those that *gasp* might not know about
her yet.... |
|
21:17:30 |
hathor |
that's okay! I traveled through a forest
of my incompetence and now I'm back! |
|
21:17:42 |
Webmama_Tina |
Hathor the Cowgoddess lives in the
middle of urban sprawl with her dearest
super-husband and three wee and wise
kids. She has had an unassisted birth in
the middle of her 700 square foot
apartment, she breastfeeds on demand and
in public, she shares sleep, maintains
constant contact and unschools. Not only
does she do all of this, she does it
with grand style and verve. |
|
21:17:52 |
hathor |
yep, that's me... |
|
21:17:52 |
Webmama_Tina |
and we're so glad to have you back! :) |
|
21:17:58 |
Webmama_Tina |
*cow* |

21:18:02 |
hathor |
So are there any questions? |
|
21:18:15 |
hathor |

|
21:18:33 |
Webmama_Tina |
hm, might need a kickstart...lets start
with taking a look at hathor's new sling
plans... |
|
21:18:42 |
SandraMort |
Those were fun |
|
21:18:43 |
Webmama_Tina |
http://thecowgoddess.com/ |
|
21:18:49 |
SandraMort |
But I can't tie a knot to save my
life... or the baby's |
|
21:18:55 |
hathor |
yep, I got that new comic out a few
minutes ago! |
|
21:18:55 |
Webmama_Tina |
on the homepage of her site, the current
cartoon |
|
21:19:04 |
Webmama_Tina |
wow really? |
|
21:19:10 |
hathor |
knot tying is easy...just find a
boyscout |
|
21:19:11 |
Webmama_Tina |
so did you think up this idea yourself? |
|
21:19:12 |
SandraMort |
I wouldn't rely on MY knot tying skills
to keep the kids safe! LOL |
|
21:19:24 |
SandraMort |
I don't do the BSA thing. |
|
21:19:28 |
SandraMort |
Ohhh no. |
|
21:19:32 |
SandraMort |
I'd ratherr buy a sling. |
|
21:19:33 |
SandraMort |
LOL |
|
21:19:37 |
hathor |
I used a sling like that for the whole
sling time of my middle child |
|
21:19:39 |
Webmama_Tina |
lol sandra |
|
21:20:00 |
hathor |
I cut rings out of a no-jo |
|
21:20:02 |
SandraMort |
What kind of fabric do you like best?
My all timie favorite handmade sling was
eyelet. |
|
21:20:06 |
Webmama_Tina |
so simple, wonder why i haven't seen
anyone else suggest it anywhere....is
this unique to you? |
|
21:20:09 |
SandraMort |
That's the BEST use for them!\ |
|
21:20:14 |
hathor |

tie them up |

Webmama_Tina |

21:21:21 |
hathor |
I had a mama the other day, take me to
task for not using real slings |
|
21:21:29 |
SandraMort |
Why on earth? |
|
21:21:35 |
hathor |
she told me to call her so she could
give me some sling instructions |
|
21:21:41 |
Webmama_Tina |
sometimes i look at tyren and i and
between him, me and the sling i think we
are one big clash! LOL |
|
21:21:54 |
Webmama_Tina |
lol seriously? |
|
21:22:01 |
hathor |
my first no-sew sling was taffeta |
|
21:22:10 |
Webmama_Tina |
wow cool |
|
21:22:16 |
SandraMort |
not too slippery? |
|
21:22:27 |
Webmama_Tina |
mamas, if you have a question for
hathor, please post a single question
mark and we'll get you in line |
|
21:22:34 |
hathor |
yeah, I assured her that I had about 30
slings and that I knew how to use them
:? |
|
21:22:45 |
Webmama_Tina |
lol how funny |
|
21:22:54 |
hathor |
not very slippery and good for a fancy
dancy thing |
|
21:22:58 |
Webmama_Tina |

