Club Breastfeeding Mums

Robiq:
sigh.... talking about milk plugs!! My right side is stuck now... and I can't find the culprit!! Must be cos I did not drink much water today and it is so late at BB will not want to help me out cos she'll rather sleep! hope I get it out soon, if not, how to survive the night??
Ahh finally!! I got the plug out... It is amazing how something so small, the size of the head of a needle can cause so much discomfort! Now I can finally go to sleep after expressing out the rest of the milk! -
Robiq,
Wah...good for you! I'm still not over mine...

Hope your BBs suck really hard!! By the way, when I start getting engorged, I take Lecithin, it helps; makes the milk more watery and less chance of engorgement.Robiq,
Wah...good for you! I'm still not over mine... -
Robiq,
Yeah, I heard about lecithin, but didn’t have a chance to buy. Maybe I should get some. I’ve been taking more EPO these two days, plus danzen, plus massage. Actually, it’s better today. Still sore, but less. Hope it’s on the mend! -
Hi MummyThreeStreams,
Can you please share how EPO can help in your situation?

I also want to know about EPO, cos I was taking it pre preggie to control mood swings...etc, but since preggie, I went off as it was bad for preggie. Would like to know how EPO affects breastfeeding too! -
Autumnbronze,
I don't know the mechanism by which EPO helps, but it's been recommended as a possible treatment for plugged ducts. See the kellymom website: http://www.kellymom.com/nutrition/vitamins/lecithin.html
The reference to EPO is at the bottom of the page.
Since I have EPO at home (not very consistent I'm taking it though), I thought I should take more! -
Robiq,
EPO is generally considered safe for breast-feeding. You can read more about it at the kellymom website: http://kellymom.com/herbal/natural-treatments.html

He is eating porridge and baby pasta as main lunch and dinner, with bf for breakfast, light meal and before sleep.

Hi Hi, thought BB can only eat rice cereal and solids at 6 months...? You check with his doctor already?
