I called it the "plastic sombrero." Glad to hear that the Domperidone is working for you. I love your blog—I read it all the time. I live in the Twin Cities and I wrote a book about breastfeeding. I totally support your no-guilt approach to nursing. I'd send you a copy of my book if you're interested. If you're interested, email me when you've got a moment.

I don't comment much, but love to read and so glad things are all going so swimmingly for you. And I have a selfish request ... what sling do you use with Simone? I just had preemie twins and wonder what type of sling will work for them until they get bigger? If you have a moment when not exercising (ha ha) would you email me? thx! Happy 3rd Alexa!

I am not an experienced parent of any nature; in fact, I am thrilled when I get 4 straight hours of sleep at night. However, I read the giving up dairy can help if you are breast feeding with the reflux. I did that and saw a huge improvement in gas and reflux in my daughter (and her "baby acne" suddenly went away as well). Worth a shot... To all the Reflux-ers:

Firstly, I'm so glad you made it through the past year and have your gorgeous baby girl to show for all your struggles. Secondly; I love your "writing" style, you have a wonderful way with words, no matter what you are writing about or what mood you are in. I stop by eagerly every morning hoping for an entry - and today's one put a smile on my face. What vivid imagery your words conjure up. Thank you.

You have to be super cute, funny, a great writer, a milk-producing phenom and now THIS? You have to go and tell us that you actually like exercising and that you are DOING IT on a regular basis? You are giving me a complex. Alexa…REALLY??

My daugher will be 8 weeks old tomorrow, and was diagnosed with "silent" reflux at 3 weeks old (though I knew there was something going on before that but my friends daughter threw up constantly so that is what I associated with reflux). At any rate, they put my daughter on .08ml of Axid twice daily and it took 2 full weeks for me to see any improvement, and of course it did nothing for the frequency of the reflux occurances, it did start to greatly improve the screaming fits of pain. Its fairly rare for us to get those horrible screams these days. That said she is still fussier in the evenings than she is during the day, but now this fussiness is just what I consider 'normal' baby fussiness not the screams we were once getting. My son did not have reflux and he was also fussier at night. I think that is fairly common with babies. I still cannot wait for the day when i dont have to watch her choke on her own spit-up :( If I might add my experience so far with reflux…..

Not so much nursing/supply seeing as we've been going for fifmumblemuble months. I'm more worried that the poor girl with have long term body issues about how nipples should come with plastic covers. Yay exercise. As soon as I find a moment, I am right there with you. I worry about the long term effects of the nippleshield.
