breastfeeding friendly kids books?

my 21month old son got a few “I’m going to be a big brother” type books when we had his baby sister (she’s 8weeks now). But I’ve noticed none of them show breastfeeding. In fact any book or video he’s ever seen always shows baby getting a bottle when it’s time to eat. What’s up with that?
I’m not going to start a whole big tyrade on breastfeeding. But it would be nice for him to see families in books/tv that do things the way we do. Anybody know of books that portray breastfeeding (and maybe even cosleeping or babywearing) in a positive and kid-friendly way?
hmmm, I wasn’t trying to start a fight about how the world was out to get breastfeeders. And of course I don’t need a book to tell my son what’s normal.
But don’t they make african-american dolls? why do they need to? would a child really be so confused playing with a doll that was a different color? would she think she wasn’t normal?
No, but that doesn’t mean it’s not nice to see depictions of the way you live.

Well I can’t personally recommend any of these as I am looking for similar things myself. However, these ones seem to be popular, and I am planning to get one or two myself, probably at least the last two on the list.

It shows the baby breastfeeding etc but it includes the older child cuddled up on the couch etc. So it shows the ‘family’ interacting, not just the new baby.
Comments also suggest that you can’t tell the gender of the older sibbling.

Hope this helps.

Weight GAIN whilst breastfeeding!!!?

I have been breastfeeding my son for almost 10 months and am half a stone heavier now than just after i gave birth! Breastfeeding does make me really hungry (as does my medication-dosulepin-a tricyclic antidepressant). Everyone else seems to lose weight breastfeeding! Anyone else experienced this?

Everyone is different. But breastfeeding can burn anywhere up to 600 calories a day, which can help you lose weight. That being said, if you eat 1000 extra calories a day, you’ll be gaining not losing.

If you are hungry a lot, try munching on fruits, vegetables, and whole grain snacks! You feel and look better :]

Some questions about welfare and basic medical

This is what we have been asked recently!
Maybe a doctor-owned health only a single simple group can be much better?
Many groups may have many doctors who need help before and why these people make many physicians. We are willing to bet that you look at the ages that many doctors will not be exceeded to stop working and small blood vessels are required to work in cases too lazy to respond in particular, many patients begin a medical center a lot. Doctors prefer the background of people before, but I can not go to medical support and management of the hospital staff with a very sick person affected.

What type of business health should see a year 10?
Almost all pediatricians caring for children under 16 by the intermediary. One member of a family doctor train is an efficient alternative if it is an emotion too old for a pediatrician. Similarly, consider professional health workers. Usually have more than counseling and education traditional development and growth is now very important in the life of a child.

One can start a physician with someone who is not a professional health?
Trust. Some doctors may open a path of good practice to have a reception staff, a health worker or personal assistant breastfeeding may be exercised within the scope of practice as defined by State guiidelines, and even a doctor who goes to the people or a professional. No hon problem

What kind of doctor should see my mom for leg pain?
Anthony, start with the family doctor and I also hope that give you as much as a working diagnosis. This is so you better have a sense of if you want any health intervention specialist.

It may occur between a family doctor, medical practice and internal medicine specialist?
Once you escape the medical school to specialize can in many ways. A couple of them are d'Among the interior and medicine also liked the small practice. Not all physicians have a "degree" in the internal process.

Remedios is a specialty based on adults, which focuses on understanding how the global system and participation of all physiological processes built in the chest. Internist community can work either in a medical facility or the establishment of the area and the typical processes of many diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, pain, and so on, and refers to others when necessary.

A family of professional medical practice trained in pediatric medicine per person. They are more well versed in the common and appropriate care of all ages and sexes. Documents on household generally more than the community, but there are many people who work in hospital rooms as well. The children practice the physician has more experience to be a "Jack-of-all-" the fulfillment of basic gynecologist, health, and small surgical needs, making it very appropriate for a physician countryside where you can find some documents on the contrary.

The response is limited, medical process was very well visited his home on pain. An internal family members and train Med doc are fully aware of when they refer to if necessary.

BREAST FEEDING HEALTH TEACHING

How do you know when to change feeding schedule for a newborn from 8x a day to maybe less?

We’re breastfeeding our newborn every 3 hours (8x a day). This is exhausting but necessary I know. But when does the baby or us transition to a less regular schedule? When can the newborn switch to say 4-5hrs? Is it month 1,2,3 or 6? And also around when can a newborn sleep though the night?

Well, if you feed your baby on demand, it simply isn’t an issue. Feed him/her when he/she is hungry. The intervals will stretch out gradually and naturally. You can’t define it by absolute hours and ages – it depends on your baby’s size and appetite.

