@@jailasp7007 Are you giving formula at every feeding? If so, how much? Have you started this process? If so, how much less formula is baby needing? How old is baby? The term “emptying the breast” is very misleading. When your breast breastfeeding, your breasts are never actually empty. They always have more drops to give. The milk is not stored in your breast, it’s produced while younurse or pump. When your breasts feel full, that’s engorgement. Engorgement is swelling/inflammation.

@ I am supplementing because baby lost some weight when he was 5 weeks old and I had a mastitis that killed my supply. I supplement with my milk and with formula, approx 2-3 oz per feeding after offering both breasts, and then I express. Not sure if my supply has increased, baby is now 8 w old. Would it be possible to recover the supply? I wonder if baby is not really sucking well although the latch is very good. Sometimes (and lately) I feel a deeper suction, I wonder if it should always be like that. Thanks

@@jailasp7007 I know that feedings will take a long time if you give just half of the formula, feed from both breasts again, then back to formula if baby seems hungry. Only you can decide if this is something that will work for you. It will be a lot of work for a while. Are there some feedings (maybe morning) that baby is satisfied with the breast only?

@@Pam836 some babies don’t want or need solids until closer to 12 months. How many wet diapers is baby having every 24 hours? Have you seen baby’s doctor La? How’s baby’s weight gain?

@@rosea164 If you’d like to become pregnant soon, it can help to be irregular with breastfeeding for a few days. If you can skip one nursing session each day at different times of the day, this can tell your body to be ovulating again. If you have some stored milk, you can give that to baby with a cup or bottle. If you feel engorged, you should pump but at 7 months you’ll probably not have a problem with engorgement. Just do this for a few days (5 to 7 days). Then go back to regular breastfeeding. ❤️

@marycahillclc Thank you so much! I will try this

@@pamelanebre1456 Will baby take the bottle at all? If it’s the formula taste that baby doesn’t like, you can slowly add (premixed) formula with breastmilk.❤️ What tips in the video have helped or not?

@@lizrodriguez466 Can you tell me any of her weights so far? Birth, and anything after. Is this your first baby? If not, how was breastfeeding before this? Has baby had any latching issues? Do you have a forceful letdown?

@ her weight was 6.8 at birth and now it is 6.4 . I only breastfeed my other three kids for 1 week. I thought my milk was low in supply. She was 💩 each day and had 6 wet diaper. She did at first have a had time. I don’t think so, I use the Hakka on the breast for the let down.

@@lizrodriguez466 7 weeks old and 6 lbs 4 ounces. Correct? What has her doctor said? Her weight definitely needs to be followed by her doctor. Having poops every day (though it can be normal for some babies over 1 month to not poop every day) and 6 or more wet diapers every day shows that she’s getting enough to eat. I usually only see those things when mom has a forceful letdown/over supply. When mom has this condition, baby will often be extra gassy and seem hungry all the time. They are often misdiagnosed as having a lip/tongue tie. Baby will often bite down to control the flow. That causes the lipstick shaped nipple. Tell me how you use the Haakaa.

@ yes that’s correct. Her doctor said she want her to gain weight and to start pumping and giving her the bottle to know how much she taking because breast-feeding her only she doesn’t know how much she’s taking in. I use the Haaka by putting it on the opposite side that I’m not feeding her for my letdown. She does seem gassy as she does poop every day at least once or twice. So starting yesterday I started to put her in the breast first then bottle feed her and also pumping, but I only get 1 or 2 oz.

@@lizrodriguez466 We can know for sure that baby is getting at least 24 ounces, every 24 hours if she’s having 6 or more wet diapers every 24 hours. Your doctor may not understand that but it’s best to work with your doctor and follow her guidance. Getting 1 to 2 ounces in a Haakaa at 7 weeks, is an excellent amount of milk. It can be normal for most moms only see drops at this point when they pump. Especially with the Haakaa. Do you have a lactation counselor near by that you can see in person? That would be best to help you figure this out. 🥰

