Hello, does anyone have extra breast milk they are looking to donate?  I was unable to breastfeed my daughter for very long and we did we receive some donated breast milk, which I am very thankful for, but am all out and now giving formula.  I know breast milk is best and would love to provide that for her.  If you have extra, I would really appreciate it.  I can provide storage bags.  You can also email me directly at heidimarie78@gmail.com.

Thank you!!

-BIG LATCH ON

-AUGUST 6^TH 2011 AT 10:30AM

-VENUE- A. LINDAHL CREATIONS PHOTOGRAPHY STUDIO

On Saturday 6th August 2011 at 10:30am thousands of nursing women and their babies across the United States will gather in their own communities to take part in the Big Latch On, America’s first synchronized nursing event in multiple locations. Our local Big Latch On will take place at A. Lindahl Creations Photography studio located in SE Portland.  Call Amanda, the photographer, to get directions 503-828-8773. Come join us for coffee, muffins and a wonderful opportunity to spend time with other mother's to have a lot of fun.  For the month of August A. Lindahl Creations will promote and support breastfeeding by offering coupons to mom’s with breastfeeding babies.

The first record for a single location was from Berkeley, CA USA in 2002 where 1,130 mothers breastfed simultaneously. The international record for one location is 3,738 mothers held by the Philippines in 2006.  Since then, there have been several coordinated international events and in October 2010, 9,826 nursing mothers were recorded at 325 sites in 16 countries.

The Big Latch On is originally from New Zealand.  It was introduced to Portland, Oregon in 2010 by Joanne Edwards as a celebration for World Breastfeeding Week. During the same week Annie Brown, a La Leche League Leader from Connecticut organized a simultaneous breastfeeding event in her home state. For World Breastfeeding Week 2011, they are working collaboratively and with the support of La Leche League USA to bring the event across the country.

World Breastfeeding Week, August 1-7, is celebrated in 120 countries and marks the signing of the WHO/UNICEF document Innocenti Declaration, which lists the benefits of breastfeeding, plus global and governmental goals. 

Breastfeeding contributes to the normal growth and development of babies, and babies who are not breastfed are at increased risk of infant morbidity and mortality, adult obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and premenopausal breast cancer and ovarian cancer (both mom and baby.) The World Health Organization recommends breastfeeding exclusively for the first six months of a baby's life to optimize these benefits, continuing to breastfeed for 2 years and as long thereafter as is mutually desired by mother and baby.

YES, that's right, i am doing my semi-annual purging of the stuff. this stuff feels like it is swallowing my home, but perhaps you have a place for an item or two (or 10 or 20, who am i to argue?) here you will find tons of new and lightly used toys, baby slings, clothes, furnishings, and other items...

i am constantly updating my craigslist ad and also have a TON of clothes (newborn-5 boy, newborn-10 girl, and teen/ladies/juniors small and medium) and shoes (same size range), and books and toys that i have not individually listed yet. also have a big dresser with a mirror attached and some kitchen appliances/ gadgets that i may be persuaded to sell! also a breast pump, petunia picklebottom diaper bag, little tikes slide and other outdoor items...

please let me know if you're needing anything, listed or not!

I've just given birth and unfortunately cannot supply an adequate amount of milk for my baby. I'm only able to supply 1/4oz per feeding/pumping. I've seen the lactation nurses and am trying many things. My baby has lost more weight than normal so I've had to supplement, using tools at the breast. I also pump, take herbal vitamins and nothing seems to be working. I'm very disappointed and saddened by this, I just don't know what went wrong. It brings me to tears to think that I can't supply for my baby.

I'd like to feed him breastmilk, I dont' want to rely on formula. Are there any moms that could help me out?

Thank you so much,

Hey mamas...Coming home from the hospital with your new little bundle can be a daunting task.  Sleep deprivation, pain and discomfort and lots of breastfeeding questions and/or issues come up.  Let me help sort it all out!  I am a labor and delivery nurse at a high risk hospital here in Portland, as well as a mom of a 1 yr. old and a 3 yr. old.  I would love to help get you started off on the right foot by listening to your questions and concerns and checking out your baby's environment at home and giving you some helpful tips.  We will come up with a written plan for your specific needs regarding sleep, breastfeeding, pain management, mom's emotional support and more, so that you can focus on healing and enjoying your baby.  A warm meal of your choice and email support included.  Check out my website for more information on this, as well as, the other services I provide and email me with any questions.  Thanks, Dena www.babyloveworkshop.com
