Host_housepoet |
we have a mild case of thrush right now |
|
11:14:02 |
Host_housepoet |
so he's just....being needy |
|
11:14:15 |
Host_housepoet |
so sorry about the late start and lack of people in here |
|
11:14:27 |
Host_housepoet |
this is the problem with advocates, advocacy is not our
full time job! |
|
11:14:42 |
alphapythia |
gads thrush sucks, im sorry |
|
11:14:44 |
Host_housepoet |
plus we're going up formula exe. that get paid to
advocate for their product right? ;) |
|
11:15:39 |
mwalton |
yes, but they are stuck with a vastly inferior
product..so I feel badly for them ;) |
|
11:15:52 |
Host_housepoet |
makes their job harder having to LIE all the time |
|
11:16:08 |
Host_housepoet |
plus, I go to school full time and do freelance design. |
|
11:16:12 |
Host_housepoet |
so I have a full plate :( |
|
11:16:18 |
mwalton |
yes...that and the having to extricate their souls in
order to take the job..must make it tough |
|
11:16:22 |
Host_housepoet |
HA! |
|
11:16:24 |
Host_housepoet |
yes |
|
11:16:37 |
xxveigaxx |
Hey everyone |
|
11:16:43 |
alphapythia |
i persoanlly think formula should be by rx only and
shouldnt be sold by brand name |
|
11:16:57 |
Host_housepoet |
I feel yo on that one |
|
11:17:07 |
Host_housepoet |
I saw 'instant formula' at Costco the other day and
almost cired |
|
11:17:14 |
Host_housepoet |
I can't imagine what is IN that. |
|
11:17:51 |
alphapythia |
(and i use formula- but my dr was actually the one who
suggested that- he said, well, frankly, i think formula
should be only given by a dr. under dire
circumstances... with a rx, so i'm writing you one now,
so you know how reluctantly i encourage it"" |
|
11:17:57 |
mwalton |
you know so many people wouldn't dream of buying
products for themselves without knowing everything about
what's in the product but think nothing of just blindly
buying formula to put in their babies' mouths..go figure |
|
11:18:35 |
Host_housepoet |
yas and your curcumstances are different |
|
11:18:43 |
xxveigaxx |
Just the smell of formula tells me that there's stuff in
there I don't want NEAR me or the boy. |
|
11:19:14 |
Host_housepoet |
ew yes. |
|
11:19:16 |
Host_housepoet |
it is gross |
|
11:19:24 |
alphapythia |
its funny, using the stuff every day, it still smells
like a medicine to me, and thats really how i think of
it- my milk is my babies food and life source, and
formula is a medicine we have to use |
|
11:20:12 |
xxveigaxx |
That makes sense |
|
11:20:16 |
mwalton |
i hear you, I had to supplement the first 2 weeks
(glucose issues, only way they'd let him out of the
NICU) but when I got the all clear to stop supplementing
I cried for joy |
|
11:20:26 |
Host_housepoet |
that makes a lot of sense |
|
11:20:37 |
xxveigaxx |
You did an excellent job Melissa =) |
|
11:20:42 |
Host_housepoet |

|
11:20:42 |

alphapythia |

so glad to have the support |
|
11:21:56 |
mwalton |
it makes all the difference in the world doesn't it? |
|
11:22:04 |
MOD_ariana |
alphapythia what's been going wrong? |
|
11:22:24 |
alphapythia |
i got run over bny the PPD train about the same time my
daughter decided to start a nursiong strike, my supply
(little as it is) totally craped out, and i tired the
sns and met with total failure |
|
11:23:04 |
MOD_ariana |
:( |
|
11:23:19 |
mwalton |
yikes! i'm so sorry, good for you for pushing through! |
|
11:23:23 |
alphapythia |
it was just so many things in a few days, and i think
being depressed just made it all worse, i started
thinking that the (maybe 10 oz) a day shes getting just
werent enough to make any difference anyway and i was
torturing us both by trying |
|
11:23:34 |
serendipitylove |
hellooo |
|
11:23:43 |

|
11:24:47 |
xxveigaxx |
sounds like breakfast over here most days |
|
11:24:49 |
alphapythia |
but, i kept going, started pumping three times a day at
work instead of twice, and dealt with the depression
(well, at least acknoledgwed that i have it) and
s\things started getting better |
|
11:24:58 |
alphapythia |
i pumped 2 oz this morning, which is amazing for me |
|
11:25:03 |
serendipitylove |
Last night was a long night with Ben |
|
11:25:12 |
Host_housepoet |
alphapythia have you ever written out your nursing
story? |
|
11:25:15 |
mwalton |
yikes..i think i'll enjoy the nonmobile time with my son
then |
|
11:25:24 |
serendipitylove |
I think he had a nightmare or something because he woke
up screaming and wanted to nurse all night |
|
11:25:39 |
Host_housepoet |
sounds like my son last night |
|
11:26:07 |
alphapythia |
no i have house- im sorry, its just been crazy, i will
though, promise |
|
11:26:20 |
alphapythia |
oh crap, forgot to eat again- i have a cold and keep
forgetting to eat hehe |
|
11:26:37 |
xxveigaxx |
Baby alert brb |
|
11:26:38 |
serendipitylove |
I hate having colds nothing tastes good |
|
11:27:01 |
alphapythia |
sere- my dd seems to have night errors for lack of a
better term, is so sad- what does a 5 month old have to
have bad dreams about? :( |
|
11:27:11 |
serendipitylove |
thats what I was wondering |
|
11:27:27 |
serendipitylove |
maybe that we have our boobs cut off? |
|
11:27:55 |
mwalton |
I wonder the same thing when my little 7 week old laughs
or freaks out while sleeping...what experience is he
drawing on? |
|
11:28:05 |
serendipitylove |
probably watching us |
|
11:28:38 |
alphapythia |
oh mine would love to have my boobs cut off if they
still worked, that way she could be latched and watch
the ceiling fan, which is what she wants worse than
anything in this world |
|
11:28:38 |
serendipitylove |
what makes me sad is people that practice CIO...and I
wonder of their babies are left to scream when the wake
up like that |
|
11:28:43 |
serendipitylove |
brb |
|
11:28:51 |
mwalton |
must be..it's still funny to see him waking up though..i
swear he still seems suprised...a little now where am i
again?" going on" |
|
11:28:57 |
ncsujen |
lol ceiling fan |
|
11:29:26 |
Host_housepoet |
