I am 17 years old and I am 5'1 with 34 DDD breasts. I have had overly large breasts since I was in the 6th grade, and as you can imagine, I have been ridiculed ever since.
However, the emotional aspect isn't so much a problem anymore. It is the physical problems, back pain, shoulder and neck ache, rashes...... So I have been going through the motions to get breast surgery. I have a few questions though:
How far down can I go? Can I be reduced to a full B or a conservative C from my large size?
I am about 140 lbs, so average for my height and age ( though still not exactly healthy) Should I be losing weight? Would that effect the outcome?
I have had problems with my insurance. Does anyone have ideas of surefire ways to get this surgery covered?
Anything else would be greately appreciated!!!Breast reduction: tips, ideas, advice, etc.?
APPEAL with the insurance company. Don't stop until they give in. If you have back pain or other health issues, make sure your doctors also send in letters to the insurance company.
And since you are a healthy weight, do not lose weight to lose in your breast, as that may not do anything since breasts are not just fat, but dense breast tissue that will not go away with weight loss.Breast reduction: tips, ideas, advice, etc.?
You need to have your doctor document your health problems. Once your doctor documents these problems and establishes that the these afflictions (chronic back pain, inability to sit in class or complete normal tasks, recurrent shoulder pain, etc) are affecting your quality of life then he/she might be able to convince the insurance company that it is medically necessary.
Before having this procedure research the pros/cons of of the procedure and then talk with a doctor that specializes in breast reduction. There are potential complications that you need to be aware of.
Good luck.
I'm in the same boat as you !
I haven't gotten surgery yet, but I know a little so maybe it'll help.
From my knowledge, you can get reduced as much as you want. (C is average for the record).
If you lose weight, you're breast size will decrease slightly (breasts are mostly fat).
I don't know about insurance,
But just a little tidbit of information, I tried to get one at 16, and my doctor said it's best to wait until you're at least 18, because you're still growing.
Hope that helps.

I need tips and advice.(about a psycho yorkie)?
I'm taking care of my nephew (yorkie) for two weeks.
until the 29nth.
he's a 6-7 month old yorkie, male.
and I have a low self esteem 4 year old mix.
the issue is that the yorkie is a extremely territorial pup(and spoiled rotten..he always gets his way!)
and my dog is well a go-with-the-flow kinda dog that lets anyone and anything (except cats) do what they want with him...so much for a guard dog,
well he keeps attacking my dog in a very agresive way, he won't let my dog anywhere near the living room,
and if he grabs something that does not belong to him he bites you hard, my brother gave me advice but he can't be here all the time to correct him and my mom told me that he is my responsibility til december 29 .
whjat do I do?I need tips and advice.(about a psycho yorkie)?
well i have a spoiled yorkie and let me tell you that if you want him to behave threaten him to go to timeout such as his kennel(box) or pick him up wearing thick gardening gloves and take him to a room and close the door. I treat mine like a real kid. Do what you would do to a spoiled kid.I need tips and advice.(about a psycho yorkie)?
Have you tried a squirt bottle? When he behaves aggressively, give him a good squirt with the water. Or if you have some type of loud noisemaker, you can also use that to distract him when he acts badly.
When you aren't home, I would either crate him or shut him in another room to keep him away from your dog.
He does sound like a spoiled rotten pup, as many toy breeds end up being. When he goes back home, it would be a great idea if he was enrolled in an obedience class.

Any helpful tips or advice on dealing with a lot of stress?
So what are some things that help you feel less stressed out? I'm a full time college student, working part time, and in a serious relationship. I feel so overwhelmed by things and I just feel at a loss at the moment. I love my boyfriend to death and I just want to stop taking things out on him because I'm exhausted and stuff. I've tried so many things from massages, to shopping, to taking a day off work to give myself time, and tried exercising...yet all that didn't really help when it used to many, many times before. Thanks for your help.Any helpful tips or advice on dealing with a lot of stress?