@@mickeymouse2456 Dr Hale is the leading researcher on medications in mother’s milk. He says that it is an L3. That means that it is probably ok if used when needed and for a short period of time. Here’s his report on it SENNA LAXATIVES Trade Senokot Category Laxative L3 - Limited Data-Presumed Compatible DRUG LAST UPDATED: MAY 8, 2020 Senna is a potent, proven laxative. Anthraquinones, its key ingredient, are believed to increase bowel activity due to secretion of anthraquinones into the colon. Side effects such as abdominal cramping and colic are unpredictable with homemade varieties of this plant. Most sources recommend taking a standardized formulation commonly available. This product is only recommended for short use, such as 10 days. Do not use for intestinal obstruction, or appendicitis, or abdominal pain of unknown origin. Senna laxatives are occasionally used in postpartum women to alleviate constipation. In one study of 23 women who received Senokot (100 mg containing 8.602 mg of sennosides A and B), no sennoside A or B was detectable in their milk.[1] Of 15 mothers reporting loose stools, two infants had loose stools.

@@MySensoria it’s very normal for your breasts to feel flat and empty by now. Breastmilk is made while baby nurses or you pump. Breastmilk is not stored in your breasts. When it feels like it’s stored there, that is actually inflammation/swelling of the breast tissue. Your baby is almost 4 months old, correct? Have you needed to give formula before now? On those five wet diapers, does at least one of those wet diapers feel heavy? If it does that can definitely be counted as two wet diapers. You can pump but the very best way to increase or maintain your milk supply is by having baby at the breast as long and as often as possible . Babies will be extra fussy in the evening because they’re overly tired or overly stimulated or just not feeling well. It hurts to grow so quickly. This fussiness in the evenings can make moms believe that their supply is low when it really is not. If baby seems satisfied after morning feedings, but not at night, this can let you know that your supply is fine and baby is just not feeling well in the evening. This extra fussy time can last a few days or a week at a time, but then usually gets better For a time. What sort of doctor made the diagnosis that baby has a lip and tongue tie? Are you having pain when baby is nursing? Do you know if you have a forceful letdown? Does baby choke while feeding her the breast?

@ Thank you very much for the information. Yes, my baby is about 4 months old. When my breasts are full it seems like it is easier for my baby to nurse. Otherwise she gets fussy and shakes her head. Sometimes I do feel pain while nursing, specially when nursing session takes more than 30 minutes. After that my nipple looks like a lipstick. And the session would be ended by me, not by baby pushing the nipple. Because baby would not suckle, my nipple is just in her mouth. I don’t think I have oversupply. After I bottle feed her she was finally able to fall asleep after feeding. On the other hand, when I breast feed her, she’d fall asleep while nursing as if she was tired more than as if she was full. I assume she doesn’t get the hind milk not that often? Then she would take a nap on my laps until I burp her. That’s why I want to pump my milk and give my baby the whole nutrition. But she poops almost every day. With poop diapers it is about or more than 6. A pediatrician has diagnosed her at three months. The tongue tie is not that bad, according to the doc. At 6 months she would take a look at my baby. Would you suggest single pump or full automatic pump? The price is very different. Whatever pump I choose I’d like to power pump to increase my supply. Because my baby still nurses every 2-3 hours not 3-4 hours as I hoped.

@ also when I try have my baby on my breast as long as possible, her gassiness gets worse and she spits up. So for me it is kinda dilemma, whether it is good thing or bad thing to have her on my breast that long ..

@@charlenestokes1348 You would see signs all along if you have a forceful letdown/over supply. And you will have it with every baby if you have it. When mom has a FL/OS, babies will sometimes be higher in weight but they are most often, low weight gainers. Do you believe that you have a FL/OS? In general, babies can go through a time of lower weight gain for a few weeks. You do want to have your doctor watch it but it can be normal for that baby. If baby is always having 6 or more wet diapers every 24 hours, you know they’re getting enough.❤️

@@sidrasalman4683 Is the doctor an allergist? Did they do tests or just check stool for traces of blood? Do you have a forceful letdown/over supply? What did your doctor recommend to do?

@@margemellow5022 Our milk supply is never stable on its own. If you don’t move milk, your body gets a message that you’re not wanting much milk. If you want to fully breastfeed her when you’re home, you will need to be pumping at work. Remember this phrase. “If something goes into baby, something should come out of me” You can skip the pumping at work but in a week or two, there will start to be a drop. If you don’t want to pump at work, you can partially formula feed at home too but it’s important to stay consistent on times that you feed formula. Feed formula at those times of day that baby received while you were at work. If you give formula at random times and are nursing or pumping at different times every day, your body will think that you need less. When you’re combination feeding, you might worry that your supply is too low but just remember to count wet diapers. If you always see 6 or more wet diapers every 24 hours, baby is getting enough. ❤️

@@psyched3lic347 That’s very normal. It can be day 5 to 7 before seeing mature milk. In those first days we have colostrum. It’s a small amount but very beneficial when possible.

