This little one will be getting frozen milk when I quit pumping. I don't see an end in sight, so she may be over 1 and getting frozen milk!
Avatar m tn Usually, even if the liquid is colored yellow, greenish, gray, or brown instead of being purely clear or white, the liquid is “actually milk” that can be of any consistency that has been made by the breast. Breast discharge can be caused by a wide range of disorders,most are not worrisome, but if you are having this problem,I would suggest seeing your doctor and ask for some type of tests,particularly if the discharge is unilateral.

Avatar f tn If you exclusively breast feed though you need to give baby a Vit D supplement since Vit D is not passed through breast milk. Also however long you want to do it is all up to you. Once you start its not like you get locked into a breastfeeding contract. The choice is all yours.

Avatar f tn In February of 2012 she was complaining of upper back pain. She would take aleve and I even bought her Salon Pas thinking maybe it was muscular. Over the next few months I seen her get weeker and weeker. She would spend a lot of time in bed. She let her hair and hygeine go and said it was because her back hurt. She refused to go to the doctor for these symptoms. Finally my dad and I demanded that she go to the ER or else we would call EMS and make her go. She finally said she would go.

Avatar n tn Hello and hope you are doing well. The left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) is the main artery supplying the heart muscle. It depends on where the stenosis is, whether proximal or distal. If max medical therapy fails then interventions like Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) or coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) are planned based on the extent of block and other risk factors. Please discuss this with your doctor. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
