Happy Birthday Lil’ B! You’ll always be my little baby!

Remember how we said goodnight when she turned two?  We officially gave up the boob (breastfeeding)!  She never looked back but she does still remember that milk came from mommies boobies.  She’ll be happy to tell you all about it if you ask her.

OK – I’m going to go shed a few tears as I look through more photos.  Oh, and I have a big surprise celebration for you in the morning!  You are following me on Facebook, right?

It’s almost been one month since I weaned my little princess – hard to believe that I will never again breastfeed another baby!  As an update to our weaning story the tot will still ask for milk but only when she’s really tired or frustrated.  She’s now exploring and will pinch and grab my boobs just for fun.  I never really experienced any pain this time around drying up.  It was much easier physically to wean slowly over the last year because I had no engorgement at all this time.  I just remember how painful that was with my son when we stopped with little preparation.

Fortunately I get to continue to advocate to my friends the benefits of breastfeeding and that you as a parent can set your own limits and guidelines.

A few months ago I was introduced to a new product on the market – bamboobies™ reusable bamboo breastfeeding pads.  It was past the time when I would actually need to use them personally but I shared them with a few of my breastfeeding friends locally to get their opinions.  Both ladies just had their 3rd babies late last year and are experts by now with breastfeeding.  Both ladies are cows when it comes to production – seriously they have both explained to me that they could probably sell their milk they produce so much of it.  They were perfect test mommies for the bamboobies™.

About bamboobies™:

They make 2 varieties – the regular and the overnight version.  bamboobies™ are made with eco-friendly, all natural, untreated, certified organic bamboo, cotton and hemp.  The pads are handmade right here in the US (Colorado).  The regular bamboobies™ are ideal for the period after your milk has arrived when only minor leaking occurs.  They are ultra thin, heart shaped, and have a water-proof backing.  The unique heart shape allows the pads to fit nicely into your bra with minimal wrinkling and less visibility.

The overnight bamboobies™ are bigger and softer – perfect for those first few weeks when your milk is coming in the heaviest.  They are great for overnight and early morning leaking.  The overnight bamboobies™ aren’t lined with the water-proof backing so you could easily use the two together to create an ultra absorbent milk barrier for the heaviest of milk flow.

Notes from my test mommies:

Mommy J: “bamboobies™ are really soft and wash well.  The overnight should dry flat to keep their shape but I typically dry the regular ones in the drier.  I used them with a thinly padded bra and they didn’t show at all.”  She also told me that the heart shape was great for fitting different types of bras since they could be rotated for even those deep plunging bras.

Mommy T: “I’m such a cow!  I used the overnights and I still leaked.”  However after Mommy J suggested using them both together Mommy T had better success with them.

GIVEAWAY! The bamboobies™ team has offered one lucky The Eco Chic reader one $16.99 gift certificate valid at www.buybamboobies.com.  That’s enough to buy one set of bamboobies™ or get a discount if you want to buy a mulit-pack.  ECO-NGRATULATIONS ANNE!

When I weaned our son we had been planning an anniversary trip out of town for a long weekend and I had slowly weaned him over a week (hardly enough time to do it right) and then we went cold turkey!  What I learned that weekend was a very painful lesson – weaning hurts.  Over the next two to three days my breasts were very engorged and painful as the milk dried up.  Fortunately it wasn’t an emotionally painful experience for either of us.  At one he couldn’t really communicate well and couldn’t verbalize his desire.  He quickly took to his sippy cup (which we had already introduced) and we never looked back.

I guess one (of the many) reasons I held off on weaning my daughter was because I remember how painful the weaning process was.  With her we’ve been working on weaning the right way for over a year.  We slowly reduced the frequency of feedings over the year and she usually only asked for it once a day.  For at least a month she’s only been nursing once a day for 10-15 minutes (sometimes only 5 minutes) at a time.  It all depended on the day and our schedules.  Some days we would skip completely because we were so busy and she didn’t seem to mind.  Other days she would ask repeatedly for more – at lunchtime, at nap time, at snack time, and bedtime. 

It’s now been one week since we said bye-bye to the boobie and we’re doing really good.  She still asks for milk about once a day but doesn’t kick and scream like she did earlier in the week.  That only happened one day but it involved hitting mommy and lots of tears.  She now asks for ‘milk cup’ instead of just ‘milk’ and I let her pick out the cup she gets.  She’s become incredibly picky with her cups too - just be warned that a tantrum will follow if you give her the wrong cup! 

