Guest guest Posted June 6, 2004 Report Share Posted June 6, 2004 Hello k_susan04@..., In reference to your comment: è I am breastfeeding my 29 month old. I am not on è antibiotics - the MD ordered additional lab tests today. è Should I continue to nurse? Is my son being exposed è to LD through breast milk? *******It is my understanding that the answer is " YES " .....Lyme has been found in semen, vaginal fluid, breast milk, tear ducts, saliva..... ******You can use this lab to test him, which I would do every 6 months should you get false negatives....

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Since zapping is a safe and easy way to boost your immune system, according to Dr. 's research, it seems a good thing to do with people of all ages. here in Abbotsford, B.C., we had a case of a month-old boy with severe thrush. They held the hand-holds on his little feet and zapped him. He was clear the next day. Blessings! Arthur 888-533-7007 www.BestZapper.com www.ForgetDrugs.com Breastfeeding I am wondering if any of you have any experience or insights on breasfeeding and zapping/supplements to kill parasites. My nursing baby is 2 months old and I have held off on all Dr. activies since finding out I was pregnant last December. Prior to that I have done 3 liver cleanses, the kindney cleanse, some BWT enemas, and many food and lifestyle changes as recommended by Dr. . I have heard wormwood is dangerous for babies. Am wondering if BWT and cloves are OK? I am fairly certain that zapping is OK. Is it safe to zap my baby? Or better to zap while nursing? Any insights would be appreciated. Thank you!

Having breast-fed while following this plan, my advice is to follow the plan as suggested, but stay away from oil of oregano. It can decrease milk supply. Nutritionally, this eating plan is perfect for breastfeeding and pregnant women.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Thanks for your reply. My concern is, won't this diet knock the body into a ketogenic state?

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 > Thanks for your reply. My concern is, won't this diet knock the body into a ketogenic state? Yep, but it's not going to hurt your pre-schooler. There's a lot of information behind this, but suffice it to say, I've low-carbed through two pregnancies, was in ketosis, and breast-fed both kids while in ketosis, and I had two large babies who're still perfectly sized. Even if ketones DID spill into your milk and thus got into your child's gut, they're not going to have any effect on your child's metabolism. Honestly, the most important thing is staying adequately hydrated. When we're nursing, we know how much drinking adequate water can help our milk supply. Get adequate liquids, eat well, and take the supplements, and your little one will be fine. For anyone who's interested, I'd be happy to provide my reasoning (and anecdotal experience) regarding ketosis and pregnancy/breastfeeding. in IN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But often, nursing moms scarf down food here or there whenever they can and forget about drinking something when they eat. Many women will pay attention to their nutrition, but they'll forget about hydration. It's all part of the big picture, ya know? Get the supplements, nourish your body with healthy food and drink, and you'll feed your baby well. I've known several women to eat picture-perfect low-carb diets but forget about hydration, and it does affect milk supply. That's why I wanted to remind the original poster to keep that in mind. Eating well isn't the only piece to the puzzle as you certainly know. in IN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 -obviously people who have the same information are going to make different choices based on their own values. I believe I passed Lyme to my child #3 in utero. I also breastfed him. He had some health problems. By age 8 he seemed to be sick alot, but had a normal life, in that he was active and a good student, soccer team etc. At that point I was diagnosed and treated so we had him treated also. He was on antibiotics about a year and did really well after that for maybe 6 years. Then he started to relapse in high school and we treated him again. Same again in college. He has been quite well for many years. I'm glad I breastfed him. All my other children also seem to have Lyme. Some have been treated, some have not. The non breastfed one is in denial. Right now he is having depression. He is employed, active, usually fine, but every time he has a problem, I think it 's the lyme acting up. He has never been treated. My oldest has some problems, night sweats, and feeling sick a couple of times a year. Not bad enough to make her seek help. She was breastfed. All my children grew up in the country exposed to ticks. What would have been the point of not breastfeeding when they got tick bites anyway? At the time we didn't know about lyme anyway. The evidence for human to human transmission is hypothesized but not proven. This doesn't mean it doesn't happen. I think it probably does but no one knows how often. Many people with Lyme seem to do ok, even without treatment. People will just have to make their own choices based on whatever evidence they find and believe, as well as the advice of their healthcare professional.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 I didn't breastfeed my plagio baby. There have been many in the group who have. I am sure they will chime in with some great tips. Angie and Jenna breastfeeding does anyone breastfeed a baby that has to wear a helmet , if so is it difficult ? my son is about to get a doc band and he is strictly breastfed . thanks !