@@evaorbuch90 Yes, it’s usually best to pump both sides if you are doing a pump in place of a feeding from the breast. BUT… if you’re pumping to relieve some engorgement on one side, it’s good to pump just that side but don’t over pump. Pump just enough to be comfortable. You can add fresh breastmilk with frozen ONLY if you will be feeding that to baby immediately. Then that mixed amount needs to be discarded with in an hour. If you’re not sure that baby will drink it all, I wouldn’t mix it. I would just feed one then the other. ❤️

Please let me b know what can be done i would like to breast feed as much as possible

@@asraahmed7218 how was pregnancy and delivery? Did you have a c section or long delivery? Those things can cause baby to retain water and weigh more at birth. This can then look like a higher than normal weight loss. Breastfed babies can loose up to 10% of their birth weight and it can take up to 3 weeks for baby to return to birth weight.

@@emvrrd I’m so sorry mommy. Being consistent but no stress in the key to moving past a nursing strike. Since that happened with your older baby, I’m wondering if you might have a forceful letdown /over supply??

@@lacygill9969 I’m actually making a video about that today 🥰 but… it won’t probably post for a week or so. How old is baby? Do you exclusively feed from the breast at home? How many ounces are you pumping per hour while you are away from baby? And how long are usually away from baby? I’m not a fan of a wearable pump unless a mom has a forceful letdown/over supply. If you pump it all you need to add lots of breast massage for stimulation to make enough breastmilk. If you’re using a wearable pump, you just have to be sure that you’re taking the time to do lots and lots of breast massage and some breast compressions while you’re pumping. You should be pumping about one to 1 1/2 ounces an hour while you’re away from baby. So you should be seeing about 8 to 12 ounces pumped if you are away from baby for eight hours. Often moms will tell me that their baby takes in much more than that. If baby were feeding directly from the breast, they wouldn’t be taking in as much because the bottle just pours out into baby’s mouth. But the time baby realizes that they’re full they have actually over eaten . It won’t hurt baby to over eat but it’s a wasted amount. Sometimes it’s nearly impossible for Mom to pump out that extra amount to be wasted. ❤️

@@aronmaraka2063 That’s awful! I’m sorry that happened. Some people (women included) just don’t know or understand breastfeeding and breastfeeding in public. When possible, I think it’s best to educate people on breastfeeding. Yes it’s a natural thing but sometimes that’s not enough for someone to understand. They should know that breastfed babies eat much more often and usually take longer to eat. Also, I wish that more people understood that a mom and baby have a legal right to breastfeed wherever they are. ❤️

breastfeeding and breastfeeding in public should not be separate things.

@@ds7747 If she’s taking breastmilk from a bottle but just doesn’t like formula, you can mix breastmilk with formula so she’ll get used to it. If she doesn’t like a bottle at all, watch through the video for tips and tricks. Baby may not take a bottle from parents but will from someone else.

@@YeseniaGarcia-iw3ty congratulations! You can choose to wean or continue breastfeeding. Your son will probably be near 2 when baby is born. He’ll probably not be nursing as often by then but he might want to nurse more often when he sees baby nurse. In the first week, I would nurse baby first at a feeding then you can choose to nurse one at a time or both at the same time. Some moms worry that older baby will be jealous but most moms tell me that they seem to bond more because they are sharing mom. ❤️

@marycahillclc thank you for the advice yes my mom tells me that he's going to be extremely jealous and tells me that I'm going to be anemic that I've heard that's not all true thanks for the reinsurance and yes they are going to be exactly 2 years apart with my first one it was found out January the 4th and my due date was September 3rd and I found out this year on January the 6th on my due date is September 3rd exactly 2 years apart I am a bit nervous, but thank you for the reassurance ♥️

