Guest guest Posted June 28, 1999 Report Share Posted June 28, 1999 , This is an excellant post. You shared much positive and useful information. I think it will help others with their decisionmaking process and also in understanding. I have often felt my inability to nurse has been detrimental to my children. I didn't have any family or other support system to help me (we lived on Guam) and my milk was nothing but a steady gushing of water. It never thickened like I hear (and have seen) other mom's. My mom said the same thing with her and my daughter did the same thing. I heard somewhere that is something to do with the low thyroid, but have no idea how true that is. Our babies really were losing wieght and screaming with hunger on our milk. I wish I had had help and maybe it could have been worked out. S. Re: Breastfeeding For any of you not interested in the breastfeeding thread, please skip this message Note: I hesitated to write this message as the last thing I want to do is make any of you feel bad for following a doctor's advice. We all do the best we can with what information we have on hand. I just thought that if I could provide information that is not so easy to find in the " medical world " it might help someone in the future when confronted with a similar situation. I am also not trying to make anyone feel bad who did not choose to breastfeed or was not able to. I had to pump for my daughter for a year and then she had to be taken off breast milk--sooner than I had hoped. We all have to do what is best for our individual child and family. I do, however, think that knowledge of the facts is important when making choices. That said, here are a few breastfeeding facts you might find interesting. Human milk contains significant amounts of DHA and AA which are longchain polyunsaturated fatty acids that come from linoleic and linolenic acid. These fats help the process of myelination of the brain. There is some experimentation with adding DHA to baby formula, but researchers are unsure if it will work in the same way. Human milk also has a substance (referred to in a previous post) that is called IgA (secretory immunoglobulin A). This acts as an antibody on the mucous membranes of the throat, lungs and intestines. It prevents germs from penetrating these membranes and causing allergies or illness. This substance is highest in the first milk, or colostrum, as are leukocytes which are white cells (also found in blood) and are able to kill bacteria and viruses that cause illness. IgA in mother's milk stimulates the production of IgA in the baby. These substances do decrease in mature milk, but the baby is drinking more and gets enough protection. This protective factor exists as long as breastfeeding continues. Interestingly they increase again during the weaning process when historically babies or children are more vulnerable to disease. I was very disturbed that 's doctor had her stop breastfeeding Orion when she herself was sick. For her and the rest of you that are nursing or planning to nurse again, this is not necessary. When a baby is exposed to a new germ, as he continues to nurse, the germ is passed to the mother. The breast itself then produces the necessary immunoglobulin locally and then passes it back through the milk to the baby for protection. Continued breastfeeding when family members are sick is the best way to protect a baby from becoming ill. The more the baby breastfeeds, the better protected he is. Breastfed babies are sick less often, have fewer cases of SIDS, respiratory infections, ear infections, UTI's, pneumonia, meningitis, any type of gastrointestinal ailment, allergy, juvenile diabetes, celiac disease, some types of childhood cancer, rheumatoid arthiritis, multiple sclerosis, and even (in girls) a reduced risk of premenopausal breast cancer as adults. It improves jaw and teeth development and research shows increased IQ in breastfed babies. Breastfeeding causes lower rates of osteoperosis and breast cancer in moms who nurse as well. It seems if breastfeeding can do all these things then it should be able to make an impact on at least some aspects of mito disease. There are also years of research to be done to understand all the substances in human milk. The AAP now recommends breast milk for the first year of a child's life, starting solids at 6 months. They also state officially that the breastfeeding relationship should continue as long as " mutually desired " by mom and child.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 1999 Report Share Posted August 25, 1999 - Same thing happened to my daughter (but at 4 months). We put Quincy on a powdered formula when I went back to work and all of our problems began. 5 months later, docs finally believed me that she couldn't tolerate the formula (when I put her on milk her vomiting stopped). Incidentally, I have heard from several metabolically knowledgeable docs that many mito patients cannot tolerate powdered formula. GI doc later prescribed a different ready made formula in place of milk for extra calories and complete nutrition. We still had development delays and appetite problems even after vomiting stopped, but at least she wasn't fighting for every ounce of nutrition. I also always wondered about the coincidence of the symptoms appearing when I stopped nursing, but from my research figured it was most likely that the problems with the powdered formula just stressed her already-weakened-by-mito-disease system more than it could handle, hence the vomiting and other symptoms showing up at that particular time. This idea was confirmed last month when radiologist read Q's MRI. He said based on the development of her ventricles (more precisely, the lack of full development) he suspected that the disease process was evident in the beginning of the second trimester in utero. A few other thoughts: As I paraphrase Dr. Cohen, lactic acid is a by-product (symptom, if you will) of any abnormality/dysfunction in energy production. Also, it is harder to detect developmental problems until over age 3 or 4 months. We also thought Quincy didn't have any delays until 8 months or so, but the neurologist did upon taking a history from us. He knew more minute things to look for. All this being said still doesn't mean that your ideas about *your* child might not also be true... P.

Guest guest Posted August 26, 1999 Report Share Posted August 26, 1999 : I meet a woman whose daughter was rolling over lifting her head up etc. at 3 weeks of age, she went through several specialists before they did an MRI which showed some of her brain was in her neck. What seemed to be a development was really just an error. She turned out to be a one in a million child. She has had several brain/skull surgeries and today is normal. Just a thought. I am sure his smile was real, We have video of smiling hours after she was born. It went away for a while but came back when she was six months.
