Why Breast Milk?
Breast Milk is full of anti-biotics formula doesn't have.
It's super food for your baby! It will make you drop your weight faster
than Charlie Sheen drops his girlfriends! It feels great - after they take
that first bite out of the apple! OWWWW! and then it's really a blissful
state. It's portable milk you never have to heat up and when else in your life
will you be able to say, "I'm dinner!" It's relaxing and great fun to do
while taking a bath with your baby. It's good for the environment and good for
you. If you live in Los Angeles - think of it as saving money on food and
getting a free boob job all at the same time! You go from an A cup to a D
cup and you stay that way for as long as you breast feed. Just think about it
... Big busty Boobies without having to go under the knife! Yippie!
And it's more fun than you can imagine when you realize you are a walking milk
fountain. Get a couple of mother's together and while the men have a
pissing contest, you can having a milking contest - see who can spray the
farthest! My record is five feet.
Healthy Diet for Nursing Mothers -
Start off eating carbs ...WHAT DID SHE SAY??????????
That's right! If you try and loose weight right after you give birth by
going lowfat - your body will think you are starving and so it will tell your
body to STORE FAT! STORE FAT! So give your body some healthy carbs - a
bowl of pasta - and your body will say - Carbs? Oh Yeah! BURN FAT!
BURN FAT! AND GIVE IT TO THE BABY! And then miraculously out of your
breasts will fly 500 calories a day. Yes, it's a true fact, ladies. Breast
feeding will help you burn that fat right off your tooch - but you have to help
them out a little with a healthy diet. SOOOOOO ... eat nuts, fruits, light
veggies - spinach, carrots, baby greens, arugula, potatoes ... stay away from,
asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower and artichokes, heavy garlic, beans and heavily
spiced food. They give the baby gas and they can make them quite upset
sometimes.
Fruits are great, and especially in smoothies with protein powder. This is a
great time to go visit JAMBA JUICE and make it your best friend. Be sure
to take your calcium and continue your pre-natal vitamins. I don't recommend
taking the doctor prescribed prenatal vitamins. They are too strong and toxic.
The one's at whole foods and the one's sold at Trader Joe's are much better in
my opinion and they don't make you as nauseated. As with any prenatal vitamin
though - make sure you take them AFTER you have eaten something!
Donating to the Milk Bank
If you happen to have a heavy let down - this doesn't mean
that you get your feelings hurt easily or that you get screwed over frequently.
It means that you have sooooo much milk in your breasts that the milk comes out
soooo fast it nearly drowns your child. If your baby is coughing a lot
when you feed him/her or is gagging or choking - or spitting up a lot - you
probably have a heavy let down. In this case - the good news is you have a lot
of milk! What to do???? Start pumping, save up and give it to the
milk bank. They need your extra milk! They give it to premature babies and it
really does help save their lives! I bet you never thought you could be a
super hero with your breasts! Just think of yourself as Breast Woman! And
call the Milk Bank today to get an application and become a donor.
(408) 998-4550
751 S Bascom Ave, San Jose, CA
Don't worry - You don't have to go to San Jose They actually come
to your house and pick up your milk - Even in Los Angeles!

Breasts
So you're going to breast feed?
Here's what you'll need besides your
nipple to get started:
You'll need a breast pump. Get the Advent
Silicon Hand Pump. It's even better than the $300.00 Medula electric - which
by the way sounds like its saying "Ash hole" when you turn it on.
You'll need Cabbage
close by because this will cure you if your breasts get engorged.
Engorged is when your breasts turn into rocks and it hurts a lot! Cabbage works
to soften them back up. Put a couple of pieces of cold Cabbage on them knockers and
you will feel better. I used to wear cabbage in my bra. Actually, I am
wearing cabbage right now as I am writing this!
Also - you will need to feed the baby
every hour on the hour if you get engorged. That's how you make the swelling
go down. Get the baby to help out and do some work here!
If you are stranded and
without cabbage then anything from the freezer will do. Just note that if
you put something square on your breasts you may end up with square breasts
for a little while. I did last night and I also found out that a heating pad
placed on my booby and 2 Tylenol really helped me through the night. It's
9:00am and my breasts are soft again! Yippie!
Peace Out, Mommy Nose |