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 - I was very worried about the same thing. Abby was actually still breastfeeding every 3 hours round the clock when she first got her band (as she was not growing and would not take a bottle). She never had any problem nursing with the band on, even at night when I nursed her laying down. I don't think your little one will miss a beat when it comes to nursing with the band on. It's amazing how well they adjust! I really think that is one thing you do not have to worry about.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 Hi , I breast feed my son and while it is akward at first, you get used to it. I have to admit that sometimes he seems uncomfortable and fidgety... but he is 11 months old and wanting to go do his thing, too. So go figure which it is?! The band also pushes up or sometimes down and onto his face, but I try to readjust it when this happens. In all, the band is no reason to stop nursing, it just takes somet relearning about how to nurse you sweetie!

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 My son Chad is 9 months and has been in his helmet for almost two months and I am still breastfeeding him and his twin brother. The key is that I still use a double nursing pillow. Otherwise when I am out his head is on my arm and it isn't too bad, but wouldn't want to do it that way all the time. Good luck!

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 my son got his 2 wks ago and breastfed between his fitting and spot check and on the way home and ever since then. He was and is fully breastfed. The first 2 times it took some getting used to, it was a bit ackward wondering if there was a best way to position him but it was basically just like it wasnt there but you dont feel their soft head.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 My dd only breastfed while wearing the band. It took a little getting used to - mostly by me - but it was really not a big deal. I found nursing while laying down worked the best - But I;m not sure if that is becuase of the band or becuase I am always so tired! :-) Jen and Luli - 20 months Left tort - Right Plagio - Hanger Band Grad - CA http://www.babiesonline.com/babies/j/jens5th/ breastfeeding does anyone breastfeed a baby that has to wear a helmet , if so is it difficult ? my son is about to get a doc band and he is strictly breastfed . thanks !

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 I am a L & D nurse/manager. I suggest you contact a lactation consultant. Call the L & D you plan to deliver at and find out their lactation consultant number and place a call. I would also get your OB's opinion. I have been in this business for over 20 years and have never heard that breastfeeding would aggravate any physical situation. In fact, the hormones released with breastfeeding generally contribute to both physcial and emotional wellbeing. The main restrictions are cancer chemotherapy and the biologics and mtx. If you are only on prednasone, I would definitly talk to a lactation consultant as they have a good pharmacology reference pertaining to medications. As a side note, I took prednasone in up to 60 mg in my last three weeks of pregnancy many years ago due to poison ivy all over the c/section site and breastfeed for 19 months. That child was and is extremely healthy. Dale Ellen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 > > Hi Bee and all, > > I just joined this group a couple of days ago. As I'm reading through the material, I find myself wondering if and how the guidelines (supplements, ratio of protein/fat/carbs, etc.) would change for a breastfeeding woman. I find myself eating what seem to me *enormous* amounts of calories every day - including a *lot* of animal fats - and certainly not only three meals a day, because of the low blood sugar crashes in between and feeling of almost-constant hunger. It feels very difficult to keep myself full for more than an hour without grains/legumes, although I'm not eating them right now. My daughter's a rapidly growing big girl - just over one year old - and breastfeeds for most of her nutrition. I don't have the need or desire to shift the amount we breastfeed; just wondering what you might have to say as far as any adaptations a frequently-breastfeeding mom could need to make. +++Hi . There are no changes necessary for breastfeeding moms, since there are, and have been, many breastfeeding moms on this program who have done great. You can continue breastfeeding as long as you wish. Since you are new please read two important articles so you know what everything you need to do and why: How to Successfully Overcome Candida: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/intro2.php Curing Candida, How to Get Started: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/intro1.php For encouragement and inspiration see these 200 wonderful Success Stories by members of this group: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/success/index.php The best in health, Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
