Guest guest Posted January 1, 2000 Report Share Posted January 1, 2000 Welcome Robyn! I'm Michele, 29 y/o SAHM of 2 2/3 :-) Arran didn't bf (we tried) Keely still is and I'm looking forward to doing it again with a newborn. We may even be tandom nursing this time. We live in Edmonton Albeta and you can read more about us online at our homepage, the kids pages are indesperate ned of updating though lol Michele, mom of Arran 12-27-93 & Keely 12-5-97 #3 EDD 3-13-00 It's a Boy! ICQ# 13092478 Our Family Pages ~ http://www.telusplanet.net/public/jcrocker/index.html new member Hello, My name is Robyn. I am a 26 year old SAHM. I have 3 children, Darby(5) nursed for 10 months, Zoe(3 1/2) nursed for two years, and Ethan (8 1/2 months) still nursing. My husband is we have been married for 6 years. He works on the railroad and has CRAZY hours! I am in my first year of homeschooling and it is going great.I find being on a list is some kind of connection to the outside world. We try to live life pretty simply around here, all this new millennium technology doesn't appeal to me, I just want to raise great kids!! So here is my first question. I am NOT ready to stop nursing but am interested in ttc, any ideas? I didn't get my cycle till I stopped nursing with my other kids. Is there any ways to trick my body? I would have no opposition to tandem nursing.Thought someone might have an idea. Robyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2000 Report Share Posted February 10, 2000 na, Keep waking him, he will need that until at least all the jaundice is gone. Strip him down to a diaper and make sure the sun shines on him through the window. This will help break down the bilirubin in his tissue. Let me know what his level is. Nurse him as long as he wants on each side. You really want to flush out the jaundice. Wendi http://www.lactivist.com breastfeeding info & resources Re: New member Becky, That is so great to hear! We had the follow up appointment this morning and the doctor did say he looked a little better. They took more blood <<cringe>> and hopefully his bilirubin levels are down... we'll find out tomorrow! Thankfully today is a sunny day, so I think I will nurse him by the window. He's been incredibly sleepy lately, so much to the point I have to wake him up to feed him! na Becky wrote: > > > na, > I am also a first time mom and my ds had jaundice. > They admitted him to the NICU and told me that since > my milk hadn't come in I needed to supplement with > formula.

I wish I could take longer, however my leave is unpaid, and we really need to be a two income household. My husband is in the military, and let's just say we can't support a family on his income. I am very interested in pumping, in fact we are going to buy a pump tonight. We are looking at the Medela single pump... any thoughts or suggestions? na Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 10, 2000 Report Share Posted February 10, 2000 <<We are looking at the Medela single pump... any thoughts or suggestions?>> I have the double pump since I'm away from Will for about 10 hours a day. I pump 4 times a day. I seem to get more if I double pump. When I first started back to work when Will was 7 weeks old, I was single pumping. I was getting a lot, but I get more double pumping. ===== Patty House Mommy to born 7/30/99 Wife to Vince married 1/16/99 Our URL: http://www2.ticz.com/~vphouse http://www.geocities.com/august99moms/ __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 29, 2000 Report Share Posted February 29, 2000 Sharon, I think many of us had that 12 month goal, but found that our nurslings had the need beyond that time. It's a great goal to have I think, however. My second son nursed until he self weaned at around 18 months. I will have our newest member self wean too.

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2001 Report Share Posted April 18, 2001 Mira, I not sure why it's worse at night and some mornings for me, but that's the way it is. I've read a lot of different articles about pancreatitis and several of them mention that the pain gets worse at night. I don't think even the doctor's know except that it's also known in the medical community that the late evening hours are the " low " point of most people's metabolisms and that this is when things like sickness, colds, pain, etc, tend to feel the worst. Someone else mentioned that since our bodies are 98% water, they are also affected by the Moon, just like tides. How sure that is, I couldn't say, but it's as good a theory as any other. My doctor has prescribed pain medication for me to take when the pain hits and I usally end up taking one at night before bed, as well as a nausea pill as mine seems to get worse at night to. Hope this is of some help. Kimber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am happy you found us, only I wish you didn't have to fight this awful illness every day of your life. I know how hard that is! I have the same problems with doctors. They just don't know what to tell me most of the time. It stinks, man! I hope you will find some answers here, these people are so smart! Good luck to you, my new friend. By the way, one of my twins middle name is Kay and she loves it! She always puts Holly Kay on all of her papers at school. I thought she would think it was a very old fashion name, but she is very happy with it. I'm glad, that makes me happy too, there are too many people who hate their middle names.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2001 Report Share Posted April 19, 2001 Kay, first, get a new doctor, preferably a Gastroenterology specialist who deals mainly with the pancreas if at all possible. Where do you live? Possibly one of us who has a decent doctor lives nearby and can recommend someone. You wouldn't believe the difference a cooperative doctor can make. The lowfat diet and no alcohol and low protein are the best things in the way of eating. Plus pain pills to deal with the pain that occurs. However, a specialist might be able to find other alternatives, which might help with that too, which is why I recommend finding a doctor who 1) knows what they are doing and 2) is willing and eager to do their best for you. It can make a difference. I've had chronic pancreatitis for 14 years. Kimber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 20, 2001 Report Share Posted April 20, 2001 Mira, Welcome to this great group I am sure you will get many answers, I am 36 years old and have chronic pancreatis, I have also had stents and when I had the 8 week stent in was the only time I went without an attack and had no pain, so as you can see everyone is different, I do have the worse pain at night but am in pain all the time and live on pain meds. are you on pain Meds? I have put you on my list for thoughts and prayers ... I hope you get what you need from this group I know I get the best answers here more so then from the doctors...