Stress is something that is unfortunately unavoidable in a young person's life. You have so many things taking up your time and it does get hard to balance everything equally. My advice would be to try and reduce any unnecessary tasks that you really don't need to be doing. It could free up some time for you to rest. Also, talking to a therapist could put things into perspective for you if you feel really overwhelmed. Try talking to your boyfriend about things too, and let him know that you are dealing with a lot and you don't mean to be directing your anger at him :)Any helpful tips or advice on dealing with a lot of stress?
I've been there too! Eek. I know this sounds really really really stupid but here goes.
When I was diagnosed with depression and bi-polar disorder (and was already add, good lord) my doctor suggested a ';relaxation specialist.'; I know this sounds really dumb, but what he determined is that I multi-task all the time. All day every day, I'm doing multiple things at once.
I went, and it's not at all like a councilor. It was more like meditation. I can't meditate for anything, but this was very helpful. I had an hour long appointment every other week. She would turn on relaxing music, and I would basically lay in the dark listening to music.
I learned lots of things about breathing that can relax your body. I would do that there, just breath and lay still. I learned how to put things out of my mind, and focus on me for an hour.
It really really helped and I'd suggest it to anyone.
Therapy. It might sound a little off the wall but if you can afford it I suggest it. That way you can take everything out on the therapist and not your boyfriend.
get and take STRESSTABS with Iron and eat a healthy diet
you will see improvement in less than a month.

Any advice or tips?
make a wish first (like we do before blowing the birthday candles), like, hope it's not that bad and then follow some of the peoples' advice here.
Well, I got 4 of them out at the same time and after I woke up from anesthesia, I was in alot of pain but had to go to work at my new job later that night. The pain meds helped some, but mostly the ice packs helped the most. (Get a couple of them and alternate them in the freezer.) Just try to rest the next 2-3 days and don't eat right after surgery.
In addition to any good suggestions listed here, consider taking 3 Advil (or equivalent = 600 mg ibuprofen) one hour or so before your surgery. (Assuming that you are not allergic or otherwise unable to take ibuprofen...) This can really reduce the need for narcotic pain killers after the procedure.
Ask before you get them pulled if your doctor can presciribe a healthy liquid food diet (jello, pudding etc.). Also ask how long it will be before you can go back to your regular food that you eat and if the doctor can give you a strong dose of novicane or laughing gas because it will hurt alot after they're pulled. Also ask any questions you have before you get them pulled because afterwards you'll be pretty much out of it. When you go home, get lots of rest and keep your mouth numb with ice.
dont cry
just stay calm and do what he says and you will be fine good luck
Take the rest of the day off. no heavy excercise for a few days.
Take tylonol right after and rinse etc, as the dr. orders.
Then just take it easy , lay down,
Sometimes its not as bad as everyone says.
Ice cream gives you those cold teeth feeling... so stay away from that... watch movies and hang out...
If you can, have him use nitrous oxide. You could care less what he does with that gas working on ya. WOOO HOOOO.
Get lots of pills for after even if you dont need them all, wink wink
good luck well get the pain killer medicine like vikadin(spelling?) or umm valium GET THE GAS IT IS SO WORTH IT. and the shots will reallly help so you can't feel a thing and umm the numbing gel and then after words it WILL HURT A LOT but just try not to talk and eat like shakes TREAT YOURSELF that will fade in a day or 2 trust me my mom is an orthodontist and i have had them pulled too GOOD LUCK REALLY GOOD LUCK!:) I'll pray for you
Wow, been there-done that. I had my lower ones taken out and I had the hardest time. I could not eat and had to keep rinsing the ';holes'; out with warm water and a syringe with a curved tip. Nonetheless. I got the procedure done 9-10-01 and woke up the next day 9/11 and thought I had taken too many pain drugs. Anyway, take your pain meds BEFORE the pain gets worse and it should keep it under control. Good Luck.
