For the last three weeks I have been to the clinic here on post once or twice or three times
each week for weight checks on the baby. On Friday, I drove 30 minutes to go to a highly recommended lactation consultant. I will need to go see her several times a week for the foreseeable future.
This morning I had to take my oldest son to the orthodontist for an emergency repair job on his braces. This afternoon I had to take the baby in again for a weight check. As I was leaving the doctor
nagged reminded me that I need to take the baby to an area hospital for a hearing test. I have to get it done before she's 60 days old (she's 28 days old now).
It's just going to have to wait.
For a breastfeeding mom in need of relief for a stress headache, which is better: Tylenol or Advil? Or wine......?

Bubbles. Bubbles and hot water. And whisper in her ear and see if she turns toward you. Hearing test: check.
After a gruelling homeschooling day, I opted to play Hoyle card games on my computer. My daughter walked up and said, "Gin?"
I answered, "Please."
Jennie - I agree with your hearing check, but then I'll have to listen to this doctor nag me every.single.time I go in there.
Barb, tonic is on the grocery list...
Here's a good resource for info on pain meds while breastfeeding: http://kellymom.com/health/meds/pain-meds.html
(And yes, I do realize your question is tongue in cheek.)
Wine, then sleep.
And can you just refuse the hearing test? I usually do, but I know things are different from 3 years ago when my last baby was born.
How far away is the hospital you have to go to?
I've got some Guinness in my freezer with your name on it if you're ever in Detroit... :-)
Best remedy is 1-800-NANNY
Or grandma.
Or, lacking that, a good video for the kids while you lay on the couch.
I'm a great mom, apparently LOL.
I don't have kids yet...but I think Advil washed down with wine would be best?
;)
Wine, definitely.
I'm with Jennie - sounds good to me too :)
Tylenol, advil, or wine...which ever works best for you. I always took a root beer myself. Pure root beer and beer (so I'm told) is great for helping with milk supply.
Benedryl and RED wine is sure fire cure at our house. :)
How about a massage? With wine. :)