@@Kimacho ❤️ Many moms feel like they’re not making enough because they are providing “just enough”. We have to remind ourselves that “just enough” is PERFECT! 🥰 Our bodies are amazing! I know that it’s our reaction to want more than perfection.🤷‍♀️ Mothers milk tea is popular and you can definitely try it but for me, I see it as a placebo affect for most moms. This can hurt a mom’s supply if she’s just waiting to see an increase in supply. Those 3 keys are what works. Here’s a link to read more on Moringa. There are different study findings. And there are possible health risks. www.drugs.com/breastfeeding/moringa.html As far as I know, Omeprazole isn’t know to decrease supply. Always be sure to tell your doctor that you are breastfeeding. Here’s what Dr Hale’s research on it says. Omeprazole is a potent inhibitor of gastric acid secretion. In a study of one patient receiving 20 mg omeprazole daily, the maternal serum concentration was negligible until 90 minutes after ingestion and then reached 950 nM at 240 min.[1] The breast milk concentration of omeprazole began to rise minimally at 90 minutes after ingestion and peaked after 180 minutes at only 58 nM, or less than 7% of the highest serum level. This would indicate a maximum dose of 3 µg/kg/day in a breastfed infant. Omeprazole milk levels were essentially flat over 4 hours of observation. Omeprazole is extremely acid labile with a half-life of 10 minutes at pH values below 4.[2] Virtually all omeprazole ingested via milk would probably be destroyed in the stomach of the infant prior to absorption. Adult Concerns Headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, flatulence, changes in liver and renal function, anemia. Adult Dose 20 mg twice daily. Pediatric Concerns No complications reported from milk currently, but does not exclude potential risk. Infant Monitoring Unlikely to be absorbed while dissolved in milk due to instability in acid.

@@Kimacho are you pumping to store milk or to be away from baby at times? When occasionally pumping, it can be normal to see only drops as time goes on. After 4 to 6 weeks postpartum, our milk regulates to just what baby needs / just what baby takes out. If you need to be away from baby, it’s best to pump while you’re away and at around the same times that baby eats. If you would like to pump for some stored milk, you need to consistently pump with lots of breast massage and at the same time, every day.

@@lizrodriguez466 Most moms can drink coffee and it won’t cause a problem for baby. Some babies get a little fussy and have a hard time sleeping because some of the caffeine does come through our breast milk. I would limit it to just occasionally or 1 or 2 cups a day maximum. There is some evidence that iron levels are slightly reduced in breastmilk of moms who have caffeine. If you’re feeling tired and need a coffee for energy, drinking a little more water is very helpful. I personally love my coffee too. lol Some moms even say that caffeine increases supply but that’s not been shown in research to be true🤷‍♀️ I’ll add some screen shots for you here. This is from Dr Hale who is the leading researcher on medication effects on breastmilk.

Shoot! It’s not let me add the screen shots 😩

@@marycahillclc oh 😥 no. Thank you Mary.

@ Ok. Here I just copied the text 😎 Caffeine is a naturally occurring CNS stimulant present in many foods and drinks. While the half-life in adults is 4.9 hours, the half-life in neonates is as high as 97.5 hours. The half-life decreases with age to 14 hours at 3-5 months and 2.6 hours at 6 months and older. The average cup of coffee contains 100-150 mg of caffeine depending on preparation and country of origin. Peak levels of caffeine are found in breastmilk 60-120 minutes after ingestion. In a study of five patients following an ingestion of 150 mg caffeine, peak concentrations of caffeine in serum ranged from 2.39 to 4.05 µg/mL and peak concentrations in milk ranged from 1.4 to 2.41 mg/L with a milk/serum ratio of 0.52.[1] The average milk concentration at 30, 60, and 120 minutes post dose was 1.58, 1.49, and 0.926 mg/L, respectively. In another study of seven breastfeeding mothers who consumed 750 mg caffeine/day for 5 days, and were 11-22 days postpartum, the average milk concentration was 4.3 mg/L.[2] Values ranged significantly from undetectable to 15.7 mg/L. The mean concentration of caffeine in sera of the infants on day 5 was 1.4 µg/mL (range undetectable to 2.8 µg/mL). In two patients whose milk levels were 13.4 and 28 mg/L, the respective infant serum levels were 0.25 and 3.2 µg/mL. In a study of six breastfeeding mothers who received one dose of 100 mg orally, peak levels (Cmax) in maternal serum ranged from 0.5 to 1 hour and 0.75 to 2 hours in milk.[3] The maternal plasma Cmax ranged from 3.6 to 6.15 µg/mL, while the Cmax for their milk ranged from 1.98 to 4.3 mg/L. The average concentration of caffeine in milk was 2.45 mg/L at 1 hour. The average milk/plasma ratio (AUC) was 0.812 for both breasts. This elegant study shows that caffeine rapidly enters milk and that the decay of caffeine in milk is similar to that of plasma. In infants from 4 to 7 kg body weight, the estimated dose to the infant would be 1.77 to 3.10 mg/d following a 100 mg maternal dose. In a group of mothers who ingested from 35 to 336 mg of caffeine daily, the level of caffeine in milk ranged from 2.09 to 7.17 mg/L.[4] The author estimates the dose to infant is at 0.01 to 1.64 mg/d or 0.06% to 1.5% of the maternal dose. An interesting review of the nutritional effects of caffeine ingestion on infants is provided by Nehlig.[5] There is some evidence that chronic coffee drinking may reduce the iron content of milk. Irritability and insomnia may occur and have been reported.[6] Occasional use of caffeine is not contraindicated, but persistent, chronic use may lead to high plasma levels in the infant particularly during the neonatal period.

