OT : going to be a grandma again :))

[Guest guest]

Hi Chris, Kathleen and all

well, I'm going to be a grandma again! You all went through Nicola's first

pregnancy with me, all the sickness, (the miscarriages first) and then the joy

of the little boy - and now, in August it;s all going to happen again. I'm

really pleased, but I'm asking for some information here. I think that it might

be in the archives and if someone can point me in the right direction then I'll

go and have a look.

After a fairly traumatic birth Nic found feeding quite difficult and eventually,

after a hefty dose of thrush in her milk ducts followed by mastitis, she had to

give up. She wants to breastfeed this next one but wants as much information as

possible on how she can keep the thrush at bay so that she can avoid the awful

pain and also the sorrow of not being able to continue feeding past 6 weeks.

Any information will be gratefully received.

Hi Ann!

 

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I'm usually the silent lurker here, but I have sent you a lengthy

private post on this subject. I have nursed my 4 children and now

have 11 (almost 12) grandchildren. I found a couple of websites that

might be helpful to you, and also rambled on about all the things I

could remember about breastfeeding and thrush. It is very painful and

discouraging, but with your support and encouragement, I hope she will

be able to successfully breastfeed this time. I also pray for a

healthy pregnancy and safe delivery. Many times, the attitude of

people around a nursing mother can " make or break " her success so try

to encourage her in every way you can & have a " you can do it "

attitude! If you live close enough to help her, that would be

wonderful! Good luck!

Thanks to everyone who has posted on this one.

I've forwarded all the links on thrush etc to my daughter.

Sadly (for me) she is 400 miles away and I can't get there very often, although

I shall be there during (I hope) and after the birth for a few weeks
