Hello?  Hello!  Oh there you are.  I bet you guys were wondering if I had just fallen off the face of the Earth.  Nope, still here! I have just been struggling through the chaos and finally got some time to blog.  There, there, sorry I left you alone for so long, but I am here now.
Tina and Raidyn Oldenburg
 So let's start out with a big CoNgRaTuLaTiOnS  going out to Tina Oldenburg!  Whoop! Whoop!  Tina was the August prize winner.  She and Raidyn took home the cooler basket full of goodies and hopefully it will be able to make her outings with her little ones a little more convenient.

If you didn't get in on the August prize basket, don't fret.  September is here and I have another prize basket just waiting to be taken home by some lucky mama.  It's another Boppy Basket filled with a hand pump, Lansinoh cream, receiving blankets, burp cloth, bib, and a few other goodies.  I can't wait to meet you and help you get signed up so stop by the Polk County Health Center today and fill out a drawing ticket.  It's FREE and available to all pregnant and breastfeeding Moms.

 You can also call me, text me, email me or click on the button below to get signed up.  I just need your name, address, phone number, due date and email if you have one.  

 I can't wait to hear from you!

      So I have a question, after giving birth my doctor gave me hydrochlorothiazide which is to help with the swelling that I was still experiencing. I am having issues breast feeding and seem to not have a lot of milk coming out. There is not near enough to feed baby properly. Is there any way that the medicine can be the cause and if so and I stop taking it will my milk production return to normal. I am worried that in order to help with the swelling I may have ruined my chance to breast feed.

      Good questions Laura! Here is what I know....Hydrocholorothiazide or any Thiazide diuretic can potentially reduce milk supply and production by depleting maternal blood volume. Most thiazide diuretics are considered compatible with breastfeeding if doses are kept low (about 25-100mg daily). We find that many meds that are compatible with breastfeeding are not always compatible with making milk. Many times their job is too reduce fluid to reduce swelling and breast milk is a fluid. Before you quit taking the drug, ask your doctor about decreasing the dose and see if he has other suggestions to help with reducing swelling. As for ruining your chance to breastfeed, you are not there yet. It is likely that you will still be able to breastfeed after we have gotten past the swelling issues. You may have to supplement while you are working toward that goal, but if you keep putting baby to the breast, even with a low supply you will have a supply and that is full of the good antibodies and things that baby needs to grow and develop. Keep telling your body you need that milk and it will continue to make it.
