I have tryed to stop smoking a number of times, but always end up going back on it, what advice can you keep me to drop the horrible habit and stay stoppedCan someone give me the best advice to giving up smoking?
There really is no one way to quit smoking. .. There are as many methods as there are smokers. ... (exaggerating a bit there). ... I have worked with many people over the years who were attempting to or accomplished quitting smoking. .. Some folks quit by way of prayer. ... Some folks quit by way of acupuncture. .. Some by way of hypnosis. ... Some by way of detoxification through the process of juice fasting to clean the nicotine out of the body for the purpose of alleviating the craving for nicotine. ......... Some folks quit by using a ';Nicotine Replacement Tool';,.. such as Nicorette Gum,... The Patch,.. or the nasal spray. ..... Others quit by having their doctor prescribe them Wellbutrin antidepressant medication to help them thru the struggle of initially abstaining from smoking.
There are many different ways to quit,.. but the most simple of course is to just do it,.. cold turkey. ... This can be very challenging,.... but statistics do show that going cold turkey as opposed to gradually cutting down,.. is the most successful approach. .......... It is important to know that the first 3 to 4 days is the real challenge. That is the period where your body is primarily detoxing from the nicotine and that is when the cravings are strongest. ... If you can make it through those first 3 days without smoking,.. you are likely to succeed at quitting.
There are alot of little things you can do to help yourself through the quitting process. ...
- Drink lots of water. .... this helps to flush the toxins out of your body and helps to alleviate the cravings. If you are experiencing a craving,.. drink a tall glass of water.
- Exercise every day. .. This helps with the detoxing process and also helps to alleviate alot of the tension that comes with the process of quitting. It also helps you to relax and sleep better at night.
- Utilise some form of relaxation practice,.. such as some basic deep breathing exercises,.. and or meditation practice.
- Eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. This helps the body to detox and also helps you to feel better in general.
- Keep yourself busy or occupied and avoid idle time where the cravings can take hold of your thoughts. ... This is especially true durring the first few days of abstaining from smoking.
- There are some toll free telephone support lines available to help individuals who are wanting to quit or in the process of quitting. The operators are professionally trained and from what I have heard from folks who have used some of these support lines,.. they can be very helpful. ... One of the lines available to call is: ... 1-800 QUIT NOW ........ Another is: ... 1 866 END HABIT
- There are also some programs available that have been created by organisations such as The National Cancer Society that you might look into. .. Many hospitals in the states offer some of these programs for a fee. Check with your local hospitals on this.
... The bottom line is,.. quitting such an addiction as smoking is not something that a person either fails or succeeds at. ..... There is no such thing as ';failure';,.. there is only giving up,.. or not giving up. ... If you try to quit and you don't succeed,.... don't stop trying. ... It may take you many attempts before you succeed. Everyone's experience with this is different and for many different reasons. .... Just keep pursuing it. .. You will eventually make it. .......... As Mark Twain once said; ';Quitting smoking is a piece of cake. I've done it a million times.';
..... Don't give up!
Hopefully this information will be of some help to you.Can someone give me the best advice to giving up smoking?
I TIRED MANY TIMES ALSO BUT THE ONLY THING THAT WORKED WAS ''COLD TURKEY'' IT'S BEEN 2 YEARS NOW
DNT SMOKE
Hi, I'm in the same situation. I'm desperate to give up too.
I saw ';This Morning'; the other day %26amp; they had 3 smokers on the programme who'd been given 3 different methods to help them to kick the habit.
Here's the link http://www.itv-thismorning.co.uk/HealthA鈥?/a>
The tablets are called Champix %26amp; I think this is my only solution to giving up for good.
So, I have my appointment at the doctors for next week %26amp; I really hope I can get them.
I am currently taking a tablet called zyban which you get on perscription. I havent been taking it for very long so i don't know how effective it is yet but you are ment to take one tablet per day for a week or so whilst smoking, then after a week stop the ciggies and take two tablets per day for seven weeks. I've heard it can be very effective but you still need the will to stop, give that a try good luck.
Good that you have thought of giving up smoking.I have seen people trying various means including Nicotine chewing gums , nicotine skin patches etc but what really works is your will power.Ultimately It is your will power which will help-strengthen it and hold on to your decision to give up smoking, resist all initial urges to let it go and you can succeed.All the best!
