hello |

Mod_ariana |
Some times I think dh and I are the most
cautious condom users on the planet! |
|
11:05:22 |

galadriel2006 HI! |
|
11:05:27 |
Mod_ariana |
summermommy2004 Hi to you too! |

11:05:42 |
mwalton |
is today a formal one then? what's on
the agenda? |
|
11:05:55 |
galadriel2006 |
i can't stay for long, but i'm here for
at least about 15 minutes |
|
11:06:00 |
itsajenism |
hi |
|
11:06:15 |
galadriel2006 |
got class in under an hour |
|
11:06:16 |
summermommy2004 |
I only have a few minutes but I thought
I'd come before I have to go home to the
babe :) |
|
11:06:24 |
galadriel2006 |
hehe |
|
11:06:37 |
Mod_ariana |
mwalton no, it's a casual chat |
|
11:06:52 |
summermommy2004 |
Just finished class here... had a
Spanish quiz and got done a few minutes
early so I thought I'd check LJ while I
was otherwise unoccupied. hehe |
|
11:06:52 |
mwalton |
heh oh ok...i'm a little slow on the
uptake today ;) |
|
11:07:15 |
Mod_ariana |
Housepoet and I have both been so so
busy lately we haven't had time to come
up with formal agendas |
|
11:08:09 |
Mod_ariana |
mwalton how old is your baby? |
|
11:08:14 |
galadriel2006 |
hehe |
|
11:08:21 |
mwalton |
5 months...although with his sleep
pattern you'd think 3 weeks |
|
11:08:22 |
galadriel2006 |
i understand not having time |
|
11:08:40 |
Mod_ariana |
I feel like you've been around longer
than that |
|
11:08:46 |
mwalton |
we've been reading the no cry sleep
solution and implementing it..but
apparently since he can't read he
doesn't agree with the techniques ;) |
|
11:08:47 |
Mod_ariana |
I must be counting pregnancy time |
|
11:08:55 |
itsajenism |
haha |
|
11:09:12 |
Mod_ariana |
You know, I understand setting the stage
for sleep and all that |
|
11:09:28 |
Mod_ariana |
but I am a firm believer that kids will
sleep when they're ready |
|
11:10:00 |
Mod_ariana |
I never did any type of sleep training
either routines or CIO or anything like
that with my kids and William is 5 and
(most of the time) falls asleep just
fine |
|
11:10:08 |
summermommy2004 |
Me too... my 16 month old still doesn't
sleep through the night. I think I will
have a heart attack the night she does.
lol |
|
11:10:16 |
Mod_ariana |
James is almost 2 1/2 and he nurses to
sleep most nights but it works really
well for us |
|
11:10:38 |
Mod_ariana |
summermommy2004 both my kids started
sleeping through the night right about 2 |
|
11:10:41 |
mwalton |
i'd settle for him sleeping say 3 hours
at a block |
|
11:10:54 |
Mod_ariana |
do you co-sleep? |
|
11:10:56 |
galadriel2006 |
wow, i think i'd go crzay with that |
|
11:10:56 |
mwalton |
yep |
|
11:10:58 |
itsajenism |
that's the reason i didn't finish
reading the NCSS... i like nursing ds to
sleep at night |
|
11:11:14 |
summermommy2004 |
well... she starts out in her crib most
nights but she always ends up back with
me after 3 or 4 hours. |
|
11:11:16 |
itsajenism |
i don't see a reason to change something
that works well |
|
11:11:36 |
mwalton |
cosleeping is the only reason i haven't
actually been committed to an insane
assylum yet (since connor doesn't
believe in naps either ;) |
|
11:11:38 |
galadriel2006 |
we coslept with edmund until he was
firmly sleeping the night |
|
11:11:56 |
galadriel2006 |
then he moved to a crib, which was a
pretty painless process |
|
11:12:01 |
mwalton |
well that's not true..he takes 20 min
naps about 10 am |
|
11:12:12 |
Mod_ariana |
He sounds like my first son |
|
11:12:28 |
Mod_ariana |
He needs so much less sleep than the
average baby/person |
|
11:12:41 |
Mod_ariana |
It drives me crazy as I need MORE sleep
than the average |
|
11:13:13 |
mwalton |
see i don't need a ton..but i realized
yesterday that what I consider an
EXCELLENT night is one where he only
wakes up 4-5 times and i get 5 hours of
sleep |
|
11:13:23 |
Host_Housepoet |
mwalton |
|
11:13:29 |
Host_Housepoet |
how old is your son Connor? |
|
11:13:33 |
mwalton |
5 months |
|
11:13:35 |
summermommy2004 |
unfortunately i gotta hit the road
already ladies... time to go get the
little boober :) have a great chat!! |
|
11:13:37 |
Host_Housepoet |
and no naps? |
|
11:13:39 |
Host_Housepoet |
wow |
|
11:13:43 |
Mod_ariana |
summermommy2004 Bye! |
|
11:13:47 |
Host_Housepoet |
my Aiden doesn't nap ususally and he's
two! |
|
11:13:56 |
Nomentionofme |
hi everyone |
|
11:14:01 |
Mod_ariana |
Nomentionofme Hello! |
|
11:14:06 |
lifeisstatic |
How old were your kids when they started
