I was however looking forward to purchasing the soft shields. I will not switch from Meleda , because I have had good results with both. I do however prefer the soft sheild when it comes to comfort. I cannot imagine what could have occured that you do not make this product available anymore. I hope that you come up with a similar product in the very near future.
very easy to use! I recommend it to all moms!
I have trouble breast feeding and also work full time so pumping is a must. Being able to find a breast shield that fits to my size and shape has made a huge difference! This is my third baby that I will be using my pump for and although it has been through a lot it is still awesome! Wouldn't use any other kind!
WHAAAAATTTT????!!! Where are the Soft Shields, please? Why did they go away? I'm somewhere between the 21s and the 24s and the Soft Shields were PERFECT...I wish I'd known they were disappearing because I would've stocked up! Come on, Medela, a lot of us are missing these babies - PLEASE bring them back. These work OK for me but the Soft Shields were by far the best....
I miss the Soft fit shields.
I have to use the XXL flanges. I think that's mostly because the hard flange is so unforgiving and all those sharp angles! Soft flanges get more milk out because they actually massage the nipple and surrounding breast tissue. I would love love love a larger (like 30mm) soft shell flange, or even one without so many angles i.e. more cone shaped.
I liked the soft fit but.
I used the personal fit for a long time until I found the Pumpin' Pal flanges and they are as good or better than the soft fit. They aren't soft, but they feel much better than the regular hard personal fit.
PLEASE Bring back the SoftFit!!! I am dumbfounded that you would discontinue such an important and obviously popular product. The hard plastic ones hardly get an ounce out of me and are very uncomfortable. The discomfort likely plays a part in the lack of milk they extract because a relaxed mom produces more. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bring back the softfit, and consider discontinuing these!
I pumped exclusively to feed twins for a year using your soft fit soft shields. I recently have a new singleton and am FLOORED that you have discontinued this product! I did try the same size hard plastic flange above and am sorry to say it is painful and gets little to no milk out. I can hand express more and more comfortably than I can using these plastic torture devices. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bring back the soft fit version -- they were a godsend!!
With the US breast feeding statistics on the rise, I would have expected a large company to have at least poked around the market to see what is keeping people from purchasing more of their products and using them effectively. Please consider in your next line of development either an adaptation or a specific product for those of us who even with stimulated nipples cannot comfortably utilize your 21mm design.
I'm SO disappointed that you don't offer the soft fit shields anymore! I just dug out my $250+ breast pump because I'm expecting twins in 3 weeks and came here to order replacements and am UPSET I can't get what I want! I haven't pumped in 2+ years and now find out you don't make them anymore?!?!?! Listen to your loyal, repeat customers and bring the soft fit shields back!!!
I ordered a medela pump from my insurance company because I heard with the soft shields you get the best milk output. I can't get squat from the hard shields and I KNOW I'm making milk!!! I can't return my pump because it's been used now, and I'm ticked that they took the soft shields off the market. What am I going to do when I go back to work, allow my baby to starve?
I started pumping again with my second child in March of 2013 and came on the site to purchase new shields only to find that you no longer make the soft shields. I was forced to purchase these and they do not feel as good and don't pump as much out as the soft ones. I would think that you would have continued to make the soft ones since they warp after so many uses...it's a no brainer for the company to continue to produce these, I can't imagine how much money you are losing by not having the women who like them continue to purchase them when needed. I am making my old ones work for as long as I can . They still are more efficient warped than the hard ones. Please bring the soft shields back.
I hate the hard shields. They feel absolutely terrible. I will not invest in your company again until you re-evaluate how well you're ready to take care of your customers.
I have only one set of the soft shields for my Freestyle and came here to get more. I have tried the hard shields and while they worked for pumping they were not comfortable at all. Please bring back soft shields!
I must reiterate the other requests - SoftShields are by far the best shields that you have offered to-date. The hard plastic shields just don't work as well. Yes, the SoftShields had problems with warping after some use/washing, but they still were much better. I am lucky that I bought ten before they were no longer readily available, but others were not so lucky. Please bring back SoftShields!!
When is Medela going to make a shield that is smaller? They make a 16 mm nipple shield... what about a 16 or even 18 mm pump breastshield? This is ridiculous--lots of ladies need them but there is no help for anyone with extra small lady parts. We want to pump and continue to breastfeed our babies too! PLEASE MAKE A SMALLER SHIELD!!
I haven't actually bought or used one of these, BUT, I was going to buy a new shield from the store last week. Well, I investigated the shield before buying it and found that it was HARD. Uck. I knew I wouldn't like that. My old shield is still in good condition, so until Medela brings back that the softer shields, I won't buy one of the new, hard ones! If you bring back the softer ones, you'll have a happy customer (and it looks like several other happy ones too!)
I am VERY disappointed as those provide better suction and are much more comfortable. Please bring back the soft breast shield!!!!!!!
The hard ones aren't nearly as comfortable as the softer shields and they are so much more unforgiving and rub a lot more. I've experimented with sizes but they still do not feel even close to as nice as the softer ones I used with my older child. Felt a lot more natural with the soft ones, now with the hard ones I feel like a dairy cow!
The new shields are very hard and uncomfortable. Not happy there are no more soft shields.