I've just signed up with Tesco pharmacy to stop. I've tried and failed before but the pharmacist is seeing me on Thursday, will do a lung function test and test for carbon monoxide. I then can choose 1 method of help (patches, lozenges, gum etc) which I get for 拢6.50 per week. I go back weekly for 6 weeks and in that time should give up completely. Like weight watchers for smokers really xxxx
Firstly, let me give a short introduction. I'm an ex-smoker, a pack a day guy, and it's only been 2 months since I quit smoking completely and I can't even bear the smell of cigrattes now when I couldn't even go a day without cigrattes in the past. Of course, I had failures too, I probably said a millions times ';this is my last stick'; but I didn't really quit and before I knew it I would have another pack in hand. So how did I succeed? Well read on. This is MY method of quitting:
1) Set a date when you are totally ready to quit (this could be during a phase of time when you are not really stressed up with work or school, proabably during holiday; and if possible choose a date which is memorable, for me I chose to quit on my birthday)
2)Make a list on why you want to quit, it could be because you want to save money, for a better health, breath better, smell better, taste beter? Because your loved ones doesn't like you to smoke. .etc.
3) (this step will look funny, but you'll realise later on during your quit-smoking journey that it definitely works)--%26gt; If you are quitting on the 15th of January, buy a pack of cigrattes on the 14th of
January. Yes, you read it right, BUY A PACK OF CIGRATTES on the 14th of January, and smoke 2 sticks on that day, not more than that. On that night, toss out the packet which
contains 18 sticks out of the window and tell yourself you are a non-smoker and that you don't know how to smoke :-) To toss
that much cigrattes out of the window takes awesome willpower, but it's worth it, because everytime you want to smoke a stick in the future, you'll think about that packet of cigrattes which you tossed out, and you'll be reminded that you are a smoker no more.
4) Did I mention that you have to quit cold turkey? Yes, in order to be successful, quit cold turkey, however my method is not 100% cold turkey as you'll learn later on. Forget about switching to light cigrattes or cutting down on cigrattes, as long as the nicotine is
present in the brain, you'll still be hooked to it. Don't be afraid of the flu,cough, fever and few other physical and mental torture from withdrawal symptoms. It's actually a badge of honour, it
shows that your body is getting rid of all the toxins. First week is definitely a torture, but don't give up, always look back at the list on why you want to quit and remember, these symptoms are TEMPORARY, usually in the mid of 2nd week MOST symptoms will disappear(for me; varies according to individual.But you should be fine by 3rd week) and you'll actually do away with the cravings. Always think ahead. And yes, since you've done away with cigrattes, your appetite will shoot up. Don't be afraid to eat, gaining a few pounds is better than getting toxins and poison into your body. You can always get the pounds off.If you want, stock up on healthy snacks.
5) Earlier on I said that you'll not quit 100% cold turkey right? Well this what I meant, If you go 6 days without smoking, that means, from monday till saturday, then reward yourself with ONE stick on sunday. This is quite contradictory to what I mentioned in step 2, but not many people have the willpower to say that they will not touch a SINGLE cigratte for the rest of their life. So rewarding yourself at the end of the week is actually psychologically beneficial, because you have something to look forward to at the end of the week, and this actually stops you from buying any
cigrattes. As the weeks go buy, you won't need this once a week stick anymore.
6) Exercise. I don't have to mention much here. It's a known fact that exercise improves your mood, and alleviates depression and it actually keeps your mind away from cigrattes and stops cravings. Try to do alot of running, aerobics or anaerobic exercises. You'll realise how much better you can breath, and
this will encourage you to drop smoking.
7) Few last words about cravings. Throughout your journey to quit, you'll always get sudden cravings, it comes suddenly, out of the blue, as the weeks go by it reduces and disappears definitely. But when the cravings come, try to chew on something, or drink a glass of water, or do some push-ups. For me I always drink a glass of fruitjuice or milk. And each craving only lasts about 1-3 minutes and it goes away, take note of that.
Last piece of advice. It's not difficult to quit. It's all about YOU. Tell yourself you are a non-smoker, it's all about the mind. Don't let anybody tell you that you will not achieve your goal. Just tell yourself it's EASY. Yes it is ;-) And tell all your smoker friends that you are a non-smoker, so that you won't end up smoking
with them when you hang out, learn to say no. With that said, all the best! You can do it!

