yay for sleep miss green, way to go little linc..
as for the boobies hun i have always been told DO NOT EXPRESS your milk as your trying to get them to dry up ,i was told wear a very tight bra try not to let hot water run on them in the shower and to drink coffee aparently coffee halps dry up milk ? worked for me anyway lol.. but if you keep expressing the milk will keep building up again
any way thats my tips hun ,and again yay for you and linc.
If you express and empty the breast, then it will take ages for your milk to dry up. If you only express enough to be comfortable, then all will be ok. It's recommended that you do it that way to avoid mastitis.
Unfortunately, for me... I never had to express at all to be comfortable, there was nothing there!
Hmmm I rang the medi help line they said don't touch, no hot water and tight bra. But how do I know if I'm getting mastitis? no blocked ducts, I checked, had one of those OUCHY.......
KellyD I rang the Pead to ask and cos he got way worse when I ate milk products he may have a cows milk protein alergy which is still in the lactose free formula but not in Soy. Glad I know now. I trust doctors but I still like to know what's happening and why.
Funny vision of the day ladies. I got out of the shower tried off lent over and felt a drip drip on my arm. I though "were is that comming from I dried off" it was my boobs. bra on stat. DH thinks he's going to massage them tomorrow night I THINK NOT!
I used cabbage to take off the heat and swelling off the boobs.
Hi girls,
Working from home today. Boss so good to let me work from home... but kind of make me want to do more work to make up for his kindness.
Kelly, Tara will surely be crawling very soon.
Murph, wow big move.
Hi everyone else.
AFU we are doing well though I wish Lyla would be a bit more interested in food but no matter as long as she is happy and healthy. I think I've got a climber on our hands. Lyla has started climbing onto things now. She climbed onto our bed the other morning using the pile of pillows I left at the foot of the bed. Got DH to quickly tape it. I was so scared that she would fall but the girl used ever mean to get up onto the bed.
Take care everyone. Must make effort to reply because it appears that when I find the time to reply others have beat me to it.. I do enjoy reading your posts though.
glad you got some rite ansewrs green hunny, i always thought why would you keep exspressing if your trying to dry up milk ?? as this would just keep the milk building up lol..any way after 5 kids this is what i was always told .so im glad you rang someone hun,and yes cabbage leaves are also a really good thing to take away the heat ,they really do work to your boobies will be very sore for a few days hun trust me even under your arms it will feel very sore but they will start to feel better each day
luv to you hun
hun ive just thought of another trick that makes boobies feel better might sound silly but DOES work hun
if you have a couple of face washers seriously put them in the freezer layed out stright till they freeze then put them inside your bra to make boobies feel better thats what they told me to do at hossy
and if i remember you can actually go to the dr to get drying up tablets too
if the pain gets to bad take a couple of panadole too hunny
Green, keep an eye out for lumps if you're not going to express at all, because mastitis is a killer. If you get a hot, red lump and/or flu symptoms, then get yourself to a doctor.
If you're concerned about soy formula, the other option is the neocate-type prescription formulas which are completely broken down to base enzymes (or...er..something like that) and are suitable for babies with allergies (without dodgy hormones in soy)
marcellus I'll talk to my pead about it cos he doesn't seam to think soy is an issue but it's my choice isn't it.
No red lumps and boobs are less hard and hot. But Dolly parton alert.
Last night Linc was so good 7.20pm till midnight. I slept 8.30 till midnight. then 1-4pm then 5-6 then 7-8. What is this feeling ENERGY
But he's blocked up and I don't know what to do. Smithy what worked for Charlie?
I've done the sugar water since 6pm feed yesterday and deap bath and massage, but no shift, loads of pushing and I know it's getting to him.
DH is on his way home. Can't wait for cuddles.
Oh linc is now not enjoying sleep during the day. He wakes up after a cat nap has a play another cat nap etc from 8-4pm feed last two days. But I guess this is the right time for fussy sleep isn't it.
yay for sleep miss green, way to go little linc..