|
21:23:13 |
hathor |

connection* |
|
21:25:20 |
Webmama_Tina |
at taht link, its the etc sling |
|
21:25:36 |
SandraMort |
No DSL yet? Ugh. :( Sorry. |
|
21:25:38 |
hathor |
Well, I've never been asked, you can
e-mail me to find out;O) |
|
21:25:38 |
Webmama_Tina |
its essentially a ring sling where the
fabric is split in half and you can wear
on both shoulders...really really cool |
|
21:25:48 |
Webmama_Tina |
dala :( |
|
21:25:53 |
rainbowthespian |
ooh neat |
|
21:26:09 |
Webmama_Tina |
yeah she has videos on her site i think |
|
21:26:15 |
rainbowthespian |
I am big fan of symmetry. |
|
21:26:20 |
hathor |
usually, I would just let you use a
comic, since I'm not very good at taking
requests |
|
21:26:27 |
Webmama_Tina |
http://www.slingsandmore.com/sling_instruction_videos.htm |
|
21:26:36 |
Daladyaphrodite |
that's a fab idea Hathor...I'll keep
that in mind. Can't believe someone
didn't think it was a \real\" sling" |
|
21:26:37 |
Webmama_Tina |
yeah its hard to explain, the videos are
easier to see |
|
21:27:10 |
Webmama_Tina |
ok jenn...you're up! |
|
21:27:26 |
hathor |
Daladyaphrodite, the mama who complained
to me was especially upset by the sling
that Hathor |
|
21:27:34 |
hathor |
wears, which is tied on the shoulder |
|
21:27:40 |
Webmama_Tina |
oh my |
|
21:27:51 |
Webmama_Tina |
that's like traditional south american
isn't it? |
|
21:27:53 |
hathor |
she felt that it would be too
uncomfortable and |
|
21:27:58 |
Webmama_Tina |
used for centureis |
|
21:28:03 |
Webmama_Tina |
centuries even, LOL |
|
21:28:16 |
JennR1026 |
Do you have any advice for plus size
mamas? I found the sling very difficult
to use. Although my children are well
out of the sling, I have a newborn
granddaughter that I will be taking care
of and would like to sling her if
possible. |
|
21:28:23 |
hathor |
I had to explain to her that its
artistic lisence, I would wear the knot
in the back in real life |
|
21:29:02 |
Daladyaphrodite |
LOL |
|
21:29:06 |
hathor |
JennR1026, the trick is to pick up the
baby in the comfortable way, and then
find a sling or carrier that mimicks how
you're carrying already. |
|
21:29:35 |
hathor |
If you found it difficult it probably
wasn't the right one for you |
|
21:30:05 |
JennR1026 |
I have a maya wrap that i have given to
my daughter to use. hoping maybe i will
be able to use it a bit better this time
since i won't be nursing the baby |
|
21:30:24 |
hathor |
I think the pouch is the easiest, but
you have to have just the right size |
|
21:30:40 |
hathor |
the maya wrap is probably the absolute
best for learning |
|
21:31:06 |
JennR1026 |
tyvm |
|
21:31:12 |
hathor |
the best advice is to hold the baby and
then put the sling on so that it holds
the baby for you in the same position |
|
21:31:18 |
SandraMort |
She left |
|
21:31:27 |
Webmama_Tina |
oh woops |
|
21:31:32 |
hathor |
are there anymore question |
|
21:31:36 |
Webmama_Tina |
not yet |
|
21:31:45 |
SandraMort |
I could think of some to fill up air
time ;) |
|
21:31:51 |
hathor |
a friend of mine was |
|
21:31:55 |
Webmama_Tina |
so while we're waiting...what does your
sling collection have in it hathor? |
|
21:32:00 |
Webmama_Tina |
enquiring minds want to know! |
|
21:32:07 |
hathor |
telling me that she couldn't use the
sling because it was too complicated |
|
21:32:13 |
Webmama_Tina |
brands you like, brands you don't like? |
|
21:32:18 |
Webmama_Tina |
er styles/brands |
|
21:32:29 |
hathor |