So your after some sound Dental Post Operative Treatment advice huh?
Good thing for you I browsed upon this question cause I was a Dental-man in the U.S. Navy! (1978-1981).
I rotated through about everything there was including Oral Surgery!
My best advice to you is too listen to your Oral Surgeon and closely scrutinize the Post Operative instruction sheet you will be provided upon your release!
Here's why.
After a tooth has been removed the extraction site has to form a blood clot. The instruction sheet provided upon your release will inform you of the do's and dont's to help insure the stability of the blood clot.
If the blood clot becomes dislodged you will find yourself beck at the surgeons office suffering from excruciating pain!
This is known in the world of Dentistry as a Dry Socket.
If a Dry Socket occurs it has to be packed with a long thin gauze soaked in a premixed solution. I see no need to get into the specific mixture involved other that to say the smell you will experience is terrible.
Here's what you can expect to read on the Post Operative Instructions that are of the utmost importance.
1. Do not drink through a straw for a 24 hour period as the suction created can dislodge the blood clot. As we discussed earlier, a definite no no.
2. No carbonated beverages because the carbonation may dislodge the blood clot.
3. No beverages that contain caffeine as caffeine tends to disrupt the clotting process.
4. No smoking!
It's all about the clotting process if you haven't already figured that out.
Last but not least. Drum rolllllllllllllllllllllllllll pleaseeeeeeeeeee!
Be sure that all medications are taken as prescribed. Make sure your Surgeon knows if you have any allergies or sensitivities meaning are you allergic to any medications.
This is important cause the last thing any Dentist wants to do is to have revive a patience during a routine office visit!

EVERY NOW AND AGAIN I CAN BUST A GOOD ONE!
I had three wisdom teeth taken out in 2002 (1 pulled, 2 cut out).
First, do not get put under for the procedure; this is in case the novocaine is not enough (they would then either give you more novocaine or a nerve block). I'm glad I didn't go under because I ended up with a nerve block on both sides.
The dentist will probably give you scrips for an antibiotic, a painkiller and an anti-inflammatory drug (I had amoxicillin, Vicodin and Decodrin). Take the pain pills and the anti-inflammatory at the same time - you will have to work out some kind of schedule for your meds to do this, but trust me about this.
If you have your teeth cut out, you will have stitches in your gums. It might be best if you sleep upright or at least almost upright in a chair (unless you can pull this off in your own bed). The stitches will pull and make it too uncomfortable to sleep. Actually, you might want to do this whether your teeth are cut out or not.
You will not be able to eat solid food for about a week, so eat instant mashed potatoes, soup, yogurt, pudding and Jello and drink plenty of liquids. You will have to eat food with your antibiotics as well.
Try not to talk for the first 24-48 hours after the procedure. This will be hard, but believe me, talking will create vibrations that will make the empty hole(s) hurt.
After that first week, gradually add more solid food to your diet until your diet is back to normal. Your gums will still be tender for a while.
It took me a week to recover from the procedure, but how long it takes you will depend on how fast you heal up from something like this. Don't be nervous and relax during your recovery (especially if you have someone taking care of you!).
Don't use a straw to drink stuff
Drugs--get the pain drugs.
Make sure you stock up on soft foods for tomorrow.
Don't eat anything hot or cold, as your nerves will be exposed and sensitive until your gums heal.
Pudding, applesauce, jello, mashed potatoes, milk, juice.. all of these things plus gatorade are your friends for the next 5 or 6 days or so.
Tea Bags can help soak up the blood, I know this sounds gross... but I've had 2 sets of oral surgeries.
Have frozen bags of peas in the freezer ready to apply to the sides of your face.
Sleep as much as you can the first 2 days while you heal.
Take the pain meds, but try to eat first, because they can cause nausea and vomiting which can hurt your teeth even worse.
