First off...yay for nursing!  I nursed all 3 of my children and will hopefully be able to nurse our fourth. 
I think all of mine had gone through this and basically did the same as everyone else and pumped.  Just be sure to start with the other side the next time. 
I did have a manual pump but had a really hard time figuring out how to get it to work!  I don't think I ever got anything out.  I rented from the hospital...they have the big time electric ones and it was great.  I don't know where you are located but it was really reasonable in price to rent.  I had to buy a kit for $10 that attached to the electric pump.  It was very quick!
I know if you go on to the Medela website they have local contacts and they can help you in finding other hospitals/agencies who rent.
Good Luck!

hi there-
just had my second - son: 9 lbs 7 oz - last tuesday.
i am nursing and he seems to be doing well.
the only thing is that i am only able to nurse on one side before he falls asleep (to the point where i cant wake him) or is finished. between 7am and 11pm i nurse on demand without waiting longer than 2 hours between feedings. At night it is by demand, but i wont wake him unless it approaches 4 hours between feedings. this is the schedule i was advised to follow until he returns to his original birth weight. is there any risk to my milk production if i just nurse on one side each feeding (rotating from left to right and back each time) instead of splitting the time half and half to use both sides? i know the last of the milk is the richest in nutrition...
if you know about this, i would appreciate your thoughts.
thanks!

The problem with pumping is your body will make more milk than your baby
acutally needs.
If you are feeding on demand (which is excellent) then nurse a little
bit on both sides just to releive the pressure. The moving around an
readjusting will help keep little one awake and it's ok to not empty the
breasts.
I successfully breast fed 3 children for 2 1/2 years each, and every
time I pumped it confused my body into making way more milk than I
needed, and if you feed the baby the pumped milk then your body gets
confused and stops producing for that meal that the baby is missing
naturally.
Just nurse your baby. If you are able to stay home and nurse, do it. It
is the best thing you can ever do for your child. If you have to go to
work and must pump then be sure you keep up the production and pump with
a good double pumper and nurse your baby every time you get a chance.
I wish you the best!
Stephanie

As long as you nurse on the other breast the next time you feed him. (Example, if youre using the right breast, he falls asleep, then at next feeding start with the left)

ITS WHAT YOU DO, NOT WHAT YOU SAY

Yay! I'm so glad your nursing!! I have nursed 3 of my children and have also had the same problem. Everyone told me to pump as well. I have tried a manual pump on all three of mine but have never been able to pump anything. I did rent an electric pump from the hospital...this was one of the hospital grades and was great! You may have better luck with the manual pump but I could just never figure it out.
You may want to also go to a great website the lactation consultant recommended:
http://www.kellymom.com
Good Luck!

I nursed both of my kids for almost a year each one side at a time. Your
body will adjust within a short time (at least mine did). I clipped a
safety pin to my bra strap to remind me of which side to use next feeding.

Good luck!

If you have a breathing treatment give him 1 n saline on a qtip rub in his nose then use a bulb n suck his snot out. Even a hot steam from a shower 4 10 minutes help. Sit in the bathroom with him outside the shower with the door close n that helps

Good luck

Hi
In India, for congested nose, we use to put small drop of Cow-Ghee as a home remedy.
Also we do provide warm therapy. (To use bearable dry hot cotton warming up therapy on babie's forehead, chest.).

Hello Dear
 
M Priyanka from Mumbai (India) and there's some tips for your baby's cold..
 
Your baby's cold will go away on its own. But there are a few things you can do to ease his discomfort:

Make sure your baby gets plenty of rest.

Encourage your baby to take extra breast or bottel feeds. If your baby is formula_fed or on solids he can have water too. This will keep him hydrated and bring down his  fever if he has one.

Your baby will be too young to blow his own nose. So help him to breathe more easily by wiping his nose for him. You can also dab a little petroleum jelly to the outside of your baby's nostrils to reduce any irritation.

Give your baby infant paracetamol or ibuprofen to bring down his fever, but only if he is three months or older. Check the dosage information on the packet, or ask your doctor or pharmacist if you're unsure about how much to give your baby.

If your baby is having trouble feeding with a stuffy nose, nasal saline drops may help to unblock his nose. You can buy these from your pharmacy. Apply the drops to each nostril 15 minutes before a feed.

A vapour rub may help your baby to breathe more easily . You can buy one from your pharmacy. Apply it to his chest and back – don't put it on his nostrils as it could restrict his breathing.

Breathing in steam may help to loosen your baby's stuffy nose (Arroll 2008). However, don't put your baby close to hot, steamy water as there is a risk of him being scalded . A safer option is to take your baby into the bathroom with you. Turn on the hot water or shower, close the door, and sit in the steamy room for a few minutes . Remember to change him into dry clothes afterwards.
If your baby has a stuffy nose without any other symptoms, check that he doesn't have something stuck in his nose. Even young babies are capable of putting things up there.

Don't give your baby any over-the-counter cough and cold medicines. They should not be given to children under six because of the risk of side effects.
 
Take Care
Priyanka

My pediatrician also recommends saline spray (we like little noises brand because there are no additives. Humidifiers are also great for when they are sleeping. Hope he feels better soon!

I've used homeopathic tinctures recommended by our pediatrician with my under 2yrs children. Her advice worked so well for our family that in the last few yrs between 5 children we've had 0 sick visits, only wellness checkups.

Wishgarden, Nature's Sunshine, and Hyland's all have remedies for children that have worked fabulous with no side effects. I wish I'd known about this with my first 2 children.

I recommend googling those brands or stopping in a local Vitamin Cottage or Whole Foods where you can discuss it with their trained staff.

Our pediatrician advises against all conventional medicines (robitussin, dimeatapp, tylenol cold etc.) as she says they are full of sugars, alcohol, dyes, chemical preservatives that will depress a child's immune system and prolong getting well.

I would suggest contacting a lactation consultant or your local La Leche League leader.