@@Shay2020. Pumping moms get extra gold stats from me because pumping is a lot of extra work. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️ You did an amazing job mommy! ❤️ Your situation would be a great video for me to do. 24 ounces every 24 hours is on average, what an exclusively breastfed baby who is eating from the breast takes in. ❤️ Your next thought is probably: “My baby was still hungry”. Here’s a couple of things to understand: Paced Feeding is usually needed for babies who are receiving breastmilk from a bottle. This is a method of slowing down a feeding to mimic breastfeeding. I’ll link a video here for you. When baby eats at the breast, they usually take several minutes longer to eat. Moms who feed directly from the breast, don’t know that baby is taking in just 24 ounces a day. When baby eats quickly from a bottle, they take in more than they need or want. You can’t over feed your baby. Giving extra to baby (when not Pace Fed) will just be wasted. Baby’s body will pee, poop or spit it out. Though a pumping mom’s body, often can’t keep up with that extra amount taken in. The evening feedings often get stressful for moms who pump AND for moms who chest feed. Baby will cluster feed and be very fussy. They may seem hungry but aren’t. They are either, overly tired, over stimulated or just hurting all over. It’s painful to grow so quickly. This is a time of day that Paced Feeding is really important. We do want to be sure that baby is getting enough. The way that we know that baby is taking in enough is by counting wet diapers. As long as baby is having 6 or more wet diapers every 24 hours and is growing well, you know that baby is getting enough. Exclusively breastfed babies will take in that 24 ounces every 24 hours, from the time they are one month to six months old. From 6 to 12 months some baby stay around that amount and some will take in a few more ounces a day. I know that that sounds crazy That a growing baby wouldn’t be taking in more but breast milk is just utilize differently and more completely in baby’s body as they age. Formula fed babies need more and more as they age because their body doesn’t absorb as much of those nutrients so they need more. Formula fed babies usually poop more often and have much larger poops. It’s good, when possible, for mom to increase milk supply to 2 or 3 ounces extra a day to store incase there is an emergency need for extra milk. The very best way to increase supply when pumping is to add lots and lots of breast massage. I’ll link a video on that here too. I hope all of that makes sense. We don’t know, what we don’t know. The internet and doctors (and sometimes even lactation counselors) don’t understand this. We see babies who are formula fed and compare breastmilk feeding to that but it’s so different. ❤️ Paced Feeding th-cam.com/video/NIDWewaslOQ/w-d-xo.html Pumping Moms With Low Milk Supply th-cam.com/video/_of4OTnOubc/w-d-xo.html

@ Lots of people taste their breastmilk. No big deal 😎. Most say that it’s a little sweet but it can change from day to day. If you eat something strong like onions or garlic, it might taste like that. If mom becomes pregnant, it will usually taste salty. As long as baby is good with it ❤️

