I had my eyes tested yesterday and my eyesight has improved. This stumped the optometrist so she asked me a few questions and I told her I was breastfeeding and she said it can improve your eyesight...weird! ------------- Zac Mark - 30.11.05 Samara Ailsa - 13.08.07 |

Wow, that's pretty cool!
*takes her glasses off* Hmm....perhaps it takes longer than 3 weeks to notice any improvement

That's cool, do they stay better or do they revert back to normal when you stop? -------------

I've never heard that. Mind you I was at a conference recently that had a lecture on pregnancy and eyes and whilst it was the only talk I paid any attention to (Tom was only 10wks old) I obviously didnt pay enough

I should have 20/20 vision then I've been bfing for nearly 11 months but still can't see my hand in focus if I put it out in front of my face without my contacts. too Blind to notice any change I guess.
edited to fix spelling....it's not that I can't spell I just can't see the mistakes ------------- Mum to Natasha Aroha 9/12/1995, Alexandra Makareta Waimarie 22/4/1998 and....Alyssa Frances Hopaea 18/03/2007

I haven't got 20/20 vision, and am still blind as, but my prescription changed significantly enough for my opto to think he has stuffed up and called me back in to check again. ------------- The Honest Un PC Parent of 2, usually stuck in the naughty corner! :P |

It's weird - cause I breastfed Zac for 9 months and no change but have been breastfeeding Samara for 6 months and it has improved. ------------- Zac Mark - 30.11.05 Samara Ailsa - 13.08.07 |