sleeping in their own bed? |
|
11:14:08 |
ilovezoeystar |
Hey mammas! |
|
11:14:16 |
mwalton |
it's gotten better...now i usually get 2
20 min naps a day out of him (thanks to
the ncss) |
|
11:14:33 |
Mod_ariana |
William was 3 when he started sleeping
on his own semi-consistently (sp?) |
|
11:14:37 |
Host_Housepoet |
morning ilovezoeystar |
|
11:15:11 |
Mod_ariana |
but that was still in our room |
|
11:16:10 |
Nomentionofme |
i went to my LLL meeting last week and i
was so proud of one of the mothers....
right after Katrina hit she nursed 3
babies other than her own |
|
11:16:20 |
Mod_ariana |
Now he sleeps on his own in his own room
most of the time |
|
11:16:28 |
Nomentionofme |
because of the lack of formula and clean
water.. |
|
11:16:29 |
mwalton |
wow...good for her |
|
11:16:37 |
galadriel2006 |
wow... that's awesome! |
|
11:16:40 |
Mod_ariana |
Nomentionofme oh, that's so beautiful |
|
11:16:59 |
mwalton |
hope she's not suffering from oversupply
now! |
|
11:17:07 |
Nomentionofme |
she had been struggeling with supply
issues... not anymore :) |
|
11:17:21 |
galadriel2006 |
i guess not! |
|
11:17:27 |
mwalton |
lol yeah that's one way to up the supply
;) |
|
11:17:37 |
ilovezoeystar |
wow, thats amazing |
|
11:18:04 |
Mod_ariana |
Wow I wonder how much *time* she spent
nursing! |
|
11:18:15 |
Nomentionofme |
i believe a lot of mothers around here
will think twice about breastfeeding
now... |
|
11:18:16 |
Mod_ariana |
4 babies... that's a lot |
|
11:18:17 |
ilovezoeystar |
i thought about how lucky i'd be if I
lived there...having full nurishment for
my baby... |
|
11:19:45 |
galadriel2006 |
it must be so terrible to not be able to
feed your baby |
|
11:19:47 |
Nomentionofme |
well i evacuated but i kept thinking
when i would see the news footage wow
they would be okay if they would have
just breastfed their babies.... |
|
11:20:05 |
galadriel2006 |
just take things like the availability
of formula for granted |
|
11:20:19 |
Mod_ariana |
It's really sad. |
|
11:20:29 |
ilovezoeystar |
it so is |
|
11:20:38 |
Mod_ariana |
And it's hard to talk about it because
some people are so sensetive |
|
11:20:49 |
galadriel2006 |
especially since it's so danged
unnecessary |
|
11:21:10 |
ilovezoeystar |
i know, it makes me a little mad... |
|
11:21:16 |
Nomentionofme |
i mean i am in mississippi on the
gulfcoast and many places here the water
is still not safe |
|
11:22:03 |
lifeisstatic |
Well ladys I gtg. I have to get ready
for my wic appointment |
|
11:22:17 |
Mod_ariana |
lifeisstatic see you soon. Let us know
what happens with the next test!!!! |
|
11:22:19 |
Nomentionofme |
have a good day |
|
11:22:24 |
mwalton |
take care..hope you figure things out
with the test |
|
11:22:38 |
lifeisstatic |
will do *) |
|
11:24:36 |
Janice |
Nomentionofme - do you think the mom
from Katrina who nursed other babies,
would be interested in being interview
by a reporter, and sharing her story?
This needs to be documented |
|
11:24:53 |
Janice |
She should at least write it up for the
LLL magazine. |
|
11:24:57 |
galadriel2006 |
i agree |
|
11:25:31 |
Nomentionofme |
i am not sure i will talk to her soon
and find out.... i think she does need
to share the story though... |
|
11:25:38 |
Janice |
I'm sure I could find a reporter to
interview her, or even a bfing
researcher who would write up the case
for the medical journals |
|
11:26:11 |
galadriel2006 |
that would be a pretty clear witness
that women are made to be able to nurse
at least one baby |
|
11:26:18 |
Janice |
I know that sometimes researchers will
write up an unusual case like this and
submit it to the journals and get it
documented |
|
11:26:49 |
Nomentionofme |
most definately she is military so i
will try to get in tough with her this
afternoon... |
|
11:27:04 |
galadriel2006 |
military or militant? |
|
11:27:44 |
Nomentionofme |
she is a seabee in the navy so it has
been hard to get in tough with her with
all this post storm stuff |
|
11:27:51 |
Nomentionofme |
touch |
|
11:28:14 |
galadriel2006 |
gotcha |
|
11:28:38 |
Nomentionofme |
are you on livejournal also... once i
talk to her i couldpost there to get in
touch with you? |
|
11:28:51 |
Janice |
if she agrees. please email me at
momsformilk@sasktel.net |
|
11:28:54 |
Mod_ariana |
Nomentionofme is this your LJ name or is
it different? |
|
11:29:10 |
Janice |
I've never been on livejournal, I should
try it |
|
11:29:21 |
galadriel2006 |
yes |
