Bummer. To make matters worse, the hotels in London were filled because of an annual carnival in the city.  There were no rooms. Double bummer. The airport staff was stressed because, well, weary travelers were stressed, which made for some unpleasant encounters.  A woman was spewing at the counter in front of me. “I must leave today, leaving tonight or tomorrow isn’t an option.” “I am sorry, the airports are closed tonight and tomorrow. ...

I have close friends that help me in important ways, ways that I'd not like to be without. But here on board this plane, I am pilot, copilot, navigator, flight attendant, and luggage handler.I live by myself, and have done so for most of my adult life. For whatever reason, I've just never acquired a marital companion. While this has its downsides, to be sure, it is the life that I've chosen.Would it be nice, as far as diabetes management goes, to have a partner to support me, provide assistance, and be part of the motivation to be as healthy as I can? Sure. But the fact ...

Synchronicity. Poetry in motion. Bliss. Those moments on our journey when the map suddenly seems so clear and our destination so much closer. It can be a moment of insight or learning, a realignment of our priorities or perhaps just a stunning instant of clarity. Regardless, they are sacred moments in our human experience. This month, in true EMT Spot fashion, I asked EMS bloggers from around the world to share with you their sacred moments of clarity when everything came together.

First, I feature several helpful resources on thrush, also known as an overgrowth of nipple yeast (usually the yeast Candida albicans) or candidiasis. At the end of this post are links to the other collections of resources from carnival participants. When a woman is experiencing intense pain while breastfeeding, it is important that she consider the possibility of thrush, which is a yeast infection of the mother’s nipple and the baby’s mouth.

This month the participants listed at the end of this post share their thoughts on “Taking Care of Yourself during the Holidays.” First I share the recommendations for fluid intake, how and at what point dehydration might affect breastfeeding, and the danger of over-hydrating. After I moved to California I quickly realized how easy it was to become mildly dehydrated in the hot summer months if I didn’t pay attention to getting enough water and other fluids to drink. However, it’s also all too easy for breastfeeding mothers to get dehydrated in the cold months with the dry indoor air from furnace heating. Mothers of newborns in particular need to watch out for early signs of dehydration simply because new mothers can...

It’s true of nearly any profession. The keys to success are not technical knowledge or even years of experience.

Lots of carnival participants have shared their own stories and advice about nursing in public (see links at the end of this post), but first I would like to discuss the issue of whether women should or should not cover themselves with a nursing cover while breastfeeding in public. At first it might seem like a non-issue.

This month participants share stories related to breastfeeding (see entries at the end of this post). My story represents the end of the story — how it turns out when a mother practices extended breastfeeding. When I had my first daughter, I fumbled my way around until I found my parenting style. It happened naturally. I couldn’t stand to hear my baby cry; what mother can? So I breastfed her on cue, wore her in a sling, and co-slept with her in my bed. Those things worked for me, my husband, and my baby. They continued to work for us, and we identified ourselves more and more with an “attachment parenting” philosophy.

So around my daughter’s four-month birthday, I sat ready with the video camera as I offered her spoonfuls of rice cereal mixed with breast milk. Now I cringe when I watch that video.

He told me about the possible impacts of web 2.0 on medicine and healthcare back in 2006 and that’s why I started to focus on this field.

This month’s participants each review one or more breastfeeding products (see the links at the end of this post). Medela Sleep Nursing Bra Review I ordered a Medela Sleep Nursing Bra when I was pregnant because I was looking for a soft, comfortable nursing bra without hooks or snaps. I was not disappointed! The fabric is 95% cotton, 5% spandex, and it comes in nude or white. The cups cross slightly in front, allowing for easy opening by pulling one cup to the side to reveal the breast. The ultra-lazy (me!) can pull up from the bottom rather than to the side. It has a racerback style and wide shoulder straps (which do leave a mark but are not uncomfortable) and pulls easily over the head. The bra is designed as a sleep nursing bra for holdin...

Really, it was nice spending some quality time together and having no other responsibilities. We get along really well - especially when there are no chores to fight about. The cruise was okay. I was nauseous from the boat rocking - even with the patch on. The seas were not calm at all, and there was some bad weather every now and then. We had too many days at sea, and we are not really casino players or lay-in-the sun kind of people. We liked the shows at night, and I really liked the dinners. Before the cruise, I had contacted Carnival Cruise Lines asking if they could support my diet. They sent me some forms to fill out explaining my medical condition and my requirements.