Good luck to you
You will be feeling better in 1-2 weeks.cosmetics products

No styrup tips and advice??
i have already posted this question,,, but i obviously didnt make myself clear to sum people.( thanks for those who left helpful and kind comments much appriciated :))
i just wanted sum tips on how to sit deeply and not tense up.
to all those who said things along the lines of
''duh if u pannick with out styrups use your common sense and use sumj.
i wasnt asking for rudeness.
i can canter without them and ive been riding for years with a horse of my own.
i just wanted sum advise for a bouncy trot!!
kind people and helpfull answers very welcome thankyou :)
rude people please just dont even bother okay??No styrup tips and advice??
Many people have probs with a ';bouncey'; trot...It is tough to sit; particularly if you have a horse with a lot of drive from behind. Relax as much as you can and ';relax'; into the horse's movement. Close your eyes (if you're in an arena) and really try to ';feel'; the trot...let your lower spine (lumbar area) move with the horse....looks easier than it really is. I'd even suggest beginning at a slower jog trot and then begin to speed up as your able to follow the movement.
I cannot sit a bouncey trot as spinal problems keep me from it...very hard for me.
Anyway, practice and more practice....No styrup tips and advice??
wish i could help, but reading the other answers, i dont have anymore to add.
i have the same problem with my horse, and my back is rather rubbish now, so rising trot all the time for me,
when you get on the horse try to lean back so not to hurt his spine
styrups these should be fitted correctly to avoid injuring the horse

Fake tanning? Tips and advice?
I'd like to try using fake tan.
Could you give me some tips? Is it better to exfoliate first? Should you shave your legs before applying fake tan or after? Which products are best to use? How to avoid it looking ';fake';?
Any tips at all would be appreciated. :)Fake tanning? Tips and advice?
get one with an instant bronzer so you can see where exactly your applying in and if its even. leave it on for 8 hours then you can shower. they usually last for about a week so i do mine weekly . exfoliating is soo important .. especially if you have tan on from the week before .. you need to make sure you scrub all of the old tan off otherwisee it goes patchy. and shave before you apply the tan as shaving after will dry your skin makingyour tan not last as long. moistureise daily as well . i prefer aerosol spray ones or if you cant get one mouse is good. :) im addicted to it.. it can look natural if you get a green based tan rather than an orange based tan. it mite take a few tries to find the right brand. good luck tanning.Fake tanning? Tips and advice?
Do not shave your legs for several hours before applying sunless tanners. Some folks can get away with it, but if your skin is on the sensitive side, avoid it.
Exfoliate while you shower or bathe with a soft cotton washcloth. Nylon or loofah scrubbers can cause a streaky effect.
If you are new to sunless tanning products, don't use sprays. They are difficult to apply evenly. What helps: spray the stuff onto your sponge paintbrush and apply it that way.
Wash your hands at least every five minutes while applying. Use a soapy nailbrush to scrub palms, fingers, and fingernails.
Your freckles and moles will darken along with the rest of your skin. In fact, some colorless moles may become significantly darker. This is a sad fact of sunless tanning.
Your belly button could darken too much. Rub it with a cotton swab dipped in lotion after you apply the sunless tanning lotion. If you notice it is too dark the next day, rub it with a cotton swab dipped in liquid eye make up remover.
After your sunless tan has developed [it will take at least three hours], hydrogen peroxide can be used to lighten dark spots on your palms if you make a mistake. Apply the hydrogen peroxide with a Q-Tip or cotton ball, and be sure to rinse the hydrogen peroxide off your skin afterwards. You have to be very careful because a drop anywhere else will leave a spot! If the ';mistake'; was a small one, you will be better off ignoring it. And note that it isn't foolproof 鈥?the hydrogen peroxide may have no effect whatsoever. concentrate on preventing orange palms, because there really isn't a cure [except time].
good luck! (:
Hia!
