I just burped and feel loads better lol. I'm still going to stick to safe foods, but now I think I can at least sleep comfortably. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-for-nursing-while-having-a-stomach-bug#post-1579032 Sat, 19 Apr 2014 20:11:38 +0000 Dandelion 1579032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sslm: yeah, it's gross that I feel best right after puking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-for-nursing-while-having-a-stomach-bug#post-1579031 Sat, 19 Apr 2014 20:10:51 +0000 Dandelion 1579031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: it was restful up until last night. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-for-nursing-while-having-a-stomach-bug#post-1579013 Sat, 19 Apr 2014 19:56:19 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1579013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yuck. So much for your restful spring break! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-for-nursing-while-having-a-stomach-bug#post-1579010 Sat, 19 Apr 2014 19:41:57 +0000 sslm 1579010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh. I've been there!! I just nursed directly after throwing up bc I had a few minutes of feeling better at that time. It was so awful, sorry you're going through it!! I hope it passes really soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-for-nursing-while-having-a-stomach-bug#post-1579008 Sat, 19 Apr 2014 19:40:10 +0000 Dandelion 1579008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm living on clear liquids cause everything else bounces back. Ugh can't wait for this to be over. Doesn't look like I'll be having easter dinner tomorrow :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-for-nursing-while-having-a-stomach-bug#post-1579006 Sat, 19 Apr 2014 19:35:16 +0000 Revel 1579006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, I feel for you. I've had two stomach bugs while nursing but none while she was a NB. Gatorade, and side lying nursing, if you two have gotten the hang of it, those feel like the only reason we survived! Feel better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-for-nursing-while-having-a-stomach-bug#post-1578684 Sat, 19 Apr 2014 12:21:13 +0000 Corduroy 1578684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hugs!! It feels awful but many of us have survived. Keep baby close and rest. I hope you have someone to look after you. If not, call in some reinforcements. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-for-nursing-while-having-a-stomach-bug#post-1578660 Sat, 19 Apr 2014 11:50:31 +0000 lady grey 1578660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with @Applesandbananas. Do lots of side laying nursing and spend the day in bed! Sip fluids and stick to a BRAT diet: bread, rice, applesauce toast.<br /> Ginger is good for nausea. Whatever you do, don't drink peppermint tea (which can help with nausea too) because it will decrease you milk supply! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-for-nursing-while-having-a-stomach-bug#post-1578659 Sat, 19 Apr 2014 11:50:13 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 1578659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dandelion: yep - I had it 3 weeks post partum, nursing constantly. It isn't always because of a clog - it can just look like a red bump on the breast. Symptoms can mirror flu-like symptoms. Easily treated though with antibiotics </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-for-nursing-while-having-a-stomach-bug#post-1578658 Sat, 19 Apr 2014 11:49:50 +0000 Dandelion 1578658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well I had some soothe tea and pretzels (no crackers here) and it's starting to subside. Thanks for the tips! I'm definitely camped out in my bed with M in the pnp next to me. DH has been pretty helpful.</p> <p>I think the rainy weather doesn't help either! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-for-nursing-while-having-a-stomach-bug#post-1578653 Sat, 19 Apr 2014 11:47:01 +0000 Dandelion 1578653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Confetti: can you get mastitis when nursing 24/7? I don't feel burning but thanks for the head's up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-for-nursing-while-having-a-stomach-bug#post-1578623 Sat, 19 Apr 2014 11:10:50 +0000 Applesandbananas 1578623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We commandeered the bedroom and did tons of side-lying nursing. DH also fed him the occasional bottle of pumped milk so I could just get a good stretch of sleep. I think waking up every 30min-2 hours to nurse makes it really hard to recuperate, so he took a feeding to help me get more rest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-for-nursing-while-having-a-stomach-bug#post-1578613 Sat, 19 Apr 2014 11:01:27 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 1578613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just make sure it isn't mastitis in disguise - keep your eye out for a clogged duct/burning feeling in your breast. Feel better soon!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-for-nursing-while-having-a-stomach-bug#post-1578608 Sat, 19 Apr 2014 10:54:10 +0000 luckypenny 1578608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no! Hope you get better soon :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-for-nursing-while-having-a-stomach-bug#post-1578607 Sat, 19 Apr 2014 10:53:25 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1578607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No advice but I hope you get over it quickly and it doesn't pass to anyone else :-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-for-nursing-while-having-a-stomach-bug#post-1578603 Sat, 19 Apr 2014 10:50:31 +0000 matador84 1578603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had two stomach bugs in last two months with my NB also. I just stuck to sprite, crackers, tons of water, and attempts at rest. DH had to help a lot. Drinking tea helped me some. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-for-nursing-while-having-a-stomach-bug#post-1578599 Sat, 19 Apr 2014 10:44:26 +0000 Dandelion 1578599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I woke up at 2 am with a rock in my stomach. I've been puking some but it has subsided. I'm sipping water, skipping coffee (cry) and trying to rest. Of course I also have a 19 day old baby going through a growth spurt.</p> <p>Any quick nausea fixes? I have an over supply so thankfully I don't need to worry about that.</p> <p>Anything to watch out for with M? </p>
