Breast Milk

[Guest guest]

Sat Nam,

On the subject of breast feeding - first I would contact the

lactation specialist of the hospital where the child was born/ or if

birthed at home with a midwife contact La Leche Legue.Don't be shy -

these people are there to give advice!

 

Mothers' milk IS Ambrosia, Nectar - all the things that we as adults

are searching for later in life. It is of utmost importance that the

mother get help ASAP in nursing. In this society where young women

are not exposed to their own mothers nursing younger sibs, nor other

women nursing openly - how can this gift from God and womanly art be

passed on to the new generation? Call in a specialist ASAP!Get

support from other women who have nursed/ are nursing.

 

Are the diapers wet? One never knows how MUCH milk one has; but if

the diapers have any sort of liquid being passed into them with

regularity, and the infant seems sated I would not worry.

 

I found that drinking Jasmine flower tea made my breasts practically

burst with milk the next day. It's worth a try for your daughter.

 

I nursed 3 babies each for one year each, without giving them so

much as a drink of water nor a single cherrio. I could not have done

so w/o the help of the hospital lactation specialist, the support of

my mother, example of my nursing sister, etc. The babies were above

average weight, average height, bright and to this day in their 20's

remain very loving and close.

 

I applaud the grandmother who wrote for advice, get as much as you

can; hopefully every baby on Earth can be breastfed.

With love,Niminy Cricket
