Lactation and Breastfeeding

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.

Probably not. I mean the procedure is safe but they give you some pretty heavy pain killers after that may harm your little bundle of joy! Id wait till you can wean the little one or stock up on breast milk before hand.

It should be glaringly obvious that taking it at any time is unsafe.

In addition, taking illegal drugs while breast feeding constitutes child abuse, and you could very easily lose your child to child protective services if you continue.

Since breast milk is produced on a supply and demand process, the more milk your husband takes out, the more milk the breasts will produce.

With your husband suckling, your milk supply will increase. What will also increase is the love and bonding between husband and wife. After the baby is born, it is common for the husband to feel a loss of connection with his wife as her attention is on the new child and normal sexual intimacy is lost due to the wife being tired from caring for the baby and the restrictions due to the birth process. A good way for the couple's intimacy to be restored is for the husband to suckle. This gives him the physical contact with his wife he needs without placing an undue burden on her. This closeness and intimacy can be continued after the child is weaned and become a powerful part of the couple's love life and bonding.

Yes. The most widely used term for this is Adult Nursing Relationship (ANR).

My wife and I practice this, along with a whole lot more people than you might think.

It wont do him any harm.

Breast milk is milk that come from the breast. Breast milk is a general term we use to tell the difference between processed formula and milk produced by a human. It is an odd word since all milk is produced by mammary glands, whether human, bovine or dolphin.

Answer Must be that you've never had a nipple in your hand or you wouldn't be asking. When you are old enough to handle a real live nipple you won't need to ask. I like to have mine slowly licked and slowly sucked on, and they get hard faster that way. But it has to be slow.

You can use any type of barrier method. That would include condoms or diaphragms. Do not use any drug based methods. The birth control method that would potentially be the most damaging to your child would be the pill or Nor Plant type that work by affecting your hormones.

You should have waited till after you had your baby. You Breasts don't fully mature until after you are pregnant and then again after you had more kids. Then you should have decided whether or not you wanted a size change.

According to the FDA, you may not be able to breast feed after breast implantation. Some women who undergo breast augmentation can successfully breast feed and some cannot. Women who undergo a mastectomy will be unable to breast feed on the affected side due to loss of breast tissue and glands that produce milk. A study found that women with either silicone gel-filled or saline-filled breast implants showed lactation insufficiency (not enough milk) ranging from 28-64%. The periareolar approach (incision cite is around the nipple) was the factor most associated with lactation insufficiency. Speaking from personal experience, but I'm sure it depends on the individual, YES you can breast feed with breast implants. Mine are UNDER my muscle, I don't know if that makes a difference. You can breastfeed if you get the implant placed under the muscle. That's what I found through research.. I have saline implants "over" the muscle, and I am breastfeeding my 3 week old infant successfully so far! Good luck!

My sister in law breast fed with implants for three months just fine.

It could be lactose intolerance. But for me I feel bad after eating a bowl of ceral then drinking the milk. I have to do this fairly quickly those times. So that is my problem. If you feel sick when you drink milk you should consult a doctor.

Yes. Always talk to your doctor.

Also, there is new research out there which says that for some women, the hormones of pregnancy actually react to codeine in such a way that too much morphine is metabolized and it becomes much more powerful than it normally would be - which can effect both mother and child. So, you may be safer asking for something synthetic - like tramadol, oxycodone, or hydrocodone, rather than anything with codeine.

My Mom did it the inhumane way which was biting them back ( not too hard though, just enough to give them the idea). But she swears it worked on us.

My Aunt just kept telling my cousin No and to not bite, and after awhile he stopped biting people.

Other people just put the baby down and tell them no biting, and any baby would hate being put down so that works too.

Other than that I would ask a doctor, they might give you some insight on the issue.

