Lactation and Breastfeeding

Oral glutathione will not raise your glutathione values. However, you may safely take it if you are breastfeeding.

If you would like to raise your glutathione levels, and you are breastfeeding, you can safely take the building blocks or precursors for raising glutathione. The breast milk you are giving your baby is very high in bonded cysteine, and so it would be safe to take bonded cysteine if you are breastfeeding.

yes, they can and it might leak some times

its a good rule of thumb to add atleast 500 cal. to your daily diet and its good to use that extra 500 cal in the best way you can. a good example is to add them in the form of fruits and veggies. carrots, broccoli, spinich,tomatoes bananas, pears and those are just a few of the good ones and its good to have a couple oz. of peanut butter and an oz. or two of tuna is also a great way to use up those extra cal. i hope this helps and good luck.

Girls do not get breast milk until they are pregnant. Breast milk is not needed unless they need to feed their baby. Breast milk will usually come around week 17.

That is hardly accurate at all. Firstly, men and women can lactate, even babies male or female can produce leakage it's all about a hormonal imbalance. And true "breast milk" does NOT come "around week 17" usually 7 months into a pregnancy colostrum is produced, no two pregnancies are the same however. Most women start producing real breast milk about 3 days after delivery. Again it's different for everyone.

Lactation by women who are not pregnant or have not given birth is not unheard of. It could be due to frequent stimulation, or to a hormonal imbalance. It would be a good idea to talk it over with a gynecologist.

It will start back up within a few months. It is possible to ovulate during this time so be careful.

Don't rely on breastfeeding as a source of birth control... I started back up at 6 weeks postpartum, and I'm breastfeeding my son. The average time, I think, is about 6 months postpartum, but then there are people like me who ovulated 4 weeks after giving birth! (Note: I've known people who didn't start up for a year of two after giving birth.)

The hormone prolactin stimulates breast milk production. Prolactin is released from the anterior pituitary gland and the production of prolactin is stimulated by dopamine, oxytocin and thyroid releasing hormone.

sadly im not sure, but when i was twelve i had lumps in my breasts and my doctor asked if they leaked to get rid of something. i dont know if its a good sign or bad sign. but atleast you know you are not alone. :)

Breast milk is made by hormones in a pregnant mother to be body. There are milk glads in a woman's breast that first produce a liquid called colostrum . Colostrum turns to milk after a day or two following the delivery of the baby. (it can take up to 4 days depending on how well your baby nurses)

I hope this helps

I don't think you could "make" a woman lactate. It is certainly very possible for a woman to induce lactation without being pregnant. This process takes a bit of work and effort by the woman. An important element in inducing lactation is for the woman to have a strong desire for her milk to come in. The tone of the question suggests the possibility of one person forcing a woman to lactate using medications without the woman's consent. This would not only be wrong it would be doomed to failure.

Any ellicit drugs can stay in your system normally for 3 weeks or a month.

You can pump it and donate it to a breast milk bank. Some men and moms also buy breast milk online. Please e-mail me. I hate to see breast milk go to waste. My e-mail is kchae2008@yahoo.com.

Foods such as Junk food like chocolate or candy should be avoided. Any food in the cabbage family can cause your baby to have gas while breast feeding. This includes brocolli and cauliflower. Anything with caffiene as well are not good as it can cause colic or upset stomach for your baby. A general guide for eating while breast feeding is to remind yourself not to eat something that you wouldn't want your new born to eat themselves. You would never let your baby eat a big greasy hamburger, so a breast feeding mother should not eat that either.

I just spoke with my doctor and they said it is fine to take DayQuil while pregnant and breastfeeding. Pretty much if you could take it while pregnant, you can take while breastfeeding is what she said..

There is simply no way to predict how soon. Every woman is different. If you are breastfeeding without supplementing, that usually suppresses the menstrual cycle altogether. It usually comes back when the baby starts eating solid foods or goes longer between feedings. Usually. Not always.

Are you certain that the extract is milk? Did you previously have a baby or miscarriage? Are you on birth control? Are your breasts swollen, or enlarged? Do you feel painful lumps or either or? STDs? Bring up specific and brief details to a medical professional and they will assist you.

That would depend upon how the question is meant.

If it refers to how much milk her mammary glands can produce, then that depends on a variety of factors. Typically, assuming the woman is properly fed and healthy, she will produce enough milk to meet the demand.

It is then the baby that is determing it, or the fact that she may be suckling more than one baby.

On the other hand, the question may refer to how much a milk a woman can produce on a dairy farm, and the answer is that she can produce as much as a man can, with the variables being how many cows and/or goats are producing milk, and what technology is available for the milking of them.

As with all medical questions, a concerned woman should consult with her physician so as to receive a more specifically tailored answer from a qualified professional.

Health Canada and Canadian Pediatric Society recommend babies receive only breastmilk up to six months of age and then continue to receive breastmilk with the addition of solid foods up to 2 years of age and beyond.
Most medical authorities promote the recommendation that a mother exclusively breast feed her child for the first six months. After that nursing with other foods should continue at least until the child is one year old. At what point a child should be weaned is solely up to the mother. Worldwide, the average age of weaning is about 3 to 4 years old. In general, the longer a mother nurses her child the better both for the child and her own health. As the old Vulcan saying goes; "Nurse long and prosper".

The colour can vary. At birth, the baby will pass meconium which is very dark in colour, but as the mother's milk comes in the stool will get lighter and eventually be yellow. If it is green there may be a foremilk/hindmilk imbalance, or the baby may have a virus.

There are two diffrent processes for decaffinating coffee. One uses water the other chemicals. Be sure to purchase water processed decaff or else you are increasing your exposure to some chamicals. Recent research shows that 2 cups of regular coffee a day can double your risk of miscarriage and your risk still goes up by 42% if you consume less then 200 mg of caffiene a day. So reducing as low as possible is a good idea. A cup of decaff can still have 5mg of caffine, so you need decide where your accepance of risk is.

I breast fed all three of my children. I was more thirsty and drank more water. They say that's helpful. If you are having trouble producing I have heard that a beer a day, or a glass of wine helps. I didn't do this personally, but heard it helps. They say you make what they need. If they eat more you will produce more. (You will notice your breasts hurt and swell during this time) when they start with more solids you will begin to produce less, again the breast swell some because they are being cut back on. They pretty much self maintain. Good luck.
