Guest guest Posted September 22, 2001 Report Share Posted September 22, 2001 Bad night last night knew it was all going far too smoothly !! Nia was feeding well all day and we (naiively) thought this would mean a good nights sleep!! Gethyn and I had a dip in the Water-Birthing Pool with Mari and Nia (Nia slept thru the excitement). Got into bed at 12 all nice, relaxed and tired and wallop here we go ... feed/cry/feed/cry/empty breasts/suck ... agggggggggh ... Just off to the BF list to pose this question but thought I'd ask here too - anyone know how long it takes for what you've eaten to 'come thru' in breast-milk? Just wondering if it was my lunch at that posh cafe that upset her!! Asparagus and goats cheese pizza with rocket followed by a chocolate bombe dessert or the two glasses of 4% sparkly that I drank in the pool later??

Tavya used to say that she wished she had six breasts as that was what Rafi seemed to need per feed. No such thing as " empty " breasts by the way, just keep feeding her and they'll fill right up again. As to your question; it was recently posed on the bfc list and the answer came back " it depends. " Like, it depends on what you eat with it, how quickly the food gets digested etc. Personally I think mother's food upsetting baby in bm is overrated. It's probably just your new daughter being...your new daughter! Ruthie (bfc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 22, 2001 Report Share Posted September 22, 2001 <<<No such thing as " empty " breasts by the way, just keep feeding her and they'll fill right up again.>>>> True but BOY they do get sore when they are feeding on them and you are making as they are feeding.. AUCH (still remember that feeling well lol) Lonnie Phoebe & Eloisa's mama & expecting a Christmas delivery... My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what you start. So far today, I have finished 2 bags of chips and a Chocolate cake. I feel better already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they felt empty and she was sucking and not swallowing aand getting upset? when you say fill right up again - I know the theory but how long does it take? surely not immediately? by the morning they did feel fuller but definately not at the time.

AUCH (still remember that feeling well lol) LOL, now we're back to Lansinoh! Actually I coined the phrase " new use soreness " after having witnessed Tavya and Rafi feeding with a 100% perfect latch from day 1 and *still getting sore, yes even with Lansinoh, but the key difference from " poor latch soreness " was, there was no visible damage trauma to the nipple and things improved daily.

Correct, not at the time but you should *definitely* notice the difference within 24 hrs. Meanwhile if she is upset and frustrated get someone to walk around with her, or take her for a walk/drive outside...I recall doing that with Rafi (up the M1 to Scratchwood Services and back!) at midnight when I returned from a wedding to find a tearful Tavya and a screaming baby. By the time we came back he had calmed down and she had also calmed down, and was ready to feed him in bed and they both fell fast asleep.

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2001 Report Share Posted September 22, 2001 Actually Ruthie with both of my girls I found that when they had growth spurts and we ended up with lots of feeding (where you have that empty feeling and they are still feeding type thing) I would end up with a very sore feeling after. Nothing like the sore feeling if they had latched wrongly (THAT hurts lol) more like sore inside your tissue.. So in my case not new use soreness ;o) (lovely phrase btw ;o) ) I have btw been very lucky with both of the girls as both latched with no problems and I have never had any damage to my nipples etc some of my friends had dreadful trouble... (only " problem " have had both times is engorgement as my body seems to think I have triplets each time lol - but homeopathy can deal with that ;o) ) Lonnie Phoebe & Eloisa's mama & expecting a Christmas delivery...

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2001 Report Share Posted September 22, 2001 Thanks Ruthie > calmed down and she had also calmed down, and was ready to feed him in > bed and they both fell fast asleep. Gethyn is a brilliant support, when I was reduced to tears last night he simply took her away whilst telling me not to worry and to get some sleep. It was only this afternoon that I found out that Mari had been up during the night too so he'd had to juggle both of them so I really shouldn't complain when he's being a 'baby' with his cold !!

Not usually this decadent just lots of welcoming Nia to the World happening at the moment Will be sad but interesting to see if she gets upset again though Jenni Jenni & Gethyn Mami & Dadi to: 17yrs - 6lbs - Hospital Birth Mari 3yrs - 9lb 10oz - Home Birth Nia 13/09/01 - 10lb 8oz - Home Water Birth " If you don't know your options - you don't have any " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