Do you ever take things as a sign? For instance, I'm supposed to be going on a trip to MD in a couple of weeks. I haven't bought the plane ticket yet, but I still have time. Anyway, Lorelai lost my license. I was going to get a State ID, but my birth certificate is missing, too. I've torn this apt apart looking for it. I know it'll surface eventually... we really just have too much stuff in too little of a space.
But this morning I woke up thinking, "Maybe it's a sign." I'm not really religious (or heck, even spiritual) at all, but I feel like I can't ignore it. It's not that I don't want to go, I do! I just feel like the universe is flashing a big red stop sign in front of my face right now.

Water: Permitting (NPDES)
NPDES Home
Water pollution degrades surface waters making them unsafe for drinking, fishing, swimming, and other activities. As authorized by the Clean Water Act, the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program controls water pollution by regulating point sources that discharge pollutants into waters of the United States. Point sources are discrete conveyances such as pipes or man-made ditches. Individual homes that are connected to a municipal system, use a septic system, or do not have a surface discharge do not need an NPDES permit; however, industrial, municipal, and other facilities must obtain permits if their discharges go directly to surface waters. In most cases, the NPDES permit program is administered by authorized states. Since its introduction in 1972, the NPDES permit program is responsible for significant improvements to our Nation's water quality.
The site contains technical and regulatory information about the NPDES permit program. The NPDES Permits Program consists of a number of programs and initiatives. Links to each of these programs and initiatives are located on the left navigational bar.
- For information on specific facilities with NPDES permits, you can visit EPA's Envirofacts Warehouse. Simple searches can be done by clicking on "Water" and entering your zip code. You can also view a map with NPDES facilities by clicking on "Maps" and choosing "EnviroMapper." Finally, advanced search capabilities can be found under "Queries" and selecting "PCS."
- For information on the compliance and enforcement status of facilities with NPDES permits, you can visit EPA's Enforcement and Compliance History Online (ECHO).

Closed-Angle Glaucoma
Closed-angle glaucoma is an eye disorder in which the colored part of the eye (iris) and the lens block the movement of fluid between the chambers of the eye.
The blockage of fluid causes pressure to build up in the eye and causes the iris to press on the drainage system (trabecular meshwork) of the eye. The increased pressure can cause damage to the optic nerve, leading to vision loss and possible blindness.
Closed-angle glaucoma may cause sudden blurred vision with pain and redness, usually in one eye first. It can be an emergency situation (acute closed-angle glaucoma) that needs immediate medical care to prevent permanent damage to the affected eye. Treatment may include medications to lower the pressure in the eye (intraocular pressure, or IOP), monitoring of the drainage angle, and possibly surgery. The opposite eye is also usually examined and eventually treated because the condition is likely to affect the other eye as well.

Welcome to the New Progressive Scrap Challenge
hosted by myself, Vicki of Dana's Footprint Digital Design
& Darlene of Studio4 Designworks
The object is to complete one page over the course of three weeks by following instructions given in tasks posted each week. A progressive scrap is a *slow* speed scrap and I know lots of you like speed scraps, but may not have the time. So here's how it will work.
On the first of each month, Prompt 1 will be posted, consisting of instructions for starting a scrapbook page that will then be built upon through additional instructions every 3 days.
The idea is to work along with the challenge as the tasks are being announced, each task to be completed & posted prior to starting on the next prompt. (Once you post a prompts results, youre finished. Dont change your work for that particular prompt.)
At the end of the third week, you should have a completed page!
Its fine to start late or catch up if you miss a prompt. Just be sure to complete & post each task before you look at or start the next one. Its more fun that way!
I will be giving you a download that consists of either papers or ellies to work with on each prompt. By the end of the Challenge, you will have a great little kit that was created by myself - Vicki of (Dana's Footprint Digital Design) & Darlene (Studio4 Designworks)
So to recap - here's the order:
1. On the first day of the month we will post Prompt 1. Then, there will be a post every three days with a new prompt.
2. Add only the items listed in the prompt given. You may add/alter shadows at any time.
3. Once you've posted your layout for that particular prompt, it is done and you may not go back and change it. You may only build on the previous prompt layout following the new step for the next prompt.
4. We will post the prompts sequentially in the thread. If you have missed a prompt, its fine to start late or catch up. Just be sure to complete & post each task before you look at or start the next one.
5. Post your layouts no later than midnight (EST) of the day before the next step is due - this will be every three days.
6. Post your layouts in the *Progressive Challenge* gallery HERE.
7. Link your layout back to this forum thread so we can have a look at your creations and leave you some love!
8. In lieu of a posting bonus, by the end of the challenge, you will have yourselves a nice little kit.
9. This challenge counts towards the Scrappping 7 Challenge!
10. Make sure you SAVE your layered PSD/Tiff file as we will have a QP exchange at the end of the Challenge.
Here is the kit you will have by the time you are done. It coordinates with the lovely collab the designers have created this month along with Posting Bonuses for other challenges. You will have a lovely HUGE kit when you are done!