@@JanelleHouser morning feeds are always going to be the hardest. Have you watched my 3 part video series on Forceful letdown/over supply? I’ll link it here incase you haven’t. There are so many details to know and understand with your condition. Breastfeeding rules won’t apply for you, many can make things worse. Whatever you do, it has to be done slowly. You will need to slowly transition to a block feeding. It’s important to keep pumping to a minimum BUT pump enough to keep your engorgement at a minimum. You may have to wake in the night for a while to pump a little. Then apply cold compresses. It’s going to be good if you can feed on one side only, but you’ll still (and maybe occasionally in the future) need to pump on the side not nursed on. Over time it will become less engorged. Check out these videos and tell me what you think. The first video will just help you to know the signs that you see are caused by OS/ FL. Then the 2nd video will help you to get it under control. It does take time, so be patient. Forceful Letdown and Oversupply th-cam.com/play/PLbqc4bXQcbyUzyNxG-w7tBtKLWA3NpzLe.html

@@dr.roopasree hi mommy! I’m sorry that things have been rough. How old is baby now? Baby has never latched well without the shield correct? When you were having pain with the shield on, was the pain just while nursing or did it still hurt between feedings? When baby did latch well, that shows us that baby can latch. Babies can go into a nursing strike. This can happen when baby and mom are stressed during a feeding. Being forced can be stressful for some babies. Have you pumped breastmilk? If so, about how much do you get per pumping?

@@JusticePhoenix hi mommy! Was your milk supply good in the first month? Did you need to supplement then? When you pump 10 to 15 mils, is that soon after baby nursed or has it been a couple of hours. Is baby content with breastfeeding in the morning but not in the afternoon or evening?

@marycahillclc my milk supply was not enough in the first month as well.. baby sometimes seems content with my milk supply in the morning but never in the evening. Actually, the baby mostly slept on my lap in the first month whenever i tried to feed, i wud try to wake her up but failed everytime and then when i wud put her down in her cot, she wud cry.

@@JusticePhoenix I have a couple of videos for you to watch. They can help to increase supply but if you didn’t have milk in the first weeks, you probably won’t be able to fully breastfeed. I’m not completely sure that you won’t be able to fully breastfeed. If possible, it would be good for you to meet with a local lactation counselor. Quite often babies will be fussy in the evening because they are overly tired, over stimulated or hurting from growing so quickly. This can look like low supply but not actually be. If baby seems satisfied in the morning and afternoon but not in the evening, it’s usually a sign that supply is good. It’s important that you always see 6 or more wet diapers every 24 hours. If you are pumping after a feeding and getting just 10 to 15mls, this is very normal. If you are pumping that amount in place of a feeding, that is low. Check out these videos to help with supply and let me know if you have questions.

@marycahillclc thank u.. will check theze vids

@@leenavasaikar6305 yes. I have a video for you that I’ll link here but can you give me some details? How old is baby? What are the signs that have shown you the that your supply is low? Tell me all about your breastfeeding journey so far. ❤️ Increasing Your Milk Supply and Weaning off of Formula th-cam.com/video/S3DSN2Dwf5M/w-d-xo.html

@@ItsJustAConversation ❤️ it’s still better than formula because the nutrients are more completely absorbed by baby but those immunological properties are mostly depleted. 😩

@@chaithrahsshivanna2507 so sorry mommy😢. Follow the steps in the video. It’s very important to offer the breast at every feeding but to stop right away when baby starts to fuss. It’s important that you and baby do not get upset. Do you know if you have a forceful letdown/over supply? When a mom has this condition it will often cause baby to have reflux and it can quite often cause baby to go into a nursing strike. If that might be the case, then I need to get you some information on that.❤️ If you haven’t heard of forceful letdown/overly before. Here’s my three part video series on the condition. If you’ll watch the first video, it will help you to decide if you have this condition. Forceful Letdown and Oversupply th-cam.com/play/PLbqc4bXQcbyUzyNxG-w7tBtKLWA3NpzLe.html

Even he is refusing feed spoon bottle etc . I'm just doing dream feeding Plz let me kn for retain my baby to breast feed again How can I overcome from his afraid

@@chaithrahsshivanna2507 dream feeding is prefect! Offer the breast at each feeding without being forceful. Watch the video to help you to better see the steps. ❤️

Shall I stop feeding for two days when he fully wakeup so that he forget that he has afraid of the feeding possition. Is it ok? He afraid now I need forget him that situation

@ I wouldn’t do that. I think that it would make it worse. He doesn’t need to forget that he’s afraid, he just needs to get used to it slowly and without pressure. If you were afraid of something, (like maybe animal or driving a car), you will start to get comfortable with it, if you are around it a lot but without being pressured. I hope that makes sense. ♥️
