Yep you CAN lend pumps.....Breast milk is sterile. As long as it is washed correctly and left in the sun to dry in bits or put thru the dishwasher, its fine... I run a BF support group and we lend/hire as do the hospital and plunket! Sorry, not meant to sound rude, either, I just like clearing up common BF misconceptions!

I have a pump in parts here if you want to borrow one, I need to check if its all together or not, as I know I did break a bit... Youare welcome to borrow it if you like.



i just saw this..sorry :( i just got told by three docs all the people at the hospital and my mw not to...but having said that they were wrong about other things so im not surprised..sorry:)

I would have ignored them especially since I bought mine 2nd hand so that is kind of long term borrowing ... did they say why?

Ren - I will dig out my recipies Ive got a good one somewhere

Serenity I had recurrent BV when I had an IUD and unfortunately the only thing that cleared it up was the antibiotics - and having the IUD removed (disappeared and never came back from that day). I did heaps of research on alternate options and nothing else worked apart from the prescription meds.

It's a horrible thing to have to put up with. I would definitely borrow the pump and bite the bullet so to speak. Hopefully it won't come back after that.]]> Sat, 10 May 2008 13:41:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17066&PID=379779&title=chewy-choc-chip-cookies-and-bv#379779 <![CDATA[Chewy Choc Chip cookies and BV : Oh, and sorry about the two COMPLETELY...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17066&PID=379724&title=chewy-choc-chip-cookies-and-bv#379724 Author: MumsyMoo

Would probiotics work in order to restore the flora and forna as well? Will have to go to the health shop today methinks...

I've got two manual breast pumps which you can have if you like. I don't need them anymore as I am in the process of weaning Samara.

I have just found out I have this too, when they did the swabs before having Mirena put in. Just took a massive dose of antibiotics last week and being reswabbed on Monday, so will find out if its gone.

Can you express enough for two days worth of feeds, and then continue to express during that 48hours? I would try the garlic tho, definitely worth a go. Good luck, sounds awful ]]> Sat, 10 May 2008 08:31:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17066&PID=379606&title=chewy-choc-chip-cookies-and-bv#379606 <![CDATA[Chewy Choc Chip cookies and BV : Hey Serenity, Have you tried...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17066&PID=379583&title=chewy-choc-chip-cookies-and-bv#379583 Author: caraMel

Hey Serenity,

Have you tried natural garlic capsules for the BV?
I had it a few years ago, it kept recurring after the medication finished so my dr suggested trying garlic because of its natural antibacterial properties.
Use the 1000mg oil capsules and poke a hole in 2 of them with a needle or pin then insert them vaginally. Night time is best because they get more of a chance to work before gravity does it's thing. (Put a pantyliner on though to save your knickers!)
You might want to get your partner checked out too, as it turned out for me that we'd been reinfecting each other The garlic worked for me though, after about 3 days I was symptom free.]]> Sat, 10 May 2008 00:15:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17066&PID=379583&title=chewy-choc-chip-cookies-and-bv#379583 <![CDATA[Chewy Choc Chip cookies and BV : Haha!

Eekkk Umm Im not sure, but I know for thrush you can use plain yoghurt on a pad and thats menat to help kill the bacteria and stop the itch....
Maybe go to the chemist and ask them what they can give you...would normal canasten(sp?) not be enough?

Sounds horrible for you serenity I hope you find a solution soon.]]> Fri, 09 May 2008 16:37:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17066&PID=379158&title=chewy-choc-chip-cookies-and-bv#379158 <![CDATA[Chewy Choc Chip cookies and BV : Ok: Firstly, be warned...

Ok: Firstly, be warned... This could be slightly TMI for some...

I have two questions, the first being:

Does anyone have a yummy recipe for Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies? Like, Ma Higgins style? Mmmmm, I found one really tasty one that were DEVINE... But now I can't find the friggin' recipe Not cool.

My second question (and this is the curly one):

Has anyone ever had Bacterial Vaginosis? Kinda like thrush, but not quite? I have it and I have the 3rd stage (Gardnerella) which is more or less the worst case scenario.

It was picked up when as tested for Strep. B whilst still pregnant but I wasn't treated as it wasn't an issue... But I'm thinking that it's an issue now as I'm itchy as a mofo and it's driving me friggin' crazy! I'll be walking along and will be attacked by an urge to itch or something so end up doing some funky little dance thing to move the seam of my pants in a more 'desirable' position.

It's really starting to drive me nuts and I feel disgusting. It smells bloody horrible and I'm worried others can smell it too, it's grey-ish in colour and feels like I've wet myself half the time cos there's so much discharge (see, told you it was a curly one) I change panty liners at LEAST 5 times in the day and have even resorted to changing underwear completely. I shower every day, if not twice a day, I don't wear thongs or tight pants in order to try make things more comfortable for my poor fandango, but NOTHING seems to be helping.

I don't want to go on the prescribed treatment as it means not breastfeeding for 48 hours, and my supply drops REALLY fast and I don't have a pump to keep things going

So if anyone has suffered this, can you please shed some light as to whether there's any other options for me? Preferrably natural alternatives.

Thanks in advance and I apologise if I made any of you throw up in your mouths a little
