Hi Everyone,My daughter is due to have her first baby in December.She plans to breastfeed (yay!)What are some things she can do now and after the baby's birthto ensure good milk production/latching?(I was a freaking cow - milk came very easy for me. It's not something I had to work for.)She worries (which doesn't help). I think if she is proactive, it will help physically and mentally.I'd love to hear what everyone has to share.Thanks!Tammy

And get set up with a good lactation consultant ahead of time...i had a hard time with latching and milk production ...my first child couldn't latch at all so I had to pump and give him a bottle and try to teach him how to latch (he had major oral motor issues), bloody nipples and yeast infections...and I finally ran out after a month and mastitis...for our second one (who was a much better latcher) I had a good lactation consulatant coming every day for the first week and then every couple days for a few weeks...we nursed until 18months...but yes keep the stress down and drink lots of fluids...-- Sent from my Palm Pre

Tammy, once she starts breastfeeding, if she wants to increase milk production,

oatmeal really helps. And of course hydration, nursing at least every three

hours initially and making sure to air dry after nursing, all thid would help. I

had to deal w yeast also and I agree w that probiotics will help. Wish het

good luck from me. She will be an awesome mom like u.

Tammy,

Some REALLY GOOD articles on this subject that I've saved on my favorite posts spreadsheet...enjoy! I had a TOTALLY different experience w/my daughter's pregnancy & delivery than w/my sons. Yes, some of it was I was more confident as a 2nd time mom....but even more I had start biomed on my son so I'd gained many natural things to do to improve all of our overall health....though I wish I'd had some of the info that I'm sending you below. Extra Probiotics prior to delivery are a MUST (my daughter had the most beautiful skin...NO thrush either in her or transferred to problems in breastfeeding). Extra good fats are a MUST...purified CLO during pregnancy & breatfeeding...good fats feed the brain, eyes, skin of the newborn. DrK below also recommends Chlorella & Xylitol gum....COOL info, check it out below!

From this group, there is a thread with GREAT info starting w/message #76354 which I posted in answer to a breastfeeding thread on Oct 19, 2009, from there see #76355 w/a link Jane did in a reply post, & a follow up in message #76425 which includes a MUST read link....which is so good I'm coping it below for you as there is truths ALL of us can learn from throughout Dr Klinghardt's advice:

http://www.klinghardtacademy.com/Articles/Advice-for-Parents-to-be-Pregnant-Women-etc.html

" Advice for parents-to-be, pregnant women and their partners - and

those who take care of them

Dietrich Klinghardt, MD, PhD Medina, WA 4/4/04

In a few weeks time I will be a father for the first time. I am well over fifty and feel quite ready for the upcoming changes in my life - and the responsibilities that come along with parenthood. Upon reflection, I realize that there are advantages to being a `late' father. I have learnt many lessons during my 30 years of medical practice. Lessons to do with conceiving a child, guiding a mother safely through pregnancy, the birth process itself and the many obstacles and problems that face a newborn.

In this article I want to summarize my most important learnings, so that they may be helpful to people who intend to have a child; those who are already pregnant or those of you with young children.

Conception: in the last 50 years the sperm count and quality has

significantly dropped. Inability to conceive for both maternal and paternal reasons is rapidly rising. I have helped many couples conceive by using my own technique of biofeedback testing as an additional diagnostic tool Â– autonomic response testing.

In Autonomic Response Testing the body is stressed or challenged with different stressors and the response of the autonomic nervous system is observed. In general I use muscle tone testing as biofeedback mechanism. The results are then interpreted accordingly and generally lead non-invasively to an exact diagnosis.

Here is a brief list of common reasons of infertility that we found with Autonomic Response Testing (and treatment of which lead to successful conception):

* Abdominal scar tissue (treated with neural therapy). Appendectomy and hernia scars are worst Â– they often block the motility of the female tube, decrease blood flow in the uterus and decrease sperm production and quality in the male.

* Chlamydia Trachomatis: commonly under-diagnosed, and one of the most

common reasons for not conceiving in the presence of normal hormonal

tests. Often the tubes are open, but their motility is impaired. Common lab diagnosis is often false negative. After my diagnosis with Autonomic Response Testing, both partners are commonly put on Doxycycline, starting the week before planned conception and for 2 weeks beyond. It is hard to eradicate Chlamydia as it can only be temporarily suppressed with antibiotic treatment. Enderlein therapy succeeds but takes longer (Pleo Fort, Pleo Nig and Utilin are the most important).s

* Sperm allergy: The male partner collects his sperm in a jar and we work to establish whether or not there is an allergy using Autonomic Response Testing. Desensitization is successfully performed with Mental Field Therapy. Others have reported success with anti-allergic cough syrup or NAET. Longterm treatment with Pleo Sancom leads to a decrease in allergic oversensitivity, which also relates to mold and other allergies

* Low sperm count: we could show that special preparations of chlorella pyreneidosa (I use only " Ka-Tox Chlorella " which is grown, cracked and prepared in a different way then other products) and have dramatically and successfully increased the sperm count in affected men.

* Toxicity: this is in my experience definitely the most common cause of infertility in both sexes. A good detoxification program using NDF,

Chlorella, Phospholipids with EDTA, sauna therapy, lymphatic drainage and Tim Ray's biological terrain management are a must. Our omprehensive protocol on toxicity and detoxification will be covered at our Seattle seminar on July 30th - August 1st 2004. Removal of amalgam fillings and root filled teeth may be required to conceive, especially for the mother. It is much easier and safer to detoxify a mother before she becomes pregnant.