I had already done the comics and I was
horrified that she might think the
comics were about her! |
|
21:32:36 |
Daladyaphrodite |
*chuckle* |
|
21:32:50 |
hathor |
Now she is babysitting and I helped her
with a sling and she's using it like a
champ |
|
21:32:51 |
Webmama_Tina |
oh this was someone local to you, i
gather? |
|
21:33:02 |
hathor |
Its all in the confidence |
|
21:33:26 |
hathor |
Yes, a real life friend (she had never
told me she was an ergo mom :shocked: |
|
21:33:27 |
Webmama_Tina |
oh sorry, i missed the line where you
said \a friend of mine was\", lol" |
|
21:33:39 |
Webmama_Tina |
you don't like ergo? |
|
21:34:03 |
hathor |
I have 3 silk zolos (because I'm a
fanatic) |
|
21:34:14 |
Webmama_Tina |
zolos...zolowear? |
|
21:34:32 |
hathor |
Webmama_Tina, I'm not a big fan of the
ergo and yes, zolowear |
|
21:34:34 |
SandraMort |
WOW |
|
21:34:36 |
SandraMort |
Three of them? |
|
21:34:42 |
Webmama_Tina |
gotcha |
|
21:34:48 |
SandraMort |
Do you dry clean them? |
|
21:34:49 |
hathor |
yep. 3. |
|
21:34:49 |
Webmama_Tina |
then you probably don't like baby
trekker either? |
|
21:34:51 |
Webmama_Tina |
pretty bulky |
|
21:34:57 |
Webmama_Tina |
but it is comfy |
|
21:35:02 |
Webmama_Tina |
just too hard for me to get on |
|
21:35:19 |
hathor |
I don't like Ergo because I don't think
the baby is in a 'natural' carrying
position |
|
21:35:31 |
SandraMort |
I've got a patapum, supposedly like an
ergo. I find it almost as comfortable
as a wrap with my injury, but a lot
easier to get in and out. But I
wouldn't use it with an infant for that
reason. |
|
21:35:43 |
SandraMort |
For an infant I'd use a ring sling or a
wrap |
|
21:35:51 |
SandraMort |
Heya beckie :) |
|
21:35:57 |
hathor |
and I think that it sends a message to
new moms that baby carrying needs
products and instructions |
|
21:35:59 |
mod_beckie |
hello |
|
21:36:03 |
hathor |
and zippers and stuff |
|
21:36:16 |
Webmama_Tina |
hm, hadn't thought of that...interesting
thought |
|
21:36:21 |
hathor |
But I would never fault someone for
using it, I just like the sling |
|
21:36:23 |
Webmama_Tina |
you're back, beck |
|
21:36:25 |
Webmama_Tina |
:) |
|
21:36:34 |
Webmama_Tina |
i need both shoulders now with my heavy
one |
|
21:36:35 |
KateDWJMERMJ |
i like my wraps :) |
|
21:36:42 |
Webmama_Tina |
although i still use a sling for short
term use |
|
21:36:44 |
hathor |
and think that the sling is the
simplest, most natural way to carry |
|
21:36:44 |
Webmama_Tina |
but it KILLS |
|
21:36:49 |
SandraMort |
Hathor -You have to admit that the wrap
has a steeper learning curve than a ring
sling |
|
21:36:49 |
Webmama_Tina |
after awhile i mean |
|
21:36:53 |
hathor |
and I have used backpacks etc. |
|
21:37:06 |
SandraMort |
And when you have back injuries or heavy
babies, a ring sling won't work :( |
|
21:37:37 |
mod_beckie |
yes, I just got a Moby, and we had 4
mom's working on it on Monday |
|
21:37:43 |
Webmama_Tina |
so your 30 slings...are they mostly the
same kind, different fabrics? or do you
have a lot of kinds? |
|
21:37:46 |
Webmama_Tina |
(hathor) |
|
21:37:47 |
hathor |
SandraMort, I have a wrap, but yes I
never did figure it out and when I did I
was irritated that I couldn't change the
position easily |
|
21:37:47 |
mod_beckie |
by the time we got it figured out, Jack
was bored ;) |
|
21:37:53 |
Webmama_Tina |
lol beckie, yup |
|
21:38:08 |
hathor |
I have some hotsling pouches |
|
21:38:20 |
Webmama_Tina |