Some babies sleep through the night from a few weeks old. Others don’t until well over a year. There’s absolutely no way to tell what yours will do – but IMO it’ll take far longer if you carry on with a rigid schedule day and night. Baby has nothing encouraging him to sleep longer at night at the moment. If you don’t wake him up to feed at night, keep it dark, don’t talk. don’t nappy change unless he is stinky, he’s far more likely to stay sleepy and get used to being asleep at night rather than in the daytime.

Newborn Sleeping Patterns: What to Look for

breastfeeding while pregnant!!!?

a women is pregnant in her 3~4 mounths and she’s breastfeeding a baby who have 8 months what is the risk on both babies, or there is no risk! the 8 months baby is eating some different food items but keeps asking for breastfeeding.
the women is affraid she’ll be weak if she’s continued to breastfeeding while pregnant .. so please advice

As long as you are getting enough calories and nutrients to feed them both, you are fine. You should be getting an extra 600-800 over your normal 2000 from nutritious foods. This is generally made up of 2 extra glasses of milk, 1 extra protein food, 2 extra servings of fruit and veggies, and 2 extra servings of whole grain. A vitamin helps to round out any nutrient deficiencies.

Why do breastfeeding moms look down on formula feeding moms?

Really, What is the big deal. I don’t understand how anyone can look down on a mother who is trying to do her best just because she has chosen not to breastfeed. I have formula fed all 4 of mine and all 4 of them are PERFECT. They have no health issues, no immune disorders, no mental disorders, no weight issues.. My oldest 2 are actually both considered “gifted” and have scored extremely high on IQ tests.. SO WHATS THE BIG DEAL?? Do you think you are superior to non-breastfeeding mothers, Do you honestly believe your baby will be smarter and healthier because you have breastfed? Here is another one.. How many of you follow the perfect diet to make sure your child is getting 100% of what your child needs?
Ok, somebody made a point. Not every breastfeeding mother looks down on us formula feeders..I have had a few friends who didn’t..but for those who do.. please answer my questions..

I formula feed. Do I care what anyone else thinks? No. Do I wish that I was able to breastfeed? Yes. My son had a high palate which made it difficult for him to latch onto my nipples properly (which by the way are also flat). I had a lactation consultant come in to help me breastfeed. But, every time the lactation consultant or myself latched my son on he would only hit the end of my nipple. I went almost two weeks with cracked, bloody nipples, and caked boobs. I pumped and cried because I felt like a failure. Breast feeding became a high anxiety time for me and my son so I decided to switch to formula. I went from being angry with my body and the whole situation to depression because I was sad seeing other mothers be able to breastfeed. I was completely envious of other breastfeeding moms but now I have accepted that some things are out of my control and I did everything I could. I’m glad that I had the support from my family and the lactation consultant. I think that’s what every mom needs… breastfeeding or formula feeding is support.

Vaginal birth videos and YouTube.?

I’m not having a baby (because I’m a male), nor am I planning on recording one, and I’m definitely not going to post any online. But I’m curious… Are vaginal birth videos allowed on YouTube? Videos get removed for exposure of the parts, but what about a birth? Such as a woman exposing her breasts in public is illegal, but if she starts breastfeeding a child, it’s within her rights. So what about vaginal birth videos?

If you sign up for a free youtube account one of the things you have to fill out is your date of birth. That’s because there are certain videos on youtube that contain mature content. They are filtered /censored /restricted for the general public. If you sign in and confirm your date of birth then you are able to view them.
Basically its not very hard to gain access, but Youtube.com isn’t responsible if you lie. If you’re under 18 your parents get to deal with you and Youtube won’t get in trouble.
I’m not sure about the guidelines in reguards to porn stuff. There is some on there, but I think they try to remove it. The stuff that is allowed is educational stuff about PAP smears, medical stuff, genital exams, breast exams, teaching vids for doctors, birds & the bees, menstruation, contraceptive use, and yes → births. Especially if you search “home birth” you’ll get allot of good hits.
I know that Ricky Lake helped put together a documentary about Home Birth and there was another one done some where in Australia. I’m sure they’re not the only ones.

Breastfed baby with a dark green liquid shit?

I am strictly breastfeeding my 4 weeks old. She started crying too bad this morning and gave me a coat of yellow / seedy with a bit of dark green on the inside. His second eruption was all dark green and watery. Clinics medical are closed. Is this something to worry about? I have not changed my diet, either.