I've used fake tan before and i think it is great i use Johnson鈥檚 Holiday Skin Body Lotion you can find it in Boots at only 拢5.24! Here it is http://www.boots.com/webapp/wcs/stores/s鈥?/a>
Also i use Body Shop Body and Leg Shine at 拢11.50! Here it is http://www.thebodyshop.co.uk/bin/venda?e鈥?/a>
With the Johnson鈥檚 Holiday Skin - The night before i apply it i shave my legs first then exfoliate! Watch your knees when you apply it as if you put too much on your knees they will go darker than your legs. After youv'e had a shower make sure you dry well.
And
With the Body Shop Leg and Shine - You don't have too shave the night before you can do it before you apply it!
It is brill if you haven't got much time too get dress as it drys straight away. BUT it will be really dark when you put it on so i use a dry baby wipe and rub it on my legs after and i put it on because it lightens it up.
Hope this helps and Good Luck!

no one seems to be helping very well to be honest.
All they seem to be saying is don't do it.
All i can say...is you have to be careful what products you use.
The best i've ever used is the Johnson's daily moisturizer that gives you a gradual tan even after the first application.
Give it a go, but make sure you wash your hands after applying or it gives you really bad orange hands because you apply the moisturizer with your hands.
Any make sure you do it all over, you dont want streaks.
This even includes your face!
Hope it helps, :)
i love fake tan...i use a moisturising fake tan lotion, because its really easy to put on....if you shave your legs, they say wait until the day after to put on fake tan because your pores will be open and youll see it...but i always shave before i put on fake tan if im going out somewhere, but maybe if you have the option shave the day before...and yes exfoliating first is really good and will help it go on nice
Buy a decent one - I've started using Piz Buin mousse - it's about 拢12.00 - but you get about 4 full body applications so that's about 拢3.00 per go - not quite so bad really.
Buy a mitt from Boots to apply it.
Have a bath, shave and exfoliate - pay partucular attention to elbows, knees and heels,
Dry yourself - WELL!! get rid of any left ovr flaky skin.
then, use the mitt to apply - I always do most of my body myself and get my boyf to apply to my back and my right arm and hand.
Make sure you do in between toes, and fingers and do the edge of your hand - but not the palm. Also, make sure that you do your elbow whilst it's bent - or you get a white circle in the crease LOL.
Best tip of all - practice with a make up version that washes off - once you get the technique go for a long lasting developer one.
Good luck!
Exfoliate and shave first, but not right before as you could get irritation. Moisturise on dry areas like knees and elbows as it tends to grab on these bits. Actually it is very difficult to get one to look good and not too streaky but Johnsons Holiday skin is a good make as it builds up very gradually over a few days as you apply it so you shouldn't go too orangey!
u can try it but dont over do it .
it will look horrible. so be carefull.
good luck.
ur gonna look orange!
I would just get a tanning oil and lay in the sunshine dude!
don't do it.... it HORRIBLE for you... go sit in the sun
Could you give me some tips? Is it better to exfoliate first? Should you shave your legs before applying fake tan or after? Which products are best to use? How to avoid it looking ';fake';?
Any tips at all would be appreciated. :)Fake tanning? Tips and advice?
get one with an instant bronzer so you can see where exactly your applying in and if its even. leave it on for 8 hours then you can shower. they usually last for about a week so i do mine weekly . exfoliating is soo important .. especially if you have tan on from the week before .. you need to make sure you scrub all of the old tan off otherwisee it goes patchy. and shave before you apply the tan as shaving after will dry your skin makingyour tan not last as long. moistureise daily as well . i prefer aerosol spray ones or if you cant get one mouse is good. :) im addicted to it.. it can look natural if you get a green based tan rather than an orange based tan. it mite take a few tries to find the right brand. good luck tanning.Fake tanning? Tips and advice?
Do not shave your legs for several hours before applying sunless tanners. Some folks can get away with it, but if your skin is on the sensitive side, avoid it.
Exfoliate while you shower or bathe with a soft cotton washcloth. Nylon or loofah scrubbers can cause a streaky effect.
