Hello and thanks! Me too Ellen I really should be
working right now |
|
11:00:52 |
Host_Housepoet |
We haven't had a formal chat in a while, mainly because
we just haven't had the time to put one together |
|
11:01:01 |
Host_Housepoet |
this one won't be as formal either, but we'll get
through it. |
|
11:01:18 |
rainingkisses |

11:01:36 |
Host_Housepoet |

|
11:01:46 |
Host_Housepoet |
we're going to the doc on monday to get the nystatin |
|
11:02:02 |
rainingkisses |
it has for us in the past; nystatin made it worse |
|
11:02:08 |
Host_Housepoet |
here is our mission statement for those of you who
haven't seen it. |
|
11:02:15 |
rainingkisses |
have you tried the candida diet? |
|
11:02:16 |
Ellen |
Usually we're approaching naptime now, so he's too fussy
to chat. We got up late today. |

11:02:19 |
Host_Housepoet |
Breastfeedingisnormal.org is committed to making a
positive difference in the perception of breastfeeding,
to making the practice of breastfeeding normal" again in
our society, and to replacing the onslaught of infant
formula found in today's media with breastfeeding
education and resources. Through political advocacy,
Breastfeedingisnormal.org promotes governmental support
and protection of breastfeeding mothers and their
children. Through education and support,
Breastfeedingisnormal.org promotes healthy alternatives
to formula use, encourages new mothers to begin and
continue breastfeeding, gives mothers the confidence to
nurse their children in public, and gives society the
understanding that breastfeeding is normal." |
|
11:02:58 |
rainingkisses |
hell yeah! |
|
11:03:18 |
Host_Housepoet |
We have to thank Anna Swank for putting that together
for us |
|
11:03:22 |
Host_Housepoet |
it's awesome |
|
11:03:34 |
alphapythia |
nystatin worked ok for us, but the main thing was me
getting on diflucan... lots and lots of difluican |
|
11:03:50 |
Host_Housepoet |
diflucan? I think I may look into that as well |
|
11:03:54 |
Host_Housepoet |
it's by script only |
|
11:04:21 |
LEVISJULES |
nice- I like the mission statement |
|
11:04:39 |
Host_Housepoet |
We got a very generous offer from a very talented site
builder to make the site so much more than it would have
been, with a great searchable structure and easy
updating, |
|
11:04:58 |
alphapythia |
yeah its the same pill they giive for vaignal yeast
infections, but to knock it out of breasts you need like
a double or triple dose the first day and one pill every
day for a week or two |
|
11:05:15 |
rainingkisses |
awesome, about the site building |
|
11:05:18 |
Host_Housepoet |
I can do that! |
|
11:05:20 |
Host_Housepoet |
that's easy |
|
11:05:26 |
Host_Housepoet |
Ive never had a yeasty before |
|
11:05:30 |
Host_Housepoet |
*knocks on wood* |
|
11:05:47 |
Host_Housepoet |
so yes everyone, the site is taking longer than
expected, but it's going to be so much better than we
imagined |
|
11:05:53 |
alphapythia |
if you get thrush badly enough.... you will..,. ugh |
|
11:06:12 |
LEVISJULES |
eck- me either, knock on wood- I hope we don't have to
deal w/ thrush either |
|
11:06:21 |
Hisrisingstar |
im very susceptible to yeast infections, does that mean
i would be more susceptible to thrush? |
|
11:06:31 |
Host_Housepoet |
so here is a peak at the site |
|
11:06:34 |
Host_Housepoet |
http://bfin.home.internal.org |
|
11:06:39 |
Hisrisingstar |
ive been nursing 7 months and havent had thursh yet |
|
11:06:44 |
Host_Housepoet |
not all the links are working just yet, but go ahead and
click around |
|
11:07:02 |
Host_Housepoet |

