Is it common for breastfeeding mothers to get thrust?

I am an R. N.  Worked with moms and babies for over 25 years.  This is a very common problem. Need to see your doctor.  Both Mom and baby need to be treated or they keep giving it back and forth to each other.  There is a creme for your nipples and drops for baby's mouth.  Do call the doc. I'm sure you will both do well.

It is pretty common in the US.  Nobody is sure just why it happens, but it is less likely if you breastfeed and if you have help with housework and care of older children so that you can care for your baby.  It still can happen, and it is more likely with women who have a history of depression.  It is much less common in non-Western societies, possibly because they have a better support system for new mothers.

I believe what you are referring to in your question is called a "Cerglage".  Yes, it does work, and I have seen many pregancies come to term with this method.

maybe you can try warm compress, its what i was told to do after i gave birth, maybe it will work, but you have to be ready 'cause milk may come pouring out.

The baby is probably just pressing on that side. There isn't that much room in there you know.   The little bugger is already being a pain!  LOL   Just kidding.  My son used to make me so uncomfortable because he'd move around so much and it was like he was stretching out.  I'd see his foot or hand pressing out.  It was kinda gross, and really uncomfortable.  And he kicked all the time.  Later in the pregnancy he pressed on my bladder alot.

Absolutely! Most women who have implants can successfully breastfeed. Read more info here: \nhttp://www.breastimplants4you.com/breast_feeding_complications.htm\nhttp://www.babycenter.com/refcap/baby/babybreastfeed/8680.html

Ask your doctor.  They gave me a pill to prevent lactation.  It worked.

That happens at times when you become pregnant. It could be preparing you for breastfeeding. Just ask your doctor and he will know exactly why.

Your silly. If your so curious, and since you can't ask an infant, i guess you would have to try it yourself. An infant wants to sate their hunger, not sample "flavors". Quality of nutrition is most important, therefore, breast milk would win out over formula.\nAgain, your silly!

The lactation system inside your breasts resemble a tree. The milk glands (the leaves) are grapelike clusters of cells high up in the breast that make milk. Milk travels from these glands down through the milk ducts (the branches). These ducts then widen beneath the areola (the dark area surrounding the nipple), forming milk sinuses (the tree trunk), which then empties into the approximately twenty openings in your nipple (like the channels going down to the roots of the tree). These milk sinuses are located beneath your areola.\n\nTo empty these milk sinuses effectively, your baby's gums must be positioned over them so that baby's jaws compress the sinuses where the milk is pooled. If baby sucks only on your nipple, only a little milk will be drawn out, and your nipple will be irritated unnecessarily. Remember the golden rule of effective latch-on: Babies suck on areolas, not nipples. Baby must have enough of your areolas in her mouth to get the milk out.\n\nYour baby's sucking stimulates nerves in your nipple that send messages to the pituitary gland in you brain to secrete the hormone prolactin. Prolactin surges encourage continued milk production, which goes on around the clock. As your baby continues sucking, the sensors in your nipple signal the pituitary gland to secrete another hormone, oxytocin. This hormone causes the elastic tissue around each of the many milk glands to contract, squeezing a large supply of milk through the milk ducts into the sinuses and out the nipple. This is called the milk ejection reflux , or MER. The milk may come out so fast that it leaks out the side of your baby's mouth. If you were pumping or expressing by hand, you would see the milk spray out in every direction.\n\nThe first milk your baby receives at each feeding is the foremilk, which is thin like skim milk because of low fat content. As baby continues to suck, more oxytocin brings on phase two, squeezing out the later milk (called hindmilk), which is much higher in fat and slightly higher in protein and, therefore, helps baby gain weight and helps baby's tummy feel full. Consider this creamier hindmilk "grow milk."\n\nThe more milk that is removed from your breasts, the more milk your body makes to replace it. Frequent removal of milk from your breasts by your baby or by a pump will sti9mulate your body to produce more milk. When your baby breastfeeds less, the body responds by cutting back on milk production. This supply and demand system is how mothers produce enough milk for twins or even triplets.

Perhaps the reason is that she has not performed her pelvic floor exercises post natal. These are improtant to do to tighten all the muscles that lossen up when a lady has a baby..they also remain loose due to hormones during and after child birth. If she is still breast feeding this can elongate the period to which this occurs..please give her time and talk it through with her. :)

Actually yes you can. I don't have sources but I do remember hearing about this back in high school from one of my teachers how a tribe of indiginous people of South America that kept injured men of the tribe useful by having the babies breast feed from the men. If enough suckling action is applied to the nipple, a man's body will actually begin to produce higher levels of estrogen and provide small amounts of milk. \n\nAccording to the study, it took a very long time and would probably not work for other people but since this had been a long practice of the tribe, it worked for them.

Breast secretion or your pituitary hormones should be tested to see what is going on.  Have you ever been pregnant or breastfed a baby before?  THAT is a KEY question, even if on an IUD right now. If so, some women can retain-continue to produce milk in breasts for a long time after weaning, but one year after weaning is average-OK, esp if you have lots of nipple stimulation with sex and or have lots of orgasms.  Longer than a year could be considered abnormal, and hormone tests would then be given by a doctor to see if there is a pituitary imbalance of some kind. Oxytocin hormone from posterior pituitary is the hormone of nursing-letdown and orgasm and will keep the milk letdown continuing even after weaning.  \n\nWomen who have breastfed before and ARE nursing do have spurts of OXYTOCIN and release of milk easier than other women and can letdown (leak milk) when thinking about or hearing or seeing babies, esp their own!!!!\n\nHOWEVER......Women who have never been pregnant or nursed a baby CAN make milk and can nurse an adopted baby, but it is REAL hard, definitely is a HORMONAL WONDER and takes a long time and MUCH dedication to get the breasts to develop this way, but it can be done, esp with the use of a LACTAID device the woman wears while she feeds formula to a baby.  Maybe you would make a great "wet nurse!" Find a lactation consultant in your area to help you?  Call local hospital L&D dept and ask for the list of lactation consultants available.\n\nLots of places are looking for disease free breast milk for babies who need it. If any of this sounds of interest, contact me.  I am also a lactation consultant, nursed my kids total of 5+ years and still had milk in my breasts 7 years after weaning without any pituitary abnormality. Odd, yes!\n\nBreast discharge is also a warning sign of breast cancer.  If not that, there are some women who have serious psychosomatic causes of breast leakage that have NOT been linked to hormonal abnormalities or pituitary tumors.  Quite a complex topic, but needs testing.  Best wishes!

If you are mainly lactating from one breast, there could be a few thing wrong with the other breast, your other breast could have sustained an injury(one that you might not remember or that seemed insignificant) even a small amount of scar tissue can interfere with milk production. The mammary glands in your breast could also be under developed, this could have been cause by a variety of conditions now of which are serious. If you are producing some milk from this breast with increased pumping and nursing you may be able to increase the milk supply. It is very normal to have one breast produce more milk then the other. Unfortunately there's really nothing to do about the size difference. When you are done breastfeeding the difference in your breasts should be less noticeable. There is no reason why you can't breast feed though, one breast is capable of producing enough milk for a baby.\n\nIf your milk ducts were plugged you would have pain and swelling, but that wouldn't account for the change in size. Plugged ducts can be relived by nursing and pumping. You should talk to your doctor about this though, just in case there is something more serious going on.
