Guest guest Posted July 7, 1999 Report Share Posted July 7, 1999 I am glad the thrush is doing better. Thrush is horrible and soo painful! I met the mom through my sister and another list. She lives in Northern VA and she comes down every 3 weeks to pick up. So far I have given her about 200oz. There will be the state LLL conference in N.VA in a few monthes. Are you going? I am going to try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also just gave another mom 120 oz of EBM. I have been pumping for her son. I am just so proud of myself and had to share. This is such a miracle that we are able to feed our children both body and soul with our bodies. is doing GREAT! I can not talk about what I do on another list because they do not feel it is right so I have to tell someone. Hope yall will let me. If it had not been for the support of all of yall in the beginning when I was dealing with thrush and s tongue tie problem then I would never had made it this far. is almost 7 months old and has not had anything but Mommys Milk! *~*~*~ Sherry Craun~*~*~* Mom to 8/14/90 3/24/94 Kaitlyn 5/30/96 12/17/98 Wife to Kenny --------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 7, 1999 Report Share Posted July 7, 1999 Wow, Sherry - good for you! What a gift. Was this a mom you met at LLL? What kind of list is the other list? They don't understand people sharing breastmilk? I can relate, I'm on an April99moms list and out of 24 women, only 6 are breastfeeding. We don't end up talking about breastfeeding much for fear of making people feel guilty. (and yet there are endless posts about formula and bottles) And some of those moms did breastfeed for a number of weeks but still, it's bizarre how few still are breastfeeding at 2-3 months. I go to a new moms support group in the area and something like 20 out of 22 moms are breastfeeding so that gives me hope that it's just an odd coincidence that so few of my april moms are bfing. Or maybe it's a regional thing - I'm in the DC area, maybe more educated moms (about bfing I mean) and more support. I can go to 5 or 6 different LLL mtgs. if I want in a month, it's wonderful. Pretty interesting stuff. And by the way, the thrush seems MUCH better, I'm having much less pain and Corey seems fine. It's a riot to see his technicolor lips from the Gentian Violet. I'm taking acidophilus, plus swabbing both of us with vinegar/water solution. Thank you all so much for the advice and wisdom. Since I got the thrush, I've talked to three women who " had to " stop bfing because of thrush. So sad that they either got misinformation or had no support. I feel very lucky. I do seem to have a decreased milk supply this week. I think it's partially related to the fact that I haven't pumped at all in the last week because I was in so much pain. So now I will start again since the pain has gone away. Luckily, Corey does not seem hungry after feeding but I swear, he eats for a minute or two and then my breast is soft and fairly empty. But if he's not complaining, I guess we're okay, right? And he's having plenty of wet diapers. Okay, that's all for now. It's so nice to be off digest! mommy to Corey, 10 weeks old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 7, 1999 Report Share Posted July 7, 1999 , Part of it is that your body is getting used to nursing. Often around 12 weeks moms think their milk supply is going down because their breasts feel soft. That just means your body finally figured it out and now it can be more natural about it.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 1999 Report Share Posted July 7, 1999 Sherry, I just don't agree with that. The philosophy of breastmilk is best should hold true. Talk about it all you like here. I think you are doing a great service. That baby would be drinking 120 oz of formula if it weren't for you. Wendi Re: milk donation Another list will not let me talk about donating.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 1999 Report Share Posted July 7, 1999 That's wonderful that you can help somebody out like that Sherry - I was just wondering if all bm is the same, kindof like o positive blood, or would a baby be able to tell the difference between different mom's bm?

I think the rate of > mothers who breastfeed after > 1 month is soooo low I don't even wanna try and > guess and after 6 months > don't even think about it Amy, here are the statistics: Less than 50% start breastfeeding at all, Of that number, less than 22% are still BF at 5 months. This figure drops to under 10% by 12 months.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 1999 Report Share Posted July 8, 1999 > Another list will not let me talk about donating. They say it is not safe, > against LLL guidlines....... Whoever told you that donating milk was against LLL guidelines is off the wall. LLL has only one position, and that is that breast milk is the superior infant food, perfect for the first year of life. I would be interested in hearing what LLL guideline donating is against! I think it is wonderful that your friend found someone she can trust as much as you to consistently provide an amount of milk for her baby, without it having lost valuable components in pasteurization!

Guest guest Posted July 8, 1999 Report Share Posted July 8, 1999 > Thanks !!!!! Are you on the Pump list? No, I'm not on the pump list. I haven't needed to pump in almost a year and a half. I have given some thought to donating milk -- and I found out I still have plenty when (18 months) had a breast milk poop two days ago! Unfortunately, there's no local milk bank here, and shipping it back to the US wouldn't be affordable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