How To Know If Your Baby’s Poop Is Healthy

a question about extended breastfeeding../ formula past a year?

why does the WHO and other organizations recommend breastfeeding for past a year, but everyone says not to give formula past a year because they don’t need it.
if they don’t need formula past a year, than why do they need breast milk?
or is there a different kind of formula that they give babies that are past 12 months??

If you are keen to put your baby on formula, I believe after 12 months they can move up to `toddler milk’. Lots of brands does it, the one we use is the S26 vanilla flavoured toddler milk. I believe the nature of toddler milk is the extra iron added plus other nutrients.

I personally breastfed past a year (to 18 months). But since my milk supply has always been low, I substituted my daughter with toddler milk (and she loves it). My routine is breastfeeds whenever she wants, cow’s milk for breakfast in the morning, and a little bit of toddler milk before she goes to bed. Obviously I was breastfeeding throughout so the milk substitute varies in amount depending on what she already had from me.

I know it is confusing with what everybody says, it all depends on who who you talk to and which organisation they are with. I am sure somebody will say what I do is wrong, but it is what we do and my daughter thrives from it. You just go with whatever you wish to do and it will be the best for your child. Good luck!

And don’t forget after 12 months they are most definitely onto their solids, so the nutrients will mainly come from food rather than the milk.

Breastfeeding or Formula

Toddlers and milk?

I weaned my toddler at 13 months from breastfeeding and since then she has not been drinking milk at all, although she does eatcheese yoghurt nad milk with her ceral or porridge everyday.
I try offering her milk in a cup but she just doesnt drink it. She is now almost 2.
Should I be givingher milk to drink, and if so how do I get her to drink it?

If you’re really concerned about it, give her chocolate milk…make it really chocolatey at first and slowly decrease the amount of chocolate you put into it until it’s white. It does sound like she’s getting enough. If you’re worried about vitamins, give her a vitamin supplement–Flintstones regulars or gummies.

Please help me find a variety of snacks without sugar or sweetener and milk?

Hello thrush due to infection (breast feeding) to cut sugar from my diet to heal. This includes natural sugars such as fruits and other sweet things (artificial sweetener) that yeast does not feed. Also aimed at actually reducing dairy products, as well as active yogurt. I manage my decent food, but want to try a lot (they need more calories due to BF, and probably bad eating habits). I am really hurt to find snacks that allows me to eat. I would appreciate if people can offer some suggestions for me to find different things. I realize that I could not prove it, but I'm afraid I'll end up binging and eating unhealthy foods. Thanks for all the thoughts. Hi forgot to make the important point that I had nothing with yeast – so any bread product unless it is made without yeast. So unforunately no English muffins but the cookies is a good idea (probably complete, and simple carbohydrates are not at all). Thanks x

English Muffins! thats wut my mother ate when she was pregnant with my sister and I (twins) cookies almost anything with salt in this place (salt is good, it was the iodine that prevents cancer)

Lida Daidaihua Diet pill: Do’s Dont’s and How to’s

I am still breastfeeding my DS (10 months old). I haven’t had anything like a period yet, but my husband and

I had unprotected sex 2 weeks ago. All of a sudden today, I started to spot (first time since my son was born). Could it be implantation bleeding or coincidentely my period coming back? I’ve been queasy recently (like, last 5 days or so) too. I took a preg. test 5 days ago and it was neg. Since I have no previous period to base this on, should I write this off as pregnant, or period? If pregnant, when do you think i should test again?
Timeline-
Unprotected sex-April 6
First test (neg)- April 16
Spotting (period?)- April 21

i would say take another test next week and then the following week. i was actually pregnant with my 4th child, but got a negative the first test i took which was about the same timeline as yours. i got the positive test result 2 weeks later. However in your case you have no prior menstruation cycle to count in so it is very possible your are just getting a first time post-partum period. Do the test a few more times, unless you get a full period before then. Your ob/gyn should be of some help as well.

Mommy’s Minute – Preparing For Twins

Is it harder on you breastfeeding a newborn or an older baby?

My daughter is 10 months old and I am still breastfeeding and plan on doing it a while longer. I know that you use up extra calories when breastfeeding. I just wondered if it was harder on you to nurse a new baby that eats all the time but just a little or an older baby that doesn’t eat as often but eats more at a feeding. Or is it about the same. My mom seems to think I should be eating more now.

Well, I personally think it was harder on my body when he was younger. But my baby would eat every 1.5 to 2 hours for 45 minutes at a time! It wore me out.

Now, at 9 months, it’s a breeze.

I doubt you need to eat more, unless you are feeling fatigued.

How to breast feed and diaper a newborn baby infant.

Breastfeeding question, problem! Please HELP?

