my gal also have, very fierce angry rashes. I applied calendula cream no use, steroids prescribed by PD also no use, some say it's eczema, some say it's jus drool rash. Anyway, key thing is to continuously wipe it with wet cloth and apply either emulsifying lotion or vaseline petroleum jelly. It works for me, now slowly the rashes subside altho still got abit.

my La Leche leader told me the info on "iron depletion" is overrated. BF babies still get iron from their mommy's BM unless the mommy is severely anaemic (iron shortage). Otherwise, a baby's mahor nutrition source is still BM, the solids is just for exploration of textures, taste and practice up till they're 1yr old.

kitsune/precious moments
my gal also same. Sometimes even sneakily wants to put her thumb into her mouth while latching on. I was doing some readings, then realised why suddenly so funny, got something additional. Now got to hold her other free hand while latching.
kitsune When they pull off, it doesnt mean they're not hungry anymore, sometimes it could jus mean her curiousity got the better of her and distracted her (whatever that was holding her attention). So we have to keep offering, or take her to a quiet room and contd to BF. If she doesnt get proper food during day, night time will wake up to make up for her lost feed! I also read, that by 6months old, babies suddenly discovered they can be mobile, so they "forgot" to eat, so we have to remind them and occasionally take them away from all the stimulation and feed them.