Autocompleters – Which one do we use?
We are currently using the YUI autocompleter from YUI 2.4.1 which works well. However, we are making significant architectural changes, and the "new" way used the YUI autocomplenet from 2.6.0. We don't want to install YUI just for the autocompleter and we don't want to deal with the version mismatch, so we are going to use a different autocompleter. It seems that there are many autocompleters, so which one do we use?
NOTE: We ended up going with the jQuery autocompleter. The autocompleter had issues with noConflict mode and with pressing the backspace key. We fixed them and will post the fixed version to Github soon.
- Postgres replication requires a primary key, and HABTM solutions typically do not use primary keys. Has many through is better anyway.
CI build is slow and we don't know why
Our CI build is failing because of the performance issues. Some strange things we noticed:
There are many Sockets in the TIME_WAIT state
A possible solution is to run the OSX diskutils on the CI box.
Piston Hangs when importing a SVN dependency into a Git repo
The Heavy team is coming for lunch to discuss process
git-svn is difficult to work with
- Use all Git or all SVN if you can.
- Using click_and_wait fixes failures due to timeout on the CI box. It is more performant because click_and_wait is implemented in JS. The standard Polonium wait_for assertions poll into SeleniumRC.

I was up in Sonoma today and stopped in a few places. In one, the name of which will remain unstated to protect the guilty, I found a peculiar "finish" on several wines (and I use that term loosely).
I had a Nebbiolo, a Sangiovese, a Primitivo, and a Barbera. Each had a finish which resembled a non-vinous tart fruitiness which was somewhat watery. It was the oddest thing, almost akin to drinking unsweetened, low-acid, very thin, grape Kool-Aid or some other bug juice reminiscent of my youth. The whites and a couple of the other reds didn't share this characteristic.
Anybody else ever run across this?

Surround your wrist with the tranquil gemstones in this dreamy toggle bracelet. Each pear-shaped aquamarine cabochon is framed by a sterling silver openwork and beaded design. The bracelet finished in a toggle bar closure with two O-rings. Jeans and your favorite t-shirt never looked so ladylike. Measures 7-3/4" long x 5/8" wide. Made in America with gemstones from around the world.
Aquamarine is a vision of seaside, morning mist and feminine elegance. Sumptuously scalloped sterling silver showcases the soft opalescent blue of this gemstone, fluid sterling details pairing handsomely with the romantic character of the stone.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

Noah has had bad reflux since we brought him home in February.
The pedi has put him on Zantac 3x a day, and upping his dosage as he gains weight. We've also been to the pedi GI and he says that there's nothing we can do, except to let Noah outgrow it.
Well, I know that Noah has to be even more tired waiting to "outgrow" the reflux than we are...the poor baby! He not only spits up, but winds up foaming at the mouth at times, turning red and spitting up mucus along with the formula.
I've asked the pedi about switching formulas from NeoSure to GentleEase or something like that, because Noah's been gaining plenty of weight and is growing just fine. He keeps telling us that because Noah's a preemie that we can't change formulas on him to a 20 cal/oz. I don't think it'd hurt, but what do I know???
What do you think? Do you think it'd hurt Noah if we tried the Similac stuff for reflux and spit up? We're getting pretty desperate!

