Check out milkshare like a PP suggested. I completely understanding your want to keep your baby exclusively breastfed! I hope you find the milk you need.

I voted no, I couldn't bring myself to do it, though I can't stand milk and couldn't bring myself to drink a glass of cows milk or even soy milk. Ewww! I guess if I were starving to death or somehting, though then I probably wouldn't have the milk to begin with. I would think since it's your own antibodies, drinking it wouldn't help much, though it's worth a try. I'd think dripping a little up your nose...

Breastmilk is an amazing food - even if the mother is malnourished, breastmilk is rarely affected. In order for breastmilk to suffer, mother has to be severely malnourished (for example living with famine for an extended period of time.) It sounds like...

I wear a Target nursing tank every day under my regular clothes. I have to nurse my ds 2 times at daycare and then I pump in my office 4 times, so I like to have the flabby pp belly covered at all times. I also couldn't really afford to go out and buy a whole new wardrobe of nursing clothes, so I bought nice blouses and sweaters for work that I can put a nursing tank under and I think I look pretty decent every day.

OK, your little one needs to put on weight and you need to keep her awake, here are some things that come to mind, I would highly recommend breast compression to you, see www.drjacknewman.com , click on videos and then look for the breast compression, a baby with a slow weight gain needs to nurse more often I'd try every 1-1.5 hours for the moment so that you can boost her energy, sleeping takes alot less energy than nursing hence the...

I love my Target nursing tanks..super comfy and easy to nurse anywhere in. Plus, they are pretty cheap too and hold up well. I'm a D-DD cup and the "full-sling" style are a little more supportive than the "side-sling" ones. I have 6 tanks in 4 different colors...I layer then under sweaters, T-shirts, etc. Sometimes I just wear the tank alone if I'm wearing DD in her Baby K'tan when it's...

I'm curious too for exactly the same reasons.

Mine has had spit up come out his nose before. It really freaked me out at first, but I realized that the nose and mouth are all connected. He could just breathe at the wrong moment and have the milk go up his nose.

I always thought it had more to do with having been pregnant than breastfeeding. And yes, blame it on the baby--this also works for any kind of stain you find on your clothing as well.
