My oldest son is 25, my daughter is 21 and my youngest son is 17. When nursing my 2 oldest children I kept them on a schedule of nursing every 3 hours. At the time the "experts" (hah!) recommended getting babies on a schedule as early as possible. By the time my youngest came along I mellowed a lot and nursed him on demand. I HIGHLY recommend nursing on demand. I don't have any expert proof or research, just mom wisdom. Looking forward to other stories from organic moms..

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 CONGRATS!!! I have always made my own stuff when it came to my babies. Cloth diapers and home made organic baby food all the way! I learned 2 big lessons as a new Mommy... First I decided on keeping them in a sling. NOT the one where the babies legs are separated like a back pack (bad for babies new hips), but a wrap that you cradle the baby in front. Both my kids lived in that thing until they were old enough to protest, about a year+ or so. I rarely kept diapers on them. It was usually every 15-20 min or so at first, I would put them on the potty and praise them for going in it. They usually always did. After a while, about a month to 6 weeks, the baby will signal when they have to pee...a little squirm or a different kind of warning cry...somehow the mommy instinct kicks in and you 'just know' and you take the baby to the toilet, and rest them on it and they go! Over nights were usually on a plastic sheet or a towel and in a cloth diaper. Mine peed in their sleep, but some wont right off the bat. Overnights for us took until they could walk to master. If we had a long car ride or needed a baby sitter for some reason, I used disposible....but I only needed that a handful of times. It got to the point where they wouldn't go unless they were on the potty. It turns out for us, that if you don't train them to begin with to go in the diaper, you wont have to retrain them later to go on the potty. Also...our chiroprator saved my daughters life...kind of. I am an avid runner and with my second one, I really wanted to get back on the road. I didn't run while pregnant with her, but about 4 weeks after she was born, I started to again. That's about when she started to refuse to nurse. I figured it was a case of who was going to out stubborn who. I had the supply but she just wouldn't stay latched on...she would start...and then scream her head off. this went on for 3 weeks and fianlly we took her to the chiropractor. With a full check up and her first adjustment, she couldn't find anything wrong. I mentioned on our way out the door that I wanted to go running when we got home and the Dr. said...FREEZE!.... Lactic acid is leaking from your working out muscles into your breast milk...that's tastes sour and YUCKY! Also, aerobic activity will essentially turn your breast milk into skim milk...again...tastes thin and YUCKY!!!! I stopped working out and no less than 8 hours later she latched on and stayed their for 3 days!!!! Everything worked out in the end, but those 3 weeks were HORRIBLE scary for us. She wouldn't nurse and would just scream and scream. My best mommy advice here is don't start anything new when you are newly nursing. It is hard enough to establish a rhythm. Good luck with your new one!

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 My two- now ages 13 and 14- were demand fed, slept with me and tandem fed to boot- for a long time. The first bf until she was 5, the 2nd, born 17 months later, bf until he was 3.5. One day the older just said enough, and the younger agreed and they stopped together. The night feeding had stopped long before but the occasional day feeding had continued. I can attest to the benefit of long term breastfeeding and attachment parenting. No allergies, rarely sick (even though their diet was not ideal by my standards nowdays), and a solid sense of security. peela Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 The best advice I ever got about babies was the following: Babies can not be spoiled... Spoiled is left on a shelf to rot! Trust yourself as the mother of this baby over any "expert" because only you know what your baby needs. Trust your gut. When that baby cries and you heart breaks, it is for a reason, not because the baby is being manipulative but because it has a need it is communicating and only you can fulfill it! Teething pain is from lack of calcium. Satisfy the need and the pain and crabbiness goes away! Ways to get calcium to the baby include mom drinking plenty of red raspberry leaf tea, eating almonds, sesame seeds, etc. Also, if the baby is a bit fussy, I really like Dr. Christopher's Kid-e-calc. I found that a slightly larger than normal dose a couple times per day for 2-3 days usually was more than enough. My son was cutting 4 molars and all his eye teeth at the same time. 2 days of Kid-e-calc and no more complaining. Don't get stuck in the mindset of diapers. Babies can and do communicate with you. You don't need to become militant about being diaper-free, etc, but if you continually communicate and listen to your child about her potty needs, then potty training is a breeze because it is all on the continum of more independence. You can read about elimination communication in several books and on the internet. There is a group, similar to La Leche League called Diaper Free Baby that might be in your area. Keep in mind, you don't need to be militant.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009  Also, in addition to homemade, I suggest not stressing about solids. I have found that to be truly ready for solids, a baby must be able to sit un-aided, have a pincher grasp, have teeth (enzymes are added to the digestive system with each set of teeth ending with the enzymes needed for grains when the eye teeth come in), loss of tongue thrust reflex, crawling with the belly off the floor, and desiring food (not just they are 6 months and want to grab everything). I found that spoons made a nice pacifier at the table when the child acted like he wanted food but truly wasn't ready. Thus, it is quite ok to be exclusively nursing until well past a year. That is what mama's milk is for. I found that by doing all this, I never used baby food. I just fed the child what was on my plate. Broccoli spears were a hit, avocado chunks, peach chunks, potato chunks, etc. I did not do pureed foods- if the child can't eat it, she isn't ready for it! Marisa, MH Thank you Jen. I too use cloth diapers. Zea is still too little to eat and food yet but you can bet she will be getting home-made, organic baby food as well! ..

