I'm going to have to go to the dentist next week. I've been putting off going since last March (yes - an entire year) first because I was pregnant, and then because I was exclusively breastfeeding. I'm still exclusively breastfeeding, but I have a stash ( by no means huge) built up - so if I have...

Woo hoo guys, DS turned 3 months yesterday - and is still exclusively breastfed! He has not had anything else since around 6 weeks. I fed him formula during an outing when I was not in a position to nurse him - however, it was a complete once off. Since the 6 week mark, I have also nursed in...

wrote: All the resources I find seem to assume that the baby was started on solids at 4 months. So when things say that e.g. fork mashed stuff should be introduced at 6 months, it assumes that the baby has already had 2 months of puree. Once your child's been through the...

There's a strong possibility that my baby (edd sept) will have to fly with me to Asia when I'm still on Maternity leave. I read on this ng before that some of the ladies took their babies at 2months. So is two months the earliest the baby can fly long distance? Are there any other contingencies...

What does it mean when my not-quite-5-week old pulls back with my nipple still in his mouth? He does this from time to time. He doesn't seem uncomfortable, or even especially hungry. I latch him on, he sucks for a minute or two, then pulls back and wants to keep sucking, which I won't let him do,...

DD is a year old today! She is still about 95% exclusively BF, since she has little interest in food. We have no plans to quit anytime soon. We both love BF. I am so glad that I didn't give up in the early days (I had lots of problem with poor latch, thrush etc..). I think there were 3...

Hi ladies How long did you all bleed after delivery. My baby will be 3 weeks tomorrow and im still bleeding. Not very bad, but bad enough to wear a pad. I was reading in one of my books and it said the max you should have bleeding is 2 weeks and if it goes longer it could be because of pieces...

I have been on Zoloft a few months now. It worked right away and I felt great. But it has lost it's effectiveness. I am on 50mg, do I need a higher dose? Also for a few nights now after taking my Zoloft tablet, I have been in agony with waves of heartburn type pain, but no acid came up. The pain...

My sister is pretty sure that she has PMDD (premenstrual dystrophic disorder, IIRC). The "new" drug for this is Sarafem, which is nothing more than Prozac under another name. I checked around a bit and I see that Prozac is not generally recommended for nursing mothers. But she has tried Paxil...

All four of my children have the flu. I thought I was getting it too, because I was coughing, aching, had a runny nose, and had a fever of 100, but the next day I had no fever, just a cough and runny nose. IS it possible I could have such a short bout of flu, or do I have something else? If a bf...

Want to go out but don't have anybody to stay with your Little Angel??! I am generally available to babysit every day and sometimes on weekend days or nights. I am a responsible, safety-conscious babysitter who loves children. I have babysat children ages 6 months - 10 years old, and I'll be...

Shamelessly lifted from the Midwifery Today newsletter: A Finnish study of 484 babies aged 7 to 18 months revealed a correlation between pacifier use and increased risk of ear infection (acute otitis media). The children were assigned to one of two groups: one group's pacifier use was restricted...

Just found out our 15 month old twins have an allergy to eggs. Doesn't look overly severe at this point, but we're doing a strict elimination diet for them, and are hoping they'll outgrow it (We don't have a history of allergies in either family so hope that the chances are good.) I've been doing a...

is there normally a growth spurt at 2 wks? seems early to me but Anna turned into the non-stop-super-sucker this week, wanting to bf constantly and being very cranky at night from 9-12!! She doesn't spit up frequently like my son did so i figure she's just a hungry gal and isn't getting...

Moo boy is 5 months old and most often sleeps on his back with his head facing the left. In his sling, he prefers facing left and now we have started to look for it, he is mostly looking left. He's got a flat bit on the back of his head too. We took him to a cranial osteopath today who said that...

Hi, I had never heard of this until this newsgroup. I live in the UK, and have never met 1 single person that either tandem nurses or nurses during pregnancy. I waned to ask a few thing, as I always waited till breastfeeding had finished before getting pregnant again, because I always thought it...
