Welcome
Maybe some sage stories?
Answering
What did we do?
Why did we do it?
Whilst I wold love to start a book and similar to Ina May Gaskin’s English project for uni – add it up eventially as a set of tales. .
This is easier and will happen with my adding in pages as I go.
Interspersed will be diagrams and helpful hints. .
And stories from many women who new that this was being a mother – and kept at it.
If this was not your choice, this is offering our motivations – and what allowed us to continue.
A little help you can give yourself – right now . .
Do be mindful of your breast tissue as it does expand – and gently to begin with – lightly and s-l-o- w-l-y ‘gouge’ from the middle to the sides
(Coming off the pressure when you do) of your chest.
I start with my stories – unscripted – as a conversation to watch whilst feeding or resting up . .
Heather’s Maternity
This was an exhausted mum -of 4 – end 1994
(Kathryn Skye would never have allowed her picture taken in close proximity to others).
Skye in Isolation in NICU at 3 weeks of age (33 years ago)
.
I have put this up as an answer to the horror that is being visited to those new mums who have ‘a safe birth’.
Not necessarily for the insanity – or baby’s early life.
Someone forgot that we take bub home and have to mother.
Personal stories from older mums
Who were where you may find yourselves.
I started asking questions of my older friends . .
The pattern that I had found . .
‘then the older midwife said . .. . ‘
Ist clip covering
Cold and mastitis as well as introducing why this is happening.
From those who did – and could and kept on doing ..
My own adventure – tells the story of a mum who COULD not NOT breastfeed as she had no money to otherwise, plus had often very vulnerable bubs to keep alive and enure thriving.
Kathryn Skye – problems:
Massive brain injury, nearly dying in ICU often desperately ill after vaccinations
Ryan – C section – problems –
Insufficiency and cracked nipples with thrush in it . .
Baby decades . .
The 70’s
One woman – one baby – working it out themselves. I had to look after myself and then I could look after my children

Regulating supply – see here
Not being told what they were doing to our bubs – Vit K given without permission. Is it even needed? Typical of bio-medicine – no real understanding of how a well body works – Vit K if needed would be present in cord blood – it is not. The jaundice we find with some babies – if not having to undo a massive hit of chemicals with an immature liver would be helpful – the overload is showing up as the yellowing of the skin.There will be a reason . Evidence based birth
The 80’s
No childcare flexibility – how did I stay same when b/f?
Read novels – 10 from local library – biggest ones I could find.
The 90’s
C section and interesting journey to get there.
Not ideal conditions . . . I moved countries – and no income . .

My story is replicated as I ask my friends . .
When we are uninterrupted, having a baby – breastfeeding is a lot easier.