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 I'm personally ambivalent about immunizations. But I'm not about when to give them, or making sure they're mercury-free (as opposed to "free mercury!")baby's immune system is still immature and developing. Giving 6-8 immunizations (each with toxic levels of mercury) to a newborn is very damaging. If you immunize, do so after they are old enough to take the jolt to their immune system, and do the shots one at a time, and make sure _SURE_ the shots don't have mercury in them. My son has Autism, and we attribute that (at least in part) to the immunizations.-DougLeslie Brown <lesliepeppleherbal remedies Sent: Saturday, January 24, 2009 10:09:18 AMRe: {Herbal Remedies} Babies What do you all think about giving/not giving immunizations?

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 I am not ambivalent about them at all. Until the Medicos and the Pharmaceuticals straighten out their act in this area, I'd recommend against ALL immunizations. Just too risky in this day and age. I would be willing to venture that your son's autism could be entirely attributed to immunizations. I also feel that the condition can be fully reversed. But that is my opinion based on research for the most part, and only partially on clinical observation.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 I have to laugh at Doug saying that. He is my brother, and it was his son's autism that made me start to THINK about vaxing instead of just doing. My eldest daughter was our foster child, and so that was out of our hands until she was two. I do know that she learned her first word at 1, and then got her vaccinations, and couldn't learn any words or speak at all. She has been diagnosed since then with apraxia (something Doug's second son has after they cleansed his body when they started noticing autistic symptoms coming after vaccinations). After seeing that, and starting the research, I am quite sure that I will not vax my children. I am pretty sure with Alayna's challenges that if we had continued with vaxing and gotten the two year shots (MMR at 2 is a HUGE factor in autism) she would be autistic. She has a lot of traits, but misses out on the autistic spectrum thank goodness. Autism is the one that people know, but there are so many other damages that vaccines do, and they DO NOT PREVENT catching the disease. Doctors have gotten so vax happy it is scary. There are so many things they vaccinate for. We do not need to be prevented from ever being exposed to illness. It isn't good for our bodies. In sterile hospitals they create super bugs. They have discovered that people who use antibacterial everything and keep their houses spotless actually have children more prone to illness. I like to think of the Martians on War of the Worlds. Trying to keep themselves from all sickness they made themselves more vulnerable. Remember the illnesses that are the MOST devastating to a population are those that are unfamiliar to their bodies. By trying to keep ourselves from all these illnesses aren't we making more likely a serious reaction to exposure? (And make no mistake you are exposing yourselves to them when you are vaccinated or around someone who is newly vaccinated.) There are continual wild outbreaks among the vaccinated populations.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 I would never even consider giving my child immunizations. They are synthetic and invasive and there are major health issues that can and do result because of them. ~Kelly Leslie Brown wrote: What do you all think about giving/not giving immunizations?  Leslie  Organic Solutions <organicsolutions (AT) cabletvonline (DOT) net> herbal remedies Friday, January 23, 2009 5:09:07 PM Re: {Herbal Remedies} Babies I have been nursing on demand from the beginning. I agree 100%...Babies know when they are hungry! This method is working very well for Zea and I. She is very good a communicating what she needs. I didn't agree that I should wake her up to nurse if a few hours had gone by...But that was never a problem, Zea created her own schedule that keeps her very well fed☺ Lori Smith wrote: Yes, nurse on demand. Babies know when they are hungry! I home-birthed my last 6 kids and nursed all of them until at least a year old and always nursed on demand. These last 6 kids now range in age from 25 down to almost 17, and all are healthy and hale!  Lori Schooling is not education, and education is not schooling~John Taylor Gatto herbal remedies bradandkris@ comcast.net Thu, 22 Jan 2009 21:12:55 -0500 {Herbal Remedies} Babies Kelly- Congrats on your beautiful Zea! I have three children. My oldest son is 25, my daughter is 21 and my youngest son is 17. When nursing my 2 oldest children I kept them on a schedule of nursing every 3 hours. At the time the "experts" (hah!) recommended getting babies on a schedule as early as possible. By the time my youngest came along I mellowed a lot and nursed him on demand. I HIGHLY recommend nursing on demand. I don't have any expert proof or research, just mom wisdom.  Looking forward to other stories from organic moms.. Kris  Hi Everyone! As you all know, I recently had a beautiful baby girl named Zea. (I am sure you have heard all of the bragging her proud Grandpa has been doing☺) As a new mother, I am learning the ways of babies and the magic they radiate into our lives. Zea is absolutely thriving in every way and I would like to open the list to a discussion on Babies. I would love to hear input and ideas from all of you proud parents out there and share wins and successful actions on how you helped your little baby sprouts grow! As I said, I am a new mother with an 11 week old baby and am having win after win! I am open to any questions and ideas on how to have an Organic Baby☺. Let us commence with Baby Talk! ~Kelly~ __._, Windows Live™: E-mail. Chat. Share. Get more ways to connect.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 I have decided that Zea will nurse for as long as she feels she needs to, no more no less. I have heard lots of success stories from people who have long term breast fed. There's nothing like Mothers Milk! ~Kelly Susan Shobbrook wrote: My two- now ages 13 and 14- were demand fed, slept with me and tandem fed to boot- for a long time. The first bf until she was 5, the 2nd, born 17 months later, bf until he was 3.5. One day the older just said enough, and the younger agreed and they stopped together. The night feeding had stopped long before but the occasional day feeding had continued. I can attest to the benefit of long term breastfeeding and attachment parenting. No allergies, rarely sick (even though their diet was not ideal by my standards nowdays), and a solid sense of security. peela Attachment: vcard [not shown] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
