Guest guest Posted August 9, 2001 Report Share Posted August 9, 2001 In my experience, most nursing mothers are shy about it, especially in the presence of men, and are so discreet about doing it you hardly notice. If they're not it is of course totally natural and charming to see in any case. The men are just jealous! Wonderful to hear about those great health benefits too for mum and baby. Maybe not doing it should be illegal...

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2003 Report Share Posted March 7, 2003 Lesia, I will pass along the info..thank you so much. I am not sure what I will do myself, but it seems to be something that is not easy at first. Do success rates increase with specialists? lesiakyriakou wrote: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 I am a new member of sillyyaks. I have 2 twin daughters who are new members and are breast feeding. Does this seem to be acceptable for most breast feeding mothers? Does it supply all the nutrition needed for the babies? Any insight on this subject would be greatly appreciated.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 With my experience as a maternity nurse, my answer would be that breast milk provides all nutrition necessary until the child is ready for solid food. My children's pediatricians always advised us when to start solid food. It varied a great deal. My 19 year old formula-fed son was started on rice cereal at about 2 months old. I breastfed the rest. My next two children (15 and 13 years old) were started on solids at about 4-6 months. With my last daughter (11 years old), they recommended waiting until she was 8 months old. Try what we could, we couldn't get her to touch anything solid until she was 10 months old. They all did well on breast milk. My younger son didn't do as well on solids, almost being labeled failure to thrive before they diagnosed the celiac. Let me know if I answered your question. breast feeding I am a new member of sillyyaks. I have 2 twin daughterswho are new members and are breast feeding.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 Hi, I breast fed both my children. I was not diagnosed until 3 years ago when my children were adults. After I was diagnosed my daughter age 24 was diagnosed. Breast feeding is the best way to feed a celiac child as it is guaranteed gluten free. How old are your girls? were they diagnosed? fran breast feeding I am a new member of sillyyaks. I have 2 twin daughterswho are new members and are breast feeding.

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Hi Sandy, I breastfed both my kids while on a GF diet, and I think as long as you are eating properly--getting a variety of food groups, and eating plenty of fresh wholesome foods, you and your children should be getting enough vitamins and nutrients (even without wheat). Actually, you'll be getting more because you don't eat gluten! Eating gluten would rob you of your ability to absorb all the nutrition you need. The gluten free diet is allows our villi to heal and for us to get all the nutrition from the food we eat. You can always choose some GF vitamins and supplements, to add to your diet, too. If your babies turn out to be gluten intolerent, then you are doing them the best favor by staying on a gluten free diet! With twins, I bet you have to eat a huge amount of calories to produce enough milk! You go girl! Good luck! Connie > > I am a new member of sillyyaks.

Thanks ...Sandy ============ Sandy I have twins who I nursed. There are some great support groups on yahoo for mom's nursing twins. Current WHO recommendations are that infants should be nursed for a minimum of 2 years and for the first year at least their main source of food should be breastmilk. I kept my two off solids for the first 12 months and I am very glad I did because we saved ourselves a whole lot of bother with their GI systems. I wasn't diagnosed when I was breastfeeding but it is very possible to breastfeed when being totally gluten free. EAt a well balanced diet with lots of fresh fruit and veggies. you won't be able to use some of the lactogogues that are recommended viz. oatmeal (some celiacs do eat oats, I don't) and Guiness. My midwives told me to feed the babies, and then have a Guiness with lunch. it made a huge difference to my supply in the late afternoon. I think it worked because I relaxed and went to sleep.

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 My kids were started on solids at 6 months. the doctor told me to make them chicken soup with carrots and other veggies. they never ate cereal as babies. it’s a good thing daughter was diagnosed with celiac at age 24 years. I nursed my daughter until she was shy of her 4th birthday. of course by then she was only nursing when she was not feeling well... I nursed her through my second pregnancy and then tandem nursing until my son was 18 months old. it was a great sibling rivalry buster..if I nursed the new baby I could also nurse my daughter. fran breast feeding I am a new member of sillyyaks.

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 I am breastfeeding my fourth baby. My last is 3 months old, so I will only share my experience in regards to my other three. My first was 4.5 mos when we gave him rice. At the time, he had trunk support and took the food in without gagging or spitting it back out. He was 17 pounds at 4 mos and was quite a hungry nurser and quite a hungry eater of solids. He got to 20 lbs by 6mos. We continued to nurse past a year. My second and third rejected all solids until over a year of age. I mean - nada - until they were good and ready. When they did eat, they fed themselves from picking stuff up off of their high chair. They were 20lbs at 1 year. All of them passed their developmental stuff at one year including anemia tests. Breastmilk served my daughter as her primary nutrition until I finally weaned her at almost three years of age!!!! She is by far the healthiest due to this, and is on par with other four year olds in regards to weight and height (which is mostly genetic anyways). My advice is to let your babies tell you when they are ready for solids. When my oldest was 4 mos he started to watch every bite we ate, and he would attempt to reach food on our plates. This was not behavior we saw in the middle two kids. > > I am a new member of sillyyaks. I have 2 twin daughters > who are new members and are breast feeding.
