I appreciate your openness about what you've gone through. It is so hard to be mommy and be sick. I've been there three times since my latest baby's birth in July. (Mastitis, yuck! Praise God for garlic!!) I did have a question for you that I hope won't cause discouragement or controversy! I am wondering what you would recommend moms of infants do if they don't have the options of having a "wet nurse" or the ingredients to make the whole foods formula that Sally Fallon has a recipe for? I too am against antibiotics unless absolutely necessary. I have been in a situation with both of my children (one just a month ago!) that required me to take antibiotics. Like you, my situations have come up very quickly with no time to plan. I opted to continue nursing because I do not want to feed my baby store-bought formula. Do you think there is any way to better prepare for situations like this? My only thought is to begin pumping regularly once the baby is born to build up an emergency store. I don't pump now because I don't bottle-feed. I now wish I had been doing so from the beginning. Thanks for your time! Hi! I appreciate your openness about what you've gone through.

I was also turned away by our family physician ("you have large tonsils!") and ended up having the same emergency abcess draining. Mine came back a few weeks later and I ended up having my tonsils out. I hope yours stays away for good! What a horrible thing to have to go through with a young baby to take care of!

Doesn't matter if others agree or not, I think you did a wonderful job at orchestrating for you and your family's needs when a crisis hit. CONGRATS!! You are awesome.