I’ve tried to avoid our regular morning snuggle in my bed since that’s where we usually nursed and have started spending more time playing with her in her room.  I’ve noticed she’s much more patient and enjoys sitting next to me reading stories more than before.  Last night she woke up around midnight coughing.  I tried to give her cough medicine (Boion Chestal is amazing and homeopathic) but she pitched a fit.  I know what she really wanted but avoided the suggestion of that.  We did have a few tears as I encouraged her to drink her medicine (which she takes no problem from daddy who was sound asleep).  You want to know what calmed her down finally?

Moving back to our bed, propping ourselves up (to allow for proper drainage), and letting her lay her head on my bare tummy.  She still found the skin-to-skin calming and was back to sleep in about 2 minutes.  Not once did she try to sneak a sip – she just wanted to snuggle.  That was around midnight and she slept soundly until about 3 am when she woke up serenading us to her favorite melody…

“mommy, daddy, puppy, bryce, mommy, daddy, puppy, bryce” sung sweetly and as loud as she could!  Thankfully she went back to sleep after a few more minutes of signing back in her crib.  As for me – after 7 days I’m finally starting to feel some pain physically.  It’s not nearly as painful as it was with my son but I think I may be entering a few uncomfortable days.  We’ll see.

This morning when we woke up I didn’t say anything to her about milk or boobies.  She asked me once while I was changing her diaper about the milk and I told her that I would be happy to pour her a big girl cup of milk if she liked.  She said “OK” and that was the last she asked about milk today.

It’s been quite an emotional week with all the changes with day care and her birthday but I feel so much better that she didn’t this change didn’t upset her.  We’ve gone a few days without breastfeeding before so I know we’re not officially through the weaning process but I’m going to stay strong and stick with my decision. 

Why did I choose to wean at two?  I never thought I would make it past 14-16 months.  At one point I even remember saying that extended breastfeeding was ‘weird’ and only ‘those’ moms do that.  With all the support in the breastfeeding community online I realized that extended breastfeeding is very common, healthy for both the parent and child, and recommended by doctors.  What I never really gained was acceptance from those closest to me.  My family and friends never fully understood my desire to continue the breastfeeding past the first year or so.  For at least the last six months our breastfeeding sessions were much more private and only at home.  We’ve only been feeding once a day (normally) for the last few months so it’s easy to keep that private.  Even with my husband there were many days where he would express his disapproval and lack of understanding.  I decided it wasn’t anyone else’s decision other than my own and I didn’t have to explain my reasons to anyone.  I stopped fighting and continued to do what was best for both me and my baby.

I love my husband and my family and I respect that they don’t understand my desire to continue this long.  My love for my husband is what made me decide to stop at two.  With two kids there are so many ways that life comes between us and this was just one more thing that kept tugging at our relationship.  My daughter is beyond blessed to have had the opportunity to breastfeed for two whole years.  Most children in America don’t make it past 4-6 months and we made it to 2 YEARS!  That to me is a success and something that I can be proud of. 

Would I have continued if I had the continued support of my family and friends?  Maybe – maybe not.  At some point I would have to wean her.  She’s growing up and she’s no longer a little baby.  The value added at this point was purely comfort for both of us at this time.  If she was having a bad day it was one way that I could always comfort her.  I’m sure she was still getting some nutritional benefit and we may never know how much.  She’s been an incredibly healthy baby and rarely gets sick so I’m blessed knowing that I could have helped with that.  For me I’ve managed to return to my pre-pregnancy weight and maintain that weight with very little effort.  Yes, I’m slightly worried about what will happen to my weight know but that’s no reason to continue breastfeeding. 

We will find other ways to bond with one another and I’ll be able to share that with my husband as well.  What ways have you continued to bond after weaning?  How long did it take your toddler or child to stop asking for milk?  How did you respond to those closest to you when they were less than supportive?

I decided to start posting information on a few other community blogs to gain some additional exposure and hopefully reach some mom’s that don’t regularly visit us over here at The Eco Chic.  Today I found myself on BlogHer.com where I wrote more about My Extended Breastfeeding Journey.  Go visit me on BlogHer and leave a comment if you want to share your story with me. 

