Guest guest Posted December 13, 2003 Report Share Posted December 13, 2003 Hi everyone, I have a question. I have a mom who is a multip with a hx of preterm labor last pregnancy on terbutaline w/o preterm delivery. Baby now 4 months old and she is pregnant again (4weeks) and very nervous but doesn't want to wean. I have looked in all my reference books here at home to no avail. I also searched the archives of lacnet and saw the same query in Sept and I read the next 2 days post and no one answered that query. I also tried to e-mail the person who did the query to see what she found out but it came back. This mom is very educated r/t to pregnancy and bf but I am also having difficulty finding references for this question. Do any of you know of any references at all?

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2003 Report Share Posted December 13, 2003 my understanding is that if the doctor has not forbidden sex, then breastfeeding should be ok, as the oxytocin surges associated with orgasm are stronger, or at least the same as those that occur with nipple stimulation. she may also want to get the book " adventures in tandem nursing " as there is a section in there about nursing while pregnant, including info on nutrition, and i imagine risks as well.

Hello Ibolya, An 'out' is an excuse to not do something you don't really want to do anyway, preferably without hurting anyone's feelings. It's short for 'way to get out of it.' -claire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 > Ms. Rozsa, > > I appreciate your response and agree that there is commonly something else " behind " the question. Answering her question validates her and instills trust. Once rapport is established, and her question is answered, a conversation about how she " feels " about it and if there is something else behind her decision may unfold. I agree that she deserves to learn about every possible option available to her. > > Sincerely, > E. I've found that to be true too. Answer the question without judging and the mother will perceive you as a 'safe' person to talk to. Of course we often have to gather more information before answering the mother's question. For instance, 'how do I wean?' Questions to ask include 'how old is the baby?' 'when do you have to wean by?' You are right to build rapport before giving suggestions. In my experience that works best too. Just showing an interest in what a mother has to say (without jumping right in with suggestons) is often enough to get her talking freely. Then the mother and LC can look at the situation together and find an approach the mother is comfortable with. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