If you are new to sunless tanning products, don't use sprays. They are difficult to apply evenly. What helps: spray the stuff onto your sponge paintbrush and apply it that way.
Wash your hands at least every five minutes while applying. Use a soapy nailbrush to scrub palms, fingers, and fingernails.
Your freckles and moles will darken along with the rest of your skin. In fact, some colorless moles may become significantly darker. This is a sad fact of sunless tanning.
Your belly button could darken too much. Rub it with a cotton swab dipped in lotion after you apply the sunless tanning lotion. If you notice it is too dark the next day, rub it with a cotton swab dipped in liquid eye make up remover.
After your sunless tan has developed [it will take at least three hours], hydrogen peroxide can be used to lighten dark spots on your palms if you make a mistake. Apply the hydrogen peroxide with a Q-Tip or cotton ball, and be sure to rinse the hydrogen peroxide off your skin afterwards. You have to be very careful because a drop anywhere else will leave a spot! If the ';mistake'; was a small one, you will be better off ignoring it.

I need tips or advice on getting my baby to sleep longer at night..?
My baby just turned 1 month old. so far he is a really good baby. the only time he cries is when he wants to eat. even being wet doesn't seem to bother him. (before you jump to conclusions, I change him before every feed) occassionally he gets fussy/irritated/cries when he's trying to poop but once he poops, he is fine. he is currently on 3 oz. formula every 3 hours. sometimes he only makes it 2 1/2 hours %26amp; he's up crying for more food. sometimes he doesn't finish the 3 oz.
my question is: now that he's getting older, what can I do in the future to help him to start sleeping longer? I am a single mom, %26amp; I need to get more sleep at night, so I can be with him all day long.
I saw alot of mothers posting on here, saying they give their babies pacifiers to keep them alseep. But I wonder if my baby even needs a paci, since he usually goes right to sleep after he eats. however, it seems he always wants to eat... and it takes him an hour to finish a bottle, so I get no sleep.I need tips or advice on getting my baby to sleep longer at night..?
Hi Gavin's Mom,
Your son is still very young but I think the most important thing to start with is to get your baby into a good sleep routine.
I had massive problems with getting my 5 month old son to sleep. He would just lie awake and cry for hours, then when he finally went to sleep he would wake every hour or two hours through the night and cry again! Talk about pulling our hair out .... we were absolutely desperate for sleep!
It was a baby sleep audio program recommended by a friend that finally saved us. We followed the advice and began by creating a baby sleep routine which included bathtime, dimming of the lights, putting Josh into his crib, final nappy change and then lullabies. We also made recommended changes to his naps during the day and used some of the other recommended techniques. Within two weeks he was sleeping through the night most nights with just the odd night where he would just wake once!
If you want to take a look, the audio program is at http://www.babysleepsolution.com
Definitely start by creating a good baby sleep routine though and you could find that solves most of your baby sleep problems.
Good luck!I need tips or advice on getting my baby to sleep longer at night..?
Your baby sounds like mine - right down to not minding having a soiled diaper. She drinks anywhere from 3-5 ounces a feeding, usually only 3 during the night. It also takes mine close to an hour to go through her bottle. I usually give her 2 ounces, burp her, then give her another 2. Long process. There is nothing that we can do to get them to sleep longer, we just have to wait it out.
3 hours between feedings is totally normal at this age. He will sleep longer when he is ready.
There is no way to make him sleep longer, but it will come with time...there is a light at the end of the tunnel ;)
I saw my daughter go for longer nights around 8 weeks, but would still have spells of up every 2. Through the night is 5+ hours so you are well on your way.
Have you tried putting just a little bit of rice cereal in his formula bottle right before bed?
Sometimes there is not much you can do but wait for your baby's body to grow and mature a little more. My baby is over 6 months old now and has JUST NOW started sleeping 5 or 6 hours at a time in the evening. He goes to bed at 8pm and usually wakes up around 1am for food, then goes back to sleep until 6am. But up until this time he was eating consistently every 3 hours.
