Avatar f tn I did have an intraductal papiloma right after I finished breast-feeding, on my L breast, and had to have a duct removed...that was quickly followed by the first symtoms of IGM in my right breast. Hope some of this info helps.
Avatar f tn Just curious if any of your doctors have mentioned the fact that the use of birth control can be a cause of GM. A lot of women that get GM are post pardum or post breast feeding and can be related to your hormones. I don't want to sound like I am making any judgements on your use of birth control because I am not. Just wonder if it would maybe help your case if you were able to go off of the birth control. Just something to think about and maybe ask your doctor about.
Avatar f tn In 93 I had stopped breast feeding and ended up with mastitis and surgery in left breast. Encountered a post surgical infection tested as strep. in the 12 years following surgery I had 28 procedures to "get the infected tissue out" never ending masses infected with nasty goo smelly nastiness. The site would rupture any where from a few tablespoons to 1/2 cup of gross. All the while nothing changed it or made it better. 2005 it just stopped. OVERJOYED!!!!.
Avatar f tn Amy, I was thinking about one other thing with you tapering down prednisone and getting the infection in the other breast. When I weaned off prednisone, my breast got much worse for 3-4 weeks, it started leaking like crazy and this big, gaping area (I guess the size of a half-dollar) opened up and just would not heal for a while (sorry if this is graphic). And from the big area a lot of fluid leaked. But I kept decreasing my dose, and then slowly I started healing.
Avatar n tn Zyrtec is not harmful to the unborn baby if you are pregnant, but should not be used if you are breast feeding as the drug passes through breast milk. Consult a dermatologist for further assistance on this. Best.
Avatar f tn Thanks alot ladies I did take a test and I'm not, I am definitely using confirms and working in getting birth control me and my husband don't want anymore babies right now..
408496 tn?1269603350 Okay - Who is breast feeding and who is bottle feeding? I think I am going to breast feed for a few months (have to go back to work after 8 weeks) and then I might pump for 1 month at work, then gradually make the switch to formula. My sister breast-fed her little one until she was one. She did not pump - she just sumplemented with formula while she was working, which is an option too.
Avatar f tn Yes exactly what she said.
8489354 tn?1405627762 Any tips for both breast feeding and bottle feeding your baby? I've heard some babies don't do well with switching back and forth. Any suggestions on easing the transition of back and forth?
Avatar f tn Ok I plan on breast feeding and am taking my pump to the hospital to pump while I'm there to help with labor but also so my boyfriend can feed him too has anyone breast and bottle fed successfully I plan on going back to work as soon as my paid maternity leave is up as well soi won't be able to strictly breast feed I'll be pumping and bottle feeding then but I want my boyfriend to have that bonding time with our son before then
Avatar f tn Breast feeding is better both for you and the baby. Also formula is expensive and babies from my personal experiences tend to be crankier and cry more. Everyone has their own perferences. Try it out and if it dont work for you then it didnt work.
Avatar f tn I would recommend strictly breast feeding, it's the best thing for your baby. I was only able to breast feed my daughter for 3 months before I dried up, if I hadn't I would still be breast feeding and she's 8 months now.
Avatar f tn t cross into breast milk and are completely safe to take while breast feeding. Just make sure the doctor knows you're breast feeding so they can give you the correct one.
Avatar m tn Interesting question - why do you ask? I got steroid induced psychosis in 2003 when dx with breast cancer. I was in a flare with Crohn's and on 25 mg a day of prednisone. I had been on steroids for 30+ yrs at the time and never had psychosis before. It was the most frightening time of my life and I was suicidal. I didn't get anti-psychotic drugs, but should have done. My gastro said he will never prescribe steroids for me again, as it could reoccur. I am now on methotrexate, 12.
Avatar f tn I planned on breast feeding, but I did buy a sterilizer and bottles anyway (will need them eventually) and I couldn't breastfeed so im thankful for having tjem already, my other half had to run out and get formula after a few days of trying. So much easier when everything already done. And I had my bottles already clean just in case.
Avatar f tn First, congratulations on breast feeding! Pumping is definitely a chore and you're to be commended for doing it exclusively. As for pregnancy, the hormone produced by breast feeding shuts off your period. As long as you don't have a period you're safe. Pumping should work as well in that regard as regular breast feeding deos. Whenever you stop pumping or slow down considerably, that's when you should start using protection again.
2075737 tn?1379447682 I am planning on breast feeding I just have not decided if I am going to pump all the time and use the milk in a bottle or do both breast and bottle(with breast milk) I work at a hotel and sometimes we work 9 10 hours at a time. But I am going to make it work.
Avatar f tn s capacity. sucking helps to stimulate more milk production. exclusive breast feeding( breast milk ONLY) can also be considered as family planning though (but only for less than 6 mos.
Avatar f tn I could be wrong....but if I remember correctly I read somewhere that the thc could be transferred through the breast milk and that you shouldn't smoke weed while breast feeding!!!! I was curious about it cause I wanted to smoke with my bf after baby got here...I'm going to breast feed as we'll but since I read that I will just wait til I'm done breast feeding.
5793136 tn?1375294504 From what I've read things like alcohol and nicotine and medicine etc all pass through breast milk.. do you'd probably want to either not smoke or formula feed. But I'd definitely do some research or ask your doctor. I was unable to breast feed my son six years ago so I'm just going off things I have read since then.
9442948 tn?1406816451 Is it the same thing? Either way baby is getting breast milk right? I want to pump so my husband can feed baby also but i want the benefits from breast feeding also, For example will pumping still shrink my uterus size & help lose weight like breast feeding does? And will baby still get the vitamins from it?
