Hello

[Guest guest]

Hi Raegan!

Welcome to the list...I'm fairly new here also, just a couple weeks or so.

About biting. If she is actively nursing, she cannot bite because her

tongue is pushed forward. She can (and will!) bite when she is playing

around, usually at the end of a feeding (and usually during teething times

- before a new tooth will erupt). Be careful not to scream out in pain, as

this may cause a nursing strike (happened with DS#1). Different moms have

different ways of dealing with this - as the responses you will get will

tell. It helped with DS#1 (who got his first tooth at 3 1/2 months) to

pull him off and say " No bite. Nurse " and then praise him when he latched

on and nursed again. I also would pull him closer to my breast so he would

latch on " deeper " . I usually gave him one more chance, and then ended that

nursing session if he did it again. YES, you can continue! I nursed him

until he was 19 months. Now DS#2 just turned 3 months and he got his first

tooth before he was even 3 months. Good luck!

Dear Jen-

Welcome to the list! My name is (, yes that's right) and I'm

a happily married SAHM to 3 kids. 7, 5, and Katelyn 21 mo.

Our 2 girls were 4 and 3 weeks early. I never nursed my first, I nursed my

2nd until he was 10 mo, and I'm still nursing Katelyn. There's a lot of

ladies here who can help you with the thrush and all, but I'm just glad

you're here. Hope to hear from you soon!

Jen-

Interestingly enough, I had only heard of my dd's name once before I named

her , but after she was born I found out it was the most popular name

that year. The same thing for my ds and my other dd; I guess I'm easily

influenced by popular names!?..

Jen,

Welcome to the list. Kaija is a variation on the hebrew name and is

supposed to be pronounced the same but we say it like it rhymes with asia.

As for the Diflucan, stay on it for 10 days or you will be back where you

started. It is also in my humble opinion that any weaning in a baby under a

year is a nursing strike and biting is very common at that age and not

considered a weaning sign. There are many tricks to solve biting problems

and you may find you need them with this baby if you plan on weaning

naturally. Many babies show great interest in the world around them at

around 9 months and need to be coaxed to nurse, just as an older child will

need to be reminded to use the toilet. Congratulations on your new baby and

I hope this is the last of the thrush for you. Are you taking acidophilus

to help balance out your system and get the yeast under control? Have you

cut sugar and refined flour out of your diet? Ductal yeast often

necessitates huge dietary changes to be fully conquered. If you need more

dietary information let me know. Again welcome!

Hello

From: tjbsmith@...

Hi, I am new to the list. My name is Jen & I am 29. I have a great hubby

named . We have a three year old son named (Ben) & a 4 week

old girl named (Becca).

I b/fed Ben until 8 months when he self weaned. I ignored the signs &

continued to try to nurse him anyway. That is until the day he drew blood.

I can handle some biting occasionally but, when blood is drawn I draw the

line. I decided to listen to him.

I am nursing Becca now. Initially she had a poor latch (she was three weeks

early, but that has improved. We are currently battling Thrush. The

Nystatin worked, but I stopped it to soon & it came back. It has invaded my

milk ducts & this time I am on Diflucn. On the second day it already seams

much better. I am also using Caldesene on her bottom. She is very gassy

due to my overactive letdown, (read " fire hydrant " ) & overactive milk

supply, (read " good candidate for wet nurse " ). Even with all the problems

nursing I have enjoyed it, (remind me of this when I complain after the

three hour nursing marathons).

P.S. , Where did you get the name Kaija? My husbands grandparents are

full blood Finnish. The family name is Kaija.

I had heard of the name Chase twice in my life. The first was in the 3rd

installment of the Batman movie series. Kidman's name was Dr. Chase

Meridian, and the second was the name of one of the children killed in the

OKC bombing. His brother's name was Colton. I read it in People magazine.

I thought it was a nice unisex name. BTW: His middle name is . We

thought of Paige because I have heard the name used, but not often enough.

Jen,

Congratulations on the birth of your daughter and welcome to this list. I

am new to this list as well. I have only been a member for about two weeks

now. The ladies on this list seem to have some wonderful breastfeeding

advice and are very supportive.

My name is and our son, Seth, was born on August 25th, 1999. He is

our first baby, and I am absolutely loving motherhood. We are still

breastfeeding and have been since his birth. It has been going pretty well;

however, I have had poor pumping quantity for about the last week which is

driving me crazy. I work full time as an Accountant so I am pumping at

work, and so far my son has only had bottles of EBM when we are apart. I am

29 years old also. I had a difficult time getting pregnant with our son;

however, after we did I had a pretty easy pregnancy, labor and delivery.

What kind of signs was Ben giving you to tell you that he was trying to self

wean?

Welcome and Congrats again!

and Seth (8/25/99)

Well, Michele isn't far behind in popularity, there are 4-5 of us on

one of my mailing lists lol My dad thought he was being unique with the one L

thing lol My kids all have unique names, there are NO other Arran's around,

it's an island off the west coast of Scotland. He was going to be Mikayla if he

was a girl, that was not popular 6 years ago lol I don't know any other Keely's

but there are a lot of Kayla's and Kayleighs etc and no one can pronounce her

name (Key-lee) she even gets called Hayley for some reason lol The next baby

doesn't have a name yet but we have Aidan and Ronan on a list, I'm leaning

towards Ronan myself ;-) Only met one so far, well dh did the night after we

started discussing Ronan as a possible, the salesman at Radio Shack is named

Ronan lol Dh asked him if he liked his name and he said yes, it was different

without being weird :-)

Hello Pege,

Rene' here welcome!! Glad that you have joined us. Sorry that we had to

meet this way, but you in the right place. Gee! Your life sounds interesting.

