you wouldnt believe this nurse
practitioner i saw last week- she wanted
to give me diuretics and when i asked if
it would interfere with my breastmilk
she said it would be better if it did
and just dried up my milk! |
|
11:34:04 |
bunnymom |
thanks |
|
11:34:33 |
cassandrakfreaq |
wow....I would have gone home in cuffs
if someone said that to me |
|
11:34:38 |
cassandrakfreaq |
not really |
|
11:34:44 |
cassandrakfreaq |
but she would have gotten yelled at |
|
11:34:44 |
mod_ariana |
:< |
|
11:34:55 |
mod_ariana |
Man I hate it when people are like that |
|
11:34:58 |
bunnymom |
i guess she doesnt approve of nursing
toddlers |
|
11:35:17 |
cassandrakfreaq |
she is a nurse.....as a professional she
should keep her lousy opinion to herself |
|
11:35:27 |
cassandrakfreaq |
its completely uncalled for |
|
11:35:39 |
mod_ariana |
Oh doctors and nurses are always giving
opinions on non medical things |
|
11:35:42 |
mod_ariana |
Drives me crazy |
|
11:35:48 |
cassandrakfreaq |
thats why I rarely go |
|
11:36:07 |
mod_ariana |
Yep |
|
11:36:21 |
cassandrakfreaq |
my sons doctor is so busy they don't
notice if he mises and we are very
selective in the shots he has so he
doesn't really have a reason to go |
|
11:36:27 |
mod_ariana |
We don't do well baby" visits anymore" |
|
11:36:32 |
cassandrakfreaq |
I dont blame you |
|
11:36:54 |
cassandrakfreaq |
I did at first because morg wasn't
gaining any weight but since I got my
confidence bakc I haven't been there |
|
11:37:08 |
mod_ariana |
My docs office always wants to give
nutrition advice |
|
11:37:14 |
cassandrakfreaq |
he has gained a pound a month since he
was born...im not worried |
|
11:37:17 |
mod_ariana |
If I want nutrition advice I'll go to a
nutritionist! |
|
11:37:28 |
bunnymom |
yeah- she was trying to change my bp
meds cause she didnt like the one i was
on- said you cant take it bfing and just
didnt like it in gen- now she had known
me all of 10 mins in making these
recommendations even though 4 docs and 2
lac specialist said |
|
11:37:34 |
bunnymom |
that it was ok |
|
11:37:36 |
cassandrakfreaq |
lol they tried to make me give him iron
drops...I just said I would and threw
them away |
|
11:38:10 |
bunnymom |
she even told me to stop my asthma meds
cuz of bf- of course where will she be
when i am hosp and cant breathe- |
|
11:38:22 |
mod_ariana |
One of the docs in the practice went on
and on about how my son needed to drink
milk |
|
11:38:50 |
mod_ariana |
bunnymom did you find the meds you were
looking for in the link I gave you? |
|
11:39:01 |
cassandrakfreaq |
I never listen to my doctor or nurses
when it comes to whether or not to BF
while on medication....they jsut dont
keep updated enough..I go to my
pharmacyst and she looks it up on her
palm pilot and gives me all the correct
info |
|
11:39:07 |
bunnymom |
i am still looking but found one |
|
11:39:11 |
mod_ariana |
cool |
|
11:39:24 |
bunnymom |
thanks |
|
11:39:30 |
mod_ariana |
cassandrakfreaq that's great you have a
good pharmacist. |
|
11:39:35 |
mod_ariana |
some of them don't stay up to date
either |
|
11:39:38 |
bunnymom |
yeah she supposedly looked it up on hers |
|
11:39:50 |
bunnymom |
most are just cya you know |
|
11:39:54 |
mod_ariana |
I'm kinda excited because I ordered Dr.
Hale's Medications in Mother's Milk |
|
11:40:01 |
mod_ariana |
I don't have it yet but I will soon,
hopefully |
|
11:40:23 |
Host_Housepoet |
I'm so stoked that you are going to have
that book! |
|
11:40:50 |
cassandrakfreaq |
yeah I am lucky they had wanted to run a
test because an endocrinoligist thinks I
have PCOS and the doctor said I would
have to quit nursing for 24 horus...I
really didn't want to and the pharmacyst
looked it up and I didn't have to they
had done tests |
|
11:40:52 |
kittn |
how much does that book run? |
|
11:41:02 |
cassandrakfreaq |
and found that nothing is secreted into
the BM |
|
11:41:18 |
mod_ariana |
Host_Housepoet it still hasn't shipped
though |
|
11:41:23 |
Host_Housepoet |

