Well, it's done! Wasn't bad at all. Nursed like a champ afterwards (painlessly, I might add) And now she is sleeping. So happy I went through with it. Thanks for the support.
Well, it's done! Wasn't bad at all. Nursed like a champ afterwards (painlessly, I might add) And now she is sleeping. So happy I went through with it. Thanks for the support.
Nursed my sweet daughter 3 years, 3 mos.
She nursed pretty well today but, I ended up having to supplement with 2 oz of formula around 6 pm. My nipples are still creased when she releases although, it doesn't feel like an alligator is clamping down on them when she latches now! Wondering when or if I'll see a lot of improvement with both her satisfaction at the breast and my supply...
Also, oddly enough, the ENT didn't recomment ANY exercises but, I think I may do them anyway. At least in part.
If you are still having any latch pain or milk transfer issues, you want to keep well on top of that. If you have excercises to do, I would certainly do them. What could it hurt? Remember that releasing tt is a "new" intervention (not really, it was done routinely until the 1940s when formula feeding became the norm.) But for a long time, this intervention fell away, and particularly as a BREASTFEEDING intervention it fell out of favor for decades. So some doctors are just not up on this as a breastfeeding intervention, so do your research. It is hard to find info on excercises online (at least I am having difficulty) but as I recall a mom on here found info from Dr. Kotlaw. http://www.kiddsteeth.com/articles.html
Also, have you seen an IBCLC?
Why did you supplement? Too painful to nurse yet again? Concerned baby is not getting enough? Be really careful. Unneeded supplements will harm milk supply. Actually, even needed supplements harm supply, you have to pump to make up the difference, and it can snowball, and get to be a real drag.
Yes, I see a IBCLC regularly. She's the one who spotted the posterior tongue tie. I'm supplementing because my baby cries most of the day and is never satisfied from a feed. I have a 23 month old who needs love, attention, breakfast, lunch, etc When I give my 2.5 week old a bottle, she relaxes, belches and sleeps. She has never done that at the breast. Never. I have no clue what else to do but feed my hungry baby. She also lost 15 oz of her birth weight.
So glad the pain has improved! I'm also still working on getting a good latch from my baby, whose TT was released on Wednesday - I still have creased nipples on the right side, but the left is almost perfect now. I'm doing the exercises, because like Meg said, it can't hurt! (PM me if you would like me to cut/paste my exercises for you.) It can take some time to retrain a baby's latch, once they've gotten used to latching a certain way.
You could start weaning off that supplement slowly. Formula is harder to digest than breastmilk, which is one reason it tends to just conk babies out. However, it doesn't need to be all or nothing right now - you could slowly back off and give her smaller bottles without giving up the bottle entirely. Feeding your baby is very important, couldn't agree more, but it's true that supplementation can be a slippery slope. Does your LC have a plan for you to get off the supplements? You might find it reassuring to work with her on this issue, rather than just trying to drop the supplementation overnight, you know?
You can call me JoMo!
Mom to baby boy Joe, born 5/4/09 and breastfed for more than two and a half years, and baby girl Maggie, born 7/9/12.
I am sorry i if my post was in anyway offensive I just meant that supplementing means mom has to pump as well or risk losing milk supply. Of course your older child needs care it is certainly difficult when there are breast feeding issues and mom has other responsibities. If you have friends or family around to help? A friend of mine just hired A mothes helper to help with her older kids during this difficult newborn period cheaper than a sitter.
@JoMo- I pm'd you. Thanks!
@lllmeg- I didn't mean to sound defensive! You didn't offend me at all. It's just that, gah..i SO KNOW that supplementing is a slippery slope. I went down it with my first daughter (who was also TT but, never got clipped) It's just that when my nerves are fried and I haven't slept in days and I'm an emotional wreck because I feel like a failure in the bfing dept, it's really hard to talk myself down from the ledge. Especially when I know that a bottle will help her sleep and I can sleep, or spend time with my toddler or get dinner ready (or post on these forums). Working with my LC to wean. It's just 2-4 oz per 24 hours but, she's clearly addicted to that nighttime full belly already!

- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
This randomized phase III trial is studying sunitinib malate to see how well it works compared to sorafenib tosylate or placebo in treating patients with kidney cancer that has been removed by surgery. Sunitinib malate and sorafenib tosylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving sunitinib malate or sorafenib tosylate after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery. It is not yet known whether sunitinib malate is more effective than sorafenib tosylate or placebo in treating kidney cancer.

Bushrangers hit by Hodge injury
Victoria batsman Brad Hodge wants to play in Saturday's domestic Twenty20 final against New South Wales, but his coach is already hunting for a replacement.
Hodge injured his hamstring during his man-of-the-match innings of 59 not out against Queensland in the preliminary final on Wednesday night, steering Bushrangers into the grand final despite the injury.
Should Hodge be ruled out it would be a major blow to Bushrangers, with many claiming the 34-year-old as the best batsman in Twenty20 cricket.
Hodge averages a remarkable 42 with the bat in Twenty20 matches and has struck three 50s in six innings so far this season at an average of 65.50.
And while Hodge admitted his injury wasn't looking good, he wasn't ready to rule himself out just yet.
"We'll just have to wait and see, it's not ideal at the moment," Hodge said.
"It doesn't feel that great but we'll just have to wait and see, get out there and test it out.
"I want to play, it's a final.
"Obviously I'm pretty disappointed at the moment to be in this position but my job was to try and get the boys into a final and we've achieved that.
"I'm just trying to be fit and trying to win a title for Victoria.
"If I'm not fit then I won't play, that's going to hinder the team's performance, but if I'm fit then I'll play."
But Victoria coach Greg Shipperd said he wasn't confident Hodge would play, leaving Bushrangers without three of their biggest names for the game.
With all-rounders Cameron White and David Hussey on international duty, Shipperd knows he can ill-afford to lose Hodge as well.
"The news on his injury is not good, the first assessment is that he's going to be a couple of weeks out," Shipperd said.
"We'll do everything we can to try and get him up but that's basically where we're at.
"I think we've lost him for the game and we need to search very quickly for a replacement for him."
Shipperd refused to rule out looking overseas for Hodge's replacement in a similar move to NSW's controversial recruitment of New Zealand star Brendon McCullum.
But the Victoria coach admitted such a move would be an unlikely proposition with time so tight.

I think of my own mother today, gone from earth 25 years ago this week but with me always, in every breath I take. All I have to see are the wild violets growing in the long grass in Spring and she comes back to me, as I recall all the small bouquets she accepted from my grubby little hands. Murmuring how violets were her favorite flower, she placed them delicately in a small vase. If she had time, a round tray would come down from its spot on the counter, and her pocket mirror would be placed on it as a reflecting pond, with the violets next to that. My job would be fetching some soft green moss from the base of the back yard trees to place around the mirror, adding leafy twigs for trees and the fences we would arrange on the edges of the tray, ultimately creating a magical miniature garden. It's funny what you remember.
Not all of us can be a mother, but we are all the sons and daughters of someone who cared enough about us to give us life. I hope that today reminds you of something you have loved about your mother. Pass that love along, won't you? The world could use some of it very badly. Here's a lovely video of mothers on film with music from Connee Boswell, singing (what else?) "Mommy."
The mothers above were played by Irene Dunne, Maureen O'Hara, Claudette Colbert, Norma Shearer, Myrna Loy, Marlene Dietrich, Greer Garson, Carole Lombard, Shirley Temple, Natalie Wood, Judy Holliday, Joan Fontaine, Katharine Hepburn Spring Byington, Sara Allgood, May Robson, Deborah Kerr, Ginger Rogers, Vivien Leigh, Olivia de Havilland, Bette Davis, Arlene Francis, June Allyson, Jean Arthur, Jennifer Jones, and Joan Crawford.

