So there’s an issue that I’ve always wondered about:
Clinics or hospitals ALWAYS have lactating women coming in complaining or suffering from: engorgement or clogged ducts. This causes such ANGUISH in these women. The amount of pain these women describe is… heart braking!
But what solutions are prescribed?: To pump… have a baby to latch on… massage… or medication.
First off: A pump… doesn’t always provide the needed relief
A baby… depending on the situation, there isn’t a baby
Massage… it can add to the pain
Medication… no one really wants to start pill popping, especially meds for this aforementioned situation, often times isn’t useful.
What a woman actually needs in that situation is: An effective SUCKLER. (Of course, this would be offered and carried out on a private basis.)
I’ve read stories of women that have managed to get the help of a suckler and…. GOODBYE engorgement, GOODBYE clogged ducts.
Why don’t clinics/hospitals procure the help of sucklers?
Yes, a good vetting process is warranted. AND a mutual “code of conduct” should be agreed to, especially if this service is being provided at a medical facility. And sucklers have to be CAPABLE of not purposely “releasing” while nursing. Sucklers have to understand that as far as the woman is involved: they’re their to relieve THEM: the women in distress. That’s the purpose of the service.
Obviously, both the woman and suckler could require anonymity, using some type of face covering. Identification and/or communication from either party could be provided on a voluntary basis or simply staying anonyms.
Women could rate and even recommend a suckler to other women.
A suckler could indicate a breast preference, including size and nipple type (this could be crucial in effective suckling), OR… no preference at all.
A women could request to keep the same suckler or not, until an agreed upon amount of time.
At any rate, a background check is warranted. Also a discloser to sucklers on the woman’s desease/drug-use status would be provided.A clinic/hospital having a DISCREET compliment of vetted sucklers on standby could be an ultimate WIN/WIN: the women get needed prompt relief and the sucklers get the needed closeness, nurturing and warmth they seek.
So what’re your thoughts? Opinions?
(No, I have virtually zero expectations that something like this will ever come to fruition. Peace.)You and me both bossman.😁👍
Personally I’d suffer on or upgrade my pump to a hospital grade one. The thoughts of a stranger who I have no connection or attraction to suckling me makes me sick to the pit of my stomach. But that’s just me opinion.
I certainly could have used one a few weeks ago when I was sufferring from mastitis and a clogged duct. 15 days on antibiotics and the pumping, massaging, hand expressing etc. didn’t do crap for me. Took FOREVER to go away. Eventually it was fine and I was so happy!!!
Sounds terrible Silky! So glad that is over. May it never happen again.
I agree with Juicy, the thought of a stranger, suckling my breasts makes me very uneasy. It’s a worse thought especially, if I were in pain or stressed. It’s a very uncomfortable and disconcerting thought for me personally. Especially if there is an infection, the thought of the diseases the man could be carrying as well is pretty disgusting.
But that’s me, I couldn’t let anyone on my breasts that I didn’t know well and trust fully.I’m assuming everyone knows that you can get STI’s and STD’s from breast milk.
Gent, I know your post was tongue in check. No offense meant you just got me thinking.
@beginner3 it wouldnt do any harm to actually do a post about std transmission from feeding. I’m sure lots of people dont know that
When I think with the upper brain, suckling on some random woman isn’t very appealing.
The lower brain says “when do we sign up?” 😜
I’ll let the upper brain rule on this one.😉I agree with Deborah and Juicy….the idea sounds gross and totally unappealing to me. I have no interest in having a stranger I know nothing about be that close or intimate with me, especially if in discomfort or pain…. But, I do understand it was a “wishful thinking” type of post.
I agree with Juicy, Deborah, that it would be good to do a post about the std transmission possibility.
I have provided this service several times for a professional milkmaid who suffered clogged ducts. It was definitely a win/win for everyone involved. My only investment was the drive to another state on short notice to help her out. Of course, I wasn’t a stranger, I had been her customer twice before, so she knew me and knew I was a skilled suckler.
@juicyboobies No no Deborah, no offense at all. On the contrary, you’re feedback is VERY appreciated, and food for thought.
Yes, a “professional suckler” (PS) would definitely be a stranger initially. You’re correct Joanne, @juicyboobies. BUT the focus of this kind of service would not be to procured sucklers by a hospital or clinic… for some type of dating service. In essence it would be a service to assist a woman who are experiencing extreme pain, in a natural easy way. Obviously if this ever were brought up by a medical professional, it would be something proposed or offered, but never obligatory.
@Silkymilky48… is a classic example of who a service like this could help. Providing immediate relief.I hear you Deborah, @beginner3. But a potencial PS would have to pass with a clean bill of health and tests, in order to become one. Thereby, a clinic or hospital would be abiding and complying with established medical standards. Like for example: blood donners. ALL are medically vetted, because of (and you are absolutely accurate Deborah): pathogen transmissibility.
@Grogman, I hear you. But this particular service would be an expression of empathy and compassion, a quick and immediate solution to a painful problem. (I can hear cynics saying in the background: “SURE. Empathy and compassion. Yeah.” But honestly, I would sign up to participate because it would be good so help a suffering soul. BUT in all honesty the closeness, nurturing effect and warmth is prized!Kudos! @divadnarr
So… who’s drawing up a STD Transmission post.