Then last Friday I got an email from the producers of Mom Talk Radio asking if I was available to fill in for a cancellation they had with Maria Bailey during the weekly Mom’s Roundtable discussion.  I was intrigued so I said YES!  After rushing Lil’ B off to the pediatricians office early that morning (turned out she got stung and never told me – swelled up all nasty like!) I returned and talked with Maria and MaryBeth Whalen about Halloween.  I know it’s not a very eco-conversation but I did talk about composting Halloween candy at the very end of our segment.  The entire podcast is about an hour but my portion is only about 10 minutes.  I’m about 2/3 of the way through the program.  I actually enjoyed listening to the rest of Maria’s program today and look forward to participating again soon.  Go listen and tell me what you think. 

Where would you like to see me next?  What are your favorite community blogs?

After I posted

I am a 32 year old mother of 4 beautiful children.  I started having babies quite young – I was 20 when my first son was born.  He was born via ‘emergency’ c-section, which I now believe to be a ‘let’s get her out of here’ c-section.  I was in labour for over 24 hours, opted for the epidural and was exhausted.  I had absolutely no energy to push out a fart let alone an 8 lb. baby.  He was healthy and perfectly fine.  I chose to breastfeed, but had no support.  A first time mother needs support with breastfeeding.  My mother (who we lived with at the time) was completely against breastfeeding.  I was a first generation Canadian, and to her, breastfeeding would have me “stuck to the baby at all times” and I “wouldn’t be able to do anything” (her unforgettable words).  The baby came down with a case of slight jaundice and I was instructed by the doctor to refrain from breastfeeding for a few days and feed the baby pedialyte.  I didn’t know what that was – and my mother, in her ‘I told you so’ voice, said “it’s formula”.  So I listened to her.  My initial plan was to go back to breastfeeding in a few days.  But with the ‘ease’ of formula feeding and difficulty of expressing milk with a hand pump, the initial plan never happened.  At the time, I never really thought about it.  I was young and naive.  Now, I am heartbroken over the time that my first child and I ‘lost’.  Sometimes, I inwardly get upset with my mother – but I know that she had good intentions.  It was what she knew.  Her family came to Canada for ‘freedom’ and ‘independence’ – and the bombardment of formula advertisements in the 70′s fed the immigrant’s ideology of that freedom.  So, we live and we learn.  Life moves on.

In 2002 (four years later), I gave birth to my second son via a ‘planned’ c-section.  There was “absolutely no way I could deliver a 10 lb. baby after seeing what happened the first time”.  Don’t get me wrong, though.  My female OB told me that I was MORE than welcome to attempt a natural birth a.k.a. VBAC.  She also followed up that speech with a handout that explained the ‘risks’ of a vaginal birth after c-section, which is pretty much summed up like this: ‘you could try, but if you do, you could tear your uterus which would result in us having to remove your uterus, which would mean no more babies for you, OR your baby could die, OR you could die’.  Ummm… where do I sign for a scheduled c-section?  Anyway, he was born and after a day old, he was brought to Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto.  He had a ‘meconium pseudocyst’ that resulted in him needing surgery.  Meconium leaked from a perforation in his intestines and caused serious infection in his abdomen.  =(  He was given an ileostomy, and for the first 9 months of his life, he wore a stoma bag.

This time, regardless of the obstacles that we were faced with, I was determined to breastfeed.  The staff at Sick Kids were amazing in a sense that they let me know about the electric breast pumps that were available in the hospital.  Even though baby wasn’t taking food by mouth, I was able to borrow these amazing pumps (that are FAR from the manual pumps) that kept my milk supply up to speed.  We also were building quite a supply for when he was able to start taking food by mouth.  We were also able to borrow pumps when we went home – to return when we went back in the morning.  At this point, we had our own apartment so, all of this ‘alternative’ style of living was not subject to any judging.  When the baby could finally feed, it was beautiful.  We had absolutely no problems at all.  Despite him not suckling for almost a month, he was a pro… and so was I.  This was the beginning of a beautiful journey.

He nursed… and nursed… and nursed.  He loved ‘bubbahs’!  LOL!  By the time he was two years old, I had the urge to wean.  I was getting frustrated and at times annoyed.  I learned that it was a natural feeling when it is time to wean.  He had such a difficult time with it – and I felt horrible and so guilty for feeling the way I did.  I got pregnant again – and we nursed through the entire pregnancy.  I refused to have another c-section, so searched all over the city for a midwife.  A few midwives turned me down because of my history, but with some research, I found someone who supported VBACs and actually had 2 VBACs herself!  Everything went perfectly.  My daughter was born at home in a birthing pool and she too, nursed like a pro.  I tandem nursed for a few weeks and then had to explain to my 2 year old that he was a big boy now.  It was such a bittersweet time.

