7/27/05

23 mamas in attendance

11:00:06 Host_Housepoet Hello and welcome to another exciting edition of the Breastfeedingisnormal.org chat on advocacy. I’m your hostess with the mostess, Noel Pickett, infamously known as the evil housepoet on livejournal. My co host partner in crime is the lovely Arianamama, who is sweet and charming. If you have any questions, please double click on her name and that will open a small private window for you to chat with her in.
11:00:08 rainingkisses Hi  Noel :)
11:00:25 Host_Housepoet Again, my excuse for not being ready yet again is I have college finals this week and am battling thrush! WOW ITS SO MUCH FUN.
11:00:34 Host_Housepoet Recap of last chat  LAST FORMAL CHAT http://mommychats.com/transcripts/bfactivism04.htm
11:00:43 rainingkisses yeah, Noel, we've got thrush, too
11:00:48 LEVISJULES 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 Annie looks like she's got purple five o'clock shadow from the gv...
11:01:32 Host_Housepoet oh man
11:01:36 Host_Housepoet the GV didn't work for us
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 have you all signed up for bf_in_the_news on livejournal?
11:07:09 Host_Housepoet we are going to have a simliar feed like that
11:07:11 talula_fairie hello!
11:07:22 Host_Housepoet so when even a new breastfeeding story pops up it will be on our site
11:07:24 Host_Housepoet hey linds!
11:07:25 Hisrisingstar tht looks GREAT@
11:07:30 talula_fairie i apologize beforehand for bad typing, im nak
11:07:31 LEVISJULES is there an idea of when it will be done?
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 I am nervous about it too
11:11:10 Host_Housepoet but it will be fun
11:11:22 Host_Housepoet please send all info to info@breastfeedingisnormal.org
11:11:33 Host_Housepoet so we need your good and back doctors submissions
11:11:43 alphapythia heh if i could get dd to nurse in anything but the side lay position id go to a nurse in, but i think laying down in the middsle of a walmart would be a little much, not to mention gross
11:11:44 Host_Housepoet coffee shops that say 'we love to see you nursing in here'
11:11:54 Host_Housepoet places that offer you a good place to sit and nurse your 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 Also we need essays
11:12:31 monkeysmama The nurse-in doesn't happen to be in Denver does it?  I'd LOVE to go to one!
11:12:42 MOD_ariana on the attitude toward breastfeeding, NIP, etc.
11:12:53 MOD_ariana On how to make BF more NORMAL
11:12:56 Host_Housepoet like for me, it was Linens and things, and asked for a place to nurse and this chashier woman told me to go back to the bed sectiona nd get comfy! ;)
11:12:56 LEVISJULES the one I'm going to is in TX
11:13:07 MOD_ariana Any topic related to advocacy that you'd like to write an essay about
11:13:10 MOD_ariana chances are we could use it
11:13:17 Host_Housepoet has everyone joined the board?
11:13:24 rainingkisses i just did :)
11:13:25 Host_Housepoet http://breastfeedingisnormal.org/board
11:13:27 Host_Housepoet yah!
11:13:27 LEVISJULES yeah- I need all the help I can get- my husbands family is embarrased & my mom tells me just to quit & formula feed already
11:13:48 Hisrisingstar i want to go to a nurse out, but the closest one to el paso, TX is 6 hours away
11:14:00 rainingkisses so hurry up and activate me, you know you want to
11:14:10 Host_Housepoet if you are someone who said that you were going to help out, we know that things get busy having families and babies and whatnot. But could you please offer up your help again and follow through
11:14:16 Host_Housepoet we can't do this without you.
11:14:17 Hisrisingstar i wanted to organize one, but i only know one other breastfeeding mom, and we nurse out all the timne lol

