Breast milk news, celebrity gossip, and bizarre health issues this week in baby links I'm loving. Dig in:
While I'd prefer to also think of Amy Adams as a sweet, innocent-but-hilarious, young thing, Adams blew the interviewer's mind when she gave away her post-baby weight loss secret: exotic dancing. -- Celebrity Baby Scoop
Who knew there were shady online milk banks out there for moms who are looking for breast milk when they don't have enough -- or any -- of their own? Dr. Sanjay Gupta knows, and he (and the FDA) sent out a warning for new moms to stay away from any random milk sharing online. Will you listen? -- CNN
Having weird thumb pain after the birth of your child? You might have Mommy Thumb. That's right, Mommy Thumb. Everything has a name these days, doesn't it? -- Lil Sugar

"Mommy Thumb" (De Quervain’s tendinitis) is very real and very painful! I litterally had to learn to do everything with my left hand (I was born a righty) after coming down with De Quervain’s tendinitis when I was 19 (and not from being a mommy but rather from an injury) I spent 4 months in a splint, 3 months in physical thearpy and saw a specialist that wanted to do surgery. That was 6 and 1/2 years ago. It still flares up to this day; write a long letter-a day or 2 in a splint; paint a room-a week in a splint; play games on a cell phone- impossible
If it continues to increase in frequency and intensity it should be checked out before irreversible damage is done. Had I followed the doctor's orders to begin with I likely would not still have flair ups
Stripping is a great workout - that's why those classes are so popular!
thanks for the links!
