If anyone has Jeanette Panchula's E-mail address could you send it to me
privately. Her last note said she had moved from PR to practically my
backyard. I copied her address wrong and couldn't send a message. Thanks,

Sounds like this ped needs to be sent his very own copy of the AAP
statement on
breastfeeding, with the relevant section highlighted. I do this on a
regular
basis, and it seems to make a difference. Not always, but often enough to
make
it worth my while. That's one thing I love about that statement - it's
quite a
handy tool when you need to dispell a myth.

Believe it or not, we have a ped in town (Corvallis, Oregon) who
insists
that moms with baby's over 10 lbs at birth can't possibly make enough
milk
AND tells them to supplement with rice-ABM bottles. Can't you just
hear us counting the days till he retires?

Jack,
I think you confuse what the devil makes you do with what is
really Devine inspiration.

Okay...my 2 cents is that no one can tell just by LOOKING at the
nipples...you have to actually push back toward the chest wall at the edge
of the areola at 180 degree points simultaneously, and then check the
complete opposite direction. This really does help. If the nipples dip in
or go totally flat, there are things to help the mom. The other thing it
does is it brings up the topic. Lots of women who have nipples that look
flat actually pop out for this test and you can bolster their confidence a
if they've been told "you'll never bf with those nipples." I agree
that large nipples are ten times harder than small nipples. I just saw a
that had nipples (not including areola) the size of a quarter.

Another LC has asked about this drug for a mother.
Baby is 4 months old. Has not fed at breast for 2 weeks. Mom wants to
relactate. She is taking Wellbutrin (Bupropion), not Zyban (time
released). She is taking 150mg a day in one dose.
I have read all that the Archives offers and Hale 98-99 and the information
is for 100mg of Zyban, which is a time released form. It all seems ok, but
is there a concern with the 150mg and the fact that she will be relactating
with a smaller volume of milk for a while?

Subject: 14 year old nursing mom
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
I have a first time mom who is 14 years old! She menstruated a good 2
before becoming pregnant but she does not think her milk has come
in. Originally she told me it had (she had large sore breasts) and that
she could feel let down. However now she doesn't think so. I believe a
meaning nurse as the hospital got it into her head that she may not
be able to lactate due to her age. Anyway her mom is there to support
her and she breast fed 3/5 of her children and seems to be very
supportive of her daugter's efforts. The first day the baby was home
they observed 2 bowel movements but only 3 wet diapers. The next day
the same, so she gave him a bottle and this is how the cycle gets
started. Of course I told her to call Ped. if not at least 5 wet
dosposable diapers. ShThe mom says she is nursing him at least every
1/2 to 2 hours because he is always hungry and rooting. Is it possible
that she is not making enough milk? Is it possible that her milk hasn't
come in? If so what does she do in the mean time? Pumping does not
seem to go well for her and time is of the essence. She is really
determined to nurse BUT she IS only 14 and wants it to happen instantly.
I could use some advise on how to counsel her! P.S. I told her to toss
her Formula Co. brand named pump because she was not having any results
but she says she cannot afford another. Sorry to ramble but this is my
first experience with a 14 years old mom and I want to do the very best
for her. Karen
