Dayton Mama's 2008 - Page 5

For the first two months of my baby's life he was unable to nurse, so I pumped exclusively for him. My milk supply was so abundant I ended up with over 500oz in the freezer in a little over a month. I have donated around 300oz of that to a friend in Wa state. I have about 200oz that still need a home. now that my baby is fully on the breast there is no way we will be able to use it before it expires. So if you or you know of someone that is in need of bm please let me know. The milk needs used in the next month or so.

I wish. I have a lot in my freezer that is going to go to waste as well. I had to go dairy free for my daughter and non of the frozen stuff is dairy free so right now she cannot have it.

[tenecwalker]

Is she doing better now that you are dairy free? I did find someone that is looking for bm for her adopted daughter if you are interested in donating.

I haven't frequented these boards in a couple years, but I "recognize" a few of you from the attachedparents yahoo group.

We are expecting #5 in Aug. Good to "see" some familiar names.

Hi, Dayton area: please see my thread "Interested in exposure to chicken pox in organic living family" in the IN/Oh/MI tribal area, if you know of anyone who has chicken pox this summer. Thanks!

(Please reply there, if you do know anything pertinent, as I am only subscribed to get replies to it, to keep email down during a hectic time.)

Thanks and cheers.

Last call for Breastfeeding Celebration!!

Ladies,

If you are looking for something fun to do with your families tonight stop out at the La Leche League Breastfeeding Celebration at Delco Park in Kettering! We have the Mayor coming to sign a proclamation making May 9, 2008 La Leche League Day, Kettering's Police and Fire Departments coming with a squad car and fire truck, and lots of great things that we have to raffle and auction off. The Celebration is from 5-8 at the picnic shelter!

[kriket]

we can't sit on page... whatever!!

how did the LLL thing go?

[cognito]

I wanted to check out the BFing Celebration at Delco Park, but was still in the hospital with my new little guy. He made his debut May 6th by emergency cesarean & then had to stay an extra day for jaundice. My milk didn't come in until day 5 so we did supplement for a few days to battle the jaundice, but now he is exclusively BFing. I'm sooo happy!
I hope the event went well. I had my own special event... I spent Mother's Day with the 2 sweetest little boys ever

ETA: Southview has become much more baby friendly since I had my 17mo. They had my baby to me within 30min of surgery so I could BF. They do more testing in your room & encourage rooming in now. The LCs were really helpful & were quick to get me a pump to stimulate supply since I was having trouble & upset about supplementing. The hospital was also very accommodating & gave us guest status to stay with our baby the extra night he was under the bililights. They might not be the crunchiest, but it was an excellent experience

LLL event

Thanks for asking about our event, it went very well. The turnout far exceeded our expectations, especially considering the horrible weather. I would guess we had at least 150 including children. It was so nice to see all the like-minded mamma's in one place. Another exciting part was when the Mayor read the proclamation that declared May 9 La Leche League Day. He said quite a bit about how breastfeeding is the best for moms and babies, how it needs to be supported, ect... It felt like a historical moment.

Congradulations on your new little one. Enjoy!

[cognito]

I'm glad to hear that it went so well. I would have really loved to be able to attend a family friendly event like that. We do everything as a family so it would have been great. We haven't been able to get out as much lately. Hopefully it will be an annual thing & we can make it next year.

[kriket]

Cognito is back!!

Man, I have been so wanting to spoil your news about the new babe!! I held it in tho! He's so cute and I am sooo happy for you that you got the BFing down I could see that you were stressed over that with Big Midget.

[cognito]

Hey Kriket!
I'm sure enjoying my time off, but I do miss the silliness at the office. How's office life treating you? We decided on nicknames for the boys. Their official nicknames are Mighty Midget & Mini Midget for right now. Milo is doing better with Jareth, but I still don't think he knows what to make of his little brother. Jareth is already over 7lbs so the BFing is definitely on track. I'm loving that sling I bought. I've used it grocery shopping twice now. I haven't tried it for NIP yet since we only make short trips & I'm still a little dependent on my nest of pillows to get comfy. I think it will work once he's a little bigger & less squiggly. Well there isn't much more of an update. You'll probably see me here a little more. My other site is having issues. I might get on messenger sometimes too. If Scott gets too fluttery, then remember there's always that back up plan.

[kriket]

Yes, scott sized water heater....

She is doing great since I am dairy free. Unfortunately Aidan left a gogurt wrapper laying around and she found it...her poor face, chest and hands were nasty looking for a bit.

Need ideas on where to look for the as needed child care provider. I need child care as needed, and it will probably be a lot this summer as I am trying to get back into working a lot.

The boys will be in camp 1/2 days for about 5 weeks, and then there is the little girl.

Anyone have recommendations. I would prefer someone close to downtown so there is not a lot of driving.

?'s

Hi all!

We are coming to visit my in-laws in a couple of days and I wanted to ask you a couple of practical questions...

1) WHere can I get seventh gen diapers (or the like)? I am thinking Dorthy Lane?

2) Is there a second hand place where I could send my in-laws to look for a booster seat? Our hook-on-the-table one dosn't fit with their table.

THey live in Kettering. Thanks much for your help!