I managed to stop my 40aday habit last November.Call the national stop smoking help line on 0800 2 4483 8 Between 9am and 9pm 7 days a week.They will supply you with all the necessary nicotine replacement for 6weeks at no cost to yourself .I used the patches and a nicotine inhalator after smoking for 35years i am now a non smoker.
Cut your hands off !! just an idea
'Never take another puff.'
thats the whole thing simplified.
Once you get pass the first three days it'll be out of your system. Keep your hands busy and when after you eat do stuff.
Get rid of your ashtray and stop buying cigarettes. Yes you will want it badly and all but keeping yourself busy constantly will solve it. Clean your house top to bottom or whatever.
As an old friend once told me: You will quit smoking when you stop putting lit cigarettes in your mouth!
Well it worked, and it had be 20 years now! I know if I even took one puff, it would be like I never quit within days!
good luck, and get your friends and family to support you!
http://www.gosmokefree.co.uk/getunhooked鈥?/a>
Try this link
Key is you really being certain and committed to wanting to stop. The patches work as do the gum products designed for smoke cessation. You can also see your family doctor to obtain more options.
Good luck!
well..first off all let me tell you i have 2 parents who smoke and they have tried to quit soooo many times its not funny....so obviosly..i know its hard....but...my suggestion is the patches...my mom has those and they were working but then she was soo pis.sed off nad decided to smoke..hope i helped
Constantly keep a bottle of water on you. Drink it alot to have your hands and mouth doing something and to cleanse your body. Always say to yourself ';Where's my water, gotta have my water';.
Sew your mouth up and cut off your hands.
Yes! Find out exactly what chemicals are added to tobacco ... and you will be so upset that you will NEVER touch it ever again
Just do it . you don't need any help, like patches or gum or any of that stuff. It's mind over matter. If you've got the will power,then it's a done deal. Good luck to you.
Don't buy any cigarettes. worked for me (with ALOT of will power!)
take that commit stuff or use the patches. the commit stuff just came out in flavors. hope i could help.
just quit.
...please tell me...i so wish i knew...would gladly share it...and i admire those who have given....i will do it...health has told me the time to stop is getting very close...and i am scared...a bit anyhow...helpppp...and good luck to you...just do not ever stop trying to stop is all i can claim to have done...i am trying to stay that way....you will get there...if i do not believe you can do it i feel i am giving up a little of the faith i have in myself to succeed at it...if that makes sense...lol...so you gotta stop or i wont and vice versa...have faith in your own abilities...i know i have given things up far, far harder than nicotine...have given up huge ones...but this one...hard ain't it mate...abi...xxx
hey, i just quit smoking. Look, I could tell you all the things like Nicorette patches and whatnot, but the NUMBER ONE thing is you have to truly, without a doubt undeniably WANT to stop for yourself. After that, pick a day to quit by (like when you finish your pack, realisticly). And stick with it. Make it like a game and say you'll go a certain amount of months without smoking. After those months are over, the cravings will be gone because the nicotene will be out of your system. Chewing gum helps when you have cravings. Get a big pack of big red for something to do with your mouth everytime you want a smoke. The KEY is to go so long as that it flushes all out your system so the cravings stop. After that, half the battle is won. Its then just pure willpower. You CAN quit cold turkey, don't believe the hype. I did it recently and I'm feeling great afterwards, GOOD LUCK you can do it!
theres a pill that makes u not get the satisfaction of smoking dont remember wat its called
Well I have been where you are and today I am into my 7th day of my quit. The longest and most difficult so far. Cinnamon sticks are great for chewing on, they are also hallow so you can inhale and they fit in your hand like a smoke but smell sooooooo much better! Drink lots and lots of water! Cravings only last 1 to 3 minutes so deep breathing, drinking a bottle of water, distraction, walking, sit ups what ever it takes to get past the craving, one craving at a time, one hour at a time one day at a time......kind of like procrastination.....lol
I do have to tell you that I have cried for days, got angry like I didn't know I had it in me....finally went to the doctor who prescribed a mild sedative to help keep me on an even keel.....I wouldn't have stayed quit if I continued to lose control.....need a new frame for a door......eeks! No bad days since.....just very proud I have made it this far and know that this is the ONE!
Also it is interesting to know that on average a person attempts to quit 7 times before they are successful.
Usefull website.........whyquit.com......certain鈥?motivating although I do not agree with their policy on NRT's
Wishing you the best of luck.......
Don't buy any. Worked for me. It was tough, though! Just stick with it, the only time you need to be strong is when you're passing a newsagents, but it takes the focus from not smoking to not buying. You're not giving up the fags, you're giving up buying them, which, to me, felt much easier.
It will depend on how many you smoke, though. If you smoke loads, seek advice from your doctor.
Good luck!
Not easy but - just stop! 24 hours and you are already clearing your body out. The first 24 hours are very hard. Find something to do with your hands - write, crosswords, knit anything. When you crave a cigarette..pick up a carrot and eat it or a bit of apple.
Keep active - the main reason people fail after the first 24 hours is because they are doing nothing and bored! Go for a walk!
Most of all, stay away from people that do smoke (even friends)!
If you can get over the first two days..without smoking..it gets easier as your dependance on nicotine goes!
Go to your doctor and ask for help..they are geared up now to help..patches can be prescribed to ease the nicotine withdrawl..you will notice a difference in how your body behaves very quickly. Food tastes different.
I know..I did it - 20 yrs a smoker and gave up just like as above. Not touched one in 3 yrs now and don't want to.
Stop putting anymore cigarettes in your mouth!
Well that is not so sarcastic as it seems but it is the only way.
I quit 18 months ago.

