Night Nursing And Epilepsy! Posted: 09-01-04 11:13am
Dear ladies, dear moms!
I am totaly new member here and I came
from croatia, so sorry for my broken
english. Well, I am pregnant and I am in
a 6. Month of pregnancy. I fight with my
fears for my baby (cause of taking pills)
and belive in god so much, so I hope
everithing is gona be o.K. I have
excelent doctors (gin+ neurol) and I am
under medicin control all the time. I
lost a baby 2 times befor and I want to do
the best for this god's gift.
Well, this is a subject of my fear and
occupations. I am very scared about night
nursing, couse every of you who have this
evil illness knows what kind of victims
does it take! So, if I wouldn't sleep
during nights and nights it wont be good
for my helth andfinaly for my baby, so I
want to find some combinations with
nursing (i hope you ca understand what I
want to say). Here is my plan: I would
like to nurse all the day and for the
night my husband will make to our beby boy
a bottle with industry milk and feed him,
so I can sleep a little. Will that way of
nursing decrease amount of my milk?
I wanted to talk on croatia's forum with
other epileptic moms about this problem,
but anyone didn't respond. Can you belive
that?! This is very delicate theme in my
country.
Please, is here some mom who can help me
how to nurse my baby and who passed
trought the same situation and dilemas.
Just to notice, in croatia moms hate
feeding newborn babyes with bottle, couse
they think it would confuse the baby (2
kind of nipples) and they belive just good
moms nurse their babys. Can you please
help me with advieces. I don't want to
feel guilty any more. I am so happy that
I find this forum and I hope you will
answer. If you have an idea where can I
put this topic, let me know.
Tnx and have a lots of lovely pregnant
kisses from croatia! Melrose.

I would think that would be fine. Here,
they persuade mothers to stick to either
breast or bottle feeding, especially when
the baby is very young, but I have seen
women switch back and forth successfully.
And especially if you are only using a
bottle at night, he will learn that if its
nighttime, he'll get a bottle, and
daytime, a breast. As far as your milk
goes, my suggestion would be to express -
to milk yourself and store your breastmilk
so that your baby gets breastmilk all the
time instead of formula or another type of
milk.

Tnx. So, you don't think it's to long
from 11 or 12 pm to 5 am without nursing,
cause as I know brests produce the most
milk during the night, so at first weeks
your brain can get a wrong information.
Yes, you are right if I will be so happy
to have enough milk for my boy, I will
pump (is that a wright word?!) during the
day and latley at night. I still want to
hear moms with that special problem.