As for knowing all the rolls...Just today I learned a title of a position that I've supported for nearly 3 years now. I've always just referred to her as one of the admin assistants, but she's actually a project manager. What her exact duties are is beyond me. No one fills IT in on that kind of thing, so creating a form for all our people to fill out that would apply in every case would be nearly impossible. I can guarantee that no matter how much thought and questioning surveys I sent out to the managers, someone somewhere will read my thing and say, "I don't apply to any of these!"
IT isn't evil...they're just typically cut off from what the rest of their agency does. It's not always through any fault of their own either. Managers are generally reticent in relying vital information or assuming they already know it.
Oh, and just because a website is named something that appears legit, it doesn't mean it is. It isn't as easy as allowing all speech-language related domain names because anyone can create a web site using those words or combination of words. It doesn't mean they're not hosting malware and viruses, just waiting for some sucker to come and visit.
As far as AI...not my favorite night. There were a few good performances, but I thought a lot of them sucked. A couple of them outright sucked but got raving reviews from the judges. That's all I'll say until tomorrow.
chrissy, I am sad to read all you've got to deal with. I wrote a few paragraphs, but lost my connection and lost it all. Boo!
It's been mad busy over here. Bodhi's program at the local school was canceled last Friday due to the tsunami warning, and it seems we've been catching up on all the things we had to put off ever since.
Be well, mamas!
Chrissy, I'm not knocking IT people in general, really I'm not. I understand about the security risks and for a school district in particular, it's as much about blocking profanity, etc. as it is viruses and I get that even though I'm not a fan of censorship. I had no problem when they asked me to submit the form. It was just the way the form was worded. Seriously, teachers are the only people in the entire district allowed to access the internet and only for the purpose of direct instruction? Even not knowing what all the departments are or what they do, you have to imagine there is support staff (i.e. the principals, office managers, or even the IT department) that have legitimate, work-related, non-lesson-plan based reasons to access the internet. The statement that only websites used by teachers for direct instruction would be approved was what made me angry. It wasn't that they blocked the site in the first place.

Knowing the real geeks like I do, I still think they're just clueless and probably didn't even think about what anyone else in the building does. Some I work with are only faintly aware we have professors...
I mean, we have grad students that teach as TA's. Nothing new, universities do it all the time. But when we moved to the Exchange email system, no one in the IT department thought about what to do for the TA's as far as email at Cornell. It was a huge problem because the students have email through Cmail (contracted through Gmail of course), but for those students that also teach? What of them? And the emails were assigned based on NetID, so they couldn't have both. They planned the exchange rollout for years, literally, and no one at any of their meetings said hey, what are we going to do about TA's?
That's the level of cluelessness that geeks are capable of. It's universal I think.
And I didn't think you were knocking them. I really don't think people realize how much the IT depts work in a scientific way and spend very thought into what their employer actually does for a living. I imagine some head honcho said once in a meeting, "I don't want anyone but teachers to access the internet" and bam, it was done. It seems the higher ups are often the most clueless. Geeks just don't have a chance.
Sorry Mandy, I fear I'm coming off as defensive and really I'm not. Sometimes I'm told from the Powers That Be that something is going to be done this way and I instinctively know it's not going to go over well...but what can you do? I'm sure we've all been there.

I like Simon Cowell; I'm glad he's sticking with the UK X Factor.
I'll have to show you guys Cash's room; I did a Dr. Seuss room and instead of just ordering it all done for me, I've done a lot of creative things with it....I'll post some pics when I'm finished with it!
I can't wait to see it!
I keep coming across this story, and I can't help but think I'm supposed to learn from it or something I thought I'd pass it along, maybe it will help someone else, too.
An old Cherokee chief was teaching his grandson about life...
"A fight is going on inside me," he said to the boy.
"It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves.
"One is evil - he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, self-doubt, and ego.
"The other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.
"This same fight is going on inside you - and inside every other person, too."
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather,
"Which wolf will win?"
The old chief simply replied,
"The one you feed."

