They didn't confirm it with an upper gi or anything. They are just treating it based on his symptoms. He screams when he is on the breast and for 15 minutes after...it started with him pulling off a lot and arching his back, but it has gotten worse so we just put him on Zantac today. I have the Medala pump and it works well, but i feel like i am pumping all day preparing for the next bottle.

Hi there, how are you adjusting to mommyhood? I noticed that you made a comment about blocked milk ducts. I am thinking that I may have one or two in my right breast. It is really painful & doesn't seem to be emptying completely. It's hard underneath & mostly to the other side. My milk just came in on Saturday morning so I know I need a few days to adjust, but I don't remember it being this painful with my first daughter. My left side seems ok. too so that's why I'm wondering about the blocked duct. Any help or advice would help. Thanks. :)

I Hate pumping. I don't do it. I can't get enough milk and it takes to long the only way I get anything at all is if I nurse at the same time. Plus my son won't eat it if its not straight from the breast. He pushes a fresh frozen whatever bottle cup anything away! I had pumped and froze a ton but that didn't really work. Good luck! Its awesome that you are able to pump and feed! Thats what I wanted to do to begin with- but I had tons of pumping problems. lol.

I'm taking 3 pills (10 mg) 3 times a day. I never met with a doctor. I just bought the pills online and researched the typical dose. Did your doctor prescribe you the medicine? I had trouble getting a prescription since it is not FDA approved for milk supply. It says it can take up to a month to see results. Hopefully it won't take that long though :)

newmama! - Thursday, 27 Mar
I'm on that meidication too. How long did it take for you notice an increase in your milk? I just started a week ago...

kmoore - Thursday, 27 Mar
She will be two months on Saturday, she has always been a healthy eater, even when we brought her home she was wanting more than two ounces a time. How much does your little one take?

jenn1022 - Thursday, 27 Mar
I remember you too.! I had forgotten that you had your baby early. My little guy weighed 7lb 4 oz. How much does Jack weigh now??

kmoore - Wednesday, 26 Mar
Thanks, I think that may have been part of it, she wasn't eating enough to fill up...I started pumping and feeding that way, now she eats four ounces every three hours and doesn't act hungry between. It's a pain to pump every three hours though, but I guess if thats what it takes! Take care-

jenn1022 - Wednesday, 26 Mar
Thank you for your comment.I really appreciate the encouragement! We had a breakthrough last night though. He actually nursed for a minute and then today he nursed for a few minutes. So we are coming along, it just takes time I guess. And I almost forgot how much it hurts when they first start! LOL!

xiaodaph - Monday, 24 Mar
wow!! that's good!! hopefully i won't experience any side effects like my friends.. Haha.. Thankz for your info...

sickasadog - Saturday, 22 Mar
i will be breastfeeding.

ugh, sorry to hear you're having a similar problem! but I was thinking the same - my MIL used to smoke and drink highballs when she was oregnant -- totally different generation! i'm trying to keep my cool, but the bf hormones are making me sort of touchy, I think. it's like, come on people, women bf their children for thousands of years; how can what i'm doing be wrong? oh well. luckily, my husband is totally supportive and encouraging of the bf, and that's a huge help and boost for my confidence. thanks for your thoughts and best of luck to you!! :)

Hi, Thanks for the comments on BFing vs. formula. I've had an aweful time and some of the comments on here just pissed me off to no end. :) Anyway, take care, and thanks for saying my baby is cute. He is, isn't he? :)

make sure now then that you get the acidophilous! and talk to the pharmasist about how much you can take safely, b/c you should take at least twice a day if possible! Antibiotics can cause clostridium difficile, which is a nasty side effect of antibiotics and makes you have terrible diarrhea for days. Its because antibiotics also kill our natural bacteria that lives in our intestinal tract and helps us to digest. Acidophilous will replace those bacteria and help to keep your gut healthy. You can get it at any place that sells vitamins. Stay away from sugar if you can while you are recovering! infections thrive on sugar! Drink lots of water too. Taking a hot shower and massaging the infected area will help with the pain.

Debra - Saturday, 15 Mar
IF you got any at all antibiotics or your son is on them I HIGHLY recommend getting some acidophiolous supplements. Its to treat the effects of antibiotics which takes our natural bacteria that is found in our gut out. To help with digestion and prevent thrush and many other illnesses, i recommend taking this while you are breast feeding. It will also help boost your immunity and give your son a helping hand to get stronger. Acidophilous can be found in PROBiotic yogurt, like ACTIVIA, but alot of other brands of yogurt that are low fat don't have this additive. But its easiest to just take a daily (or whatever the bottle/pharmacist recommends) supplement.

Signs of thrush: From a website
It's possible for you to have it in your breast without it appearing in your baby's mouth (this is called being 'asymptomatic') - or your baby can have it in his mouth, and never show up in your breasts. If your baby does show symptoms, it will appear up as white curd-like patches, and may make your baby's mouth so sore that he won't want to nurse.

Symptoms of Thrush include, but are not limited to:

A red 'rash' on the nipple/red nipples and aureola or unusual pinkness/redness of the nipple
A taut, shiny appearance to the skin of the aureola (which is normally slightly creased and dullish, like any other skin)
Increased and eventually hyper-sensitivity of the nipple to any and all touch, and
Excrutiating pain during nursing and
Pain/burning of the nipples between feedings
Stabbing pains deep within the breast (if yeast gets up into the milk ductules), not to be confused with ordinary pain associated with let-down

Debra - Friday, 14 Mar
Sorry, I'm an registered nurse. But a lot of people eat a lot of junk, and then they ask why they feel so sluggish all the time. Watch your sugar intake too- a lot of people don't know this but yeast loves sugar and new moms are prone to yeast infections. THis can also mean thrush for baby and breasts and also diaper rashes.

Debra - Friday, 14 Mar
Pump more frequently- at least every three hours and make sure you are staying well hydrated and eating a balanced diet with lots of fruits and veggies!
