As I said in my last post, night waking is normal. What concerns me is
that the baby is not having several bm's per day, as is normal at this
age. Are you pregnant? Can you tell me what your milk supply was
like up until now? It is not uncommon for moms who have had a
previous overuspply to have a sudden drop at about 4 months. Unless
you have diabetes or are on meds for certian conditiosn, it would be
fine to add some pumping and fenugreek to increase your supply.
(Occassionally, moms are sensitive to fenugreek-when this is the
case, other herbs are available). Unless you are giving her solids, food
allergies from foods you are eating could also be playing a role.