Kate, I love it.
I'm getting ready to start Buddism for Mothers. You ready??
I know at large libraries, they try to find IT people who also have an MLIS degree. Otherwise they just don't get what we need. I'm pretty lucky in that our library is small....but our main library is a pretty major one and they take care of out web and database needs.
And I'm VERY thankful that our filters are very limited. I have hardly ever come across a site that was denied. I couldn't imagine not being able to research erectile dysfunction, anal cancer, breast cancer, testicular issues, STD's (and OMG, there is this book that we have called STD color atlas....all teens should have to look at that because their are full on color pictures of very nasty STD cases) sex change operations....once of the journals I stock is called sexual dysfunction and compulsivity.
Now if only I could get publishers to chat with librarians more. They are the most irritating thing about my job. Name changes, supplements, weird numbering systems....i have one BMJ that is so awful, I removed it from our interlibrary loan channels. I literally cannot find articles....their print is just a bit more than abstracts but none of us can figure out their numbering to find the articles online. I'm just not going to spend 20 minutes finding an article for someone that isn't on our staff.
I confess it is going to take me forever to catch up in here...
We had wonderful flights, and the girls did great! I was able to kick back and read on my kindle!
We saw B..... He and his dad wanted to take the girls swimming, so I had to buy the girls swimsuits. I figured I would sit on the side and read while they swam, and then thought well... I better buy one for myself cause if I don't, the girls won't get in the pool with B and his dad.......
Good thing I did, cause neither one of those BRIGHT ones brought swim trunks....
Good to see you again! Glad you had fun with the girls! Boo on B and his dad. I don't think Rich would have thought about swim trunks either.
I don't have time Kate, and frankly I'm so beat by the time I get home I've been near tears. Hopefully it's just seasonal and will pass when spring finally gets here.
I'm sorry Chrissy I hope it's just seasonal too.
I just got the e mail that Buddhism for Mothers is ready-I'll get it tomorrow--
I just had a sex talk with Joshua we went to the library and Josh said "I want to learn about something" so we went to the librarian and she showed him around. Turned out he wanted books about the body so he picked one about breathing and one general one. They're both pretty advanced but they have good pictures of plastic models of all the systems and stuff. We got to the part about reproduction and he started asking lots of questions so I explained everything. He says he wants to help make a baby someday

I was so proud. We were just looking at the story books and he said "I don't want this kind of book, I want to learn about something" I just felt so proud. I hope he always wants to learn about something. And then how seriously he took the whole talk about making babies, he kept listening and nodding and asking follow up questions. It was a great moment. The last few days, I have just been noticing how much he is growing up.
It's gorgeous out here today.

Glad to see you on here, Ash; and glad that flight was well and you had a decent trip.
That's very impressive about Josh, Kate. He sounds very inquisitive, which I think is a great thing at that age.
I'll post pics of Cash's room next week; we still need to put one last coat of paint on 2 of the walls before all the decorations can go up, so we'll do that next week when my Rich is off work and then the room will finally be complete!
I have got to get myself to the gym and doing my workout dvd's ASAP; we're off to see my parents in the summer and I'll be mortified if I don't tone up a bit before then...my sister is naturally very slim, so I don't want to look like a dumpling next to her!
Chrissy, I hope you can get some rest and renew your energy.
Ash, how were the girls when they saw their dad? How was that for you?
So, I've been given some great advice about my concerns regarding Savana's behaviors. (Thank you, AbbeysMom) My whole approach has changed just over the past 2 days and I am already seeing small changes. It's not so much in the behaviors themselves, although some good things happening there. More so in her general demeanor. It's as though I opened her up again. She's not walking around with a scowl. I really think she was desperate for me to help her. One of the things suggested was to ask her to wait five minutes before washing her hands. She still does it, but she does wait. Then tonight at bedtime she said, "You know what I don't like about myself? That I always wash my hands. I don't actually even like washing my hands but I still always do it." Then after a moment she said, "Right now I want to go wash my hands because I touched my eye and i had an eye booger."
I said, "nah, just stay here so I can tickle your back." She can't resist that.
I heard her whisper a few times that she really wanted to wash her hands. But she didn't go. And now she's sleeping. Small victory.
All this time I just let her do whatever because i thought drawing attention to it wouuld make it worse. Now I feel like she so badly wants someone to help her stop.

New developments in the trial for suspected serial killer Anthony Sowell.
In addition to jurors being questioned in small groups about their views on the death penalty, the defense filed three motions on Monday:
Sowell is accused of killing eleven women and hiding their remains in and around his Imperial Avenue property. The 51 year old was indicted on charges that include aggravated murder, attempted murder, kidnapping, offenses against a human corpse, tampering with evidence, felonious assault, and aggravated robbery, and rape.
The jury process started early on Friday, and 300 jurors were summoned. All filled out questionnaires and watched a juror video.
They then met the judge and Sowell, who was dressed in street clothes and surrounded by deputies.
Sowell faces the death penalty if convicted.
The case has already cost taxpayers in the area of $600K dollars.

