Guest guest Posted October 7, 1999 Report Share Posted October 7, 1999 Might I add that I have often used a stronger solution of vinegar/water with yeast infections--as much as 3/4 H2O to 1/4 vinegar--depends on how uncomfortable you are, whether or not the innards can take it. Also douching with yoghurt is very soothing. jen > > >, > >So sorry to hear about your pneumonia. What a drag.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 1999 Report Share Posted October 7, 1999 , So sorry to hear about your pneumonia. What a drag. As for the vinegar solution it is 7 parts water to 1 part vinegar applied frequently throughout the day. Allow your nipples to air dry before putting your bra back on. Also swab this in his mouth to stop the spread. As for a website there is a link on my website under the resources section. Wendi http://www.lactivist.com breastfeeding info From: LilNukie@... Hello everyone! I know it's been a long time since I've been around. In case you don't remember I had pneumonia about 3 weeks ago and I've been so busy trying to get caught up since then that I've had to delete tons of mail.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 1999 Report Share Posted October 7, 1999 errr... well, I must confess that given the moving chaos I'm enduring right now & the stubborn case of thrush, I have taken to just splashing straight vinegar on my nipples, with no poor effects to date (mind you, after three babies, my nipples are made of iron!) except if I forget to wash the vinegar off before nursing, then I get a real funny sour face from . jen -----Original Message----- >Thank you Jen.

Then he gets even madder when I try to position him correctly because his little mouth gets full. Any suggestions?>> Is he getting a full inch all the way around of your areola in his mouth? That is really all that needs to be in there. Picture a little bird and get him to open his mouth as big as possible. Babies are smart. Do it with him and say at the same time " open wide " . He will catch on: ) << My nurses said that I had 'big bosoms!!! " Is there such a thing as having breasts that are too big to nurse???? >> Nope. You should be fine. <<I am getting a little concerned about whether he is getting enough for me to maintain a good supply. He is producing good dirty diapers -- but my breasts still feel full in places = kind of hard. I tried pumping with my Pump in Style and got maybe an ounce.>> He is having 6-8 wet diapers a day? Then he is getting enough. Just remember that the first 6 weeks you are in a period of adjustment , you breasts may feel engorged at times. Don't start doubting yourself now, it sounds like he is doing great!Oh yes, the pump will not be as productive as your baby. <<Even though my milk is in, I haven't really experienced a strong letdown. Is it too early?>> This is one of those things that some people *feel* and some people don't. Does he seem to suck really hard for a minute or so and then start a rythmic swallowing? You are probably having a let down and just not feeling it. Your best guage is baby himself. As long as he is having enough wet/poopy dipes he is fine. Congratulations!! It sounds like you are having very minimal problems. That is wonderful!!

Guest guest Posted December 25, 1999 Report Share Posted December 25, 1999 Amy, Congratulations! Your breasts can't be too big to nurse. While your baby is growing a bigger mouth just keep trying different positions and express a little milk before nursing to make sure your nipple is nice and soft. Some women never " feel " a letdown. If your baby is having 6-8 wet cloth diapers and 2-5 poops per day he is getting plenty of milk. Have you been in contact with LLL? They might be able to send someone out to see you. Make sure you are offering your breast frequently so he can nurse before he gets upset and frustrated. Enjoy your new baby and if you are using pacifiers or artificial nipples I would put them away until breastfeeding is well established. Nipple confusion will only make these problems worse. What a great gift you received! Wendi http://www.lactivist.com breastfeeding info & resources update From: amymichael@...

Guest guest Posted December 26, 1999 Report Share Posted December 26, 1999 Congratulations Amy! He sounds terrific, what a great Christmas present! I know that I can't begin to address all you're dealing with, but I know that getting started with my son breastfeeding was a difficult process. I became easily engorged and it took him FOREVER to latch on. Many times I would have to try to hand express some milk before feeding him because my breasts would be too large for him to eat. I doubt that he's not getting enough to eat, just make sure he has 6-8 wet diapers a day ( even looking bowel movements aren't predictable because every breastfed baby is different ) Be sure to take him to a pediatrician that is pro-nursing so that he ( or she ) can adequately address your concerns without recommending that you quit nursing. Sounds like you're doing great, be sure to keep us posted! S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to the Dr on the 28th and ended up being induced on the 29th. I was toxic and the baby was stressed. The conditions inside were not good either. There was little amniotic fluid, and the placenta was showing signs of deteroriating (sp?). At 11:48 pm on feb 29 I had a baby boy!!!! we thought all along that this was a girl so we are shocked and have a ton of girl clothes, girl diapers, and girl material waiting to be turned into diapers lol. I had to stay in the hospital for 5 days because of my blood pressure, and am still supposed to be on bedrest. Bp is still running very high :(Tandem nursing is going rather well. was freaked out the first time he came up and saw Dakota nursing, but I let him have the other side right away and he has been happy since. He will pat and rub baby brother while they are both nursing.I am soooooooooo in love ))Oh yeah, his name is Dakota Lee.Have to run as he is calling my name lolLouiseMommy to 12-87, 7-89,Connor 10-91, 4-93, 2-18-99, and wee little girl EDD 3-24-2000Oh what a zoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2000 Report Share Posted March 11, 2000 Dear Fawn, I have suffered 7 miscarriages so I totally understand where you are coming from. I am also a Christian. I will tell you that it is okay to be angry at God for he already knows your heart. I am going to tell you this one thing though, this will become your ministry while you are here on earth. It has for me. You will someday get to a place that you will be able to be there for other women as they grieve the loss of babies they will not see this side of heaven... If you ever need to talk or vent I am here for you....just email me! Jenn(NC) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
