Intussusception & bf by
Irish Marie
Hi all
I was reading through the 'Breast is Best' book and came across a section in
it that outline 'some' reasons that might put you off bf. Mostly they are
fairly daft and easily overcome but there is one that has alarm bells in my
head.
It mentions that Intussesception is more common in...

Work by
Irish Marie
Well I went back to work today. Dh looked after Liam until 4pm and then all
3 children went to creche, they got on great.
I managed to pump 2 5ozs bottles and will pump a little tonight but it's not
enough to feed him, he needs 4 bottles, so it looks like I have to keep
combined feeding up.
I'm...

I think this doesn't, but... We nursed, I stood Caterpillar
up on my lap to see if she'd burp, and at least an ounce

5 months by
Irish Marie
Hi all
I know I have been quiet lately, I've been lurking :-)
Well Liam is 5 months today and we are still in the breastfeeding
game.........albeit not 100% of the time, but most of the time that I am
with him I will nurse rather than give him the bottle.
Last night we were both ill, and he spent...

Amount of feeds per day at 4 months by
Irish Marie
Obviously at the moment I am bf Liam on demand, but my mind has been racing
ahead a lot to the time when I will be returning to work and hopefully still
bf. I plan to express during the working day and possibly go to the creche
to feed
him at one point also as it is just upstairs from where I work....

Thanks for answering qs by
Irish Marie
Sorry I meant to update and say thanks sooner to all those who replied to my
last couple of posts.
The pain in my breast has eased off so I think that it must have been a
plugged duct. The two main culprits I suspect were the bra that I had on
the other morning, it is too tight and has a very...

Painful lumpy breast by
Irish Marie
Hi all
Well we had a baby son on the 2nd August, Liam Michael, he weighed 9lbs
15ozs. He latched on within 10 mins of birth and it was all going quite
well up until today.
Obviously I had my insecurities and confusions, like which side had I fed
him with last and had he been on long enough. But...

Foul-smelling poop by
Irrational Number
I don't think I bargained for this disgusting
poop when I started Pillbug on solids, did I???
Who'da thunk a teeny bit of banana and pear here
and there would have such an effect?
Beginning weeks, I thought his poop smelled
like buttermilk. Then, they started smelling
like dried breastmilk, but...

Semi-retiring from the newsgroup... by
Irrational Number
Hello ladies,
I want to thank you all for a wonderful, supportive
seven months! I really could not have kept breastfeeding
Pillbug for this time without your help, direct and
indirect. Through your posts, I found out so much
of what to expect and go through in order to have a
good BF...

dairy causing eczema? by
Irrational Number
So, based on what I've read here (especially Phoebe's
posts), I've decided to stop all dairy to see if that
helps Pillbug's eczema. He has had mild eczema for
awhile now, off and on. Last Friday I had a wisdom
tooth pulled and the dentist said to eat a lot of
calcium to rebuild the bone in the...

foul-tasting vitamin drops by
Irrational Number
Pillbug's pediatrician started him on the
combination vitamin/iron/fluoride drops,
which taste really foul (actually, I don't
mind, but Pillbug hates it).
The first couple of times, he was stunned
and I blew on his face (learned from this
NG) to make him swallow. This morning, though,

redness on breast by

I have what looks like an early bruise
on the outside of my left breast, except
it's not a bruise because it's looked like
that for 2 days now. It's reddish purple
and hurts kind of like a welt. There is
a slight bump.
I don't have any clogged ducts, I don't
think. Any idea what this could be? ...

I work in a computer lab with five men. I was
sort of worried about pumping at work, but today,

pumping logistics by
Irrational Number
So, how do you all do it? My pediatrician tells
me to pump after every feeding. Sounds good in
the abstract, but after a feeding, I have to entertain
the Pillbug, or change him, or something comes up.
By the time I'm ready to pump, it's no longer right
"after" the nursing.

thyroid problem by
Irrational Number
I have a thyroid problem. All of the treatment
options contraindicate breastfeeding. Am I stupid
for wanting to put them off until Rocky weans? He's
16 months old, so most people think weaning is not
a problem. But, he loves nursing. We still nurse
at least 5x a day.