LMAO! It wasn't out of my system when I was college bound.
LMAO! It wasn't out of my system when I was college bound.
Any of it will get ya if ya drink tomuch! I have had my share of them experiences lol. I agree with exposing kids to it so its not such a big deal and they have some idea of their limits when they get out on their own.
I don't have a big problem with a little exposure, but bring more than whiskey and beer when you take them along! My dad was a rough dude to hang with. His theory was "If I can drink it , so can he" so I tired like hell.
We would go hunting for the weekend and all that was in the cooler was Bud Light and hot dogs, we had mustard and a loaf of white bread for the dogs. Talk about makin' a kid tough! Crazy thing is, I still like hot dogs and beer??
Missed out on some good fishing today. The fertalizer/spray company we use had what they called a miss communication yesterday. I call it their new field guy screwed up....again, and they didnt come out yesterday like they were supposed to and didnt figure it out till about 2:00 when I talked to the guy I should of talked to in the first place. So to make a long story short I stayed home and sprayed barley today while everyone else went fishing.
I wish I knew as much about hunting gear, rifles, bullets, optics, units in other states as I do what "not" to do in life. I'm not a very good contributor to this site until someone wants info on hunting in Oregon, which isn't often!
just booked a pig hunt in Kauai on the 24th weapon of choice _Knife_ i'm so stoked any you ever hunt pigs with a Knife?

The Robot
Bomb disposal is one of the most dangerous
activities for a law enforcement officer. The Tampa Police Department's
Bomb Squad uses a robot to make the officer's job a little safer. The
robot above is called Andros and is made by the
Remotec, a subsidiary of the Northrop Grummen Corporation. Andros has a
camera coupled with a strong light. The knobby tires and the tracks
provide good stability and rough terrain capability.
Finally, there is a sturdy manipulator on the front. The robot uses this
manipulator to pick up the bomb and then uses the mobility platform to
move the bomb to a remote location where it can be safely destroyed by
secondary explosives. All of these activities are remotely controlled by
an officer.

My child is both very outgoing and surprisingly shy. Any time she meets someone new, adult or child, her first reaction is to stand off (or look to her mom or me for cover). Given a little time and exposure however she warms up quickly and will soon be off playing merrily with the same person. Through play dates, time at preschool, and trips to parks and such, we work to vary the people she meets and give her time to come out of her shell. How do you encourage your child to get out and meet new people?
I think time is definitely the key to this. My little one is all smiles and cuteness once she is out of her shell, but it takes a while for her to get there. Over the summer, a girlfriend of mine babysat for my kids when my husband and I had to go to a wedding. This was really the first time my youngest had spent any time with her and she was not comfortable about it. After that night, my daughter was very shy and standoffish with my friend. But the more she saw her, the more she became comfortable with her. Now, she loves my friend and asks to see her.
It's natural for any child to be anxious about meeting new people and want to get comfort from those she trusts. Encouraging her to see for herself that the situation is safe and good is a great way to help ease that transition from unknown to comfy.
That is completely normal....though I never experienced it..... the ONLY people that either of my boys are leery of are ones that I am leery of as well. It actually bothers me because they are too friendly and in this day and age it's a scary concept. The little old lady in the grocery store could really be shopping for something more than food.... You never know and thats my point..... my boys at 3 and 5 have no fear and talk to everyone even if they aren't being talked to! It's a scary situation and I'm not sure how to react sometimes.

Is there any way to enable inverse scrolling like on Mac OSX?
You can use "Natural Scrolling" to have a system wide inverse scrolling.
What is Natural Scrolling?
Natural Scrolling is a GNOME Applet allowing you to reverse the direction of scrolling. You push your fingers upwards to move the page content upwards (and downwards for downwards) just like on iOS devices. Don't move scrollbars anymore but your file.
Install Natural Scrolling:
Natural Scrolling can be installed from its PPA.
Hit Alt+Ctrl+T to open terminal and run following commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:zedtux/naturalscrolling sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install naturalscrolling
How to enable Natural Scrolling?
Once installed, Hit Super key (Windows key) to open Unity dash and search for "natural scrolling" and open it. You'll see a new indicator in Unity panel, Click on it and select your device. In the preferences you can set it to start at login. That's it!
You can also use Ubuntu Tweak tool to enable natural scrolling (misc settings)
Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/az1KFnB.png
Official homepage with .deb distributive: http://ubuntu-tweak.com/
The Natural Scrolling application referred to in Basharat Sial's answer does not fix natural scrolling in certain system windows.
As an alternative, I recommend the guide provided in this answer. You won't need the natural scrolling application anymore when you use his guide.

