Guest guest Posted March 31, 1999 Report Share Posted March 31, 1999 Renae, Welcome to the list. I am Wendi sahm to Kaija 7yo ( homeschools) & Zaid 17 months (nursing). We live in No. Calif. There aren't really any foods you have to avoid unless they upset your baby. Cabbage and such can cause a gassy baby but I never noticed that. Dairy also can cause colic, but not in all babes. For now you could eat a little on the bland side, just in case but other than that it is an individual baby's intolerance that causes food restrictions. Just mainly eating healthy and low fat. Lots of water as we have been discussing. I couldn't eat garlic with Kaija ( she would projectile vomit) but Zaid is unbothered by anything that I eat. Congratulations on your newest arrival. Can we have a run down on your kids names, ages, and nursing history if you have some time. Just for curiosity sake. Again welcome and we will look forward to hearing about your growing babe. Wendi introduction hello to all, my name is renae.my husband, rick & i live in lexington,ky.we have a new addition to our family ryan who was born last week 3-25-99 and i am breastfeeding him like i did the last 3. we now have 6 children.our last child i could not breastfeed because she has a chromosome problem and had a great time with feeding.i am thrilled to be successfully breastfeeding ryan and reading over the material i find i have forgotten a few things.please share what foods i am to stay away from. thanks, renae ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ta Da!

Guest guest Posted March 31, 1999 Report Share Posted March 31, 1999 Liz, Welcome. I just introd to someone else so won't repeat, but we homeschool as well. Glad to have you here. That is one reason I am nursing my son longer than my dd. When my dd was a toddler I found so many times that I could have comforted her if we were still nursing. I decided then to nurse longer the next time. So far so good. 17 months and going strong. Wendi Introduction Hi my name is Liz Hanson and I am a SAHM of two children. Tyler is 3 1/2 and Kira is 2 1/2. My husband is and he is a local truck driver. He could make more money if he went on long hauls but we feel it is more important that he be home every night. Tyler was breastfed for 9 weeks and was switched to a bottle because of misinformation that I received. Kira is still nursing and shows very little sign of weaning. I am very active within my La Leche League group and I attend MOPS(Mothers Of PreSchoolers).We are planning on homeschooling our children and we look forward to teaching them at home. My daughter had eye surgery last year to remove a cataract and I cannot tell you how great it is to comfort a toddler who is scared and upset through breastfeeding.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 1999 Report Share Posted April 3, 1999 Wendi, My job entails several parts of supporting children and their families through the hospitalization experience. I have worked on PICU and now on Acute Care. I only have my bachelors. Most of my co workers have their masters degrees though. I will go back and get mine, eventually. I do a lot of teaching children (and parents many times) about surgeries and procedures, helping (usually older) children do visualization, relaxation during these procedures, also doing diversional exercises during these procedures. I attempt to help parents understand what hospitalization can effect children's development and ways to deal with those regressions/aggression. Another job I have is to help the siblings, cousins, etc. feel a part of the experience by educating them about the hospitalization . A big part of my role is also to help empower the patients in regards to their hospital stay...offering appropriate choices and advocating for them when their basic developmental needs or certain considerations are not being met. We do some therapeutic play...not play therapy which requires a liscense and higher level degree. This play includes needle play, water play, medical play and the like. Well, that's it in a nutshell. I enjoy it, but it can be quite draining. I like that I am able to work only 2 days/week. Thanks for asking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 3, 1999 Report Share Posted April 3, 1999 , Do you mainly assist kids and their families to cope with the hospital experience? How much schooling did you need for that? You said you work at Loma University. I grew up in Riverside and at one point lived within walking distance. Wendi Re: Introduction From: Mparker90@...

Guest guest Posted April 6, 1999 Report Share Posted April 6, 1999 welcome!!! julie!!! we just got thrush this past week! well,its been longer im sure but diagnosed yesterday--so any help would be great!! cade doesnt seem to mind but my right nipple in particular feels like its scorched!!! --alli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 7, 1999 Report Share Posted April 7, 1999 Alli- First of all I'd like to say HANG IN THERE! The pain got to be really bad sometimes but I stuck it out...even with everyone in the family telling me I should quit breastfeeding - except hubby. There is a lot they (the doctors and nurses) don't tell you about thrush. Here are a few examples: 1. Sterilize everything that comes into contact with babies mouth or your breasts. Medicine droppers, Bottle Nipples, Breast Shields, Pacifiers, even your bras should be boiled for 20 minutes once a day. It gets to be a pain in the butt but you get used to it. 2. If you are giving your baby medicine from a dropper DO NOT put medicine in his/her mouth and then back in the bottle. If you do you are contaminating the entire bottle of medicine with yeast and must throw it away and start over. Like I said, it took me forever to get over mine because I didn't know a lot of this information. I wish you the best of luck and hope you don't suffer as long as I did. Oh, by the way...washing your bras in really hot water with a little bleach will work also - instead of boiling them. mommy to Davian (12-10-98) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 8, 1999 Report Share Posted April 8, 1999 I've been thinking the same thing since I've gone back to work. I've almost unsubscribed about 3 times in the past week or so but can't do it. I love this list! (and the women on it!). I finally decided to go to digest today - so you might not hear as much from me, but I'll still be here. mom to Bart 1/22/99 > I keep thinking > that I really need to > unsubscribe to this list as I spend sooo much time > just reading this > stuff--but then I never can.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2000 Report Share Posted June 26, 2000 Hi All This is a quick introduction about myself to the list. I am currently 27 weeks pregnant and on my third pregnancy. My eldest, , was born in 1994 at the RAF hospital in Germany. She was overdue by 9 days and after a long and agonising 38 hour labour things ended with an emergency C Section for signs of foetal distress. My second girl, Jodie, was born in 1996. By this time the RAF hospital had closed and she was to be born in a German hospital. After hearing horror stories about the German hospital I elected to have another section. I moved back to the UK about 3 years ago. When I got pregnant this time I was really surprised to be told that I could try for a vaginal delivery, I am going to discuss this with the consultant on Thursday. Well thats a little bit about my situation and if theres anyone else who has been through this I would love to hear from you Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
