Night Nursing And Epilepsy!!! Posted: 08-31-04 11:33am
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.
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.
Tnx and have a lots of lovely pregnant
kisses from croatia!
melrose.

Welcome to the forum, and just to let you
know your english is very understandable.
I am not a mom yet, but there are a couple
of things I thought of.
One i've heard is that some moms will take
their baby to bed with them so during the
night when they have to feed they only
wake up a little bit, instead of getting
up, getting the baby, feeding, putting the
baby back down.
And what you could also do is pump your
breast milk so your husband is feeding
your milk, instead of commercial formula,
that will be easier for your baby, instead
of switching back and forth. And I think
there are some bottle nipples that are
made like the breast nipple which may also
help.
Best wishes to you

Also if you plan to nurse and to use a
bottle right from the beginning there
should not be any nipple confusion. Good
luck with whatever you choose.

Tnx, silverlou!
I was thinking already about pumping and I
have an option for a great bottle(?!) I
hope. I am wonderig what will happen with
my brests if I dont nurse my baby from
let's say 11, 11 30 pm and 5, 6 am? If I
feed him at 11 pm and then pump a dose for
the night, my husband feed him at lets say
3 and then I feed him at 5, 6 am. Is it
to long?Will that way of nursing decrease
my milk (because you have milk as much as
you nurse)?
I hope this page is not end of the world!
Please, moms with experience, you are my
last hope.M.