Advice best routing from Dubai to Chicago?
I am planning to travel from Dubai (Middle East) to Chicago (IL, USA). Can anyone suggest what is the best routing to take. I came across 3 options:

(c) Travel Dubai-NewYork and then domestic flight to chicago.
Could anyone suggest what is best and why? Thanks in advance.Advice best routing from Dubai to Chicago?

Really depends on which airports you go to for your connecting flights. I would go with (b) because I would try to steer clear of Heathrow, LaGuardia, or JFK.
If your flying into BWI or National, you will probably have a pretty smooth transition. Dulles can be a pain because of their little tram system though.
B) Ronald Regan and O'Hare airport will have every accommodation you are looking for without the congestion of JFK airport in NYClip cream colorsilk

Can anyone please share their experience and their best advice on buying/owning rental properties?
I was wonder about tips on financing, paying for the units, finding rental markets in my area, finding investor friendly companies (broker, title, and escrow, PMs). I'm looking to invest for the long term. Thank YouCan anyone please share their experience and their best advice on buying/owning rental properties?
Trying to put my last 20 years of owning and leasing rental properties into a small space like this is going to be difficult. You should try to find Landlords and Landladies in your area you can network with. Know your rental laws for your state (you should find them online), find a real estate agent that has sold multi-plexes/ rental properties before, the more the better; you can squeeze some info out of him/ her, becasue he/ she more then likely is a landlord, too. They also know the best mortgage firms and Title companies. Brace yourself for a lot of hard work, long delays and don't let your emotions run your business, but don't be cold-hearted either (think about what you would do, if you had to evict your tenants for non-payment of rent, they have 4 small kids and it's right before X-Mas). The units should pay for themslves (including utilities that your tenants do not pay, and any repairs, so some will go to savings). You should get a business licence and become a limited Liability Company (LLC). there are tax advantages if you have a multi-plex and live there, but you should see a tax specialist for that. Shop around for insurance, if you insurance and they can insure you house, your car and other stuff, it gets cheaper. Get a large down-payment together and be prepared for cavity-search lile inquiries about your finances by the mortgage company see them a year prior to wanting to purchase to find out what you can do to improve your credit and the maximize the amount they will give you). Find out about First-time home-buyers advantages of your state. lastly, you need tons of luck finding the property that suits you most AND finding good tenats. Good luck!Can anyone please share their experience and their best advice on buying/owning rental properties?
Decide if you want to buy cheap and fix them up. WHich is not too hard but it eats up your money and requires workmen who may or may not show up to work while you wait for them.
Or do you want to buy pretty houses which cost $20,000 more but have been lovingly maintained.
Then run some ads and be willing to say NO to anyone who is not going to be a perfect tenant. Demand good credit, good references, good jobs, money in the bank. Act like you were getting ready to loan these people $12,000.
Keep your rental houses in wonderful shape. Collect the rent in person on the 1st of every month and accept no excuses.

