Guest guest Report post Posted February 18, 1999 << Hello Kym, I'm new today too! Welcome !! Please try to find you & your baby a new pediatrician. You need someone you can trust not only with your health (mental) but your baby's! You need to feel safe, & be able to trust what they tell you. Is this doctor an old person? or younger? Are they from Earth? LOL! LOL... I agree completely!! I'm a little upset...how can doctors advise women against nursing? Now days they all know it's healthier. It's very sad!! Doctors, especially pediatricians should be better educated about breastfeeding!! There's just no excuse for the ignorance in my opinion! : ) Please keep us posted & welcome to a nice group of ladies. Welcome again! Dana -Mommy to Philip ph 9/17/97 P.S. she sounds like she's growing like a weed! My Mom had me worrying over my 1st and 2nd born Daughters weight all the time & they are big! >> Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted March 16, 1999 Stevie, I am glad you introduced yourself and your tricky upcoming situation. It is so hard for me to hear people such as you getting NO support to continue nursing by pumping. It sounds like the place you work is truly not set up for this kind of situation. Fear not!! I have a lot of confidence in these ladies. We have all been in different situations and will try to come up with some alternatives and solutions so that you can continue to do what is best for your baby. How long are your shifts? What time of the day/night will you work? Who will care for the baby in your absence? What kind of pump would you use or do you have? As far as foods to avoid...I think the general rule of thumb is that if it makes you gassy at all eat it in very small quantities! Different babies will be effected by different foods through Mommy. I read (probably on this very list) that chocolate in and of itself is not all bad. That is to say that you musn't avoid it alltogether while nursing. I am sure that chocolate in large quantities would not be encouraged or tolerated by baby though. Things like cabbage, beans and other obvious gas producers may upset baby's tummy. I am sure you have heard of Mylicon drops. These work quite well for many babes. Well, I am sure we will try to help support you by coming up with ideas. I think if you provide answers to the above questions it will help too. Welcome! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted March 16, 1999 Hey sis!!!! I would try the broccoli again just to make sure. has had problems with brussel sprouts. I keep eating them because he just gets a tiny bit fussy. Last night he went down at 10 and was up at 4:30 and 8. How is the big girl? This is the best bunch of women. I have learned so much. Sherry SAHM to (8), (4), Kaitlyn (2), and baby born 12/17/98. *Breast fed is best fed* Hello From: ST3PH3@... (Steph) Hi.....tanks for the " pre-welcome " . I have been reading for a few weeks..... & really enjoy all the info:) My name is Stevie & dh is Chet. We live in Rhode Island & have 2 children. a is 29 months & my newborn son is 3 weeks old(). I'm BFeeding him & hope to make it 6 months. I BF my DD & quit at 3 months. I thouroughly enjoyed it, but had to stop b/c of work. I am a waitress, so it's VERY hard to get away to pump. We are a seasonal restaurant & the summers are CRAZY!!! My boss is a witch & didn't give me any kind of support. It's really hard to get away to pump milk, & to find a place to do it. We have one bathroom for the 200 employees we have in the summer,so to get in there for only 10 minutes is a problem, without people banging on the door. I can't do it in my car...as I park about a mle away fom work in the summer. I go back to work in May, & am really not able to figure out what to do. When I went back to work after my DD I suffered big time from engorgement, & the response I got from eveyone is you shold have known that you would'nt be able to pump. Anyway...that's my situation...so any advice would be great. I also have a Q--Are there any foods that I shold absolutely avoid when nursing?? was VERY gassy last night.... & I had a small bit of broccolli with a garlic sauce. Also is chocolate bad???? That is a big weakness of mine. Sorry so long & look forward to getting to know everyone...when the kids permit. They are the bosses:) Stevie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ New hobbies? New curiosities?

Guest guest Report post Posted March 16, 1999 Cows milk made my Son fuss for a couple hours each night around 5:00, I had put 1/2 cup of 2% on my morning cereal.

Guest guest Report post Posted March 16, 1999 Cheryl, What diet are you following for your weight loss prior to surgery? I know of another patient of Dr. Rutledge's that had terrific results following his post-op plan that is shown on his web site. Good luck.

Guest guest Report post Posted March 21, 1999 Liz, I just mainly ignore them, but with my daughter I did bite or pinch her back only once or twice after a lot of discussing it. It really made an impression on her. I have also spanked her but only for hitting. I gave her a not so hard swat on the bottom and when she reacted I asked how it felt to be hit. She didn't like it and we agreed not to hit each other. She was not a toddler and she had hit me in my pregnant belly so I had to react. It worked for her but I don't think it will for my son's personality. He would be either traumatized or think it was funny. Both of which would not help. I think each child needs different discipline. Wendi Re: Hello Hi Wendi It seems that your boy sounds very like Selina, she does exactly that. Again I feel its her beginning to try to assert her own personality ans also she seems very bright and I often think she thinks faster than her body can act and she gets frustrated.She has hit me a few times and my instinct has been not to react or make a fuss and ignore it, a lot of people ie family have said to hit her back and I feel this is exactly the wrong thing to do as all that will teach her is that the bigger you are the harder you can hit and I think thats the perfect recipe to create a bully. She definately doesn't like it when I ignore her(when she's misbehaving) and will quickly stop and run over for a cuddle or a little feed. I must admit to being lucky in that these episodes are infrequent as for 90% of the time she's absolutely delightful.... which I always put down (when ever anyone compliments me on her) to breast feeding!
