Hi Jen,

I, too, love being a mother and can't imagine doing anything else! There are

times when I wonder if we should have anymore and if I am not able to give my

kids what they deserve if I keep having more, but I love them and love being

with them.

I also don't get out a lot, except when my husband is home with the kids or we

all go out together.

Have you tried Gentian Violet? I hear it works wonders. You treat both you &

baby with it. Good luck to you!!

[Guest guest]

What about the Gentian Violet? Have you tried this? Nyistatin cream

just made it worse for me... I got rid of it now twice in 1 day! All

gone! I went to the doc the other day, as you all read, and he said

well do we need Nyastatin now? And I said NO the gentian violet worked,

stuck my tongue out too!

Worth a try hon!

Well I am trying something new for thrush. Has anyone heard of washing your

nipples with 1 part vinager and 2 parts water after every feeding? I am doing

that and the Nystatin cream. I just boiled my bra and pump parts. I am looking

for Acidolphilus tablets but no luck so far. I am getting some yogurt tonight

to eat. This has been on going for 6 weeks now. I have had 2 rounds of

diflucan and that got it out of the ducts. I now just have burning nipples and

flaky, red nipples. I am also avoiding as much as possible yeast products,

sugar, and alcohol. Any other hints? I got to heal this crack.

[Guest guest]

Welcome to the group. I am sorry to hear that no one supports you on

breastfeeding. This group is great and I am sure you will find good support

here. My family is trying to get me to feed my son baby food 3 times a day,

he is only 5 months old. I feed him about a third of a baby jar of baby food

a day, only because it helps with his reflux. My husband and I want him to be

on the breast for at least a year, I like the idea of self weaning. Before I

go on and on and on about my cute little man I just want to say welcome.

[Guest guest]

Welcome !

Do you pump while at work for ? I did that for 6 months with Kylie, and

it helped ease the " mommy guilt " a bit. The bonding experienced with

breastfeeding was WONDERFUL after a long day at work.

Looking forward to seeing your input!

& Kylie, still nursing at 19 months!

My first son had GE reflux. He outgrew it by his first birthday. How is it

going for you?

My husband was open and supportive of ap ideas, but I gave him things to

read anyway. It helped him combat the negativity from his side of the

family about the way we do things. I could recommend anything by Dr.

Sears and a book called " Our Babies, Our Selves " which compares

child rearing practices around the world. Also, he enjoyed " Zen and the Art

of Fatherhood " by , which is not about ap, but just good!

Good Luck - you sound like a great mom!

First, welcome to the world of parenting and breastfeeding!!

If I were in your situation, I would sit down and talk to my husband about

the way YOU TWO feel about being parents...not what other people, even

family, expect you to do. This is your baby, and it is up to you and your

DH alone to decide what is best for her. In my opinion, rigid schedules are

not good!! I agree that a lot of babies do well with a routine, but it

should be one they set for the most part. I see no reason to rush a nursing

baby off to their own room. My 8mo old sleeps in our room, she slept with

us when she was getting up at night to nurse. Do not get cought up in other

people's should's and we did's! LOL

Best wishes!!

You are right...boys do usually learn to use the toilet a bit later than

girls. Your son is truly the exception! My now almost 4 yob decided around

when he was 3 to begin to use the toilet and, like your son, has never wet the

bed. I think when it is the child's decision (with a little encouragement from

us) he/she will be more likely to handle the task more completely. IMHO when

children are " forced " before they are truly ready it is usually much more

difficult for them to master. Another common occurance is for children to

begin what appears to be toilet efficient, then regress back into using

diapers...almost like they were experimenting. I guess what you say is...just

my .02.

[Guest guest]

I agree! I think it's up to the child to decide. My Mom was trying to potty

train my Brother (he's 2 years older than I am) She said he didn't want to,

but that I asked to use it & did from then on.