my son is licking peanutbutter off his
hands |
|
11:44:40 |
Host_Housepoet |
it's the cutest thing ever |
|
11:44:54 |
cassandrakfreaq |
hey do BF babies get less diaper rash?
my friends kids always have it and they
FF but my son hasn't had a single spot |
|
11:45:30 |
cassandrakfreaq |
i love peanut butter....i ate it
everyday the first 6 months of my sons
life i woould just crave it |
|
11:45:42 |
mod_ariana |
cassandrakfreaq I think some FF babies
are actually sensitive to the dairy in
formula and that's why they have the
rash |
|
11:45:59 |
cassandrakfreaq |
oh that makes a lot of sense |
|
11:46:13 |
mod_ariana |
also the FF baby's poop is a lot more
toxic" so it makes sense that it'd be
more irritating to their butts" |
|
11:46:26 |
mod_ariana |
by toxic I just mean yucky, stinky, etc. |
|
11:46:52 |
cassandrakfreaq |
oh god yes....i miss strictly BF poops a
lot |
|
11:47:22 |
bunnymom |
just checked- my current med has lower
bf risk than the diuretic she wanted to
switch to-- thanks |
|

i needed state assistance to pay for
daycare so i could afford to work, and
when you apply, as soon as you're
approved they backdate the assistance to
the day you officially filed your
application, and they reimburse you the
money you paid for child care (minus a
weekly parent fee you're responsible
for) ... only they give this money to
the daycvare provider instead of the
parent |
|
12:07:58 |
kittn |
yeah, i remember wondering if he was
getting anything at al |
|
12:08:13 |
mod_ariana |
Because James is doing this chewing
thing that I think is because I have
less milk |
|
12:08:28 |
mod_ariana |
I can't decide if that's the way it's
supposed to be or if I should take some
steps to up my supply |
|
12:08:35 |
kittn |
but i could hear him swallow , he would
kind of chew around after let down |
|
12:08:41 |
mod_ariana |
I don't want him to wean out of
frustration, but I don't want to
artificially prolong it |
|
12:08:46 |
cassandrakfreaq |
have you guys noticed kids wanting ot
nurse less around a year old? I am
really scared about a nursing stirke
coming on soon. I have to time myself ot
make sure I nurse my son enough cuz
other that at night and for naps he
doesn't even notice not being nur |
|
12:08:50 |
cassandrakfreaq |
nursed sorry |
|
12:09:04 |
kittn |
cassandra = all three of mine increased
their nursing a a year |
|
12:09:26 |
kittn |
i think its a resonable concern ariana |
|
12:09:26 |
lilith_storm |
mine nursed more right around 1, but I
think it was more for comfort than food |
|
12:09:28 |
mod_ariana |
Mine waited until well after a year to
start slowing down |
|
12:09:45 |
sugarcoated_poison_apple |
we had a bunch of problems dealing with
this woman, like she was pushing me to
put my 3-year-old in underwear even
though she wasn't potty trained yet (and
i didn't have money to buy her
underwear) and she was bitchy ... long
story short she says that we owe her the
money because we pulled the kids without
giving her a weeks' notice ... but she
owes us $550 |
|
12:09:47 |
mod_ariana |
But they did kinda ignore nursing a bit
when they started walking -- could that
be it |
|
12:09:48 |
doulasteph |
My son started nursing less at a year
when he became more mobile. THen at 15
months he could have caredless if he had
a boob or cup. A boob just slowed him
down |
|
12:09:54 |
cassandrakfreaq |
well he turned a year old today and in
that last month just doesnt seem to care
much about nursing |
|
12:09:58 |
kittn |
but I do remember feeling like I didnt
have enough for him so if he asked to
nurse during the day I let him and then
gave him a cup after |
|
12:10:26 |
sugarcoated_poison_apple |
angelique lost interest a little after
her first birthday ... it was a slow
decline after that, and she just stopped
at 18 months |
|
12:10:57 |
cassandrakfreaq |
yeah he is just now attempting to walk
and stuff so maybe thats it |
|
12:10:57 |
lilith_storm |
Mine wanted the freedom of a cup, but i
think that also kinda scared him which
made him nurse more often, once he was
comfortable with his new freedom he
wasn't interested at all except naps,
night, and early in the morning |
|
12:11:22 |
sugarcoated_poison_apple |
i didn't have much left at that point. i
was depressed and i didn't eat well, and
my breasts were a very saggy a cup at
that point (they were b cup before i got
pregnant and had gone up to c) |
|
12:11:37 |
doulasteph |
be back soon. Gotta put the toddlers
down for nap. |
|
12:11:43 |
mod_ariana |
Do you think it was the lack of milk
that made her stop? SPA |
|
12:11:51 |
doulasteph |
POison I hear you on the saggy A
cup...mine look like hound dog eyes when
Im not nursing" |
|
12:11:51 |
kittn |
i dont think this one is ever going to
want to wean |
|
12:12:01 |
kittn |
at 17 months he wants boobie ALL the
time still |
|
12:12:04 |
cassandrakfreaq |
I feel like ishoudl be happy that I
have this freedom where he is ok with
not nursing most of the day but it makes
me more scared than anything.....I dont
want my supply to drop |
|
12:12:12 |
sugarcoated_poison_apple |
yeah, i think that was it ... if i'd had
more milk i think she would have nurse
longer |
|
12:12:16 |
mod_ariana |
Oh, saggy empty looking -- I am familiar
with that! |
|
12:12:29 |
mod_ariana |
Ok, I'm thinking of getting a
galactagogue |
|
12:12:42 |
lilith_storm |
a what? |
|
12:12:53 |
kittn |
i dont remmeber mine ever being saggy
empty looking untill well after the baby
weaned |
|
12:12:54 |
mod_ariana |
a galactagogue is something that helps
you make more milk |
|
12:12:58 |
mod_ariana |
often an herb |
|
12:13:10 |
lilith_storm |
ok lLOL my brain was somewhere else |
|
12:13:17 |
mod_ariana |
kittn see I've never been an
over-producer |
|
12:13:25 |
mod_ariana |
I've always just been barely enough |
|
12:13:40 |
mod_ariana |
So maybe for me I'm losing supply
because he isn't nursing so often |
|
12:13:59 |
sugarcoated_poison_apple |
it kinda worked out in our case tho ...
i was sad when she weaned, but i ended
up leaving her father a couple months
later (in june), and she spent the
summer with him. if she'd still been
nursing i can't imagine what it would
have done to her to have me suddenly not
there |
|
12:14:13 |

