Lynn,

Welcome to the list.

Introduction

I just signed up, and have already sent in a few responses, so figured that

I'd better introduce myself.

My name is Lynn, my dh is Troy, and dd born 8-16-99 is (Vee). She

is our first, and thankfully we have wonderful extended family who also dote

on her So our trick is to keep her from becoming spoiled, but every

family should have that problem.

Although it was mostly an act of will the first few months, we perservered

with bf and now love it! She loves to nurse and I can't imagine her ever

being ready to wean. My dh tolerates it We recently had an interesting

discussion, where decided that he wanted me to continue full time bf (I

planned to drop to just morning and bedtime so that I wouldn't have to pump

at work) so that we wouldn't have to buy formula. However, he resents the

time and energy bf takes, hates nursing bras, etc. Probably pretty typical

of husbands..

So I am still full time bf for at least a few more months. I pump at work,

using a PIS. I work a compressed work week, and dh is self employed, so

between the two of us we care for dd at home with occasional help from my

mother.

How that is all I needed for my intro. I will be writting often, I am sure

Lynn

There are basically 4 meeting topics that get rotated through. I would

suggest starting now so that you can hit all 4. The weaning/introducing

foods one may not be as pertinent but the first three are great for

expecting moms.

Thanks, So do I just call the local LLL for info on classes then? I

have never even delt with them b4, I only talked with the LC at the

hospital last time. She didn't help much. No one would ever address

solutions for my problems or any encouragment all they would say was

just keep nursing, just keep nursing. And my MIL would say that I

was nursing too often and that I shouldn't feed on demand and that

she never BF and her kids were just fine. AHHHHHH i just couldn't

take it anymore! Katelyn just kept vomiting and vomiting and I was

going crazy. Come to find out she was alergic to milk protiens. We

finally got her straightened out on a good formula but I really hted

giving up nursing. I REFUSE to give up again!!!!

Check the website first. Some groups keep quite a bit of info there.

www.lalecheleague.org <http://www.lalecheleague.org> and click on find

a local group, then it walks you through areas and may have leader

numbers listed for you.

Sorry I cannot give more details, personal email time is pretty limited

today. Since I access most of it from work, it depends on the work flow.

,

You should start attending LLL meetings at least 4 months before your baby

comes (if time remains) to attend a full series of meetings, but you can

really start at anytime. I found it nice to attend ahead, and then went on

to make friends with the other women who have children mines' ages.

To get started, find a LLL leader in your community/area and ask when the

meetings are--then just show up. These are not classes. The format is a

topic discussion and then open forum for any other questions.

DeShea,

Poe's birthday is on my Birthday! Neat!. Too bad you got bad advise the 1st time around. A lactation consultant suggested Sugar water? Wow unreal. That is never needed. Latch on is learned not instinct believe it or not. As for the LLL, I would call LLL international and complain about this leader. they are suppose to help you regardless if you are a member or not. I highly encourage you to find a new one and seek their help again. My LLL leader is the best!!! She said we do not need to be members at all and was/is just as helpful whether you are a member or not. Seeking professional help is really important. I can give you the e-mail address to my local leader too if you would like.

The 1st few weeks try to avoid any bottles or pacifiers as the can cause nipple confusion. Try a few different holds to see what is comfortable for you both. Co-sleep if at all possible. You will get more sleep doing this. Good luck

Hi! I am new to the list and wanted to introduce myself. My name isDeShea. I am 14 weeks pregnant with my second child. My first child Poe(ds), was born December 22,1998. I breastfed him for approximatly 5weeks but was unable to continue due to latch on problems as well ashaving very little to no support with my breastfeeding. I had never been around anyone who had bf'ed before so I didn'tknow what I was doing. My MIL just told me to stick it in his mouth andhe would know what to do! I called my lactation consultant every day andall she would say to do is keep trying or give him a bottle of sugarwater. My local LLL leader was of NO help, she said that since I was nota member of the LLL that she could not ( more like would not ) help me.So as you can tell I have had my share of problems on my breastfeedingroad. I wholeheartedly plan to breastfeed this child when it is born. Ihave since read many books on breastfeeding as well as joined e-mailcircles, found wonderful breastfeeding friends and started breastfeedingclasses. My only main cocern right now is that I am financially unableto stay at home with my child past my 12 week (unpaid) maternity leave.I know that I am going to have to purchase a pump. Right now I am unabletp decide which one would be the best for my needs. I have heard thatthe Medela Pump in Style and the Purely Yours by Ameda Egnell were bothfabulous pumps.

DeShea,

Welcome to the list. I am sorry to hear you didn't get the support you

needed with your first. I hope this time around you get all the support you

need and more. As for the pumps I would say that for you the Ameda Purely

Yours would be a good choice. It is a good pump and is much less expensive

than the PIS. It also is a closed system so it can't be contaminated with

milk.

a member of the LLL that she could not ( more like would not ) help me.

So as you can tell I have had my share of problems on my breastfeeding

road.

I wholeheartedly plan to breastfeed this child when it is born. I

have since read many books on breastfeeding as well as joined e-mail

circles, found wonderful breastfeeding friends and started breastfeeding

classes. My only main cocern right now is that I am financially unable

to stay at home with my child past my 12 week (unpaid) maternity leave.

I know that I am going to have to purchase a pump. Right now I am unable

tp decide which one would be the best for my needs. I have heard that

the Medela Pump in Style and the Purely Yours by Ameda Egnell were both

fabulous pumps. Can anyone help with this situation?

Oh well, I have knawed off your ears for long enough in this

letter, I will write more later.

Sincerely,

DeShea