Not all babies are like this - you may have the baby that will ';sleep through the night'; when he is 2 or 3 months. It is a different experience for every mom and baby!
Not much you can do right now to extend your baby's sleep, because he is still so young and his body really does need to eat often. A pacifier will do a hungry baby no good - just frustrate him more!
I don't know.. (sorry, not a good answer)...but your baby sounds just like mine, except for the fact that he wakes up every TWO hours to eat - especially at night. Adding in the time it takes to feed him, change him, and before he'll let me put him back down to sleep, I get about 45-60 mintues of sleep before he is screaming again.
My baby will use a pacifier, but if he's not asleep yet and drops it, then he cries more. He won't go back to sleep right after eating.
But it shouldn't be taking your baby an hour to finish 3 oz. It should be 15/20 mintues tops if you are using formula. (According to my doctor at his last appt). Maybe you could get a larger nipple or something?
Good luck! I feel your sleep deprivation!
mine is the same way and he is also one month.. sometimes hes up every hour and a half.. hes not fussy either.. i dont give him a pacifiers unless i know for sure he isnt hungry and that just keeps him quiet for ten more minutes so thats no help to me.. i give my son a bath right before he goes to sleep around ten.. that helps him sleep 3 hours in a row at least.. otherwise i dont know what to tell you.. just letting you know your not alone
:o) I've been here and I relented and gave a paicifer. After 6 weeks I also replaced the normal formula (daytime) with formula for hungry babies just for her night feed and I had 8 hours immediately. Now she has her bottle at 9.30 and sleeps right through to 7. She is 3 months old now and this is when they are supposed to sleep longer. I think trying to get longer sleep at 1 month is a little amibitious but if you can get a formula for hungry babies try it - check with your GP though. Good luck and I don't envy you doing it alone. Stay strong!
well because baby is only about a month, you cant really do anything about it, you just kinna have to get him on your schedule. i noticed, if you go out during the day time, it kind of helps them to know the difference between night and day, and that night is nap time. it doesnt even need to be a long day out, just a little walk out or something.
secondly, when he gets older you can start feeding him solids which make them feel more full so theyll sleep longer. Living in hawaii we feed our babies poi, its like a hawaiian vegetable/fruit thats mashes up and we add water. my daughter falls into a deep sleep everynight.
go with your instincts, im not trying to tell you not to not listen to your doctor, jsut that you would know you baby more than anyone else =)
thats what breastfed babies do, they eat on the average, every 2 hours, you just have to hang in there until he/she is older and ready to sleep longer at night.
i just re-read and seen that hes on formula, it will still be a little bit before he sleeps much longer then that at night, babies have to eat often at that age, but, take heart it wont be long,and it will be worth it in the end.
you need a miracle blanket! they are an absolute miracle! you can order on online, they even have several on ebay. if you can keep your baby awake for about an hour before bedtime, play with him, give him a warm bath, and feed him a little more than normal. then swaddle him in a miracle blanket and put him to bed in the dark. my son is 3 months old now and has been sleeping through the night for the past 7 weeks. even before that he was sleeping at least 5 hours a night. the miracle blanket helps b'c your baby won't flail his arms and wake himself up. good luck, i know you must be exhausted.
All you can really do is wait for him to get bigger and older. It's very normal and common for newborns (and a one month old IS a newborn) to need to eat every 2-3 hours around the clock. They have tiny tummies, and can't hold much at one time.
As he gets bigger and older, he'll be able to eat more at each feeding, and go a bit longer.
The main thing to do right now is to try and make the night feeds easier and less disruptive. You might buy some of the ready-to-feed bottles that don't need to be refrigerated or warmed and can be kept right by your bed. Keep baby right by (or IN) your bed as well, and when he cries to eat, just pick him up, grab a bottle, and feed him while you doze in bed. When he's done, put him back in the bassinet and go back to sleep.