My daughter nursed… and nursed… and nursed.  By the time she was two years old, I was ready to have my fourth child.  He was also born at home in water and nursed like a pro.  =)  He nursed… and nursed… and nursed.  My daughter shared ‘bubbies’ with the baby for a few weeks until it was time for her to be a ‘big girl’.  ’Bubbies’ (which was previously ‘Bubbahs’) then became ‘Mummies’.  The baby nursed until he was three years and seven months old.  Just so happens that my husband and I had an opportunity to go to Cuba soon after.  We had never been on vacation – EVER… because we were “stuck” to the babies.  I had been nursing for over eight years STRAIGHT!  Wow.  Even just typing it gives me chills.  I am proud of my choices.  People thought I was crazy – especially when I was nursing through pregnancy.  But that was my choice – and it felt like the right thing for me to do.  In all honesty, I was unsure about how the milk production process would work – but the human body is amazing!  I produced regular milk right up until the babies were born.  Then it changed to the colostrum-y milk that newborns need… and apparently ‘tastes different’ (lol) to toddlers.

I should also add that we are co-sleepers.  =)  Every single one of my children slept with us in our bed since birth.  We had cribs every time (except for the last baby, when we admitted to ourselves we weren’t going to use it), but the babies would sleep with us.  We went from a queen bed on a frame… to a queen mattress on the floor… to a queen mattress and a twin mattress on the floor… to a king mattress and a queen mattress on the floor.  LOL… We also practice alternative health/medicine, eating and living.

Anyway, back to the story at hand: the trip to Cuba was significant.  I never thought about it at the time, but it marked a new stage of my life.  I had never been on vacation before and I had given so much of myself (unquestioningly) to my children.  I went away and came back to a new me… and a new us.  I thought I would be mortified when I was through with nursing – but I haven’t even shed a tear.  I get a a little sad… but it’s more like a melancholy happiness – if that makes sense.  We are just at another stage of our journey together, and those memories – of birthing and nursing babies… living life together… is what matters.  I wouldn’t change anything at all.

…………

Phew!  That was a mouthful!  Hope you’re still awake!  lol… It was great typing it out like this.  I have never done it, and it made me remember the wonderful times my family had together.  Thank you for that opportunity.

Take care,
Nerissa

Let me get straight to the point. I didn’t breastfeed my little girl.

My giant leap into mommy-hood was a surprise. Health issues led me to believe a child was not possible. That’s not to say I couldn’t GET pregnant but that a pregnancy would never develop full term.

I have diabetes and I’m very holistic in nature. I am a vegetarian and I try to eat a lot of organic, fresh food. I take only the most necessary medication after researching side effects and other potential risks. I prefer remedies that come from the Earth that cannot be patented because they are natural. But breastfeeding didn’t feel right to me — it didn’t seem natural.

The Eco Chic tells me all of the time the benefits nursing. I KNOW she believes it to be the best thing for her own daughter… so much so that she did something (and to this day, I’m not sure what) when she forgot her pump on a weekend trip.

Millions of websites encourage moms-to-be to breastfeed with facts and statistics but not once did my doctor or one of his nurses, anyone at the hospital baby classes, my friends, my family or my coworkers ever encourage me. I remember I googled it a few times during the last trimester of my pregnancy and saw that due to my circumstances, it wasn’t “safe.”

I want to say a few things about breastfeeding that I have learned—mostly from The Eco Chic but also in reading forums with literally “on line fighting” between adult women. After this blog is published, I will never talk about it again.

1. It is a deeply personal choice to breastfeed and nobody especially another mother should EVER make a mother feel bad about her decision to breastfeed… or not. It is a choice and not a requirement to be considered a good mother.

2. Breastfeeding does not make your child smarter of healthier in the long term. Yes, it provides great nutrition but my daughter is very smart. She speaks two languages, she’s in second grade math and she is only six years old, (brag much?) She is rarely sick and thank God not suffering from any chronic conditions. Your child may have the exact same aptitude and was breastfeed. Formula did not make my child dumb and breastfeeding did not make yours a super-genius.

