続・おっぱいトラブル

ほぼ復活してた左おっぱい。
土曜日にもう一度助産院を訪れてマッサージしてもらったら、そこでまたかたまりが取れて、すっかり勢いを取り戻しました。

前回、助産師さんに『果物たくさん食べた?』と聞かれました。
どうやら私の母乳は果物の匂いがしたらしいです。牛乳好きな人は牛乳の匂いがするし、結構食べ物わかるよって言われてました。ビックリ~。
果物の果糖については友達から注意されてたんですが、毎日結構食べてました!

その助産師さんは食べ物制限しだすと食べる物なくなるから、それよりもしっかり吸ってもらってってスタンスだったんですけどね。まぁ、もうこんなの嫌なので食べ物も気を付けようと心に決めました。

で、気分晴ればれで帰宅したまでは良かったんですが。
帰宅後の授乳でもう違和感が・・
夕方にはまた、カチンコチンになってしまいました(泣)

しかも、右にもしこりができて赤くなってます・・
痛みよりも気持ちがつーらーいー。

今日は、マッサージも朝1回しかできず、saeに飲んでもらってもまったく変わりません。ううーん。明日までマッサージしながら様子をみようと思います。

今日もsaeはギャン泣きなしです♪(最近、影をひそめてます!寝る前15~20分くらい泣いたらだっこで寝てくれるようになりました!)
ただ、午後からはしっかりお昼寝もできず、ほとんどだっこでした。おっぱいも、出が悪いのか左は特に飲みながら怒ってきます。機嫌が悪いっていうほどでもないんですけどねー。

モヒカンが伸びて、左に傾きつつあります

突き上げた右手を見つめるのが本日の流行でした

機嫌悪くなったのでだっこひもにしたらおとなしくなりました

てぬぐい掛けとかないと、顔に当たる部分をなめてべちょべちょになります

午後、お散歩の帰りにご挨拶した初めて会ったおじいさんと少し立ち話をしてたら、家のお花を切ってくれました♪
『お祝いだ。元気に育ちますように』って、とっても嬉しかったです!
4月に家に戻ってから全然余裕がなくて切花飾ってなかったんです。久しぶりに飾ったら、すごく気を感じました・・

紫と白の紫蘭とバラです

だんなさんの帰りが遅かったので、初めてsaeと二人でお風呂に入りました!入る前は機嫌悪かったのでどうなるかと思いましたが、入浴中も上がってからもご機嫌でした♪良かった♪

私は今、なんだかイケテナイ時期らしく。
おっぱい詰まるし、腱鞘炎痛いし、口内炎できるし、今朝からは腰痛も・・
早く脱却したいものです。

私を癒してくれるお日さま浴びて風に揺れる洗濯物

レタスがたくさん採れ出しました

saeの大声で話してるところを撮ろうとしてカメラを向けると、とたんに黙ってしまいます。なんとか撮れたのがこれらです↓




もっとたくさん、長い時間叫んだりお話したりするんですよー。

さ~、マッサージ頑張ります!

  1. HI junjun!
    That old man was so kind to give you the flowers! flowers make me so happy too! I'm so sorry you are having a hard time right now! is it stressful adjusting to life as a mum back in your house with no grandma/auntie to help out? You sound stressed! worried about you!
    LOVE the videos! Sae is the cutest! she's moving so much and 'talking' so much now isn't she!
    I've been in England 2 years now..I've been to lots of La Leche League meetings (where mums come and talk about breastfeeding and get advice with problems they're having (mastitis being the most common one) and I have also just done this 'breastfeeding peer support' training..in all of that time I have never once heard mention that mastitis is caused by what you eat. (although of course everything that you eat goes into your milk..which is why it's so good to eat a varied diet because then your baby will get used to all sorts of different tastes! I'm sure that's why kai now likes a huge variety of food) In fact having heard things like that so often in Japan (a friend in Iga had it and her dr told her she was eating too many sweets!) I asked the breastfeeding peer support trainer (a lady with 30 years experience in maternity wards and with breatsfeeding support) about it and she laughed and laughed! I think it is an old wives tale. seriously! unless us westerners are just ignorant..but i've looked online and can't find any mention of it. If eating too much fruit were indeed a cause I think I would be constantly suffering as I eat about 3/4 pieces of fruit a day. The causes of mastitis seem to be;
    •your baby not being properly attached to your breast during feeding,
    •your baby having problems suckling the milk out of your breast, or
    •your baby having infrequent feeds..
    it could also be caused by a bad fitting bra (do you have a good one?), pressure on the breast (it's not the breast on the side which you sleep is it?) or tight clothing.
    I would have thought the fact that Sae is sleeping so long at night without a feed is the reason why you are having trouble..could you wake her in the night???
    sorry to go on so! but when i was in Iga so many people (and myself too!) around me got given advice/information about breastfeeding that was just misinformed/ or just plain wrong....it doesn't cause cavities by the way either! (a health worker told me in all seriousness that it did..she was wrong.)
    So that it doesn't happen again you should try to get Sae to;
    empty the breasts fully at each feed..if she doesn't drink it all you could express it,
    feed on demand (i think you do that anyway don't you?) or more often if your breast feels lumpy,
    check her latch-is she definately latching on properly?
    and make sure you get enough rest!
    oh! junjun! I do hope you get better soon!
    thinking of you!
    lots of love, becca

  2. that was long! sorry!
    I've also read that eating a lot of garlic can help as babies like that taste apparently and will feed more!?
    and you could try taking 'Lecithin' ( a food supplement)-apparently it changes the consistency of the milk leading to less blockages..can you get it in japan?
