished greatly (although newborns still poop around the clock, often for the first 2+ months), as did crying.

Hang in there. It might interest you to know that in major studies of infant crying, the majority of parents assumed the crying was due to hunger or tummy aches, but these typically were not the reasons. And that in traditional cultures, babies often nurse at maximum every 13 minutes or so, but much more frequently than baby books tell us to expect or encourage. You may not like it, and that's fine-- do what you need to do, pacifier- or supplementing-wise. But the frequent desire to suckle does seem like an inborn human trait.[/quote]
