The Dogmother Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Thanks for beating me to it Kate. Gina, you just have to sit there and snooze, we'll do the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Gina won't be able to snooze... she'll have the pain of chapped nipples and the baby will keep waking every 15 minutes to "snack". Gina - you may have heard of this one, but it really does work. If you get chapped nipples, put grated carrot on them (preferably organic ). They heal up in no time.

Guest Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 It's the secret handshake. If you don't turn up with a breast pad and a carrot, you can't get in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Believe me you'll need them Gina! I had so much milk they suggested that i donate it for the premature babies You lot make me laugh so much! Didn't know that one about carrots though grd (you never cease to amaze me), wish I had known it when I had chewed nipples Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted May 22, 2006 Author Share Posted May 22, 2006 I just had visions of me sat in a coffee shop, going to breast feed and chucking grated carrot everywhere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken on a mission Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 I didn't need breast pads and was disappointed that I couldn't donate milk I've never heard of the carrot thing Can you imagine the colour it would turn you and baby might not be a fan of orange The cabage (has to be savoy) worked a treat although I just kept it in the fridge. Surely it would go crunchy in the freezer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 It was our student midwife who recommended the grated carrot... of course, we thought she was joking at first. It's fabulous stuff though - I think it's because all the juice comes out of the carrot and... well... works it's magic. grd in the "Pants of Healing".
