...simply says to me that you shouldn't breast feed directly after the baby has been given the oral vaccination (drops).Strategies to overcome this negative effect, such as delaying breast-feeding at the time of immunization, should be evaluated.
Also, I am working on inducing lactation to better feed my soon to be adopted baby. So I know all to well the amount of work you are referring too.moolie said:...simply says to me that you shouldn't breast feed directly after the baby has been given the oral vaccination (drops).Strategies to overcome this negative effect, such as delaying breast-feeding at the time of immunization, should be evaluated.
Doesn't it?
And, I'm not sure why an infant would need to be immunized against Rotavirus anyway.
Additionally, in response to some of the comments above--not all of us are able to breast-feed successfully. I couldn't produce enough milk for my first daughter (although I had more than enough just over a year later for my second daughter) and HAD to supplement with formula. I kept trying for 5 months and finally had to give up, fortunately despite the extremely militant "breast is best" culture at the time I had support from my husband, family, and doctor.
I literally spent most of my waking hours, and long days at that, breast-feeding with a bottle sitting in warm water beside me to finish the job, then bottle-feeding, then pumping--not to mention the rest of dealing with a newborn like sleepless nights and squirty poops that escaped cloth diapers. It was hell on earth, and then I discovered I was pregnant again and had to immediately stop breast-feeding. Plus I was hyper-emetic (constant morning sickness) for 7 months with my first and it turned out I was the same with my second for 5 1/2 months.
Pregnancy, childbirth, and motherhood are not always the idyllic times we dream of and sometimes things don't go to plan. You do the best you are able to do for your kids and that is all you can do. My kids are both healthy and happy, and quite frankly the kid who got the formula has always had a way better immune system than the kid who was strictly breast-fed.
It is always best to NOT judge others for the choices they make, you have no idea what their lives are like.
I kind of suspect you may be right, there; would be interested if anyone has full-text access to the article to check this?moolie said:...simply says to me that you shouldn't breast feed directly after the baby has been given the oral vaccination (drops).Strategies to overcome this negative effect, such as delaying breast-feeding at the time of immunization, should be evaluated.
Are you kidding??? While severe rotavirus cases is not a big issue in the States, it is a pretty big deal ELSEWHERE.moolie said:I'm not sure why an infant would need to be immunized against Rotavirus anyway.
What, "let's not study things that are a problem, let's just assume that our personal preferred solution *must* be the best one"?Bubblingbrooks said:No Pat, because the very fact that it is even being considered and studied, is the real problem.patandchickens said:Does it not bother anyone on this thread that the title IS FACTUALLY INACCURATE?
you know, these words are just not how i'd ever describe Bubblingbrooks. ever.y'all are basing your shouting-and-arm-waving-at-the-idiot-experts on a TOTALLY incorrect premise
Apparently not, since I do not get how that is insulting.ohiofarmgirl said:you know, these words are just not how i'd ever describe Bubblingbrooks. ever.y'all are basing your shouting-and-arm-waving-at-the-idiot-experts on a TOTALLY incorrect premise

Thanks for the PM and maybe the problem is that you dont get it.

How is this not about shouting and arm waving (because of being upset) at experts who you've decided are idiots?
Sorry, I apologize for saying things you don't like but I just. Don't. Get. What. The. Problem. Is.
I believe the mods really prefer these things REPORTED or taken privately, do they not?
