As the previous poster stated, I realize you wrote this post a while ago, but I am wishing I had found it a mere 6 days ago when I was going through the same thing because I would have loved to participate in that study! Not that I hope to be in this situation again, but I will look into it next time if I am! Thanks for sharing your story (and for your amazing nurture baby website that I have recently found and become addicted to!)

Thanks so much for the recommendation!
I checked the company’s web site, and was very pleased to see that they offer variety/gift packs so you can try all of the flavours before purchasing quantity of one or more . Plan to purchase a gift pack for my granddaughter – her daughter is only 3 weeks old but, as we all know, the time will go by quickly.
They regularly make a 10-hours-each-way drive to visit the in-laws, so this type of easy-fix travel food definitely will be helpful at the outset – as will your previous Travelling Tips article!

Also a very sincere thank you for your wonderful web site … I’ve added it to a [short] list of sites I’m putting together for my g-daughter to review, so she’ll be knowledgeable and confident when baby does start eating solid food.
Warm regards
J

I know you posted this a long time ago, but I just want to chime in and say I went through the same experience – a biopsy while nursing – when my baby was four months old. It was a bit traumatic, as my doctor assured me it would not affect breastfeeding, but then I got a fistula anyway! But I was able to continue breastfeeding by just temporarily and partially weaning off that side enough to let the skin heal over. I now participate in the LLL mother-to-mother forums, and the issue occasionally comes up. Sadly, most doctors seem to keep telling women they must wean if they get a fistula, but it’s not true. My experience and the experience of other women on that forum show that you CAN continue to breastfeed through a biopsy. So I just wanted to offer encouragement to anyone stumbling on your blog as they search for this help with this issue. (P.S. I’m still nursing my two-year-old!)

I know this was posted a while ago, but I thought I’d share my experience. I went through EXACTLY the same thing, almost to the letter. My left breast was swollen, misshapen, painful and my daughter wouldn’t nurse on that side. I didn’t have a fever and I felt fine otherwise. I had ultrasounds, mammograms and was eventually told that I needed surgery to remove the lump, even though no one could tell me what it was. In my case it turned out to be a staph infection in my breast. I was on antibiotics for about 3 weeks and every week I went to a surgeon who used a needle to drain the pus from my breast. It sounds a lot more painful than it really was and the draining helped the antibiotics circulate to the infected areas. Everything cleared up pretty quickly and my daughter – who will be 1 this week – nurses happily on both sides.

Thank you for this wonderful website. I love it, and have truly enjoyed using it.
This comment does not relate to your post–I’m sorry! I can’t find any where else to ask questions. . . maybe due to mommy brain.
1. In the Creamy Chicken Florentine recipe, how much spinach is in a 1/2 package frozen organic spinach?
2. It would be helpful to have a search feature on your blog, if possible.
Thank you again for your wonderful (and generous) website. My daughter loves the food I have made from your recipes.

Thank you for reviewing an alternative for homemade baby food! I’m a new mom and my daughter is 6 months old. We just started feeding solids this month and with a long trip coming up I’ve been wondering what to do. So this review and the last post on traveling with baby food are excellent advice

Comment on Food Sensitivities and Autism Spectrum Disorders: Is There a Link? by Laurie

Laurie — Tue, 18 Jan 2011 04:06:55 +0000

“Scientists have discovered that many of the children suffering from an autistic spectrum disorder have problems with the digestion and absorption of certain foods. ”

I’m wondering if you could add the link to that discovery so that I can read the whole paper/research for myself. Thanks.
