Re: Re: - have you read Mc Candless book?

[Guest guest]

,

nnes' situation with her child reminded me of mine. I just answered a

question she had about breastfeeding. Everyone is different and I'm sure the

choices you made for your child were best for your situation.

From Children with Starving Brains, Jaqueltne Mc Candless, MD:

Page 60

" Children who do not exhibit ASD symptoms may simply have had higher thresholds

or stronger immune systems. Breast fed babies have been shown to be less

susceptible to getting the disorder and some mothers have reported their child

became autistic shortly after cessation of breastfeeding, which is known to

convey many immunity benefits. "

Looking back I would have started up again also if I had known why the mushy

stools started, breast is best,

nursing necessarily protects children from autism. I nursed my other son

until he was almost three so, I am all for nursing.

nne,

I'm pretty sure you can get your milk flowing again, because I know some

moms' that adopted children and nursed them also. From what I remember you

have to start pumping. Check with LeLache Leage, I'm sure they would help

you and would not be surprised that breast milk keeps autism at bay. In fact

my 2 yr olds behavours started after I weaned him at 18 mos. First indicator

looking back was the loose stools too.

I wasn't passing judgement on anyone. You seem to have overlooked the fact

that I breastfed both my kids. I was just passing on my experience and

opinion. I have not read her book yet but it's on my list. I'm just

curious - does she site a study that was done to show that breast fed babies

are less susceptible to autism. The immunity connection is well known, of

course. I agree, it could be a link in some cases. I wish that

breastfeeding my youngest HAD protected him from autism but he was already

gone. If I had stopped and then he regressed I might have started again,

too.

I knew that you also nursed. Your message seemed to sound as if you felt guilty

about a choice you made in the past and you were influencing another mom to

change her decision to start nursing again. I loved the bond I shared with my

child when nursing. I kept him quite nursing during a 24hr flight at 18mos. and

he always slept with us nursing throughout the night. Sore or not I never felt

taken advantage of. Please be respectful of another mothers decision. It seems

obvious that since these children have a stressed immune system that

breastfeeding would benefit them. I'm sure you have heard of people

supplementing with colostrum? None of us parents planned for this burden given

to us, but what matters is how we deal with the responsibility. Therefore

holding their future in out hands it is our duty that we educate ourselves for

their sake.

I'm sorry you got the wrong idea. I don't feel guilty and again, I am not

trying to influence anyone. You are preaching to the choir on

breastfeeding! I agree completely.

Thanks for the pep talk,