11:32:12 MOD_ariana Feel free to start one up for your state, or join in if your state is already there
11:33:43 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 MOD_ariana If you have a passion for breastfeeding and have knowledge that you wish to pass on go to http://www.livejournal.com/community/adopt_a_mom/712.html this thread on LJ
11:36:00 MOD_ariana If you aren't on LJ please email us at adopt.a.mom.admin@gmail.com
11:36:10 iworshipsatin hello
11:36:41 mwalton The adopt a mom program is great!  My mom" has been incredibly helpful"
11:36:45 MOD_ariana If you come across a woman who could really use this help, a new mom you can send her to http://www.livejournal.com/community/adopt_a_mom/16823.html
11:36:58 MOD_ariana If she's still pregnant she should go to http://www.livejournal.com/community/adopt_a_mom/16919.html
11:37:21 MOD_ariana Awww,  mwalton  we love to hear abotu satisfied customers.  ;)
11:37:58 MOD_ariana A lot of you here are already mentors.  If you are the best thing you can do to help out is to regularly update us on your little sister""
11:38:08 Hisrisingstar do we just comment to the post if we want to become a mentor?
11:38:19 MOD_ariana If you have extra time you can volunteer to help out with some of the administrative tasks
11:38:37 Hisrisingstar i havent written a nursing story, its pretty basic eacept when my son got breastmilk jaundice""
11:38:43 MOD_ariana Hisrisingstar yes, if you want to be a mentor go to this post http://www.livejournal.com/community/adopt_a_mom/712.html
11:39:08 MOD_ariana The purpose of the Nursing Stories is primarily to introduce you to the little sisters and to help encourage them
11:39:19 conchispa well gotta go nurse and run to work :( buy everyone
11:39:23 Host_Housepoet and if you like, they will be listed on the site as well. :)
11:39:25 MOD_ariana For a mom whose baby has Breastmilk jaundice *right now*
11:39:27 Host_Housepoet by!
11:39:28 iworshipsatin bye bye
11:39:42 MOD_ariana it's very helpful to read about others who have had it and gotten through it and also to read what they did to get through it
11:40:00 MOD_ariana I think when women are just home from the hospital and they've got this tiny little baby who,
11:40:07 monkeysmama daycare called to come nurse - bye!
11:40:11 MOD_ariana won't latch, or has jaundice, or isn't gaining weight or is sleepy or whatever
11:40:17 Host_Housepoet you know what we need right away as well is someone to write a blurb about  Dr. Jack Newman  o Dr. William Sears websites
11:40:18 MOD_ariana they feel like they're the only one to go through this
11:40:23 MOD_ariana they feel so alone.
11:40:28 iworshipsatin i guess it is nursing time because Ethan wants to nurse now too
11:40:30 iworshipsatin ttfn
11:40:46 Hisrisingstar i am filling it out now!
11:40:53 MOD_ariana To read about moms who are in a position of authority" as mentors and to see that they had the same problems and got through it is really inspiring to them!"
11:41:12 Host_Housepoet all the babies want to nurse :)
11:41:31 MOD_ariana Nursing babies, that's what it's all about!
11:41:37 LEVISJULES I wish I was at home to nurse :(  I hate being a working mother
11:42:46 MOD_ariana Pretty soon with Adopt a Mom we're going to really start advertising on LJ
11:42:47 CrystalDOF I made it Noel!
11:42:51 CrystalDOF lol
11:43:11 MOD_ariana Trying to get permission to post in the different BF coms and maybe even in some of the pregnant communities
11:43:24 MOD_ariana We just have to make sure we have plenty of mentors
11:43:41 Host_Housepoet Hey crystal!
11:43:44 Host_Housepoet :)
11:43:44 tahoebean you can post in breastisbest and instinctualmama if you want, :)
11:43:47 MOD_ariana 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 I even told mrs_snail about it
11:44:05 Host_Housepoet she's having twins!
11:44:10 MOD_ariana That's cool, thank you bean
11:44:13 tahoebean neat
11:44:15 Host_Housepoet I want to hook her up with sleeping pill but I haven't seen her lately
11:44:15 MOD_ariana I'm working on a standard post for that
11:44:19 Host_Housepoet awesome
11:44:25 tahoebean yeah, I think she's been pretty busy
11:44:28 Host_Housepoet SO YOU GUYS
11:44:35 tahoebean there's also flutterby77, she's still nursing her 2yo twins
11:44:36 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 tahoebean :)
11:45:22 Host_Housepoet no.
11:45:29 MOD_ariana haha
11:45:30 Host_Housepoet it's the only way to get attention sometimes ;)
11:45:41 Host_Housepoet info@breastfeedingisnormal.org
11:45:44 ilovezoeystar HEY YA'LL!
11:45:46 Host_Housepoet we're always looking for other articles
11:45:48 ilovezoeystar hehe...
11:45:59 Host_Housepoet so please send them in :)
11:46:46 MOD_ariana 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
11:48:21 Host_Housepoet the work behind the scenes is amazing
11:48:37 Host_Housepoet we're hoping that this site, changes the way that the scociety views bfing
11:48:40 Host_Housepoet like ariana said
11:48:49 Host_Housepoet we want it to be normal
11:48:55 Host_Housepoet so open floor
11:48:58 Host_Housepoet any questions?
11:49:00 Host_Housepoet comments?
11:49:02 Host_Housepoet CONCERNS
11:49:03 Host_Housepoet heh.
11:49:41 MOD_ariana HAHAHAHAHA
11:49:50 MOD_ariana I just went to the board and saw rainingkisses posted something
11:49:55 MOD_ariana this was her signature:
11:49:57 MOD_ariana If you can't laugh about sex, you shouldn't be doing it." ~ Sue Johanson"
11:50:04 MOD_ariana That really cracked me up!
11:50:07 MOD_ariana sorry
11:51:10 alphapythia hey i have this thought ive been bouncing around- is it ok to bring something up?
11:51:25 mwalton i love the banners...trying to pick one for my lj info 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 :)
11:55:27 MOD_ariana Hisrisingstar http://www.lansinoh.com/index.php?submenu=BreastfeedingProtection&src=gendocs&link=AboutBPI&category=Breastfeeding%20Protection%20Initiative&PHPSESSID=755b571781a38608781270742cf1df0c
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