its possible |
|
12:14:20 |

hehe .... well, when she did wean, i
didn't have any engorgement. there
wasn't really much left in my breasts
... of course, i was complaining to
steve about my itty bitty boobs, and he
joked that if i got pregnant and
breastfed another baby, my breasts would
get bigger again. ever so ironically, i
got pregnant like the first time we did
it"" |

steve and i joke that he's had a plot
going for the past 8 years (that's how
long we've known each other) that he
wanted a really super smart baby, so he
decided to lie in wait for me to get
really into breastfeeding so he knew the
baby would have the best |

about the woman who was asked to stop
nurisng at the YMCA |

12:25:38 |

i'm not sure if it's because she;s
teething or if she has the same cold as
everyone else in the house |

what exactly do you mean? |

12:27:33 |

I think I've heard of a few women who
experience some anxiety while nursing |
|
12:27:39 |
mod_ariana |
I don't really know a lot about it
though |
|
12:27:45 |

i am tandem nursing and apparently it is
much more common then- when nursing
feelling agitated and wanting to stop- |

12:27:49 |

my daughter is clawing my boob right now
while she's nursing ... does that count?

the time |

me, too |

but it's usually more tied to how I'm
feeling about other parts of my life |

I felt that way |

O_O not looking forward to that.... |

i have nursed all 4 of mine and never
had anything but pleasant feelings about
nursing |
|
12:29:31 |
mod_ariana |
Good latch! Teach them a good latch
it's the best way to avoid biting |
|
12:29:38 |
mod_ariana |
when they slip out of the good latch
take them off |
|
12:29:47 |
bunnymom |
i want them to self wean when they are
ready |
|
12:30:13 |
lilith_storm |
I tried everything I could, but he got 4
in at once, then 3 more the next week.
Stopping, relatching, time outs from
breast, he just had to gnaw.. |
|
12:30:24 |
bunnymom |
i just chalk it up to the fact that i am
single parenting 4 kids, 2 nursing and a
lot of stress |
|
12:30:41 |
mod_ariana |
One mom suggested a washcloth soaked in
breastmilk and then frozen as a teether |
|

