Club Breastfeeding Mums

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!

MyummyThreeStreams,
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

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

It’s possible to feed bb food at 4mths. Baby books do state that bb can eat bb food from 4-6 mths old and commercial bb foods do cater for it.


My PD also told me that bb can eat at 4mths but I prefer 6 mths. So I started my bb only after she was 6mos.

I started feeding my bb at 7 mths cos I am prone to food allergies. BB is now almost 9 mths. Can anyone share with me what type of local veg is ok to feed BB, cos all books are always limited to Western Vegs!