hathor, please post a single question
mark at any time |
|
21:38:22 |
KateDWJMERMJ |
i have 2 wraps, for me, it didn't take
that long to learn |
|
21:38:37 |
SandraMort |
I love those all, but I've got four bad
discs, so I can't carry more than a
young infant on one shoulder. |
|
21:38:47 |
Webmama_Tina |
oh i have heard good things about
hotslings |
|
21:38:59 |

21:41:30 |
SandraMort |
Dala - her house is probably a BIT
bigger. |
|
21:41:33 |
Daladyaphrodite |

|
21:41:43 |
SandraMort |
I could send you some slings... but then
you might not have room for the fabric
;) |
|
21:41:50 |
Daladyaphrodite |
HEHE, yeh |
|
21:42:02 |
hathor |
Daladyaphrodite, see I can call it a
work expense, plus quite a few of them

Webmama_Tina |

|
21:44:59 |
SandraMort |
WOW, time flew |
|
21:45:04 |
Daladyaphrodite |
I KNOW |
|
21:45:09 |
hathor |
the first 2 were 2 weeks late and If I
didn't kick start the births I would
have been induced |
|
21:45:13 |
SandraMort |
Ohhh |
|
21:45:20 |
hathor |
the third was 23 days late... |
|
21:45:21 |
Daladyaphrodite |
*nods* |
|
21:45:28 |
SandraMort |
Yeah, 23 days is really late. |
|
21:45:29 |
hathor |
which made us pretty nervous |
|
21:45:30 |
Daladyaphrodite |