Other factors involve food allergies, unresolved emotional trauma, poor dental occlusion and geopathic or biophysical stress.

Intrauterine problems:

Toxicity: during pregnancy and breastfeeding large quantities of toxins, up to one third of the mothers total body burden, are passed on to the fetus.

Dental practices should warn mothers not to have mercury containing silver amalgam fillings placed during pregnancy. We know that a filling outgases 50% of its high mercury content over the first seven years of its existence.

But, what about the mothers that have fillings?

Fillings should, ideally, come out before conception. If the mother is already pregnant, the fillings can be safely removed, provided they are removed by the few dentists that know how to do it correctly (trained by IAOMT). The mother's body uses the unborn baby as a garbage can. Nature always favors the survival of the elders over the young ones. It is absolutely important and correct to attempt to detoxify a mother during pregnancy rather then accepting the risk of not detoxifying her. I use chlorella, NDF, electric foot baths and other safe treatment protocols to pull toxins from the mother's blood without interfering with nutrient transport or uptake.

Nutrition: we know that the baby of a mother that has low folic acid levels before pregnancy has a higher risk of being born with spina bifida or hare's lip. Adding folic acid to the diet after becoming pregnant may be too late. I have all my female patients on 1-2mg of folic acid, since it also prevents cervical dysplasia to a high degree.

We know that it is no longer safe eat fish, especially tuna and other fish higher up on the food chain where contaminants are concentrated more then a million times. Some fish oil producers (i.e. Nordic Naturals and Carlson's) use a proprietary process which removes mercury and other metals.

However, they do not necessarily remove PCBs and other chemicals. Good

fish oil is absolutely necessary for the child's brain development. Studies indicate that; if enough fish oil is consumed in the last trimester, the child is more intelligent and has less chance of developing neurological disorders.

The mother benefits too, by having less of a chance of developing eclampsia or preclampsia, less post partum depression and less complications during childbirth.

In addition, a number of papers have shown a great reduction in pregnancy related complications simply by taking a daily multivitamin. Both Italian and German studies suggest strongly, that L-Carnitine (2 cap 3 times/day) make a huge difference in outcome. Complications during pregnancy as well as labor are greatly reduced. The child is often larger, healthier and more intelligent later in life. A Finnish study on 169 children from the University

of Turku demonstrated how tooth decay in young children can be prevented:

if the mother chews streptococcus mutans killing xylitol chewing gum 3

times per day during the pregnancy and for one year afterwards, the child has virtually no tooth decay until age 5 (as compared to a group that had regular fluoride or chlorhexedine treatments).

WHO estimates that the world IQ has declined 10-15 % in the last 15 years due to malnutrition. The study did not exclude tests taken in the US population. Lack of vitamin A, Lithium, Iodine and Fish-oil are most strongly linked to the decline.

Toxic building syndrome: many US homes are toxic. Most common is

electro-smog from cell phone towers (Microwave), poor electric wiring in the home or nearby power lines. Cordless phones have emerged as a major stressor in recent years. I often send one of my associates with appropriate measuring tools to the homes of my patients who are either chronically ill, have trouble conceiving and where a pregnant couple lives. Most patients sleep in electrically stressed environments. It is often the cause of childhood asthma, eczema, hyperactivity and other behavioral problems and the cause

of more severe illnesses in grown-ups.

For example; I recently examined a mother with brain cancer and found out that she was sleeping in an electromagnetically contaminated environment.

She moved her bed and within 6 months and the cancer disappeared with no following relapse. No other treatment was used. Four years later I received the message that her 6 year old son had died of an identical brain cancer.

What we later found out was that the mother had put her two year old in the same sleeping location that she had just moved from. Four years later this child died. She thought electromagnetic stress would not hurt her child.

This issue is virtually absent at both conventional and alternative medical seminars in this country. Often we advise to turn off the fuses for the bedroom with excellent improvement s in health related parameters. My patients are not allowed to have cordless phones in the home. They broadcast a highly disturbing biological signal to anything `alive' within a large radius for 24 hours. This article does not allow space to discuss geopathic stress, which is an independent potentially catastrophic phenomenon

is,

I never knew that about oatmeal! I LOVE the stuff! (Maybe that's why I had milk coming out ths whazoo)

I'm giving her some probiotics tonight. She is 17 weeks in and still can't tolerate a daily multi (she's doing one every other day). If we make our B's through gut bacteria, I'm hoping this will ensure she's making enough.

I'm so excited for her. They really are going to be awesome parents. That baby's home will be filled with so much love - that's for sure.

Tammy,if she is eating healthy then don't worry too much about multivitamins. I

was very good with them when I was expecting my son but hardly took any with my

daughter. I deeply regret not taking probiotics as I had to deal with

constipation and I am sure it affected my immune system and then my children got

affected. Although my girl is NT, I see signs of adrenal issues which I hope

will not become serious. I am so grateful to that she mentioned probiotics

in her post as it finally motivated me to do something for myself and I started

probiotics for myself today. I also got motivation when I saw the response my

son had to custom probiotics. I guess you need to see something positive to

become a believer.

I am so happy for your family and the baby will be blessed.