State Representative Brian Banks had to overcome some previous felony convictions to win his seat in Lansing. He did his time for those crimes, but history may be repeating itself."My past is just that. My past is my past," Banks said last November on Fox 2's "Let It Rip".Less than 24 hours after that appearance, Banks went to the Thrifty Scot Supermarket and passed a bad check. Five days later, he went to the same store and passed another bad check.So I called him Wednesday to ask what's the deal? He told me there is no deal. He covered the checks.The store's owner said he tried for months to get Banks to pay up, but it wasn't until he called the cops that Banks tried to make good on the checks, sending in someone else to drop off the loot.Police investigated, then asked Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy to charge Banks with a felony.The new Banks looks a lot like the old Banks. He has multiple felony convictions and a history of writing bad checks and credit card fraud. He has been evicted from half a dozen homes and was forced to leave one home just last month. The landlord says he still owes back rent.And who can forget Banks' Land Rover being repossessed shortly after the good people of Detroit, Harper Woods, Grosse Pointe Woods and Grosse Pointe Shores elected the Democrat to the state House.These bad checks could mean trouble for Banks in Lansing, too. They were written on his campaign account, but they appear nowhere in his campaign finance report. Leaving out that kind of information could be a violation of state law.Banks wouldn't talk on camera, but his attorney, Andrea Bradley, did send us a statement. She said Banks' campaign treasurer didn't realize a contribution check had bounced, and that is why there were insufficient funds in the campaign account.Bradley said, "Although Banks is not a signer on the campaign account and not the treasurer for the campaign account, Banks paid back the money for the check from his own pocket."She did not say why it took Banks months to pay back the debt or anything about the second check he bounced.

I wish I had known that breastfeeding is more of an art than a science!! That my baby would not always want to eat for 15 minutes on each side every three hours. That sometimes she would only nurse for 5 minutes on one side, and not take the other side. Or that sometime she would go 2 hours and want to eat again - or go 4 or 5 hours. And that it is OK and not to stress out about it!!
BFP 8/6/08! Brailey was born 4/4/09!
ETA: You don't need to use a lot just enough to do taste tests on every few hours (room temp), everyday (fridge) like an ounce or so. Freezer is a little more complicated but I'd suggest freezing small amounts seperately so you can thaw some each week to test. All in all... I could have 'wasted' 4 oz tops experimenting with instead of ending up throwing out 75 oz...

That the person who is supporting you the most will most likely pi$$ you off the most! With little sleep and a newborn that has been attatched to your boob for HOURS when you are sobbing- sometimes the last thing you want anyone to say to you is to KEEP HIM ON THE BOOB! But- once you find a way to relax and go with the flow and things get easier... you truly appreciate that person helping you get thru the rough beginning! Love ya Mom!!
I wish I'd known that I'm truly never stop worrying about supply. 7.5 months in and it's still a concern.
Audrey (38) DH (34), Lilly (DD), Logan (DS). Breastfeeding is more than feeding. It is communication between mother and baby. It is a form of nurturing; it is an act of love.
-If you don't have a comfortable couch, spend the money (even if you think you shouldn't) and buy a new one...you will be spending so much time on it in the first few months that it's worth it. I wish I had.
- Have healthy finger foods on hand all the time and a lot of water for during feedings.
- Have either really good cable or lots of movies for endless feeding in the first few months.
- Sometimes it will hurt no matter what you do...it will get better, but it will hurt.
- I never knew that I would get to 6 months of breast feeding and be ready to keep going and be sooooo proud!!!
I LOVE this thread!! I have to say that I have fallen madly in love with my baby boy and I can stare at him for hours while I b'feed him. I've had non sleep nights because he wants to b'feed constantly and barely have time for myself. It has been painful at times, but I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world!!
Thoroughly research a breast pump before you make your purchase. Ask as many other women as you can about their experiences with whichever pump they used, and compare your circumstances to theirs (breast size, nipple size, amount of pumping you plan to do).
If the pump you purchase breaks, you can get a replacement from the manufacturer while under warranty. However, if the pump just doesn't work well for you, but still functions, you can not exchange or return a used pump. I found this out the hard way.
I did find a store online that does allow returns, but they only sell Ameda pumps, which I've never tried. It's called Ameda Direct. So if you're looking for an Ameda breast pump, you might want to try there.
Also, go with a closed system breast pump if you can afford it. Much safer for baby!
These posts are very encouraging. I am a first-time mommy, and trying to figure out BF so badly. It's been one week, and things are slowly starting to fall into place. I'm very reassured that many of you have had similar experiences to what I am going through right now...
thank you so much for the info im due any day now and finding this part of the forum is going to help me out a lot especially when im in the hospital and feel more better about telling the nurses no if they try giving her formula. i really want to breastfeed and avoid formula as much as i can at first.
I wish I would have known to start using nursing pads before my milk came in. On my first night, just the tiny bit of colostrum caused my nipple to stick to the inside of my bra, and without realizing it, I opened my nursing bra in the middle of the night and tore the top layer of skin. OUCH! Dealing with the healing nipple combined with engorgement is soooo painful!
In the beginning it is VERY demanding but it gets better.
You don't have to love it.
After you have established a relationship with your LO it's empowering.
Here are my top-10 must-have fridge/pantry items for breastfeeding moms.
1. Seven minute steel-cut oatmeal with fruit (e.g strawberries) and walnuts.
2. Homemade trail mix. I mix 1 tablespoon of cashews, 1 tablespoon of raisins and 1 tablespoon of chocolate/carob chips. Get creative.
3. Non-fat yogurt with blueberries - very soothing and satisfying.
4. Smoothies made with non-fat organic yogurt, juice, and flaxseed.
5. Lean protein such as chicken, pork-loin, lean beef or fish. Eat 3-4 servings per day to help handle hunger pains throughout the day.
6. Organic eggs with DHA - great meal choice and snack for mom (also great for baby's brain development).
7. Vegetables such as green salad, cucumbers and tomatoes. Some vegetables are a little tricky; such as broccoli and cabbage. Sometimes the baby can get gassy so keep an eye out for baby's reaction.
8. Whole grain crackers, pita bread, and tortillas which are great with hummus, dips and cream cheese & veggies.
9. Fruit such as apples (with peanut butter), bananas, mangoes, pineapples and other seasonal fruit. Mix them up and have as mid-day snack.
10. Water!!! Did I say water? Water is the absolute best drink for the breastfeeding mom. It helps replenish fluids and helps maintain overall performance especially if you're exercising.
Last edited by lfmzmd; 03-03-2010 at 02:54 PM. Reason: I keep learning about breastfeeding
I wish someone had told me that it WILL hurt. Even with a "picture perfect latch" according to an LC-it was still really painful for the first few weeks. Take a vacuum and stick it to any body part for 3 weeks straight and you are bound to have some pain!
I wish someone had told me to get a pump beforehand. even if you are a SAHM like me, being able to pump to have DH do a couple of feedings is such a lifesaver. and midnight trips to walmart with aching nipples and a constantly nursing baby are no fun!
Also, it would have been nice to know that in the beginning, it is normal for babies to want to nurse 23/7 and sleep for the only hour left in the day. I was doubting my supply constantly but it was "normal".
Don't be disappointed if you have plans to nurse for at least a year and baby has different plans

