Hi,
A little while ago someone posted on one of the birth lists about using
misoprostol. I can't find the post, but I think it is important to bring to
light the dangers of this drug which, seemingly, is becoming more popular in
Oz.

Is this really the best thing we could be doing for our precious little babies when they are first born?
This is more than a pro/anti vaccination debate. Anything that interferes with early bonding, breatfeeding etc has to be questioned.

'They'
say it can't, but common sense infers that it is possible. We do encourage
mums to keep on with the b/f, hopefully someone will have the answer.

Can anyone recommend a really good BF video..?? I have only seen Follow Me Mum which I liked very much (altho the bub was not newborn?). Are there any other good ones to chase up? Thanks

Title: Mastitis question
Hi,
Normally you should breastfeed from both breasts with mastitis. The only
exception, and I may stand corrected, is strep infection. The breast is very
red, not your typical mastitis. It is verypainful and you feel quite ill.
I have not seen mastitis at 22 months.
This is interesting Kelly and about time these
wretched charts were consigned to the bin.
I did a lactation course a few years ago and the
facilitator asked us to all bring in our ownbabies health records, some of
which were very old! It was obvious that all of us who had breast fed
The thing that surprises me is that most of my friends have exclusively
breastfed and produced babies with rolls on their rolls and crevices so deep
you can't find the bottom of them... My own daughter was off the chart at 6
months (she was exclusively breastfed until somewhere around 16
My episodes of mastitis got less frequent after the first 3 months but I
probably averaged at least one mastitis every 6 months for the entire time I
was feeding (2.5yrs). Though my later mastitis were generally breast injury
induced rather than infection and easily treated with homeopathics.
Did you get a reply for this? Maybe I
missed it. The website for RCOG in the UK
has the policy for Strep B which is very rational and balanced; The Centre for

lead is very extensive and requires close reading; Just google Strep b etc
I gorgot to say that going to the original
research papers is very enlightening. The devil is in the detail.MM

I like "Mother and Baby the 1st week" (Sue
cox/ABA) I use it a lot even if it's not the first week. The baby is
newborn.

Could it be that you came down with both mastitis and some other infection,

www.kellymom.com is a great site on breastfeeding, if you want to research
further.
