With my first two, I gave up breastfeeding very quickly, but the one thing I remembered was being told to make sure the babies ate equal amounts on both breasts. Well, after my 3rd baby, I did a lot more research about this, since I was determined to breastfeed him and not give up! What I learned was the the first few minutes, the babies get the foremilk, which is really watery, then after the first few minutes, they get the hindmilk, which is the thick stuff with all the calories. From my experiences and what I've researched is that it is best to allow them to empty the first breast, so they get all the hindmilk, then offer the other breast, but they may only nurse for a few minutes. Another thing is, with breastfeeding babies(from experience with mine anyway), they don't spend nearly as much time eating as when they are bottle fed! My first two kids took a minimum of 30 minutes to finish a bottle, both of my 2nd two would be and are done nursing within 10minutes! Sure makes it easier to get other things accomplished, LOL And if your baby is having that much 'output', you shouldn't worry! Sounds like things are going great! While I'm emailing anyway, I guess I'll add how Brittneys 6mo well baby appointment went! She is 19lb/8oz, and 28in!! WOOHOO! Total opposite of how my 3rd child was! She is doing great, except for the asthma...she had to get a breathing treatment, and some more asthma med. Britt and my 2yr old are suspected of having asthma. They do really good with it though, they are little troopers...and I finally got them switched to pediatrics!! YAY!! We were stuck with Family Practice, but I went through all the paperwork and was able to get TriCare to switch them, due to the asthma diagnoses...And they have some new inhaler! Well, it's new to us! So, we don't have to use the nebulizer now, instead we use an inhaler, with an attachment. Works SO much easier! Anyway, that's my input for today! Hope everyone has great days!

Guest guest Posted March 4, 1999 Report Share Posted March 4, 1999 Jenn, Trust yourself and your baby. Everyone is different. My son would only nurse on one side for the longest time. He just couldn't stay awake for the second one. My daughter could drain me on both sides in 12 min and then would be done for a long time. Every child is different and they go through different stages. Wendi (no subject) After all of the things going areound about that poor baby who died from not getting enough breastmilk.. i am paranoid! I counted Pagie's out put yesterday to make sure and got 7 wets 5 poopies and 10 times feeding in 24 hours. Sounds good to me:) I was wondering though... paige takes anywhere from 10-15 minutes to est. she empties one breast per feeding.. sometimes wanting the other very shortly but not very ofter. does this sound right? I mean, it seems that others hace their babies nursing for longer periods of time, but paige also averages about every 2-2 1/2 hours. She seems to be growing like a weed and her output is good and she is a very happy smiling... gurgling...cooing... baby;) What do you guys think? ps. i am on too many groups and lost track.. did i send this group the pic of paige?

Guest guest Posted March 4, 1999 Report Share Posted March 4, 1999 , Congrats on your healthy girl. Having been a Respiratory Therapist I can say just be careful of inhalers they can have a rebound effect which causes them to wheeze even more once the medication is worn off.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 1999 Report Share Posted March 15, 1999 , Thanks for all the advice. I haven't had much time today to read it all as I have had to prepare for my trip. I still need to pack. I still haven't nursed my son and he seems OK with that for the most part. He asked a couple of times but was easily distracted so I didn't pursue. I am very sad to see this relationship end - I had hoped to nurse him longer. I enjoy the special relationship we have had and will miss those moments. Thanks again for the care and concern. Lori Re: (no subject) From: Mparker90@... Lori, I truly feel for you. You have done so much for your son for 23 months now. I take it that this trip is absolutely necessary for your business. I cannot say that I know what I would do I am thinking.... Let's see, I do agree with you that cold turkey weaning is probably not the best emotionally for either of you. How long do you have before you have to go on your trip? Perhaps a more gradual process would help? I am not trying to be a finger pointer, but you already mentioned about the " Daddy says NO " approach. I agree that this is not the best response. If you need to do it quickly, you may still need to pump to relieve yourself. If you really want to dry up, try to pump just a little and not empty the breast. I also hear that cabbage leaves in a bra help with the drying up process. It sounds like you have some strong feelings about your husband's suggestions. I can't say that I wouldn't have these same feelings. These are things that need to be resolved together and you may find that you can create an outcome that is meeting everyone's needs. I know that my son, who is 16 months old, nurses more when we spend the whole day together. When I am gone, he is fine. At this point, he is nursing for the relationship, not the nourishment (this is in our case). I am sorry for the pain you are going through and wish you the best! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Is ONElist important to you?

Guest guest Posted March 15, 1999 Report Share Posted March 15, 1999 , Thanks for all the advice. I haven't had much time today to read it all as I have had to prepare for my trip. I still need to pack. I still haven't nursed my son and he seems OK with that for the most part. He asked a couple of times but was easily distracted so I didn't pursue. I am very sad to see this relationship end - I had hoped to nurse him longer. I enjoy the special relationship we have had and will miss those moments. Thanks again for the care and concern. Lori Re: (no subject) From: Mparker90@... Lori, I truly feel for you. You have done so much for your son for 23 months now. I take it that this trip is absolutely necessary for your business. I cannot say that I know what I would do I am thinking.... Let's see, I do agree with you that cold turkey weaning is probably not the best emotionally for either of you. How long do you have before you have to go on your trip? Perhaps a more gradual process would help? I am not trying to be a finger pointer, but you already mentioned about the " Daddy says NO " approach. I agree that this is not the best response. If you need to do it quickly, you may still need to pump to relieve yourself. If you really want to dry up, try to pump just a little and not empty the breast. I also hear that cabbage leaves in a bra help with the drying up process. It sounds like you have some strong feelings about your husband's suggestions. I can't say that I wouldn't have these same feelings. These are things that need to be resolved together and you may find that you can create an outcome that is meeting everyone's needs. I know that my son, who is 16 months old, nurses more when we spend the whole day together. When I am gone, he is fine. At this point, he is nursing for the relationship, not the nourishment (this is in our case). I am sorry for the pain you are going through and wish you the best! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Is ONElist important to you?

Guest guest Posted April 19, 1999 Report Share Posted April 19, 1999 , Dr. R. recommends two weeks out of work if you have a fairly easy job. I returned to work exactly one week after, for 3-4 hours per day. I was pretty tired after I got home, and would need to rest. I think a class would be OK. Of course, everybody is different. You would not want to have to carry heavy books around campus, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 19, 1999 Report Share Posted April 19, 1999 Katy Musolino: Ref. your visit to the psychiatrist, did he have to write a letter? Or what does he need to do in reference to surgery? I visited my Dr. today and he is all for it for me. He also kept the info for other patients of his!! He was really excited to hear about this surgery. Thanks for any help ref. this. He told me to let him know what he needed to do at this point in the process. Thanks again. (JSE12451@...)