-If you have really big breasts, not even those bravado bras fit. I wasted a ton of money when my xxl champion jog bras were just fine. They lack support, but at least through your leave and in the evenings, they're comfortable 24/7, you can sleep in them, and you can just pop a breast over the top when it's time to feed. And they're way cheaper than nursing bras. Also works nicely if you are using lanolin or want to use cold packs in between feedings.
-If you're going to be a career mom, plan ahead for where you'll pump. If you haven't done it already, check with your workplace after your sure the BF is working out to figure out what locations are appropriate, whether they'll allow you the time you'll need to pump, and where you'll store the milk. My office lets women use the rest room; at least it's a nice one. A friend, though, ended up with a supply closet. Like a stool, surrounded by shelves of post-it notes and pens. Another had to hang charts on the glass walls of her office so no one could see in.

Ten Nursing Pitfalls By: Diane West and Lisa Marsaco
Click on the link above for more in depth information. The ten pitfalls are:
1. Latch-on problems
2. The Sleepy Newborn
3. Unnecessary Supplementation
4. Pacifiers
5. Clock-Driven Feeding Durations & Feeding Schedules
6. Busyness
7. Outside Interferences
8. Hormonal Birth Control
9. Herbs
10. Alcohol
...that even with small breasts BFing is possible. i was worried about this, but all has gone smoothly. i do have 'great' nipples but my baby deserves all the credit as he took to it right off. also i wish i had known that even if you supplement with a little formula in the early daze (ha ha) as milk is coming in, baby will still BF. since i had a general anaesthetic with my CS it took me about 4 hrs before i met him, and the little guy was hungry! so i agreed he should take some formula from a little cup until i could offer him my boob. the formula supps a couple nites later let me sleep (thank god) in hospital, but since then, all breast milk. no schedule, just feeding when he seems to want food and/or comfort
Almost 11 months of BF and I hope to make it to at least 1 year! I wished I had known:
1) Use lactations consultants but know that they are not always right. I met with a few in the hospital and one after discharge and it was not until the third one came along, that I got the help I needed.
2) It is really tempting to reach into your freezer or pumped milk stash when the LO is eating non-stop or you don't feel like pumping or you think you are not producing "enough"-don't unless it's necessary. I wished I hadn't used so much of my milk freezer stash right away.
3) The beginning is rough. You are sleep deprived, you worry you are not producing enough, your ladies hurt. It takes practice. It doesn't happen overnight. It took about 3 weeks for both of us to get the hang of it.
4) When pumping, make sure you have the right size flanges. Once I got the right sized ones, I was able to pump a lot more.
5) Relax-ha ha. I know easier said than done but it helps. I was so tense in the beginning that it really made things so much harder.
6) That even though having the baby be with you soon after birth and BF soon after is ideal, you can still breastfeed successfully if that does not happen. My LO was in the NICU and got formula and pumped milk in the beginning but with hard work was able to learn to latch and has been BFing since.
I think that's it!
I wish someone had told me the proto-typical holds may not be right for me and baby and to hold her how we feel most comfortable. I went through 10 days of hell trying to get her to latch using the holds they describe in books and how the LCs at the hospital and pediatrician's office told me. But once I calmed down and held her in a position that felt right to us (which was most definitely not one of the traditional holds), she latched on and we've been nursing without issue since.