wow, i bet, bunny |

12:31:06 |

I have a question when you ready |
|
12:31:11 |
PurpleCow |
ooh, i'll have to remember that, ariana |
|
12:31:18 |
mod_ariana |
net go ahead and ask your question |
|
12:31:28 |
bunnymom |
lilith_storm my 3 yo likes to chew on a
wet paper towel when he was teething |
|
12:31:49 |
mod_ariana |
bunnymom ewwww -- wet paper in my mouth
is a really freaky tactile experience
for me |
|
12:32:01 |
lilith_storm |
luckily now at almost 2 he's got them
all in, but it was rough coming in so
many and so fast |
|
12:32:40 |
net |
My nipples alway are a little bit sore,
They had really bad thrush when he was
firts born, He has a very good latch,
could it be because he is a very strong
sucker |
|
12:32:47 |
bunnymom |
he liked it though- a few folded
together to make a rol he could bite
down on |
|
12:32:56 |
mod_ariana |
net how old is your son? |
|
12:34:04 |
net |
4 months I had the same problem with my
5 year old as well |
|
12:34:26 |
mod_ariana |
At 4 months I have to wonder if his
latch has kinda slipped up a little due
to teething |
|
12:34:39 |
mod_ariana |
but are you saying it's *always* hurt? |
|
12:35:05 |
lilith_storm |
do they hurt or just sore? |
|
12:35:47 |
bunnymom |
could your breasts still have some
yeast- were your nipples treated along
with his thrush |
|
12:36:09 |
net |
Some times not all the time, also could
it be because I am letting him suck when
he is done eating, and is falling
asleep, he seems to want to use me as a
soother latly |
|
12:36:33 |
mod_ariana |
If he has a bad latch while he's comfort
nursing that could be causing it |
|
12:36:43 |
mod_ariana |
I would recommend comfort nursing on
demand though |
|
12:36:50 |
mod_ariana |
perhaps just trying to improve the latch |
|
12:37:01 |
net |
He was treated to but at first is was'nt
showing on him only my nipples |
|
12:37:15 |
net |
Just sore |
|
12:37:26 |
mod_ariana |
It could just be a bit of overuse. ;-) |
|
12:37:29 |
mod_ariana |
It happens |
|
12:38:23 |
net |
I think so sometimes he feed for 45 mins
and isn't swallowing much |
|
12:38:24 |
lilith_storm |
mine would get sore when he nursed more
often in a day, I could always tell the
heavy nursing days |
|
12:40:25 |
net |
I have been still using the nilstat
cream latly in case is is thrush again |
|
12:40:26 |
mod_ariana |
yep, heavy nursing days -- growth spurt
of comfort sucking because of teething,
whatever it could be the cause |
|
12:41:00 |
net |
I would say he is always in a growth
spurt he is 18 lbs |
|
12:41:22 |
lilith_storm |
LOL big boy! :) Just means he's healthy |
|
12:41:34 |

He is |

is it wrong to stop nursing because of
bittng when they get teeth, I had to do
that with my first son, He would not
stop bitting me |
|
12:44:00 |
lilith_storm |
I would stop mine for a minute, say
No-no, that huerts mommmy" then relatch
him, but then it didn't work well for
mine" |

if you don't have one of those

I've got a question... anyone have any
idea why my baby keeps pushing on my
boob when he's nursing? It keeps putting
him on just the tip of my nipple, and it
hurts like heck... |

sleeping too much |

even with just 1 child, it can get
exhausting. but i never felt exhausted
due to nursing until she turned 3. all
of a sudden at 3, I'm thinking, how much
longer will she nurse? |
|
12:51:05 |

older children go wanting |
|

If it works for you and him it seems
like it'll be fine |

my 1st slept 12 hours through the night
from 4 weeks- boy was i spoiled |

12:53:34 |

Going without nursing that long at night
is likely to cause your period to come
back if it hasn't |

PurpleCow my daughter does the same
thing, she's 11 months and she has a
habit of pushing her legs against
something and pulling up off my nipple |
|
12:55:00 |

Yes thats when mine started at 4 weeks
did he how long did he continue sleeping
like that for |
|
12:55:10 |

she also loves to grab my boob in both
hands and squeeze |
|
12:55:18 |
PurpleCow |
lol, he does that a bit, too... he
flails a lot |
|
12:55:22 |

amorette is really feisty when she
nurses |
|
12:56:30 |
sugarcoated_poison_apple |
she fights sleep herd, too. she'll start
to doze off, then she'll break her latch
and force herself to sit so she wakes up |
|
12:56:33 |
PurpleCow |
checked the link, and i dont think
that's it.... the only other symptom
he's showing is the spitup/gassyness |
|
12:56:38 |
PurpleCow |
lol! |

PurpleCow Ok, I have another idea then
-- and another link. ;) |

I went to the globetrotters game, and
had to nurse alex, and he started
kicking the poor little girl next to us,
i had to switch sides, so he'd kick his
dad, instead =P |
|
12:57:24 |
PurpleCow |
cool =) |

i didn't even think of that connection.
My son started sleeping heavy at 4
months and my period shortly followed |

could it be a sensitivity to something
in your diet? |

i'm either still spotty from birth (3mo
later =/) or i'm a freak, and already
started on my period... |

That's my consolation for my DS sleeping
not as well lately -- it's 7 months and
no period. With DD, it was six months, I
think because I had gone back to work,
was pumping at work instead of being
home, and she was sleeping longer. |
