Guest guest Posted June 15, 2000 Report Share Posted June 15, 2000 I certainly don't miss breastpads and waking up drenched with sticky milk - LOL It does let up though eventually Re: help?Are you sure the baby has diarrhea? That's exactly what I thought withmy firstborn, tilI learned that is what bf poopies look like. Is ismustardy colored with little seeds? If so, that is normal. Is there abm at every diaper change? If so that is normal. BF bowel movementsare a lot different looking than the meconium you are probably used toseeing. HTH.

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2000 Report Share Posted June 15, 2000 Krista, It sounds like she could be experiencing foremilk/hindmilk imbalance. which means she is filling up on the first milk to arrive in your breast (because there is so much) and doesn't get the richer and full of lactase (to digest the lactose in the foremilk) hindmilk. There are several ways to deal with it. I hesitate to tell you to only feed on one breast for a few hours because she is so young and you want to establish your milk supply. What you can do is to keep a diaper or cloth handy to catch the milk once it you have a letdown. So let her nurse and when your milk lets down take her off the breast for a minute and catch it with a diaper. That will make it possible for her to drink a little more hindmilk at each feeding. Also make sure that you are not limiting her time at each breast. Let her really nurse until she is finished with a side. If she only nurses on one side per feeding that is okay. I, personally, would still have her checked out just to make sure, but do be aware that there are many unsupportive pediatricians who might not give the greatest breastfeeding advice. Make sure you verify any recommendations of your pediatrician in regards to supplementing or weaning.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2000 Report Share Posted June 19, 2000 I figured out it wasn't diarrhea, see, we give her Mylicon Drops for gas, and whenever we do that, she gets really runny poop for about 2 diaper changes after that.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Patti, that part about the dog is funny, not so the dx and tx. I can relate in some ways. I was recently dx with fatty liver with inflammation and the treatment is to lose weight. I also have a lot of pain in hips when I walk, so I try to swim or ride my 3 wheel bike. I too have been ignoring my body and hip pain, but I have had that since I was in my 20's? I also have osteoporosis and can not tolerate taking the Calcium pills. I so consume a fair amount of dairy, greens and other calcium rich food. A year and a half ago I had brain surgery so have been dealing with a lot. I think the stress is hurting me more than anything and this liver issue is just more stress. It apparently can become a very serious situation and eventually develop into cirrhosis. The more I am faced with this, the more I rebel against diet mentality and eat all the " forbidden " foods, that add weight. Eating has always been one of my ways of dealing with emotions, like stress. I too was just getting to a good place on IE when all this came down. Then I began to doubt this IE practice at all and think about going back on a diet even if it is short term. Like most of you I was " successful " dieting for a while and was at a very good weight. I have to say I felt really good at that weight, both physically and emotionally. There are others here who have to limit what they eat too because of gluten intolerance or diabetes. I guess we all have to deal with our own issues. I keep trying to go back to the " third food group " of those foods that honor my body. Well I hope to hear more from you. Thanks Sandy  I was just dxed with developmental hip dysplasia. I'm kind of old for the dx as I'm in my 40's but I think it's in part due to my ignoring my body and pain. Anyway, the one thing I'm supposed to do to avoid major surgery is to (you guessed it) lose weight. This is stressing me out and I'm struggling. My weight has been 100 percent stable since I reatarted IE. Now what? I'm not permitted to walk or run (two things I enjoy). And to lighten this up, yes, this is exactly the same thing dogs get. It made me laugh at first because I do behavior consulting with dogs. My PA joked I spend too much time with my dog friends. Patti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Our first dog had 'mild dysplasia' in that what the vet explained was that his hip socket wasn't as deep and well formed as it should have been. The vet rated his level at 4-5 on a 1-10 scale. We never saw him limp or suffer from pain on this account so maybe your involvement is more slight than deep? This isn't to minimize your condition, but better understand its real implications for you. It cracks me up how many 'conditions' have an immediate " lose weight " mandate tagged onto them! Certainly excess weight can have in impact on our structures but if you lost weight Patti, your dysplasia would NOT go away, only be lessened pain wise? If your weight causes your mobility to be effected (rolling or limping gait?), I can see how you would be encouraged to focus on that. You mentioned that your weight has become stable since IE, has the dysplasia (related issues) remained constant too? Or has there been a new change that could be factored onto another causing reason? If you find that your weight is now a serious concern for you, perhaps this could be an encouragement for you to take another deeper and more serious go at IE - more focusing on mindfulness, hunger signals etc.? Just some thoughts. Wishing you all the best and a more comfortable outcome too.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Patti, Don't panic and go on a diet! Recognize that you are already doing the best thing you can as far as stabilizing and gradually decreasing your weight. Dieting is likely to make you GAIN weight in pretty short order and there is no need to set yourself back that way. You have been focusing on self-care and this is prime time to take a deep breath and release external demands towards rapid weight control. Be gentle with yourself. If you are feeling trapped by the stipulation that you not walk or run, maybe now is the time to try jogging in a pool. You might really enjoy this - the resistance is high, but there is no weight-bearing, so it should be safe for your hips. Or take up biking or swimming or some other activity to make your body feel good. If you were just seeing those as exercise to lose weight, forget the whole thing and refocus on calmly listening to your body's signals. Jane > > > I was just dxed with developmental hip dysplasia.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 There are lots of body therapy modalities that work on correcting misalignments. You might start with a search on them... Feldenkrais comes to mind, also Traeger (spelling?) and various structural re-integration... I can't think of my favorite right now - brain freeze... Just a thought.