Spice is nothing but hazardous chemicals sprayed onto dead back yard plants. All smoke contains dangerous chemicals, so you should not be smoking anything at all while you're pregnant. If you're that desperate, purchase a vaporizer. That way you can enjoy your weed without lighting it on fire and smoking it.

because i no what it feels like to think you are pregnat, i would go to your loacal clinic and ask them for a free pregnancy test and if it comes out positive then tell some one you can trust and get some advice from you school nurse or something and then decide. or you could try and tell your mum and see what she says if you think she would go mad then try and break the news to her very slowly! she should understand. it worked for me anyway =)

Chymotrypsin is an enzyme specialized in braking down milk proteins. It catalyzes the hydrolysis of proteins, degrading them into smaller molecules called peptides. Peptides are further split into free amino acids. By MRAJW Ur Welcome x

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, etc.) is compatible with breastfeeding. It passes into the mother's milk in very small amounts. It is not advised to use ibuprofen for an extended period of time.

Yes. Make sure to go to a clean and sterile studio that follows universal precautions, including using an autoclave (that is spore tested at least once a week), single-use ink caps, gloves, and needles.
Nope. Tattoo artists will not do it. You have to have your "6 week clearance" after you stop breatfeeding from your doctor. If you get a tattoo while breast feeding, it CAN possibly enter the blood stream and then pass through the breat milk. It is just not worth endangering your child if something MIGHT happen.

No, it is not illegal for a mother to breastfeed her child in a public place in the UK.
A mother is legally entitled to breastfeed wherever she may need to. Whether that be a public park, a shopping street, a restaurant and so on.

In fact, it is illegal to tell the mother to leave the premises for breastfeeding. It is also illegal to discriminate, harass or offend a breastfeeding woman. Asking a woman to leave your premises or cover herself up or calling her names because she is breastfeeding will earn you a criminal record under a law in the UK called Sex Discrimination Act.
The UK also has laws against causing fear to children under Section 4 of the Public Order Act, so you could also be charged for that alongside the Sex Discrimination Act if you unnecessarily lash at the mother.

In short, no it is not illegal. The mother of a child is legally entitled to breastfeed her child wherever she needs no matter how public the location is. Discriminating the mother or telling her to leave the area however is illegal.

Getting a facial piercing while pregnant is possible, although it is risky. Piercing increases the risk of infection and it also limits any medication that you could take for such an infection. It is better to just wait to get a piercing after having and weaning the baby. If someone still plans on getting a piercing it is probably best if they discuss this with their doctor first.

Blood-born infections are very rare in facial piercings, unless it's through the tongue. Most infections are epidurmal. I agree you should check with the doctor, but if you're in a clean place you should be fine.

There is one medication that has shown an 84% success rate - oral metoclopramide (reglan) typical dose is 10 mg three times daily; started when the surrogate host is about 28 weeks pregnant and discontinued 1 week before the expected date of delivery. In addition to drug therapy, you need to use an electric breast pump several times a day. Good Luck!

Nothing is wrong with your 4 month old, judging solely the fact that he eats every 3 to 4 hours at 4 months old. If you want him to sleep trough the night, observe this: - How much is he eating during the day? Why not pump the milk and feed him with a bottle, so you know? Baby that eats enough during the day does not need to be fed during the night. - Do not sleep in the same room as the baby, because your smell is what wakes him up during the night to feed. - During the night, when he becomes fussy, offer him a pacifier and comfort him first, do not feed him right away. Wait a bit, if he goes back to sleep, let him. He will grow just as well, even if he passes 8 hours straight without feeding. But feed him if he starts to cry (the way you know it means "I am hungry.) My older daughter slept 8 hours straight from 3 weeks old. Sometimes, at the age of 3 months, she slept 10 hours straight. She was always on the 95th percentile curve. My son, now 6 months old, also very big for his age, manage that with 3 months old. They both sleep in their own bedroom and had/have 5 meals during the day. Or ask Dad to feed him during the night, as an alternative. Even if he has to work, feeding him once a day (at least) should be his duty and pleasure, because it's important for him and the baby to bond, and you can have at least 6 hours straight of sleep, each day.

Tingling and tightening is part of it ,also leaking may occur too!

have your doctor checked if you just had have miscarriage? breast milk will only produced if you are pregnant and it will automatically come out 2-3 days after the fetus or the baby is removed from your uterus.

Yes, a man can lactate for many different reasons. There are tumours that can form on the pituitary gland which increase secretion of the hormone that induces lactation. There is even simple nipple stimulation which has been known to make males lactate. There are also several types of medication which can cause increase of breast tissue and lactation in men as side effects.

The baby will be hypotensive.
