Guest guest Posted February 11, 1999 Report Share Posted February 11, 1999 Wendi welcome to the list. You will enjoy it. It's great! I highly recommend the herb in capsule form - fenugreek seed. We, on this list have discussed this quite a bit. I have used the fenugreek and had great luck with it!!! Infact I'm going to restart it. 3 capsules 3 times a day til your supply is up they you can discontinue. Took me about 4 to 5 days. Others says fennel seed in capsule form. I like to drink fennel tea, but haven't tried the capsules. You can get these herbs in a healthfood store. Look in your local phone book. I have bfed al 5 of my kids thru teeth and everything. Your breasts will get used to them it just takes some time. Ofcourse, you never get used to being bitten! Oh the fenugreek will make your sweat and urine smell like maple syrup. I kinda like it. I do love pancakes. Now we especially like them with peanutbutter and syrup (and whipped cream). Thanks Cherie! S. Mom to Adam 11yob Dane 6yob 4yog 2yob Cody 10mob Introduction > > >Hello All, > >I am new to this list. My name is Wendi and I am 29 yo. I am married and live in No. Calif. We have 2 children. A daughter (7yo) and a son (15 mo.) who I am still nursing. I nursed my daughter until she was 13 mo. with very little support. My husband has always been supportive but no one else was supportive of me nursing a toddler with my daughter. Now I have surrounded myself with accepting people. I am very committed to nursing my son until he is at least 2 yo. The main issue I am having is that now I am in unfamiliar territory and am becoming somewhat frustrated with certain aspects such as his teeth and the fact that I've never had an abudance of milk with either of them. I am afraid that I will unconciously start to wean him because of my frustration level. With my small amount of milk it makes a huge difference if we miss a feeding for the next day. Then he clamps down more and I am in more pain. He doesn't really bite he just holds on with his teeth. Anyway I have complained enough in my introduction. I just don't have anyone to ask these questions of besides LLL. If anyone knows some great way to increase my milk that would be helpful. I have tried some things. I am an at home mom and we homeschool. Sorry about the rambling intro I am a little tired this morning. > >Thank you all in advance, > >Wendi > >------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 11, 1999 Report Share Posted February 11, 1999 LOL! I'm assuming your babe got a black eye in fall or something like that??? Anytime my kids hurt themselves people always ask how it happened. I used to get defensive. Thinking they assumed I asbused them. Now I think people are just curious and it does give them something to talk to you about. An icebreaker. S. Re: Introduction > > > Get out of the apartment!

Guest guest Posted February 11, 1999 Report Share Posted February 11, 1999 I guess I forgot to tell everyone about Marty's fall. He looks terrible but it could have been worse, he missed his eye. Marty ( 7 months) was sitting on the couch with his sister ( 4 years) she brought him to the edge of the couch, I peeked in and thought they looked cute. Then I heard BOOM and he was screaming. He hit his cheek bone and has a big black eye and now it is turning some pretty colors. I have been hearing some wonderfull stories of everyones first black eyes. The first gade boys think he looks cool! Betsy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 11, 1999 Report Share Posted February 11, 1999 , Thanks for the tip. I tried fenugreek tea but couldn't seem to drink enough. Didn't really like the taste. But the capsule I'm sure I could handle. The teeth thing is not going away. He's been using his gums before he had teeth. He clamps down so as not to lose my nipple when he's squirming. Almost everytime I nurse he leaves teeth marks on me. He isn't biting just holding on with his teeth. That part I could handle if I have more milk. I'm going to get the capsules tomorrow. Wendi P.s. Thanks for the welcome Re: Introduction Wendi welcome to the list. You will enjoy it. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 11, 1999 Report Share Posted February 11, 1999 Wendi, Welcome to the list! It sounds like you are a wonderful mom! I''m sure you will get lots of wonderful advise form the girls here! I wish I could be of more (some)) help but I haven't experienced either of these problems! Good luck!

Guest guest Posted February 11, 1999 Report Share Posted February 11, 1999 Wendi, I have the same issue with my 15 mob. I have not found anything to help, so tell me if you do.

Guest guest Posted February 12, 1999 Report Share Posted February 12, 1999 , I go back and forth thinking he is weaning and then we spend all day nursing. I am going to get fenugreek capsules today to try to increase my milk flow. I think if I can do that then I think he will be gentler. We'll see. We had a bad night last night lots of nursing and hardly any milk. I didn't sleep much. If anything works I'll let you know. Wendi Re: Introduction From: Mparker90@...

My son would kind of bite when he was teething but I would just say NO and pull him off and it kind of scared him and he stoped I don't know what to do about that problem just keep working with him I am sure once your supply gets up he won't have to suck so hard.