Some advice on bullet weight and selection.
Dear AH members
I have finally decide to buy a rifle in a 30-06 caliber (after much thought over a 270win.) My two questions are.....does a 165g bullet have a big difference in felt recoil over a 150g? And your opinions/experience with the sirroco 2, nosler E-tip and or the factory loaded PMP ammunition for use on plains game.
Thanks for your help, appreciate it

I never used a 165 gr bullet in my 30/06. I either used 150 gr nozler ballistic tips or 180 gr Nozler partitions. Both loads are loaded so I have the same sight setting on my scope so I can feel no major difference in recoil between them. I loaded the sirrocco, but it didn't group the best of my loads. I never used the e-tip nor shot any factory loaded ammo in a centerfire rifle in over 30 years.

The difference in recoil is small.
I don't have any experience in the Nosler E-tip bullet.
I guess when you talk about the PMP ammo, you mean their African Elite line that uses a 180 grain Swift A-frame bullet.
Both me and friends have used Scirocco II and A-frame bullets for different game(not PG) for many years and they both perform very well.
I am sure any of those 2 bullets will do a very good job on PG. Another bullet I would recommend is the Barnes TTSX.
If you expect long range shots, I would use either the 165 grain Scirocco II or the 168 grain TTSX as they have a clear advantage because of their high BC of 0.470.

For the most part I always use the biggest "normal" weight bullet for the caliber. In the 30-06, it is the 180 grain bullets. But the 165 should be fine. And the E Tip, Scirocco and Barnes TTSX are excellent choices.

I don't think you will notice the difference in recoil at all, matter of fact I cannot remember the last time I shot at an animal and even felt the recoil. I would also recommend the Barnes TTSX if they shoot well in your rifle. Also nothing wrong with the tried and true Nosler Partition or Swift A-frame.David Tenney

When I was young, my father told me that a woman shops for shoes by buying a pair of shoes she likes. Then she looks at a lot of other shoes to see if there is something she likes better. Then she decides the shoes she got are good, but she checks around to see if she got the best price. A man decides he needs a pair of brown shoes, finds a pair he is happy with, and then is done with it. A 168g Barnes TTSX is my pair of brown shoes. It does what I want a 30 caliber bullet to do, every time. This or that may do this or that better or not, but I really don't care in the least. I am done shopping.
If comparing different loads and different bullets is a fun hobby for you, have at it. If you just want to reliably kill animals with your 30-06, an X bullet will suit just fine for (in my first hand experience) everything from springbok to eland.

Agree you won't notice much recoil difference. I used the 165 weight in my old .30-06.
The only PMP ammo I have tried was in a 9.3x62 and if it shoots accurately in your rifle it should be fine.Time spent in Reconnaisance is never wasted.

Im sure if blindfolded and handed the gun no one would be able to pick out which bullet was which. I dont think the game will be able to tell either. Shoot the one your gun likes best.The journey is the reward.

(welcome to the forum)
Congrats on your 30-06 purchase. It is a good all-round choice of caliber and rifle and if you do your part you will start making fond memories (and biltong) soon.
I have been hunting with my WBY 30-06 now for a couple of years and i use nothing but PMP ProAmm 150/180 gr bullets. I do not reload and we have a more limited range of brands here in Namibia than in RSA or abroad. In the beginning i tested Norma / PMC / PMP standard / and PMP ProAmm and my rifle shot best with ProAmm's. The price is also not too bad. I have hunted exstensively Kudu / Gemsbok / Springbok / and occasionally Eland, and all animals on all my hunts i have hunted with 150 gr (plains) and 180 gr (bush). The Barnes TTSX is a very good bullet - so are many others out there.
You received some excellent advice so far and i can just add to it. What are you going to hunt mostly and where / terrain? Kudu / Gemsbuck / Eland, etc in dense bush or Springbuck / BWB / Gemsbuck, etc in open terrain? What and where / distances will promarily determine the bullet weight you use. If you answered yourself on these questions, then it would be easy to determine your bullet weight for your hunting. Now remains to purchase a couple of different brands in the weight you decided on - go to the range and check out which bullet brand your rifle prefers and then stick to it.
Somewhere on this forum is also ideas on how to go about 'shooting in' (inskiet) your new rifle and the process to follow. I strongly suggest you read it and follow the important procedures. Perhaps someone reading this who knows where that post is can insert a link for you.
Getting the correct bullet brand and weight for your rifle is part of the fun having a new rifle. Keep in mind though, 99% of your hunt-sucess will be determined by you and your shooting ability, not the rifle or the bullet choice
Good luck and enjoy your new 30-06FHM3006