Bye the way, we will never get tired of you. Once again welcome.

Oh, I just wanted to let everyone know that I had to go to Pittsburgh, my

sisters' husband's mother died. I'm back in Ohio again. I'm looking forward

to joining the chatroom, when I get home.

I have forgotten who was keeping the files on everyone's address and

telephone number so when I get back to Pittsburgh. If it is at all possible I

would like to have a copy of the list. Although I'm using my sister's

computer I can't keep any messages in my file cabinet.

Pege--welcome to the best support group around. Am sorry you have RP, but

soooo very glad you've found the group. I'm sure you've heard this all

before, but the members of this group are the most caring group of

individuals you could ever meet. A great source of information and

encouragement. We learn by sharing our experiences with RP, good and bad.

Lasting friendships are formed here and are one of the biggest bonus'!

My name is Carol and I live in Minneapolis, MN. Was dx'd with RP two years

ago and have been fighting the monster on many different levels. Last year

had a bout with cancer in my left lung and lost a part of the lung. It is

thought the cancer was a result of the combination of toxic drugs I was

taking to control the RP, but the docs are not 100% sure on this (there's a

surprise!). Am currently fighting with blood clots in my legs (taking

Coumadin and off and on injections of Flavin). Also having considerable RP

flares in the legs and feet (taking Imuran and Prednisone). It's a tough one

right now, but have hopes that things will turn around soon.

At any rate, welcome, and please feel free to ask any and all questions you

may have. BTW, ceramics is a big part of my life right now--I thoroughly

enjoy painting them and welcome any suggestions you may have for me in buying

both ceramics and paints.

Chat with you soon. Take care. Carol.

Hello Everyone,

I am sorry it has been so long since I have written everyone.

and I are busy getting our new house ready to move into to. As of

this weekend our kitchen is set up and ready! I am thrilled for this.

We hope to be moving in by May 1st. If I can stay healthy

enough! *S*

Secondly, as some of you know I finally gave in to an

antideppressant. Not my finest hour I assure you! I have been fighting

this to it's last breath! I have felt that I was strong enough to

overcome things of this nature as I have always been a strong person.

The Dr chose to put me on Prozac. I am not handling this so well. I

feel defeated........I am not sure how I feel. I mainly have been

avoiding everyone. It's hard to put into words.

Before my car accident 2 years ago I was a very active on the go

person. Now I am reduced to taking drugs.......I am sick all the time!

I have the double whammy of this disease as I have many diseases rolled

into one. For those who don't know I have auto immune disorders as

well. If someone would have told me 2 years ago this would happen to me

I would have laughed them off the face of the earth.

I hope everyone is doing well and welcome to all the new people I

have missed! I am usually more on top of things.

God Bless, Becky

Becky,

My dear sweet friend, I just want to say one thing... you are not

defeated by taking the Prozac, you are a very strong person and if you just

give it a little time you will see that it will just help you in little ways,

since you are so strong it is going to make things just a little easier...I

didn't think I need it either but I have found that it has helped me alot

with little things I don't cry as easy and I think it is part of what gives

me some energy...and those two things were things that bothered me alot...You

are a great person and to me you are so strong you have been there for me in

so many ways and just want to say thank you for that...I am so proud to call

you friend...

Love you

My Dear Friends,

I was way behind in my e-mail but I am almost caught up now.

The trouble we have to endure with this illness isto be so uncalled for.I

just thought that I would share with you all what I had to go thru this

week.I had a regular schelded appt. with my pain doc on Mon. We have HMO

insurance and I have to have approval from my family doc every couple of

months or the insurance doesn't pay and I end up with the bill.My pain docter

has moved 3 times in the last 7month but this time he bought a building so

he will stay put.On Fiday my family docters office called and said that the

pain doc was no longer in the network and I would have to find a new pain

doc.I have been seeing this docter for about 2 years now.I thought that I

would call the pain doc and get it straight from him,I was so hurt and

scared.As you all know how impotant it is to have someone to understand.When

the receptionist answered the phone I asked her about the insurance she coped

a attitude problem,she was very sarcastic when I tood her how important it

was for me to find out about my insurance.She said just come on in and we

will see later and if it is not covered I would have to be stuck with the

bill.I then asked to speak to vicki{she is in charge of the insurance[ and

she would not let me talk to her.She said that she also was busy.Well by this

time I was getting very aggravated and she told me that she was gfoing to

hang the phone up on me.I then told her that she better think twice before

hanging the phone up on me.Finally I alsed to speak to the docter and she

said that I could not.Finally I told her that I thought that she had better

take the messages for Vicki and Doc and she did.She just kept running that

trap of hers till I couldn't take it anymore and I just handed the phone over

to my husband.He ended up calling insurance and getting things straight and

thank God I can still see this Docter.He happens to be the only Pain

specialist for 100 miles.That is unbeleivable.I decided not to tell the

docter about the person up front but in time I guess she will get whats

coming to her.I don't mean to give anyone a hard time but I am so tired of

the treatment that we get because of this illness. I hope that everyone has

at least a nice weekend.Later.Baskets of Hugs and Love B.

I understand getting attitude from doctors and their nurses. I have to

educated them every time we talk. Usually it is the issue that my Amylase

and Lipase are normal on my bloodwork. I have to tell them that if 90% of my

pancreas is gone then it cannot show " hot " from the bloodwork

in Florida