General BFing is far more time intensive than formula feeding because BFing babies feed, milk breaks down faster and is digested faster. About BFing before Baby Came are extremely common! Just because your baby has a hard time figuring out a latch. Learn how to type with one hand because nursing sessions can be Lonnie success with BFing are making sure that you are informed and surrounded by support.

That guilt doesn't help. That plenty of women don't b-feed and their children grow up to be healthy. I know it sounds counter intuitive-and I, by the some crazy dumb luck, 'easily' breastfeed-I saw soooooo many friends beat themselves up over not being able to do it "right." Supplementing etc.
I also wish I would have let the nurses give my first born formula-I cried and cried-she was sooooooo hungry and so I nursed 24/7 while she screamed. We both could have used a break.
What worked for ME (and many would not recommend-I'm NOT a doctor)-when my 2nd and 3rd were born-I pumped from day one. My milk came in and I had a ton-I just felt like it was a good start. I became engorged-but since I was sitting around I figured might as well pump.

I guess for me, it was really painful the first week or so. I know a lot of women have trouble with pain while nursing the first week. As long as baby is latched appropriately, it should get better. (It got so much better for me!) I would just say to try to keep going if you're going to nurse. Give it a few weeks and if it's still really painful then get some help through a lactation consultant. But if you don't keep going, it's ok. Baby will still be fine and it DOES NOT make you a bad mom.

Praise for this book
"Canagarajah has done it again. Just when you may have thought it was safe to retreat to the confines of disciplinary discipline and conceptual conformity, he produces a work that necessitates a serious re-examination and re-appraisal of what language study is, or should be, about. This masterful book will be essential reading for anyone seeking answers to the question: How do we do linguistics in a globalized world?"

Lindsey's Q & A
Who's your favorite sports team, and why?
Detroit Tigers because they're an amazing team and baseball is my favorite sport to watch. Although, I do love the Red Wings, there's just something about the white pants on the baseball players.
What's your favorite movie quote?
From Stepbrothers: 'the only reason you're living here is because me and my dad decided that your mom is really hot and maybe we should just both bang her, and we'll put up with the retard in the meantime.'
What's your favorite video game, and could you kick our butts at it?
Crazy Taxi, and I most definitely can!
Piercings/Tattoos (How many? Where?)
Four piercings on my ears. One tattoo on my wrist.
What's the most embarrassing song on your iPod?
Rick Astley- Never gonna give you up. It's one of those catchy songs that you don't really want to be seen listening to.
What's your best party trick?
I can open a beer bottle with my forearm.
What's the most memorable pick-up line you've ever heard?
"I 'm looking for treasure, can I check around your chest?"
What's the worst job you've ever had?
I was a server at Big Boy and the tips, customers, and food were all horrible.
What's the most dangerous thing you've ever done?
One summer my friends and I decided to sneak on someone's property for their rope swing that goes to the lake. When it was my turn, I jumped up on the rope swing but didn't have a well enough grip and fell onto the rocks in the shallow water. I'm not saying that going on a rope swing is dangerous, but trying to swing over a pile of rocks is! And it hurts!!
It's 4AM after a crazy night out – what are we eating?
Chicken pita from Rams Horn or National Coney Island.
What's the strangest thing in your fridge right now?
Super glue! I hear it lasts longer in the fridge.
What's the naughtiest thing you've ever done in public?
I went streaking down a street in mid-winter after being in a hot tub with some of my friends.
What do you feel sexiest wearing?
A pair of shorts, tank top and some tennis shoes. For me it's important to feel comfortable in what you're wearing out and a guy likes a girl who doesn't have to try too hard.
Tell us a joke.
Q: Why does a mermaid wear Seashells?? A: because D shells are too big and B shells are too small. So kiddish, but I find it so hilarious!
