| 2009-10-19 | Paula | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Sue Thank you for your kind and extremely informative responce. It seems that because everyone is wrapped up in "Breast is Best" there is no advice out there for people who have made thier decision to give up. Whether this is at 2 weeks or 2 years. I made my decision that the time was right for both me and my son but I worried that I was going to get a comment like "Are you sure you want to give up?". The advice was great. In addition to the cold compress I had warm relaxing baths and it settled after 14 days. Sorry for the delay in getting back to you; I returned to work (part of the reason for giving up) and have been really busy adjusting to being mum and the work Paula I was before my beautiful son arrived in the world. |

| 2009-04-20 | amanda | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you for your advice. I will try wearing a tighter bra to bed as that is when the problem is the worst. I have been wearing a sleep bra - i guess that's not helping! amanda |

Expertise
I am looking to support the segment of mothers that encounter engorgement issues that prevent them from continuing to breastfeeding, those that do not breastfeed or are ready to start weaning. As an aside, I wish to add that questions asked in terms of those not breastfeeding will not be given guilt for their choice. In many forums, including this one, there is currently no category developed for this "not breastfeeding" audience. I do believe that breastfeeding is best for both mother and child, however, I believe more strongly that there is a lack of support for the woman that for either personal or medical reasons cannot breastfeed. My strengths would be in answering questions related to stopping breast milk production comfortably either right after delivery or after nursing their children for some time, reducing breast engorgement pain and dealing with overactive lactation. Questions I would not try to answer are those tied to emotional feelings as I feel many times women that don't/can't breastfeed struggle with it...and that should be directed to the appropriate counseling channel.
Experience
I am the inventor and founder of LaMa Bra and for years have researched the human body functions, both in process and emotions/hormones to develop a bra to help mother slow or stop their breast milk.
Education/Credentials
I hold a BS in General Biology, a MS in Human Nutrition and an MBA in Marketing.
Also, am the the founder of LaMa Bra found at http://www.lamabra.com that has helped many women with engorgement while breastfeeding and through stages of weaning when ready to stop breastfeeding.
