The specialist I have been seeing has been helpful in teaching us how to nurse a baby with reflux. It seems like they are very knowledgeable about bfing so maybe they could help with the overactive letdown. I had that problem too and it finally got better when she was about 3 months old and could handle the milk coming out fast. Where are you located? We live in Bothell, WA which is near Seattle.

Mom to 12/10/98 and Mikayla 6/22/00

Thank you ! I am working very hard to get a referral to

a feeding specialist. I found one at Children's Hospital. The

insurance says that it depends on what the diagnosis is and

all of that sort of thing. Finding out about a feeding specialist

could be a Godsend for us!!!!!

By the way, Bethany latched on 3 times yesterday for 10+

minutes each time! YEAH!!!! I do feel a little vindicated:

DH has been convinced that my milk is her problem and

that we should try formula. Well, last night I finally caved

a bit and we gave her formula (plus nursing all she wanted)

for three feedings. She nursed better for the first feeding

then was just as fussy with the other two. He finally

agreed that the problem isn't going to go away by changing

to formula!!!!! I am working on fixing the problem of foremilk-

hindmilk/overactive letdown to see if that will help. ,

are these things that the feeding specialist can help with also?

Thanks so much!!!!!

Rowan stopped spitting up when I started switching sides. I didn't start pumping until he was 5 months old though and the OSC was over with for us.

RE: introduction

Hi Amy Lynn and others,

Molly and were both huge spitters, too. So this method of switching sides really helped with the spitting? How does pumping play a role in all of this? How do most of you feel about pumping, especially as it relates to OSC?

Thanks,

Kim

-----Original Message-----From: Amy and Bill Sent: Thursday, October 19, 2000 12:29 AMTo: breastfeeding (AT) eSubject: Re: introduction

Welcome, Kim,

I'm Amy Lynn, currently nursing my second. I did not have OSC, but dd was prone to spitting up. I have done the 3 hr per side and then switch thing with her periodically to minimize spitting up. It also helped to stabilize my supply during initial engorgement.

I'd personally recommend trying this technique if your child only nurses one breast per feeding. I have never been a by-the-clock nurser either.

Amy Lynnmother to 1-25-98 and 2-10-00

I started feeding him 3 hours per side, meaning instead of feeding from both breasts every time or switching every feeding (which is what I was doing before) I would switch sides every three hours. Every time he wanted to be fed between 9 am and 12 pm he got the left side, then from 12 to 3 he got the right side (that's just an example). I also expressed the first letdown into a cloth diaper or receiving blanket because it made him choke and sputter. I introduced a pacifier then as well, he wanted to suck all night but always ended up puking lots in our bed. He took the pacifier well. After a week I had him weighed and he had gained 8 ounces so I knew we were doing ok. I noticed a difference in my letdown within that week and his colic symptoms went away.Give the Gift of Life Breastfeed!http://www.lactivist.com Give the Gift of Life Breastfeed!http://www.lactivist.com

[Guest guest]

What do you mean by switching sides? I let empty one breast and then

put her on the other one. Then at her next feeding she starts on the one

that she left off. I used the same method with my first one and she didn't

spit up at all.

We were discussing Overactive Supply Syndrome Colic earlier. Rowan and I had this for the first couple of months. I had to switch sides every three hours to settle my milk supply down. Here is a link with info about it http://hometown.aol.com/davisrnclc/myhomepage/oald.htm

I found that the three hour and switch sides helped with spitting because the breast was less full during subsequent latch-ons. The key was that the sessions had to be kept short for our dd when the breast was full or she'd overfill tummy.

Hi ,

I live in Texas also, but near Dallas. What hospital are you delivering

at? I just had a baby 3 weeks ago. I had him at Baylor here in Dallas. It

was a great experience for a hospital birth. My doctor let my dh deliver

the baby, they left us alone afterwards for about 2 hours, I nursed right

away, the baby roomed in, and they were agreeable about delaying newborn

procedures and not taking the baby out of the room for anything unless

myself or dh was with him. I'm hoping for a home birth next time, we had to

deliver at a hospital this time because I was under the care of an OB due to

a late m/c that occured right before I got pg with this one.

Congrats on your pregnancy and glad to see you here!

