I think your rain has travelled down

Make the rain come here, it's hot and we
need rain |
|
12:08:39 |
Mod_ariana |
irangel If I could I gladly would |
|
12:08:46 |
Mod_ariana |
I don't like the rain. It traps us
inside |

sorry about that |
|
12:11:08 |
Mod_ariana |
I just don't understand why people so
concerned with healty eating would stop
BF |
|
12:11:51 |
Host_Housepoet |
ME EITHER |
|
12:12:08 |
mwalton |
yeah..that's just..odd |

Hey ladies....I just found out that my
MEaghan hates asparagus! I tried
nursing her about 2 hours later and she
screamed down the house and spit out the
milk! |
|
12:12:46 |
Mod_ariana |
wow, that's extreme |
|
12:12:50 |
Host_Housepoet |
oh my, that must have been a site |
|
12:12:54 |
Host_Housepoet |
sight even |
|
12:14:02 |
doulasteph |
I always new asparagus made your urine
smell funny but apparently it had a huge
effect on my breastmilk |
|
12:14:25 |
Mod_ariana |
that makes sense that something that's
change your urine would change your milk |
|
12:14:41 |
irangel |
Hmmm. I haven't noticed that today and
ate a ton of asparagus last night. |
|
12:15:00 |
doulasteph |
No more asparagus :( :( I LOVE
asparagus |
|
12:15:04 |
Mod_ariana |
Someone was just talking about asparagus
in the breastfeeding community |
|
12:15:09 |
Host_Housepoet |
when I would eat garlic, my son's next
BM would always have bright green flecks
in it |
|
12:15:09 |
Mod_ariana |
saying it's a diruretic |
|
12:15:13 |
Host_Housepoet |
it never changed |
|
12:15:15 |
ourwiefamily |
I was stunned by what she replaced the
breastfeeding with ... wheat grass,
almond and coconut juice? I wonder if
they made that up or if it really is
advocated as a breastmilk substitute? |
|
12:15:37 |
ourwiefamily |
I mean ... if the family created that
formula on their own (not if the media
made it up) |
|
12:15:47 |
Host_Housepoet |
yes, that's just not alright |
|
12:15:51 |
doulasteph |
I dunno. Not sure that I would be
comfortable giving mybaby coconut
milk.... |
|
12:16:02 |
mwalton |
ok, i know spurts are usually on the 3s
and 6s so someone PLEASE tell me there
is a 6 month growth spurt..cause connor
is acting all wonky again |
|
12:16:19 |
Mod_ariana |
mwalton Totally |
|
12:16:37 |
irangel |
I'd be concerned about the almond juice
with the allergy threat it could pose |
|
12:16:48 |
doulasteph |
My Meaghan just turned 6 months too and
she's backin bed all night with us
nursing quite frequently. I'm so glad
we co-sleep. I couldn't get up and down
everytime. |
|
12:17:04 |
irangel |
We definitely went through a 6mos growth
spurt with both kids |
|
12:17:23 |
mwalton |
thank heavens..otherwise I'd probably
lose my mind...without cosleeping I
would have lost the leftover fragments
months ago anyway ;) |
|
12:17:30 |
ourwiefamily |
My kids do growth spurts when and how
they want to do growth spurts. ;) Mine
didn't necessarily follow the book's
schedule! |
|
12:17:42 |
irangel |
Last night was the first night my 6mos
old" wasn't eating every 2hrs. Instead,
he went 4hrs" |
|
12:18:34 |
ourwiefamily |
Other things I've found increase nursing
in my kids sometimes is teething pain,
ear pain (from infectioni or just
irritation), and illness |
|
12:18:36 |
mwalton |
yeah connor doesn't turn 6 months for 2
more weeks..but he's hit all the spurts
a little early..so i was hoping that was
what this was |
|
12:18:45 |
doulasteph |
lol Walton. Its so funny that the
firstyear of a babies life we, as
parents, live a semi-conscious, half
asleep but happily baby focused life. |
|
12:19:34 |
irangel |
That's just supposed to last the first
year? |
|
12:19:37 |
doulasteph |
Has anyone's baby had an ear infection
yet? My last 2 kids haven't had any
infections as of yet (touch wood). |
|
12:19:39 |
ourwiefamily |
My youngest slept through the night
almost from day one ... I almost didn't
know what to do w/ myself (I tried to
change it, but she was getting enough
milk during the day and it was too hard
for *me* to wake up to an alarm clock at
night, then wake her) |
|
12:19:40 |
mwalton |
steph:that's for certain! |
|
12:20:23 |
ourwiefamily |
my baby has had some ear troubles ...
but we use Wally's Ear Oil and it works
like magic |
|
12:20:36 |
Host_Housepoet |
I've never heard of that |
|
12:20:39 |
Host_Housepoet |
where can you get it? |
|
12:20:47 |
doulasteph |
My Meaghan was sleeping through the
night. I would nurse her and put her in
her co-sleeper by the bed but each time
a growth spurt comes she just comes to
bed with me and stays there. |
|
12:20:47 |
Host_Housepoet |
I always used breastmilk |
|
12:20:48 |
ourwiefamily |
Got it at our local health food store |
|
12:20:58 |
mwalton |
no ear troubles yet but he's only not
quite 6 months |
|
12:21:00 |
irangel |
My oldest had one at 11mos and another
one at 31mos but that's it |

Nursing Mom's Diet May Be Key to Cutting

sugarcoated_poison_apple |
and not really surprising, when you
think about it ... i mean, any other
infection in a mother triggers her body
to help keep the baby from getting sick |
|
12:26:37 |
ourwiefamily |
btdt .. I had to cut dairy out for a
child who had a severe cows milk
allergy. Onions for another child.
Collic gone! |
|
12:27:00 |
Host_Housepoet |
exactly |
|
12:27:08 |
Host_Housepoet |
it's nice to see this information is
getting out there |
|
12:27:36 |
mwalton |
we've been lucky and not been visited by
the dreaded colic...I think it's God's
way of compromising for sending me a kid
who doesn't believe in sleeping ;) |
|
12:27:44 |
irangel |
isn't colic technically supposed to be
unexplained crying though. if it was
because of the mom's diet I wouldn't
consider that colic personally |
|
12:27:52 |
sugarcoated_poison_apple |
one of my sisters had colic ... i wonder
if my mom knew anything back then (21
years ago) about cutting out foods ... |
|
12:28:36 |
Mod_ariana |
irangel I think the deal is that people
don't think of diet so the food
sensitivities are unexplained"" |
|
12:29:10 |
irangel |
that would make sense then |
|
