I know that one of the hormones involved with milk production, prolactin, can affect your fertility, that's the hormone that acts as a contraceptive sometimes when you're bfeeding,but not sure if it works in reverse? ]]> Sat, 29 Sep 2007 21:20:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11003&PID=221321&title=conjunctivitis-is-this-too-weird#221321 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11003&PID=221281&title=conjunctivitis-is-this-too-weird#221281 Author: buzimumto3boys

Ok... so do you think maybe the milk production can be affected by your hormones? Cus I was feeling the other day like I might have milk in there... but havent Bfed Cam since he was 5 months old!! I wondered if it was because I am now on the Jab? - maybe it upset things?

Any thoughts?

This is interesting! Ashleigh had it a couple of weeks ago and my gp, who is very anti antibiotics, prescibed some ointment for her. It did take around a week to clear up.

ETA- Fiona, I stopped breast feeding Isla a month ago. Was down to one feed a day before that. They filled up quite a bit each day for about a week, and I was leaking heaps in the shower especially, and having to express a bit in the shower. After about a week, they were no longer sore at all. I still have milk tho, if I try to express, or during sex

We get constantly when i am holding her "you've got boobies!) either patting them or pulling out my top to look. She does it when we are out (embarrasing!! ) she once did it when we were standing round at FIL's work witha group of guys.. at a break in the conversation she pulled my top open, looked down and said "you've got boobies!"
She did it the other day in kmart, said "you've got boobies" to which i replied with my usual reply these days of "yes i do, isn't that exciting?" she goes "I'll just rub them for you" I promptly told her that no thank-you, they didn't need rubbing. lol

The bm will be fine to put in her eyes. The red patches though, well first I thought it might be excema? Otherwise I wonder if she has a small intolerance to something your eating which doesn't normally show up, and is showing by the eyes because the skin is more sensitive.

Both gremlins have conjunctivitis, Mercedes eyes are clearing up but Sienna has huge red patches round her eyes like a panda and her eyes are just about glued together.
So as I'm still lactating (eek!) I squirted some breastmilk into her eyes last night and again this morning. Will it help? I don't know if the fact that I haven't fed them for months makes a difference to the milk I'm producing but there's still plenty of it (I am a very good cow).
The other icky thing is that when I went to do it last night, Sienna tried to latch on. Ewwwww! It creeped me out, but I was also surprised that she even remembered given that she had her last breastfeed at 11 weeks!]]> Tue, 25 Sep 2007 11:39:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11003&PID=218834&title=conjunctivitis-is-this-too-weird#218834