Where is the best place or best advice for getting a cheap haircut?

xoxoxoxoxoxoxo aliWhere is the best place or best advice for getting a cheap haircut?
have you thought about seeking out a mobile hairdresser? they tend to charge a lot less than salons and as they are professionally qualified or should be (check by asking for proof of qualifications). the only thing with mobile hairdresser though is you will probably be required to wash your hair yourself before they come over, rather than get it done for you.
i have used mobile hairdressers and have been pleased with the result.
A barber shop. Usually the small, local ones are cheaper.
If you cut it yourself, you save the most

For adult women: What's the best advice you can give to a teenage girl?
What's something that you wish you could tell to teenage girls these days? Or maybe it's something you wish someone would have told you back when you were a teenager?
guys potentially could answer this also if u wantFor adult women: What's the best advice you can give to a teenage girl?
Cleanse ,Tone, Moisturise....For adult women: What's the best advice you can give to a teenage girl?
1) Don't build your life around some boy!
I'm still surprised at how many girls pick the same college as their boyfriend just so they can be together. Or pick out a career based on what their boyfriend is going to do. Or drop their friends the minute they get a new boyfriend.
2) Put off dating as long as you can. You can concentrate on yourself, have some fun, figure out what YOU want. And the longer you put off dating, the longer you'll put off the temptations of sex, which guys and girls both have way too early.
It's something my mum told me,
';Your future lies before you like a driven sheet of snow,
Be careful where you tread,
For every step will show.';
My personal advice would be to enjoy your childhood and don't try to grow up so quickly. Once your few years of childhood are gone, adulthood is forever.
stop being so damn easy.
sorry, im a ';teenage girl'; too, but
females these days are scandalous as
I don know what.
edit ; thats another thing I forgot to mention, finish high school. I f*cked around, slept during class, left class all the time, came to school high, and ended up getting my GED.
I would say respect yourself and stop trying to grow up too fast, There will be plenty of time for boys when your in your 20's and when that time comes don't give yourself a bad reputation...
Don't try and be something your not to please other people, If they care they will love you for you.
FINNISH HIGH SCHOOL!
You need to do the best you can in school because your education is very important. Don't try to grow up too fast. Enjoy your youth because it's some of the best years of your life. Treat people the way you want to be treated.
Enjoy being young, don't let anyone rush you into adulthood. Remember you can never go back. Have fun though!
listen to your mum, and ALWAYS use protection! Don't worry so much about what other people think, and concentrate on expanding your mind rather than being merely decorative.

For ten points... What is the best advice that you could give to someone who you would never see again?
In your opinion, what is the best advice you could tell a friend, a stranger, a family member, anybody, that was leaving and you wouldn't see them for the rest of your life.
Ten points goes to the answer that really makes me want to change a wrong path I may be leading, or one answer I really like.For ten points... What is the best advice that you could give to someone who you would never see again?
Tell them to never stop smiling =)
smiles are good for the heart and soul and take you down many more roads then a frown
tell them to enjoy the simple things in life, like who we are, the love we feel and things that make you smile like the way jellos always got that jigglyness and little kids sound so cute when they laughFor ten points...

I'd say let's not say goodbye on a bridge because it is bad luck and it means that *one of us will not live to see the other*....o.O.......LOL
No but seriously, I'd say:
Nothing lasts forever
So live it up
Drink it down
Laugh it off
Avoid the bullsh*t
Take chances

.....like meeting me: your best friend, so don't forget me!!!!!!! :P
i'd advise them to be true to themselves. do not participate in self deception. do not project an image of something you are not. spend some time each day just thinking your thought- get to know yourself. last but not least, don't do things that you would be embarassed/ashamed if your gramma knew about it.
Take the time to know your own mind. Know that you are not alone - it's you and the entire universe. What you wish for you will get. Let bliss be your guide. And most importantly, enjoy your life.
I'd tell them to only follow the path that feels right for THEM and them only. not anyone else. Id tell them to try to achive their goals and dont give up until they do.
Everybody deserves equality. If it doesn't hurt anybody else or themselves in anyway, there's nothing wrong with it.
Live one day at the time and do not worry about tomorrow. Don't hearth anybody and do the right think.
As long as you aren't six feet under it's never too late or impossible to change the path you are on. How badly do you want to get off that path?
People who ask our advice almost never take it. Yet we should never refuse to give it, upon request, for it often helps us to see our own way more clearly
Don't follow any advice, no matter how good it sounds
You could tell them that you will meet again, in heaven.
dude i suck at giving advices.
Who cares you'll never see them again!
I would say to them 'i do hope you make the right desicions. i wish you all the luck for your future'
Don't wear your socks in the bathtub
I'd say,,write soon and take care of yourself
see you on aim? if not...facebook? if not...myspace??

