Cruz,
Yes, I'm a stay at home mom. I live in Colusa, CA (about an hour north of
Sacramento) with my husband and 2 year old daughter and 5 month old son. I am 27. I
am so glad you are going to see your friend tomorrow. I think you will really be able
to help her. Good luck and let me know how it goes! My son just woke up from his nap,
got to go for now! Love Kelli

You know i was thinking of taking ericka with ne also and show her how i do it. I
think though for tomarrow just to go and talk and share with her then friday take
ericka after work. She really just stated it is very uncomfortable for her she dosn't
like it and she thought it would be alot easier but she diffenitly can not sit and
feed her she falls asllep and she has to wake her to keep feeding. So i think after
our conversation and lunch tomarrow i can help cause she dose trust me and believe she
will feel more comfortable when i let her know it was very uncomfortable for me in the
begining also. But now i can not wait to get home sand have thaat time together.... i
have alot of hope and alot of patients.
So are you a stay at home Mom? I am a drug counselor and oh my god some days is
nothing but gratitude for my brestfeeding time to relax when i get home. Thanks for
all your support.

Hi Cruz! I was just getting ready to write to you! How are you? I am doing okay
today. That is great that you found your friend and that she is not too depressed,
just overwhelmed. I think the best think you can offer her is your experience. You
can tell her how hard it was to begin breastfeeding, but how wonderful it is now. You
can tell her all the facts about breasfeeding. Like how the milk she makes from her
body is specifically designed for her baby. It is free. It helps to reduce the chance
of breast cancer in her. It is a wonderful bonding experience. Many many many more
pros, too many to list. Encourage her to set small goals...like you did with yourself.
Have her promise to nurse for 3 months, then untill six months, ect. She will be
passed all the small obstacles by then and will be enjoying it (hopefully). If it is
a "boobie" thing ( i had a friend who felt like it was too sexual), then remind her
that nursing was done during biblical times and it !
is was God intended. Maybe you could bring your daughter over and show her ways that
you hold her while you nurse. Your friend is lucky to have you. Love Kelli

Cruz,
Yes, I think you need to visit her. She is feeling overwhelmed. Is this
her first baby? You can remember how terrifying that is. She could be just having
"baby blues" (hormone fluctuations) which is highly normal and does go away. She
needs unconditional support right now. I would contact a La Leche League leader in
your area (call 1-847-519-7730 and follow the menu to be directd to one) to help with
the breastfeeding one on one. Sometimes, all a new mom really needs is someone to
hold her baby for her so she can shower and feel like woman again. Let me know once
you find her how serious it is. You don't want her newborn to be in danger. Kelli

Thanks i can email you once i get home. They just told me she is very
depressed can't brest feed and feels like she is not a good mother. I haven't spoken
to her yet i can't find out her knew adress and went to her apartment building at
lunch and no one knows who she is so i just have to wait till she calls someone in our
circle of friends which i hope is soon so i can take the time to show and comfort her.
I am really worried i am also going to stop by after work agin to see if i can
rembeber the # of her apartment.

Hi Cruz! Your children sound lovely! I think you are making your
breastfeeding work wonderfully with your schedule. That is the trick of it, after
all! She is getting the best for her---mind and body! Do you live in CA? Kelli

Good Morning ,
I have and 11 year old Shawn a 10 year old Valerie and little Ericka
is 9 1/2 months old. She loves to eat solid food and as soon as she is fininshed with
dinner it seems like she just needs to breast feed immediately. I mean she eats off of
me at 5 and then again at 7 then to go to bed at 10. She wakes sometimes about 1am but
i am now trying to just pat her back to sleep then feed her at 5am.. She used to sleep
straight through the nite but recently she has begun waking up especially on the days
i have to go to work early she wants to play at 2 in the morning it is hard.

I have 2 children, Becca is 2 and Clay is 5 months. Both were/are
stickly breastfed. Throw out your bottles, you don't need them! As long as she is
growing properly, let her have her water from a cup during the day along with her
solid foods ( pump once or twice during the day to keep up your milk supply) and nurse
her during the night. You sound like a loving mommy! What are your childrens names?
Isn't breastfeeding the BEST? Love Kelli

The only thing i am determined about at this time is her not
being on a bottle.. I really enjoy our quiality time feeding her when i get home and
she is a valid excuse for not wanting to get out of bed in the morning after feeding
she just looks so comfortable i don't want to move her.I do use the cup that is made
by nuk with a soft nipple but she just pulls on it and the others she uses as long as
you hold it for her. I haven't seen one by gerber yet . I really don't mind if she
waits till three to begin weening because that will just give us mor shared time. How
many children do You have/

Cruz-she will wean herself when she is ready, she could do
that at any time, or wait until she is 3, it varies from child to child. If you are
anxious to wean her, I encourage you to wait until she turns 1, rather then having to
start with formula. There is nothing wrong with a bottle filled with breastmilk and
pumping and sending her with that to daycare/babysitter is fantastic. Good for you!
Don't worry about her getting stuck on the bottle at this point, she is old enough now
to understand when you are there it's breast, when you are not there it's your milk in
a bottle. If you are completley against the bottle still, they do make sippy cups
with a rubber tip (Gerber) in wich you could pour your pumped breastmilk into. She
will not prefer those to you. If you are serious about weaning her now, it should be
done at a very slow pace, let me know and I will help. Love Kelli

Hi Cruz! If you absolutly can, let her breastfeed until
she weens herself. If that seems too much, then atleast wait two more months until
she is one and can have regular cows milk. You are so awesome to try breastfeeding
with your third child! Good for you!! Kelli

That's wonderful! My DD was only BF'd until 3 months
and after I quit she seemed to get sick non stop. I don't know if it is coincidence
or not. The daycare Brenden just started going to has hand food mouth going around
and so far *knock on wood* he has not gotten it. I'm hoping the fact that he is still
BFing will help! Another perk of BFing!! :-)

With thought Briana was going to wean herself at about
11 - 12 months, but then at 12 months she got started again, and nurses almost as much
as her sister. Whenever she is sick or teething, she nurses nonstop. Daddy is proud
how fast they get over being sick, we all got the flu, Briana first, but she got over,
all 3 boys, and Anabelle never got sick, I was sick too, and dh thinks my antibodies
were in Anabelle that is why she never got it, and sister barely had it. All my kids
were over it in 24-48 hours, where lots of people had it for 4 days. And 2 of my boys
had not been sick in several years before last week. ml
