I can't take being doppelganged on some other newsgroups, so I've changed my name and spamtrapped my email addy. -- Lina Alena born July 1st, 2003 www.maternalinstinctscanada.com validate the email address before sending.

Is Egg nog safe while breastfeeding??? It's store-bought... I just wanted to check -- Lina Alena born July 1st, 2003 www.maternalinstinctscanada.com validate the email address before sending.

Does anyone else have trouble with a wiggly nurser? Alena will latch on, suck until she gets some milk and then she wiggles her bum! It normally ends up with her falling off the breast and then getting upset until she latches again! It was cute the first dozen times, now it's just starting to be...

I'm just thinking about breastfeeding and other cultures. (This was sparked by the "Am I the only one who finds this easy?" thread and by a book I'm reading called "Fresh Milk" by Fiona Giles. What do women do for breastfeeding problems in other countries? Things like mastitis, cracked nipples,...

It said to make sure the baby's nursing implements wouldn't break and that the nipple was firmly attached before feeding... Aparently I turned pale. DH read it, looked at me and told me I'd better hope not. Later on they refered to glass nursing implements, and I couldn't stop laughing thinking...

I know all the things to do to bring my supply back up, but can grief cause supply to drop? Alena's been nursing like mad since Friday, and I'm just wondering if it's grief causing my supply to drop. Things here are still hectic and probably will be for a long time. Any advice? -- Lina Alena born...

Yesterday I was at the dress fitting for my friend's wedding. One of her bride's maids is really uptight and "socially correct" about everything. All the dresses are being custom made, and when we were talking about how my bodice will lace up the front, she asked why. I told her it was because I'll...

Alena just spent a week in hospital because she stopped breathing. She kept stopping in the night while she slept and now she's having seizures and her heart's throwing PVCs. We're both tired and nervous, but glad to be home. Oh yeah. We also found out that her iron levels are really low and she's...

Can they show up on the areola as well? I have a few of them if so... They're making feeding uncomfortable to say the least... What should I do? -- Lina Alena born July 1st, 2003 www.maternalinstinctscanada.com validate the email address before sending.

I think Alena's teething, and for some reason, my breasts are aching! What can I do to fix this? -- Lina Alena born July 1st, 2003 www.maternalinstinctscanada.com validate the email address before sending.

Alena's almost 13 weeks old, and I'm still leaking all the time! I'm getting to the point that I just don't care, and if I'm at home, I go bra-less. I've also been dealing with super-letdown lately. I don't know why really, but what can I do to stop it? (It's bad enough to spray across the...

Alena and I are both fighting colds. I'm doing it by being miserable and hot. She's doing it by sleeping. I'm having to wake her up to eat. She's had 6 wet diapers so far today, and we'll be up for another 3 hours or so, meaning she'll make it to 8 before the night's out. But she's really lazily...

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone - apologies for the delay in replying, we've been away for the Easter weekend. I will definitely try alternating hot and cold, avoid soap etc. I've seen the gel breast pads, so I'll look out for them again. I'm sure it isn't mastitis :-) It is both breasts,...

I'm 15 weeks pg, and it honestly feels like my breasts are on fire. They are so hot, so sore, so *heavy*, and anything - even air - irritates them. The idea of DH touching me or of breast feeding in 5 months time is enough to make me scream. They've been sore for over a month now, and I kept...

Hi All, I've developed a small problem today while feeding my dd, who is 4 weeks old. It feels like I have a muffled feeling of pins and needles in my nipple, while feeding. It started this afternoon, and is still happening now, 5 hours later. I also have small white patches on my nipple, just...