Ten points goes to the answer that really makes me want to change a wrong path I may be leading, or one answer I really like.For ten points... What is the best advice that you could give to someone who you would never see again?
Tell them to never stop smiling =)
smiles are good for the heart and soul and take you down many more roads then a frown
tell them to enjoy the simple things in life, like who we are, the love we feel and things that make you smile like the way jellos always got that jigglyness and little kids sound so cute when they laughFor ten points... What is the best advice that you could give to someone who you would never see again?
I'd say let's not say goodbye on a bridge because it is bad luck and it means that *one of us will not live to see the other*....o.O.......LOL
No but seriously, I'd say:
Nothing lasts forever
So live it up
Drink it down
Laugh it off
Avoid the bullsh*t
Take chances
And never have regrets,

Whats the best advice you got to help you out during breastfeeding?
Im going to breastfeed my third child and I really dont want to stop early like I did with my first 2 because of reasons like. (milk supply deminished and painful bleeding)
Im looking for any and all of the best advices you all got or have!!! Thanks, KellyWhats the best advice you got to help you out during breastfeeding?
It seems like you already got a lot of advice from everyone. Once you start breastfeeding, you can ask form more specific advice according to your needs.
The only thing I have to say is, if you really want to do this, don't give up no matter what.
Educate yourself, eat healthy, drink plenty of water, drink red raspberry leaf tea, carrot juice, take fenugreek and blessed thistle capsules, nurse on demand, keep baby close to you... All of these are things that 'll help you. But the one thing that helped me the most, was my determination to keep going. Formula was not an option. I took it day by day, and thanked God for every day I could nurse. For me it wasn't easy, and I heard over and over from friends and loved ones, to just give up. Luckily I didn't .
You can do this if you really want. Hopefully breastfeeding will be a breeze for you, and you won't ever have to ask a single question at y/a!! But even if it's not, whatever the obstacle is, you can overcome it. You 'll get your strength by watching your baby grow to be healthy and beautiful.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Congratulations!!! Have a wonderful experience nursing!Whats the best advice you got to help you out during breastfeeding?
Hmmm. I had a bunch of helpful info my first time around.
It's ok for the baby to be on the breast pretty much 24/7 for the first few weeks. Feeding on demand is key to establishing a great supply early on. Your milk can take 4-5 days to come in, AND THAT'S NORMAL.
Newborns have tiny tummies, just because the baby seems to be eating all the time does NOT mean you have a supply problem. Count the wet diapers rather than watch the clock to see if the baby is eating enough...
Use Lansinoh after every feeding the first 2 weeks. Use it two weeks before your due date 3 times a day.
If your baby is large enough, and you're not too large for it to be uncomfortable, learn how to do the sidelying nursing positions so that you can sleep while the baby sleeps. This was HUGELY helpful. Safe cosleeping guidelines are available at www.askdrsears.com There are some instances where it should be avoided and the link below provides specific advice.
Stay hydrated and fed. Stash bottles of water everywhere you might nurse and keep sandwich baggies of high protein snacks anywhere you might be nursing before you bring the baby home and make sure they get restocked each day.
I think those are the biggies that got me through the early days and will hopefully get me through them with the next baby due in 2 weeks. Best wishes to you on your third baby!
You know, Yahoo! was the only place i got positive advice. Everyone else told me to 'give myself a break'. Ugh.
The only thing I could do was too suck it up and push myself through the hard times. They did get better, I swear. Every little hurdle gets smaller, every feed makes it a tad easier :)
Goodluck mama
The best advice was take your baby to bed with you and nurse. I got the rest I needed to relax and stop worrying about my milk supply and baby got lots of access to the breast. When I spent a few days doing nothing but nursing, my milk supply finally started to increase and my baby was able to go longer between feedings. Also, the skin contact is good for babies. It helps them remember how to suck properly. It sounds like hocus-pocus, but I swear it works!
I was told to nurse frequently %26amp; pump when I can't nurse to keep my supply up. I was also told to try some of the homeopathic ways of increasing milk supply like Nursing Mother Tea by YOgi Tea Company.
Good Luck!
When I got mastitis for the 2nd time %26amp; was feeling down about breastfeeding, my OBGYN was encouraging. She said to set short-term goals for myself for breastfeeding %26amp; that even though breastfeeding was great for my baby, formula feeding was really good too. She said that in the US, we are really lucky to also have good formula and that formula fed babies are really healthy too! I went on to breastfeed my baby for 12 months--each week that I perservered with breastfeeding made it so much easier %26amp; I was really proud of myself for continuing. There are a lot of hurdles for some women when they are breastfeeding, but you can overcome them %26amp; be very successful at it. Be proud of yourself for even breastfeeding for a day! Best wishes!