Please someone can give me on the track. One of my nipples are so painful, it's like a tear in the side of my nipple and a tingly, Why and How I can fix this?. Sometimes also breastfeeding, but complements organic formula. Well, I have not been consistent pumping or breastfeeding and my milk supply has decreased. The first 2 weeks I was pumping and three ounces and 1/2- at 4 and I tried pumping, but today I had less than an ounce I'm so upset, but I know it's my fault. How Change of direction? I want to breastfeed and pump, but one of my nipples is broken and I do not know what to do or how to cure? I'm so confused! This is my first time breastfeeding and you will succeed. PLEASE HELP! Tell me what to do and where to start again, if you please! Thanks!

Ok first. Calm down. No, not the generic kind, calm down. Stress can decrease the milk! What I did for sore nipples is this: Before giving the nurse one or two drops of milk and rub the nipple. After you are done, taking a small piece of gauze soaked in saline and placed it in her bra (I used a towel to the nursing and not wet your bra and shirt) in the nipples during 15 minutes. Then apply Lansinoh cream. In addition, walking without support and a shirt as much as possible! The air really helps! This is undoubtedly the more important! Make sure the latch is correct or not will be better! You may think it is fair and it is not. Go to youtube.com and search for proper techniques of blocking I also suggest calling a consultant near you Infants. Most hospitals have at least one. Now for the question of supply. First stop all filling immediately! No, I'm not a Nazi breastfeeding, BF my children for about 3-4 months and then went on the form. Just know that everything that gives them the formula, your body will not hurt if your diet. Drink tons of water. I mean, until you feel like you are floating. You can also try fenugreek. Most stores healthy food for sale. (Tea with milk from mothers or blessed thistle I've also heard good) Take 3 tabs fenugreek 3 times / day until the syrup urine maple. So you know it is in your system and should begin work soon. Keep putting the baby in the womb! The baby is used as a pacifier and suck a nipple cracks. Supply and demand! As your baby has more to offer! In addition, pumping is not a good measure of how much they produce. My son is born and raised 6lbs7oz the 10lbs4oz a month and I could get maybe 1 / 2 ounces each in the chest when I tried the pump. Start doing "too much", but your body gets used to how the baby needs much is just enough. (A further reason for not complete) I know it's frustrating, I promise. Want to know exactly how much the baby and want to make sure everything is ok. I do not know! How can you tell if the baby is getting enough gain and pee and poop diapers. If everything is normal, then you're fine. I know you probably have forgotten something, but I tried to remember everything. Good luck honey and do not forget to check with your advisor Infants Local!

Here are the laws of breastfeeding, separated by the State: http://www.ncsl.org/issuesresearch/health/breastfeedinglaws/tabid/14389/default.aspx At present, the pump is covered in 24 states, the growth that you mentioned, would probably be a push to be protected in all states.

Enough milk?

I am breastfeeding my four week old baby, but now I wonder if I have enough milk for her? How do you say? The health visitor and weighed yesterday and put the 3 ounces, which would be about 6.7 ounces in a week! I am a new mom, had no experience, does not like the sound my Barbie is not as weighty as the health professionals want (picture?). My baby just 7 pounds, 4 ounces at the moment, I think it's a bit too light, right? Could someone tell me how to know if they have enough milk for her? I tried to express a little milk at this time, I could not do it in two ounces in 20 minutes, started less milk to a pump, but when I put my hand, there are still lots of milk. I do not understand? "I can give my baby a bottle of milk too? Is it good / Healthy way to feed a newborn? has only one month this Friday! Please help! Thanksss

Hello! 7 pounds is fine for a week 4 years as it continues to weight gain rather than lose weight. My doctor likes to see an average of 4 ounces per week but this is an average – some weeks it is 2 oz a weeks of their 8 oz If your baby seems content that you have plenty of milk, which will let you know if you're hungry. Also note that if you have a good small build, your baby may have one too. For someone who is breastfeeding full time pumping 2 oz is great, it means that you have had two additional ounces of milk in the remains of which she was not eating. You can give a bottle of formula or breast milk, but can affect your bid if you do it too often. If you do not say that she is hungry to milk pumped into the freezer for a day when you might need some time away from home. Your baby will soon come to an outbreak growth of around 6 weeks, you want to nurse all the time and you may feel like you do not have enough milk. In fact, increases suck before his appetite. Va to last one or two days. If you can leave out the tasks for the day and is taken as a diver with lots of hugs and frequent attention. Take a book and a bottle of water and stay bed or couch, with the exception of meals and snacks. She's a nurse and suck more often for more rapid growth when it occurs, will enough milk for her.