Thanks everyone for your time and advice, i really appreciate it
I will prohababy use the 165g bullet. I think keaping to one grain/bullet type and learning its specific ballistics is gonna make life easier. As for the brand i'll prohabably try out the TTSX, sirocco and the PMP proamm and see wich one shoots best.
Once again thanks so much every one for your help

Christian before you make up your mind reload some of each round that you think you would like to use and see what does best in your rifle. You will find they all shoot a little different out of your rifle then go with the one that groups the best whats grouping at 1inch a 100yards may be 6 inch at 300 and that could mean a miss or wounded animal. for the wifes 30-06 I loaded 180gr TSX zeroed at a 100 yards 1/2 inch group using 180gr core loc same load the bullet dropped 4 inchs at 100yards with a 1 1/2 inch group so try them out and see what shoots best.Enjoy life now -- it has an expiration date.

Unfortunatly i cant relaod my own ammunititon, (to much school work in my opinion), so i have to buy the ammunititon already loaded. Just a quick question from what you suggested, do you think that i should just go straight to the barnes TTSX bullets (if its shoots well in my gun to be)and sight in my scope from there? also in your opinion do you think that a 270win. has a similer recoil to that of a 30-06??i dont want to get a higher caliber rifle that i cant shoot well either( why does every thing have to be so complacated)
Thanks again for your invalubale advice

I would cut to the chase and try out the TTSX bullets, they usually shoot very well in most guns.
There is no reason not to consider the 270 Win. Bullet placement will be important but it's plenty of gun for most game. I think learning to shoot one gun is important. The 30-06 is the better gun over the 270 Win., especially if you are hunting mostly larger antelope.

30-06 is a great round, and depending on bullet weight and the burn rate of the powder there may be a slight increase in recoil, but, nothing that is going to destroy you.

What are the rules about gun ownership in your country? If you can only have one rifle then I would broden my caliber choice.

The 180 is the classic weight for the '06 and is best if heavier game is on the list, but the new wonder bullets make up for weight, especially the no-lead bullets because they are long for their caliber and weight and dig deep.

Do you have access to a gun club? or Hunting Association. There are lots of shoots where members would let you shoot each rifle and feel it for yourself.
If you are in KZN still PM me and I'll give you a local contact who can give you some info on local events.Practice whispering before you leave for Africa!

Appian Way Adventure: Rome to Apulia
Rome, Vatican, Alberobello, Matera, Lecce, Bari
Tour Description > View Itinerary
The Appian Way, or via Appia, is known across Italy as the "queen of the long roads". It was constructed as one of the earliest and most strategically important Roman roads of the ancient republic. Begin your exploration of the Appian Way at its origin in the city of Rome. With so much to see in the Italian capital, we've made sure there is time to take it all in. Your three days in Rome include visits to the Colosseum and the Vatican, as well as free time to discover Piazzas, galleries, museums and more. From Rome you'll travel the length of the Appian Way, all the way to Apulia. Visit the towns along the Appian Way to explore a Royal Palace; taste the local wines; and lunch at a local tourist farm. From bustling city streets, to the sparkling waters of the Adriatic Sea, you'll find a little of everything in our Appian Way Adventure.
With discounts for multiple travelers, the Appian Way Adventure is also ideal if you are planning a small group tour to Italy.

After an hour of riding in the rain my grip glue failed, leaving me without throttle control as the grip spun freely. I have learned from my day of failure and now safety wire every grip.
