Guest guest Posted February 20, 1999 Report Share Posted February 20, 1999 Hi nursing mommies, My name is Amy I'm a sahm to three boys. I breastfeed my oldest two for one year each and am currently exclusive nursing my three month old. I live in Va. My favorite hobby is collecting Anne Gedde's I am a freak about that stuff. And I am a major talker. I am a internet fanatic and love these lists. I am a list owner as well and get about 200 e-mails a day so what will a little more hurt! Now that I found you all I have some questions. 1.I always supplemented my two older with formula, and am trying to pump for this one. I bought the avent bottle system and have tried using my medela hand pump. I have about 1oz and half in one day. How is the world do you do this? 2. Also is it okay to layer milk in the freezer? 3. I have been adding to my frozen baggie and hope it's okay. Will my milk build up? 4. And does anyone else's baby spit up constantly? is almost 4 months and is over 16 pounds so I know he's gaining but he spits up so much it's unreal. You'd think I was a first time mom I just forgot everything! Well glad to be here!

Guest guest Posted February 20, 1999 Report Share Posted February 20, 1999 - Oh wow you must have amazing help at home. How different is it not only have older children and a toddler, but having a boys after two girls? I'm starting to think this pumping thing is an impossible dream! Thanks for the greeting! Sherry- Hi there I'm in Manassas! Did you have those babies at the UVA hospital? Pretty scary story huh! Certainly made me think when I was having . What formula did you use for your first three? I supplemented with carnation and if this pump thing doesn't work I'm not sure what I " ll try. Thank you for the welcome.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 1999 Report Share Posted February 20, 1999 Wendi- Okay now I don't mean to sound dumb but where can I find goats milk? Is it at the local grocery store or do I need to head elsewhere? Is it homegized like cows milk? And can you give it to a little one?

Guest guest Posted February 20, 1999 Report Share Posted February 20, 1999 Amy, Welcome! My name is Wendi 29yrs. 2 kids. Kaija girl 7yrs. Zaid boy 15mo. still nursing. I still can't pump and have always supplemented with goats milk. I personally don't like formula and have never given it to my son. I only get a small amount pumping. I am taking fenugreek right now just to help increase my milk supply so Zaid won't wean yet. I have a friend whose baby spit up constantly until about 10-12 months breast or formula. She finally outgrew it and never had any other problems. Just be patient and carry a cloth. Again welcome.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 1999 Report Share Posted February 20, 1999 No I would not have had them there. I was in pre-term labor over there though with . I just kept praying for him to not be born there. That hosp is messed up more then the public knows. I fed Isomil (milk allergy), was Nutramagen (allergic to everything), Kaitlyn was Isomil.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 1999 Report Share Posted February 20, 1999 Welcome Amy I am a mom to four the youngest being almost 5mos. I am a " veteran pumper " having pumped for over two years now. (first for my 2yr and now for the baby) It is not a good idea to add fresh warm milk to frozen (it will defrost the top layer) If you want to add to frozen then cool the fresh milk in the freezer first. About the pump question, I think the amount you get will vary all the time. I know it does with me. Somedays I get 6oz a pump and others only 3, I have the avent also for home and use the medela classic at work. In the morning when I have an extremely abundant supply I pump on one side and feed on the other. Abby(the baby) had the spit up problem which they found out was reflux. Now she is on medications which have helped tremendously. Dont know if that is the problem with yours or not. They ruled out the fact that I was eating something that would have bothered her and then started her on medicenes. Sorry to be so long winded. Look forward to talking with you. a Oh I am in VA also.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 1999 Report Share Posted February 20, 1999 Amy, I get ultra pastuerized and homogenized goats milk at my local Safeway. I am not sure if they have it at all Safeways but they can probably get it. I gave it to my son at about 3 months. My ped said so long as he got more breastmilk than goat milk that it was okay. I started with it diluted half and half with water. I think you can also get it raw from health food stores. Won't last as long. Wendi Re: Welcome to breastfeedingonelist Wendi- Okay now I don't mean to sound dumb but where can I find goats milk? Is it at the local grocery store or do I need to head elsewhere? Is it homegized like cows milk? And can you give it to a little one?

Guest guest Posted February 20, 1999 Report Share Posted February 20, 1999 Welcome Amy! I am a SAHM also. My husband is in the Navy we live in Hampton, VA it is in between Norfolk and burg. I am a first time mom, so I can't realy help with many of your questions. I do have problems with my son spitting up a lot. Sometimes he will spit up almost everything he eats it seems like. The ped said he has reflux, it is were the flap on the stomach doesn't close all the time. As they get older the flap develops more. Although my husband and all of his side still have problems with it. It is like a cronic heartburn. Well that is about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 21, 1999 Report Share Posted February 21, 1999 Welcome Amy, I'm a SAHM to two DD's Catelynd (6 yrs) and Adeline (6 mths). I'm in Australia, so I tend not to be able to answer too many questions about brands, etc. I was wondering why you were pumping? (as well as feeding I assume). Hi to everyone else as well. I also did the Fenugreek thing when Adeline was two weeks old and I had a decrease in supply (which I think was stress related, lack of rest, death of MIL, travel to Melbourne by car, 10 hours south, on own with two DD'S). Worked like a charm for me and was able to stop taking tablets after about 14 days, when supply re-established. I'm after information on Mastitis. I've had two really bad cases (first bilateral, with a breast abscess, which had to be drained, intravenous antibiotic and 10 day stay in hospital, second " hospital in the home " for 48 hrs of intravenous antibiotics). I'm wondering if you are ever " out of the woods " in chances of developing it. I know it's more common in the first few weeks, then does likelihood decrease? Thanks Re: Welcome to breastfeedingonelist > > >Wendi- Okay now I don't mean to sound dumb but where can I find goats >milk?

Guest guest Posted February 21, 1999 Report Share Posted February 21, 1999 , I too have had mastitis...although not as severe as you. I know that it is not a fun thing! Anyway...i just wanted to make a few comments. When you feed your baby, make sure that you feed her long enough to empty a lot of the milk out of the breast, also, it is a good idea to try different positions to help fight against mastitis as well. I know that it is not fun...but, hang in there! Re: Welcome to breastfeedingonelist > > >> >> >>Wendi- Okay now I don't mean to sound dumb but where can I find goats >>milk?

Guest guest Posted February 21, 1999 Report Share Posted February 21, 1999 Amy, I know how frustrating to pump small amounts. I did layer my milk since I would only have 2 1/2 oz per pumping session and I didn't have room in my freezer to store a bunch of bottles. It is not reccommended to do this layering, but we had no problems with it. As far as the spit up issue goes, the amount usually looks like a lot more than it really is. I would, consult your health care professional...just in case. There is something called gastro esophageal reflux which can cause sypmtoms like the spitting up. Keep asking questions, these ladies have lots of great suggestions. - Jake 3-11-94 & Clay 10-22-97 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 21, 1999 Report Share Posted February 21, 1999 Hang in there before supplementing with formula. There are many options about how you can build up your supply. Just ask when and if you cross this bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