livejournal? |
|
11:07:09 |
Host_Housepoet |

11:07:11 |
talula_fairie |

LEVISJULES |

|
11:07:51 |
Host_Housepoet |
we are supposed to have it done by the World
Breastfeeding Week |
|
11:07:54 |
Host_Housepoet |
which is next week |
|
11:08:06 |
LEVISJULES |
I can't wait to show it to my SIL, she's due in Jan and
I'm trying to talk her into bfing this baby :) |
|
11:08:18 |
LEVISJULES |
ah ok- that's awesome! It looks great so far |
|
11:08:50 |
alphapythia |
re: thrush and yeast- well they are both caused by a
candida overgrowth so i would think it wouldnt be
unusual to get both together |
|
11:09:36 |
Host_Housepoet |
ok |
|
11:09:47 |
Host_Housepoet |
one thing that we really need help on is everyone acting
locally |
|
11:10:13 |
Host_Housepoet |
we need people to research in their own states who is
voting on breastfeeding legistlation, and which way they
are voting |
|
11:10:24 |
Host_Housepoet |
so when it comes time for big elections we can all vote
conciously |
|
11:10:41 |
LEVISJULES |
I'm going to my first nurse-in a week from Sunday- I'm
kind of nervous but excited |
|
11:10:50 |
Host_Housepoet |
We also need people to send us your local good/bad shops
that allow breastfeeding |
|
11:10:55 |
Host_Housepoet |
YES! |
|
11:11:00 |
Host_Housepoet |
I am running on this saturday as well |
|
11:11:06 |
Host_Housepoet |

|
11:11:10 |
Host_Housepoet |

|
11:11:22 |
Host_Housepoet |

11:11:43 |
alphapythia |

not to mention gross |
|
11:11:44 |
Host_Housepoet |
coffee shops that say 'we love to see you nursing in
here' |
|
11:11:54 |

baby |

11:12:00 |
Ellen |
I'd love to go to a nurse-in. I've only ever seen ONE
mother nurse her baby (a tiny newborn so hidden under a
blanket I wasn't really sure she was there) except for
the one LLL meeting I went to. |

11:12:29 |
MOD_ariana |

One of the brances of the Breastfeedingisnormal.org site
is Adopt A Mom |
|
11:34:02 |
MOD_ariana |
It's a program where experienced breastfeeders work one
on one with moms through email to help them through
breastfeeding |
|
11:34:12 |
MOD_ariana |
Giving them information and encouragement and helpful
tips |
|
11:34:21 |
MOD_ariana |
It's been a big hit so far |
|
11:34:29 |
MOD_ariana |
There've even been some growing pains |
|
11:34:41 |
MOD_ariana |
We've had about 50 women ask for help |
|
11:34:46 |
MOD_ariana |
and we have about 50 mentors |
|
11:35:00 |
MOD_ariana |
We still (and always will) need mentors! |
|
11:35:38 |

every time Adopt a mom has been mentioned in the
pregnant community there's been like a half dozen moms
asking for a mentor all at once |
|
11:43:52 |
Host_Housepoet |
aww thanks bean! |
|
11:44:02 |
Host_Housepoet |

|
11:44:05 |
Host_Housepoet |

|
11:44:10 |
MOD_ariana |

|
11:44:15 |
MOD_ariana |

|
11:44:19 |
Host_Housepoet |

11:44:25 |
tahoebean |

Host_Housepoet |

ONE OF THE OTHER MAIN POINTS OF BFIN |
|
11:44:43 |
Host_Housepoet |
IS TO HELP OUT AAM AS WELL |
|
11:44:53 |
Host_Housepoet |
BFIN WILL BE THE RESOUCE CENTER FOR AAM MENTORS |
|
11:45:00 |
Host_Housepoet |
TO BE ABLE TO SEND ARTICLES TO THEIR MENTEES! |
|
11:45:08 |
Host_Housepoet |
SO THAT'S WHY WE NEED TO GET THESE ARTICLES WRITTEN |
|
11:45:18 |
tahoebean |
ONLY IF YOU STOP WRITING IN ALL CAPS! |
|
11:45:20 |
Host_Housepoet |
and honestly if you ever see an article about bfing,
send it to us |
|
11:45:20 |

