strange places to nurse by
Anne Rogers
I was thinking about all the strange places you might have nursed a baby,
the best ones I have done are
* on a trolley in A&E whilst attached to a drip
* in the bath
* at the boathouse, having our post outing crew chat, stood in the boat
bay with huge male rowers wondering around
what are the...

6 month old with not great latch by
Anne Rogers
I think it is laziness with both of us, but Ada has slipped into not having
the best latch in the world, any tips for encouraging her, obviously the
same things as with a newborn apply, but some of them are more difficult to
do with and awake and heavy 6 month old!
We mostly feed lieing down due...

swollen nipple still by
Anne Rogers
I kept deciding it was bad and I would go to the doctors, then it would feel
a little better and I'd decide not to, in the end I finally decided to go
this evening, as I wasn't sure if I could wait 'til Monday and we have plans
for tomorrow. Conclusion, no idea, baby hasn't bitten, or had a bad...

DH not being supportive by
Anne Rogers
I asked DH to support me when I go to the doctors tomorrow, specifically to
make sure that I don't leave without something being done, i.e. still on
antibiotics and a come back next week approach, he has refused to do that,
to which I can only conclude he for some reason, despite me telling him...

and finally.... by
Anne Rogers
the weight starts to come off!
It's happened twice now, have baby, lose significant weight in first week
then nothing until after 1st birthday. I've breastfed both beyond the first
birthday, so it doesn't really make sense, very little has change in terms
of breastfeeding this time since about...

OT bra fitting by
Anne Rogers
I'll be in Seattle next week and I'm considering getting fitted and
purchasing new bras, my current bras seem to fit ok, but are seriously worn
out. If I want to do this job in the US it has to be next week, I don't
think it will wait 'til October.
So, which stores have good fitters and a good...

info on early milk storage by
Anne Rogers
I'm on a yahoo group, ukmidwifery, someone asked about breastpumps, I
responded, and as they were talking about expressing in the early days, I
encouraged her to do so, but warned her that the milk may not keep as long
and as it will contain colostrum baby might not like the taste if it's fed...

owie by
Anne Rogers
so I was all ready to pump first thing this morning, I woke up with my right
breast feeling achy, which seems to be just a case of it being fuller than
it has been for a while, Ada fed, which reduced that feeling slightly, then
it was pump time, which got me same as yesterday less than an ounce...

toddler breastfeeding by
Anne Rogers
I'm having a nightmare nursing Ada, 16mths. She's never learnt to demand
milk despite us trying to teach her the sign, so I basically end up guessing
when she wants a feed, which can easily end up being only once a day. Then
when she does feed, she goes for about a minute, then delatches and...

galactocele on nipple by
Anne Rogers
don't really know what these are but I talked to a breastfeeding supporter
about my persistent lump on my nipple and this was the only thing she
suggested, I need to call and make a doctors appointment to let him have a
look, but I wondered if anyone knew anything about them

"New Yorker's Diary" - interesting by
Anne Rogers
bizarre, funny thing is the 2 things I particularly noticed about her not
wanted to breastfeed were not getting engorged and not leaking, erm, isn't
that what happens if you don't breastfeed?
Oh well, there are always going to be some cynics out there

I discovered I can wash up whilst bfing.... by
Anne Rogers
.....shhh, don't tell anyone!
I wanted to pump after feeding and realised the pump needed washing, no
probs, I carefully balanced ds on the worksurface, holding him securely
with my left arm, but leaving my hand free, ran the water, washed all the
easy stuff, plates, glasses, cutlery etc and the...

how often should a 5 month old feed by
Anne Rogers
usually ds feeds about every 3 hours sometimes more often, sometimes less,
this morning I went out and I was going to miss one feed, so I left some
ebm, but when I got back he hadn't demanded any food, apparently he hadn't
even cried and had just played and then slept and generally been very...

cheapish double pumps by
Anne Rogers
I've found I can purchase either a Medela Mini Electric Plus or an Ameda
Lactaline for =C2=A375. They are described as lightweight double pumps. Has
anyone used either? The Medela one seems to be a double version of the
normal mini electric, which I had a lot of sucess with, until it broke.
I'll...

how often should I offer the breast by
Anne Rogers
ds has just got really enthusiastic with solids and doesn't really demand
the breast, he's nearly 7 months weighs a little over 13lb and clearly
needs my milk but in the day time he can't be bothered to ask for it and
has increased his night wakings, he used to go 11 hours, last night he
went for...

sertaline/zoloft and milk production by
Anne Rogers
I read in the patient information leaflet that sertaline has the side
effect of prolactin production which can result in abnormal milk
production. I'm really suffering with engorgement and plugged ducts and my
pump outputs are huge, this all started about 3 weeks after I started
taking sertaline...

OT another thing to worry about by

my hubbie might have to go to the states for a week at the beginning of
february, I am really not ready for this, we've never been apart that

Dr. Phil by
Anne Rogers
Heh...Ana now pulls my shirt at the front, peeks down and says "Boobie!".
Only at home...yet. I don't let her pinch though, because nipple twiddling
is a pet hate of mine. She's taken to biting too, not on the boob
thankfully, but random biting on our arms, legs etc. I don't even use the

swollen nipple by
Anne Rogers
I haven't a clue what is going on, but one nipple is swollen about double
the usual size, it's literally only the top 1cm or so, meaning that latching
is slightly painful first suck, but once she is on properly she's gripping
round the unswollen areola. It also looks slightly red. To the touch it...

I waited about 3 weeks after the last feed before posting that post, as I
continued to offer for a while and was only then I was convinced it wasn't
going to happen, but, today I had a bath with the kids, I was just
investigating to see if I still had milk and she saw and climbed over and
had a...
