alrighty mama bear, you're up! |
|
20:11:39 |
Mama_Bear |
regarding the risks of not bf, how do
they determine the statistic that 4
babies out of every 1000 die because
they are not bf, right here in the us-
a developed" country" |
|
20:11:56 |
Mama_Bear |
(from marsha walker's selling out
mothers and babies ;) |

iirc |

SaraD |
?" |
|
20:12:46 |
kellymom |
There have been at least a couple of
studies that have looked at neonatal and
postneonatal death and morbidity and
that's probably where those figures came
from. |
|
20:13:01 |
sexymommie |
hello? but is this the site where we are
allowed to aspk to kelly? |
|
20:13:21 |

my book is loaned out, lol |
|
20:14:22 |
Mama_Bear |
to a doula friend |
|
20:14:29 |
kellymom |
The studies I can thinks of, Mama_Bear,
looked at several illnesses where we
know that babies who are not BF fare
worse, adn went from there. |
|
20:15:16 |
kellymom |
I've got it right here, but it would
take a bit to look up the references :)
- I also have some references at my
website on this subject. |
|
20:15:20 |
Mama_Bear |
so it is probably a mix of the diseases
that a ff baby is more prone to than a
bf baby, and combined with the babies
who have difficulties tolerating
artificial infant milk.? |
|
20:16:03 |
akasha |
? |
|
20:16:03 |
kellymom |
I believe all the studies have looked at
specific illnesses. |
|
20:16:16 |
kellymom |
Does that help to answer your question? |
|
20:16:19 |
Mama_Bear |
okie doke, thanks.. i dont wanna take
anymore of your time :) |

mckennasmom03 |
First of all, I LOVE your site and have
used it often in the last 27 months. I
have taken domperidone for 22 months.
(Have tried unsuccessfully many times to
wean off.) So far, I don't seem to have
any side effects. Have you found any
with extended use |
|
20:16:53 |
kellymom |
You guys can always ask more detailed Qs
that need lookups on my message boards
:) |
|
20:17:46 |
Webmama_Tina |
side note on domperidone...dr jack
newman talked about it at his chat last
week...drat i need to get those
transcripts up...i'll work on those
asap...if you're on the egroup i'll post
when they are up. |
|
20:17:53 |
islandgirl |
? |
|
20:17:58 |
kellymom |
mckennasmom03, I have heard from a
number of moms who have used domperidone
long-term, and have not heard of any
long-term effects, but we also don't
have much in the way of hard data on
this. |
|
20:18:11 |
kellymom |
(on nursing moms, at least) |
|
20:18:39 |
kellymom |
I suspect there is is data on
non-nursing women or men when it comes
to long term use, but I'm not familiar
with it. |
|
20:19:07 |
kellymom |
Since this is an over the counter med in
many countries. |
|
20:19:12 |
mckennasmom03 |
I feel very comfortable taking it. This
is my last baby and want to let her
self-wean, so I intend to remain on it. |
|
20:19:34 |
kellymom |
I'm glad you've found it helpful for
your nursing relationship! |

mckennasmom, people not taking it to
help with lactation are on it long-term,
some of them all their lives with no
ill-effects |
|
20:20:34 |
kellymom |
Are we ready for the next Q? |
|
20:20:38 |
sarahariz |
Do you have any recommendations for
books on breastfeeding for someone who
couldn't breastfeed her first child and
is pregnant with her second? |
|
20:21:26 |
kellymom |
Hi sarahariz - there are lots of
breastfeeding books that I like. A
couple of fun reads are So That's What
They're For!" and Sue Cox's latest
(anyone remember the name?)" |

her husband is a physician... |
|
20:22:11 |
kellymom |
You might like to get something that's
been updated very recently so that the
more recent info on milk supply is
there. |
|
20:22:13 |
Mama_Bear |
sarah, kellymom has a bunch of great
links on her site :) |
|
20:22:21 |
sarahariz |
and the story was that her baby was
allergic" to her milk!" |
|
20:22:35 |
kellymom |
How about the AAP's Guide to
BReastfeeding, then? |
|
20:22:52 |
kellymom |
It's very good and written by
pediatricians (Joan Meek, MD is the
editor) |
|
20:23:03 |
sarahariz |
Thanks for the suggestions! I'll check
them out. |
|
20:23:47 |
kellymom |
Yes, I have book suggestions and lots of
info on getting started breastfeeding
(and also allergies :) ) |
|
20:23:59 |
kellymom |
(at my website) |
|
20:24:11 |

I'll take a look! |

my daughter is 2 weeks away from her
first birthday, she continues to mainly
bf around 8 months we played fed with
smashed bananas, sweet potatoe & peas
here and there, immediately she had very
painful bms so i wanted to stop intro.
foods |
|
20:26:33 |
batallaswhite |
but now she has started to demand food,
i have been feeding her regularly 2 x /
day for the last month and she had had
many more painful bm, so i hae stopped
again. |
|
20:27:07 |
kellymom |
Wow, this is certainly sometimes a
problem and of course some babies are
certainly still mostly breastfed at this
age . |
|
20:27:23 |
batallaswhite |
but she wants food, my local ibclc
recommended frutis only, my daughter is
not big on fruits |
|
20:28:14 |
kellymom |
Many suggest the p" fruits and veggies
for constipation (if this is the
problem) - I believe peas might be an
option too is she likes those." |
|
20:28:15 |
batallaswhite |
do you think it is ok to just let her
explore of off my plate but not feed her
regularly, could that help |
|
20:28:23 |
kellymom |
Absolutely. |
|
20:28:54 |
kellymom |
That's the way we introduced solids for
our youngest anyway - all self-feeding
and often it was grabbing from our
plate. |
|
20:29:10 |
batallaswhite |
i should not worry about her nutrition
needs |
|
20:29:28 |
kellymom |
My newest favorite book is called My
Child Won't Eat!" by Carlos Gonzales." |
|
20:29:40 |
kellymom |
And he addresses these issues so nicely. |
|
20:30:20 |
kellymom |
At this age, what you're looking for in
terms of extra" nutrients is mainly iron
and zinc. And baby can get those from
finger foods." |
|
20:30:59 |
kellymom |
Does she like meat? If you eat meat,
that can be a good source of iron and
zinc. |
|
20:31:07 |
batallaswhite |
my pediatrician says 2x a day atleast,
so i feel concerned like she will be
malnorished, but she bf on cue and loves
it and so do i. what are the best
finger foods for those supplements |
|
20:31:27 |
batallaswhite |
no i do not do meat but i do dairy |
|
20:32:02 |
kellymom |
Hmmm... I have a list of sources of both
iron and zinc at my website - you might
take a look at those to see what looks
promising. |
|
20:32:45 |
kellymom |
There are many, many babies this age who
are eating very little or no solids and
who are nowhere near malnutrition :) |
|
20:33:01 |
batallaswhite |
thanks so much, i will check them out.
Anything else that may be of concern
reg. her constipation? is she just not
ready? |
|
20:33:03 |