|
21:45:52 |
Webmama_Tina |
wowee |
|
21:45:54 |
hathor |
but we *knew* that it was okay, just
nervous making |
|
21:45:57 |
SandraMort |
My second and third were evicted (castor
oil, etc) at 13 and 18 days over. |
|
21:46:10 |
mod_beckie |
Me too ;) 18 days was the longest
overdue for me |
|
21:46:11 |
Daladyaphrodite |
oh god please let me go before that
long.... |
|
21:46:14 |
Webmama_Tina |
gosh i thought i was late at 10days over
with my boys |
|
21:46:17 |
Daladyaphrodite |
I was induced with dd on my due date |
|
21:46:23 |
hathor |
AND there's things that castor oil
handles for you (poo things) that |
|
21:46:28 |
Webmama_Tina |
but then, its late to you at the time
when you are soooo ready for them to
come out |
|
21:46:29 |
Daladyaphrodite |
but fully effaced and a stretchy one at
40wks...prodomal, blah blah |
|
21:46:29 |
Webmama_Tina |
lol |
|
21:46:38 |
Daladyaphrodite |
so you know I don't know if I'll go over
but im hoping not too long |
|
21:46:39 |
SandraMort |
? |
|
21:46:43 |
Daladyaphrodite |
I\m already a bloody elephant" |
|
21:46:49 |
SandraMort |
Oh, POOH. |
|
21:46:51 |
SandraMort |
You're pregnant. |
|
21:47:00 |
SandraMort |
Don't make me hafta smack you. |
|
21:47:07 |
hathor |
I didn't really enjoy having my dh deal
with the poo |
|
21:47:16 |
hathor |
:D |
|
21:47:23 |
Daladyaphrodite |
seriously, I waddle like a friggin duck
and my pelvis feels like it's held
together by poorly attatched rubber
bands |
|
21:47:31 |
Webmama_Tina |
ok sandra has a question i think? |
|
21:47:36 |
Daladyaphrodite |
I have no intention of using castor oil |
|
21:47:40 |
hathor |
SandraMort |
|
21:47:48 |
Daladyaphrodite |
*pokes Sandy* |
|
21:47:52 |
SandraMort |
I'm just curious about your opinon |
|
21:48:03 |
SandraMort |
My third birth was at the home of a
friend. |
|
21:48:06 |
hathor |
Daladyaphrodite, yes I was really glad I
didn't use castor oil for the last one |
|
21:48:33 |
hathor |
I also tore with my last and would have
liked to see a midwife who could sew it
for me |
|
21:48:41 |
SandraMort |
She's a DONA doula, but not paid, and
had started a distance midwifery
program, but was really at the
beginning, and not within the role of
midwife. |
|
21:49:14 |
SandraMort |
I'm inclined to call it \semi-UC\" but
don't really feel right about calling
UC. But I've had people tell me that
since she's not a professional mw, it
was UC" |
|
21:49:27 |
SandraMort |
Not that the labels MATTER, I'm just
wondering your pov. |
|
21:49:33 |
hathor |
but I wouldn't change a thing about my
birth, it was perfect and I HIGHLY
recommend UC |
|
21:50:11 |
hathor |
Its hard to say, there are a LOT of
purists out there who would say no |
|
21:50:12 |
Daladyaphrodite |
*nods* I tore only a teeny bit with dd
so it's not a fear I have but I'll have
healing herbs and some phone numbers on
hand just in case |
|
21:50:21 |
Webmama_Tina |
for those that don't know... UC is
\unassisted childbirth\"" |
|
21:50:24 |
SandraMort |
Me me me, my number! ;) |
|
21:50:30 |
SandraMort |
Are you gonna webcam? |
|
21:50:53 |
Webmama_Tina |
there's glue for tearing... |
|
21:50:59 |
Webmama_Tina |
sounds weird but i hear it works |
|
21:51:08 |
KateDWJMERMJ |
ouch |
|
21:51:11 |
SandraMort |
Yes, it's similar to crazyglue |
|
21:51:12 |
Daladyaphrodite |
oh yeah, I've heard of that I may even
get some |
|
21:51:22 |
Webmama_Tina |
actually i've even heard in a pinch that
crazy glue will work |
|
21:51:24 |
Daladyaphrodite |
but unless it's a serious one, I'll just
use it as an excuse to sit on my bum all
day |
|
21:51:29 |
Webmama_Tina |
but there is an actual medical kind |
|
21:51:31 |
hathor |
SandraMort, but I noticed a real
difference between my 2 homebirths, the
2nd I let the midwife drive, the last I
was fully at the wheel |
|
21:51:35 |
Daladyaphrodite |
yeh, super glue works as long as you do
not put it IN the wound |
|
21:51:45 |
SandraMort |
Yes, the crazy glue can cause birns |
|
21:51:48 |
SandraMort |
BURNS |
|
21:51:51 |
KateDWJMERMJ |
gotta go get a water bottle for the
gerbil @@ |
|
21:51:58 |
SandraMort |
I |
|
21:52:01 |
SandraMort |
O |
|
21:52:01 |
Webmama_Tina |
i was gonna say, it seemed to me that it
would |
|
21:52:02 |
hathor |
Mine healed eventually, but took much
much longer, months than I would have
liked |
|
21:52:02 |
SandraMort |
O |
|
21:52:06 |
Daladyaphrodite |
there is also something mildly toxic
that shouldn't get into your bloodstream
that is non-existent in the medical kind |
|
21:52:06 |
SandraMort |
SHEESH |
|
21:52:17 |
Webmama_Tina |
ah so there ya have it :) |
|
21:52:21 |
Webmama_Tina |
didn't know that dala, good to know |
|
21:52:39 |
Webmama_Tina |
ok mamas, more questions for hathor? |
|
21:52:46 |
Webmama_Tina |
throw out a question mark if you have
one! |
|
21:53:01 |
hathor |
but the thing is that lots of midwives
think that stitches are silly anyway,
the cootchie will always heal |
|
21:53:18 |
Webmama_Tina |
if you have a question, not if you have
a question mark, LOL...since of course,
we all have question marks on our
keyboards i would hope, LOL |
|
21:53:36 |
SandraMort |
Well, I wouldn't want a deep muscle tear
to heal without some guidance. I've got
a friend who did and ended up needing
reconstructive surgery. |
|
21:53:40 |
hathor |
did I scare you all with the cootchie
remark |
|
21:53:40 |
SandraMort |
Better to do it right the first time. |
|
21:53:45 |
SandraMort |
Scare? |
|
21:53:47 |
mod_beckie |
LOL!! |
|
21:53:48 |
Webmama_Tina |
what about skidmarks? i swear that hurt
worse than my tear and took longer to
heal, ay yi yi |
|
21:53:51 |
Daladyaphrodite |
no |
|
21:53:51 |
Daladyaphrodite |
LOL |
|
21:53:52 |
hathor |
hee hee |
|
21:54:00 |
Daladyaphrodite |
yeh, I think for deep tears I'd go to
the hospital |
|
21:54:01 |
Webmama_Tina |
lol hathor |
|
21:54:09 |
Daladyaphrodite |
or call a local |
|
21:54:22 |
SandraMort |
Dala - I'd call a pro in, but would
avoid the hospital if at all possibke, |
|
21:54:27 |
Daladyaphrodite |
I'm keeping some comfrey onhand |
|
21:54:39 |
Daladyaphrodite |
which I think I spelled wrong |
|
21:54:45 |
Webmama_Tina |
ok so hathor i have a question for
you...what's on the horizon for hathor
the cow goddess...any exciting plans in
the works that you can give us a sneak
peak of? |
|
21:55:00 |
hathor |
I went to a midwife 3 days postpartum
and she said \oooh, and ooh\" and then
told me that she wished she had" |
|
21:55:09 |
hathor |
crazy glue, but didn't |
|
21:55:29 |
hathor |
and then charged me $75 and told me that
it would heal fine |
|
21:55:33 |
Webmama_Tina |
