Hi there,
Coming out of lurkdom to pose a question a fellow LLL leader received on
the help forms. She was able to find a few posts in the archives but was
wondering if any of you wise people had any further suggestions for the
mom.
>>Baby age=9 months
>Baby weight=approx 11 kg
>Birth weight=4.150 kg
>Question=Have you any information about how breastfeeding affects the
>mother's eyesight?
>
>Am slightly long-sighted, wear glasses all the time. When breastfeeding my
>first child I had great trouble reading, but my optician advised against
>changing lenses before I'd stopped breastfeeding. A test showed that I did
>need stronger lenses. After I'd finished breastfeeding my eyesight went
>back to "normal", ie, what it was before I had my baby.

>Am experiencing the same symptoms with my second child, and do not really

>Thanks in advance for your help.
Going back into lurkdom now (but learning so much from everyone here)