Kelly,
Congrats on your third! I have three and it is really much easier than I thought it would be. That is after the first few weeks that are always tough.
You have already gotten some great advice from others and I would just add to get a nice sling for baby. I didn't have one until my third and didn't know what I was missing.. I can actually walk around the mall and nurse her in the sling and now one even knows. It is great when you already have other kids!
Also just remember that breastmilk is based on supply vs demand so put the baby to the breast on demand and yes sometimes it will feel like it is 24/7 but just until your supply is built up or they go through a growth spurt.
Best of luck!
Don't give any bottles or pacifiers in the first 3 weeks! It can cause nipple confusion and latch on problems. Nurse baby on demand. You supply will adjust and meet the needs of your baby. Take it easy for at least the first month and forget about housework and everything else. Rest and nurse! Let someone help you with the other kids and the chores!
Go to La Leche League meetings! It's great to have the support and you can get pointers. Or at least contact them if you have ANY problems with sore nipples, latch on, etc.
I wish I had studied up on it a lot more I didn't think it would be so difficult I really assumed it would be so easy and now I see that it is hard but worth it I didn't get a whole lot of good advice until I started having trouble but I'm still at it 10 weeks later and it is finally getting easier!!!!!!
i used lotion that the hospital gave me and when i wasnt breast feeding i used a warm wash cloth to help the milk flow more easily also try long hot showers with the water running onto your breasts this helped me get more milk in and also make it that they didnt hurt as much the doctors told me that this was the easiest way
I had the same problem when breastfeeding my first 2 (diminishing milk supply, not enought time to devote to it). So, naturally I thought things would be the same the third time around. But first off, remember that you are pretty much a professionaly when it comes to breastfeeding this time. And just approach it with that confidence and it will probably go much better. I am currently nursing our third child and I just went into it with a headstrong attitude. Just tell yourself that you know what to expect and be prepared for it (get some pure lanolin ointment for the soreness, it helped sooo much) and just do what you can. Just the fact that you want to do this for your child while 2 other ones run around the room says a lot about what you will do for your children. Good luck
The best advice was from a lactation consultant in my midwife's office. She said that pacifiers and bottles should be avoided until breastfeeding has been well-established because they can really interfere with the baby learning how to suck properly and get milk from a breast.
So... no pacis or bottles for at least 3-4 weeks was what I was told. And it was great because my son never really got hooked on pacifiers! He would suck on one every once in a while when he was a couple months old... but we didn't have to deal with them much and didn't have to deal with binky weaning... which can be a PAIN!
Congratulations and best wishes.!
The best advice I received (and this is so true) is to make sure that your baby latches on correctly the first time. Don't think you will work on the latch later. It's too difficult to correct after your baby has gotten used to latching on improperly. Get help in the hospital immediately if you have ANY questions as to if it's the correct latch or not. I thought my baby was latching on right the first couple of days but she wasn't and it was causing pain and I was bleeding. The lactation specialist corrected me and we had to spend about a week correcting the baby. Good luck.
Hon, I got great advice from a message board.
The best advice I got was about cluster feeding and grwoth spurts.
Babies have growth spurts around 3 days, 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 months... Baby will nurse alot during them. It is their way of boosting your milk supply for their growing needs.
Also, don't time feedings. Let beby nurse as long as she/he wants at each breast. If baby falls asleep at the first one, Just use the other at the next feeding. You don't always have to use both. Baby may also prefer one breast over the other. That is also normal.
make sure first that you rotate each breast between feeds so your baby gets the milk from both, this way it helps against mastitis which hurts a lot. I also used nipple sheilds which help by collecting milk that leaks that can be embarrasing. Also if your boobs get hot use big cabbage leaves in your bra that have been in the fridge for a while to cool them down, it is cheaper than the cool packs you can get and feels better. If ypu express milk use an avent hand pump, ive tried loads and they are by far the best around, quick and simple. I also got told that after a feed rub a bit of your milk into your nipple as this prevents soreness and it works! Good luck.
I have some advice for you. Women are to be seen and not heard. Quit your bitchin' and get back to the kitchen. You're cruisin' for a bruisin' baby.