3. I believe education is key. I got my “medical degree” from Web MD and quickly decided that due to being diabetic – breastfeeding was an automatic no-no. The truth is that nobody clinically educated ever approached me and discussed this as an option or encouraged me at all.

I knew this blog would be hard for me to write since The Eco Chic is my best friend and is passionate about this issue (as are most of her readers). I am not suggesting that my opinion is right… I just wanted to express how someone who did not breastfeed sees things.

We can all learn something from … The Other Side.  – Mama M

Thank you Mama M for sharing with us today.  I would like to add that for most of us our experience with doctor’s and nurses is quite similar to Mama M’s.  Neither my doctor’s or nurses encouraged (or discouraged) me from breastfeeding or formula feeding.  There was a lack of education in this area in all aspects of my pre-natal care.  I vaguely remember my doctor asking if I was planning on breastfeeding and it was one of the questions they asked at the hospital during pre-registration.  But at no point do I remember any professional telling me that it was the ‘right’ decision for me and my baby.  My personal decision to breastfeed was health related – with claims of reduced allergies and asthma (both of which I suffer from) I wanted to provide my children with every opportunity to NOT develop these afflictions.  Did it work?  As of now neither of my children show signs of asthma but both have allergy related issues from time to time (who doesn’t!).  Why do I continue to breastfeed at 20+ months?  Because she’s my last baby and she (nor I) are ready for weaning.  We do go days where our sessions are very minimal – if at all – but she continues to ask for her ‘muck.’  – The Eco Chic

Many of you may remember the adventures I had while traveling to Miami for a week – without a tot – and without my handy pump!  I had a mommy moment while packing then and left the pump in my closet all alone!  Enter my introduction to hand expression and jokes from my hubby and friends!

There was a question as to whether I should continue to breastfeed when I returned or let her be weened since she had been off mommy milk for a whole week.  Two hours after our reunion she kindly asked for mommy – and I couldn’t say no.

Once again – I will continue to pump while away and I’ll let her decide if it’s time to ween or not.  It seems almost fitting that she would ween this trip because she is now 19 months AND my son weened while the hubs and I were vacationing in NYC over 6 yrs ago (he was 11 months – 3 weeks – and 3 days!).  It would be kinda neat to have NYC be both of their weening times.  But only time will tell – she is quite fond of our time together.

In honor of World Breastfeeding Week I just wanted to share my (continued) story in hopes that I can encourage you or someone you know to keep it up for as long as it is beneficial for you and your child – whatever age that might be.  While the WABA has their own 10 steps for successful breastfeeding I’m going to give you my modified list!

1.  Have faith in yourself, your body, and your baby – the rest will come naturally.

2.  Trust your instincts – and don’t ALWAYS listen to the ‘professionals’ (i.e., your doctors, nurses, friends, and family).  I remember with my son a nurse ordered me to have a mammogram for a cracked nipple and instruct me to quit nursing immediately! I’m SOOOOO glad I didn’t listen to that nurse and trusted my own instincts instead!

3.  If it hurts or doesn’t feel right ask for help – a certified lactation consultant should be available at your local hospital or birthing center.  Reach out and don’t be afraid to ask for help.

4.  The first month is the hardest!  You are emotionally and physically exhausted – don’t be discouraged in the beginning.

5.  There is nothing easier to do than breastfeed your baby!  No bottles to warm up, no formula to buy, nothing to mix, and no water needed!  Oh – and you can’t leave the milk at home if you breastfeed – one less thing to tote in your diaper bag.

6.  There is nothing more nutritious than mommy milk for your baby – it’s the perfect food for every age!

7.  It’s free!  Whether you have lots of money or no money – breastmilk is always free.  Sure you have to continue to eat a healthy diet but we should all do that anyways – regardless of our financial status.

8. It’s better for the environment – nothing is artificially manufactured, packaged, or shipped to get your baby this perfect food – and there’s no waste!

9.  Yes, even daddy and caregivers can participate.  That’s my breastpumps were invented!  And don’t be scared of those either – you’ll get the hang of it.  It’s worth it!

10.  Lastly – because your baby deserves the very best!  And the breast really is the best!

How many days have you breastfeed your baby?  What problems or misconceptions are you dealing with?  Do you know where to go for help?  Let me know – I can point you in the right direction.

PS – I’m a working mom and I have to travel from time to time without my baby.  If I can make it 19 months I have faith you can make it to your own personal goal!
