What's the topic of discussion? |
|
20:09:08 |
hathor |
we could talk about action plans and
breastfeeding, but anyone is welcome to
digress! so let's do a question mark or
two |
|
20:09:17 |
vmarchant |

20:09:38 |
iamthesmilingone |
lol- that the heck does that mean!?!? |
|
20:09:51 |
vmarchant |
Two questions, I think |
|
20:10:06 |
hathor |
Okay vmarchant my wee one has a bathing
suit on her head! |
|
20:10:08 |
iamthesmilingone |
Is it like raising your hand? |
|
20:10:22 |
mamaofthree |
No, she just said a question mark or
two, I was being different! LOL :D |
|
20:10:22 |
snarfywarning |
Yeah smiling |
|
20:10:23 |
vmarchant |
LOL mine just fell asleep NAk |
|
20:10:46 |
hathor |
yes, and I'm gonna keep track somehow
and talk cause Tina isn't here yet! *) |
|
20:10:57 |
vmarchant |
Hathor, what types of breastfeeding
action do you think need to take place
to change the world"?" |
|
20:11:01 |
wendy1221 |
I'm nak w/ the 7 mo old and the 2 yo is
chanting na na na na na |
|
20:11:17 |
hathor |
Well, I'm thinking we need to get pretty
proactive |
|
20:11:32 |
vmarchant |
How? |
|
20:11:38 |
hathor |
in one week I got 4 action alerts that
were pretty freaky |
|
20:11:54 |
hathor |
I'm seeing that the world has gotten
really anti-child |
|
20:12:04 |
hathor |
very anti mother |
|
20:12:31 |
hathor |
and I hate to use the dreaded family
values words because they are so
charged, but where the heck are they? |
|
20:12:39 |
hathor |
the family values I mean |
|
20:12:58 |
vmarchant |
Depends on whose family values, I gues |
|
20:12:59 |
hathor |
So I think we should try and get beyone
the reactionary |
|
20:13:08 |
hathor |
oh yes! |
|
20:13:19 |
vmarchant |
Reactionary? |
|
20:13:30 |
hathor |
Although reactionary is good, because
that's where my jokes come from |
|
20:13:55 |
hathor |
yes, like we wait until a mama gets
asked to leave a store and THEN we have
a nurse in |
|
20:14:17 |
mamaofthree |
I like the pink. LOL |
|
20:14:38 |
hathor |
we're waiting to react, and then we do
but we come off as being too
earnest,reactionary and |
|
20:15:30 |
hathor |
upset...which they use against us (they
being the meanies who started it in the
first place) |
|
20:15:48 |
synnora |
Can anyone comment on what you say or do
we have to wait until our name is
called? I have a question however I
have input on thi squestion as well. |
|
20:16:00 |
c_something |
Hello, everyone! Sorry I was a little
late! Couldn't figure out how to get in!
But I finally made it! |
|
20:16:28 |
hathor |
I'm thinking we need to get proactive
with the family values, education and
information and lactivation |
|
20:16:34 |
vmarchant |
Perhaps we don't need better family
values" but rather better "valuing of
families"?" |
|
20:16:46 |
mamaofthree |
YES! |
|
20:16:51 |
hathor |
Hey synnora your question |
|
20:17:06 |
hathor |
absolutely on the valuing of families! |
|
20:17:21 |
snarfywarning |
Good point Vm. :) |
|
20:17:28 |
vmarchant |
thx |
|
20:17:35 |
hathor |
Also, family values doesnt HAVE to be
so conservative... |
|
20:17:50 |
hathor |
synnora? |
|
20:18:11 |
synnora |
It is a breastfeeding question I hope
you can help with. I am currently 6
months pregnant and milk is dried up but
Adam is nursing more and more and it is
really making me fatigued. |
|
20:18:18 |
synnora |
LONGgg question sorry |
|
20:18:26 |
wendy1221 |
I think at least half of the adults in
this country have attachment disoreders
of some degree--makes it hard for them
to value anythiing but themselves |
|
20:18:46 |
synnora |
Is there anyway to increase supply when
pregnant or gently lessen the nightly
nursing? |
|
20:19:36 |
synnora |
or is that not the type of breastfeeding
questions you were going for? |
|
20:20:02 |
hathor |
Well, I never made it past the third
month pregnant before my milk dried up
and my big kids started to wean... |
|
20:20:19 |
wendy1221 |
we did daddy snuggling when I was pg w/
my 7 mo old, and sleeping w/ daddy
between us. 2yo started sleeping thru
the night. Don't think there's any way
to increase supply while pg |
|
20:20:31 |
hathor |
sorry it took me so long, I'm on my own
tonight and the kids are trying to make
fish sticks! |
|
20:20:59 |
synnora |
My hubby is very selfish with sleep and
is no help at allpast 8pm at night. :( |
|
20:21:04 |
hathor |
Yeah, and the 'fatigue' doesn't really
go away... |
|
20:21:10 |
Webmama_Tina |
I'M SOOOOOOO SORRY MAMAS!!!! |
|
20:21:12 |
wendy1221 |
I dried up early as well, but my guy
didn't seem to care. He nursed like
crazy at first, them slowed way down |
|
20:21:23 |
Webmama_Tina |
i can't believe i totally flaked! :( |
|
20:21:35 |
earthmama369 |
Hormones have so much to do with it, and
to a large extent that's just how it
goes, but I've found that rest and
keeping my fluid intake up has really
helped with soreness and basic supply
(I'm 34 weeks, dd is 17 months) |
|
20:21:39 |
Webmama_Tina |
i knew it would happen eventually that
would happen...first time ever! |
|
20:21:41 |
snarfywarning |
It's okay. We forgive you Tina. :P |
|
20:21:44 |
Webmama_Tina |

|
20:21:46 |

That said, rest is pretty hard to come
by sometimes. . . . |
|
20:21:46 |
Webmama_Tina |

20:21:50 |
hathor |
I've never had the glory of tandem
nursing. :( |
|
20:21:56 |
vmarchant |
It's OK- Hathor has the list of
questioners |
|
20:22:01 |
snarfywarning |
Tandem nursing is my dream <3 |
|
20:22:11 |
synnora |
really? I am so excited I can't wait,
it is just this dry nursing that is
painful |
|
20:22:16 |
wendy1221 |
It's more of a pain, but there are times
that make it worth it. lol |
|
20:22:31 |
hathor |
Hi tina, I'm making fish sticks
answering and moderating! |

|
20:24:01 |
earthmama369 |
it doesn't help the inner soreness, but
it sure helps the outer, and every
little bit of sanity I can grab is a
good thing ;) |
|
20:24:02 |
iamthesmilingone |
When does milk dry up and if how
possible would it be to nurse an adopted
baby? |
|
20:24:24 |
hathor |
you guys could throw in your question
marks again, I'm kinda lost! |
|
20:24:27 |
iamthesmilingone |

|
20:26:03 |
iamthesmilingone |
:yikes: |
|
20:26:04 |
hathor |
For me it was a combination of things,
my milk was really low, my kids are
spaced 3.5 years apart and my fatigue
for lack of a better word was too big |
|
20:26:09 |
iamthesmilingone |
Not that that is a bad thing! |
|
20:26:29 |
Webmama_Tina |