I think Breastfeedingisnormal and adopt a mom are really
two sides of the same coin |
|
11:46:53 |
Host_Housepoet |
we are also looking for alternitive words for the word
formula to use on the message board |
|
11:46:56 |
Host_Housepoet |
somethig funny |
|
11:47:07 |
Host_Housepoet |
yes I agree |
|
11:47:14 |
Host_Housepoet |
it's all apart of a greater scheme of things |
|
11:47:44 |
MOD_ariana |
Well, you want women to *want* to nurse |
|
11:47:48 |
MOD_ariana |
to view it as normal"" |
|
11:47:55 |
MOD_ariana |
but then you need them to be able to do it |
|
11:48:08 |
MOD_ariana |
and since we really have as a culture lost the art of BF
to an extent |
|
11:48:15 |
Host_Housepoet |
Next week, during WBF, I will be off school and can
dedicate more time to this again. Bean and her husband
have been working very hard at getting this site up and
running for us |

scociety views bfing |

Host_Housepoet |

11:51:25 |
mwalton |

page..but they are all so fantastic |
|
11:51:38 |
MOD_ariana |
alphapythia go for it! |
|
11:51:40 |
alphapythia |
ive been thinking about what to do to help friends bf in
the future and thought i might through a specific
breastfeeding" baby shower" |
|
11:51:43 |
Host_Housepoet |
heh |
|
11:51:49 |
Host_Housepoet |
oh wow! |
|
11:51:57 |
Host_Housepoet |
That is a great idea Alphy. |
|
11:52:15 |
Host_Housepoet |
I can see it now, pin the nipple on the booie! |
|
11:52:17 |
mwalton |
wow what a great idea |
|
11:52:18 |
Host_Housepoet |
boobie even. :) |
|
11:52:24 |
Host_Housepoet |
so what were you thinking? |
|
11:52:35 |
Host_Housepoet |
party games, and a standard list of books and whatnot? |
|
11:53:12 |
talula_fairie |
i laugh about sex all the time |
|
11:53:17 |
talula_fairie |
is that good? |
|
11:53:20 |
Host_Housepoet |
Alphy, if you have the time, could you write up an
aaritcle, including links to websites that have tons of
bfing books? and places to buy lansanoh, and breastpads,
pumps and whatnot. We could list it on the site under
personal activism |
|
11:53:48 |
MOD_ariana |
alphapythia I think that's a great idea |
|
11:54:01 |
MOD_ariana |
You know it's almost hard to throw a shower without the
bottle decorations |
|
11:54:12 |
MOD_ariana |
They're everywhere, invites, cakes, etc. |
|
11:54:16 |
Host_Housepoet |
ok, I just put up a thread in the advocacy forum on the
site for you to throw you ideas in |
|
11:54:22 |
Host_Housepoet |
anyone else want to help out, please do |
|
11:54:22 |
MOD_ariana |
A BF shower is the perfect antidote for that |
|
11:54:33 |
Host_Housepoet |
come up with funny, ideas for games, |
|
11:54:37 |
Hisrisingstar |
whewre can i go to buy those breastfeeding bracelets i
saw? |
|
11:54:39 |
alphapythia |
and thinking about what sorts of things i might
recomend- other tyhan everyone going in on a good pump,
if moms going back to wrok |
|
11:54:41 |
Hisrisingstar |
where* |
|
11:55:24 |
alphapythia |
hey great- im glad you guys like the idea :) |

|
11:55:32 |
Host_Housepoet |
it's a fantastic idea |
|
11:55:50 |
Janice |
re bfing baby showers - if you ever wanted to do a
fundraiser for the site, you could source & produce a
kit to sell- paper table clothes, invites, games, etc.
all with a bfing theme (not bottles) |
|
11:55:51 |
alphapythia |
i just want to get all my ideas down while i can still
remember them |
|
11:55:55 |
MOD_ariana |
alphapythia I think you could include a book or video
with nursing tips too |
|
11:56:06 |
Host_Housepoet |
that's a great idea too |
|
11:56:18 |
Host_Housepoet |
anything to do with the promotion of breastfeeding. |
|
11:56:24 |
alphapythia |
oh definitily- i always get people the baby book" by dr
sears for baby showers anyway-" |
|
11:56:44 |
MOD_ariana |
alphapythia Yes! Though they always already have What
To Expect. |
|
11:56:54 |
alphapythia |
but i think thats a little thing we could do on local
lvls, when we know a pregant mom- offer to throw a
themed bfing baby shower for her |
|
11:56:55 |
Host_Housepoet |
even making up coupons for the guest of honor, 'good for
one free foot massage while nursing the baby' or 'good
for one free home cooked meal' things like that |
|
11:57:11 |
Host_Housepoet |
such a fantastic idea |
|
11:57:12 |
Host_Housepoet |
wow |
|
11:57:14 |
Host_Housepoet |
I'm loving it |