I'll be delivering at Seton Medical Center in Austin. I'm really excited

about it. That hospital is supposed to be one of the best in Texas,

and one of the five in the state that won an award for being so supportive

of breastfeeding. The nurses get awards for continuing education, too!

Last time, I delivered at Santa Northwest i nSan , and wasn't

very pleased. I expect this delivery to be much better.

My boyfriend (and father of my kids), Stone,

, this made me smile. My husband really, really wanted to name our son Stone but I had to resist. It wasn't a name that appealed to me for our son. He/we chose Drake Jordan instead. He has a lot of other 'off the wall' names and we have a very, very difficult time coming to an agreement. We still are so far away from a name for this next baby and it makes me nervous!!

BTW, I'm Fawn, sahm to Drake (as mentioned above:-) who's 27 months old and still nursing occasionally/self weaning. I'm currently 27weeks pregnant and my husband is a chiropractor. We live in central IL. Welcome to the list. There are a lot of very knowledgeable and supportive women here.

How funny! :-) Fawn

[Guest guest]

My boyfriend's real name isn't Stone. His given name is

Nikolai. His father is , so Stone is called Nikolai by his family.

I, my family, and everyone he and I went to high school with, call him

Stone because he looked like a member of a band we all liked who's name

was Stone.

So 'Stone' is just a nick name.

Welcome Pamela and Rich!

I'm sorry that this isn't more in depth but I'm pressed for time this

evening as we are going away for a few days...please forgive me.

Anyway, the first thing that I would do is to get a second opinion in

regards to Connor's ear canals. He very well may not be a candidate but

before I would accept this diagnosis, I would want to hear it from more

than one doctor.

Secondly, are you planning on having Connor's outer ears reconstructed?

If so, it is usually preferred that you wait until after this is

finished before having a BAHA done.

I don't have any actual experience with the BAHA, however a few members

here have them (or had them). I do have information that I collected

doing research and by talking to the CEO of Entific, the folks who make

the BAHA. I'm sure those who have more experience will be quick with

answers if you ask some specific questions.

Good luck to you and congratulations on Connor's adoption!!

Lynne,

Thank you for your info! We are planning to get a

second opinion, but know so far of only one other

doctor (in W. Virginia) who does the surgery. We are

checking around to see if there is someone closer. We

live in Central NJ and saw a surgeon who is about an

hour north of us. If anyone knows anyone who does the

surgery in Philly or NYC, we would love to hear about

it!

Hi Pamela and Rich,

Welcome to the group! Whew, you make me tired just talking about having two

3-year olds - bless you!

I don't have any experience with the BAHA's, except that I think they are

very beneficial. You may want to consult with some reconstruction surgeons

to discuss any drawbacks a BAHA may cause to future reconstructions.

Love, beth

Introduction

Hello everyone,

I'm new to the group and wanted to introduce myself. My name is and I

am 35. I have been battling my weight all of my life. I am currently at 550+

but I am working my way down. My short term goal is to get down to 500 and then

go from there. I am still looking for a place to get weighed so I can be sure

of my exact weight and track my progress. I look forward to getting to know you

all and losing this unwanted weight while cahnging my bad eating habits.

Sincerely,

I am so very sorry to hear of the heartbreaking loss of your son. You

have been through so much--I truly hope that you do not have AS.

But, if you do, you shouldn't lose all hope. If you find a good

doctor, you have a decent chance of being able to eventually conceive

again. I hope that your SHG does not show AS, but if it does, I would

highly recommend that you make an appointment to see an A-list doctor

for your treatment.

Best of luck to you.

I am so sorry for the loss of your son. I lost my daughter at 23

weeks due to PROM.

The change in your lining and your period is troubling and you have

the risk factors for Asherman's, although it is good you still get

the period you have.

I would wait to TTC until you get the SHG as it should show scar

tissue if you have any. My loss was due to incompetent cervix, but I

got pregnant with 25% scarring in my uterus, and my perinatologist

says that the scarring could have been a contributing factor.

Good luck, and let us know how it turns out.

[Guest guest]

,

I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your son. I hope that you find

there is another answer to your diminished period besides AS, but it

is somewhat refreshing to hear that your RE is taking you very

seriously. As said it is a good idea to do the SHG just to

be sure there isn't any scarring so that you don't have any problems

when you do get pregnant.

Best of luck in the coming weeks.
