DS is nearly 11 mo. I feel like he's REALLY cut back his nursing in the last few weeks, started sleeping mostly thru the night suddenly around 10 mo (YAY after Loooooong haul to get there) will nurse 2 or 3 sides between about 5 am and about 8am, usually nurses to sleep for naps and bedtime, seems...

Ok, I'm starting to accept that DS's nursing interest may not rally, and that his schedule might be a bit "random" (He nursed twice this afternoon outside of naptime, unheard of for quite a while now. Nursed to sleep for nap and bed. Didn't nurse yesterday at all, iirc.) Do I need to worry about...

any reason NOT to use cow's milk if he's only taking about 4 oz at bedtime? *I* will happily be the one to fork out the cash for organic formula, if it makes more sense. :-( Dawn

*g* I have PCOS. DS was likely my only prior ovulation (and I have the ultrasound to prove I had a follicle (like DS wasn't enough), but since his birthday, I have had regular cycles, and suspected I was ovulating....this "cycle" was weird, but I decided to chart (haphazardly). tomorrow I'm...

i'm not sure if I'm angry or offended or disgusted or all of the above. The new Prevnar ad on the radio: Little girl's lispy voice talking about her brother, who "mommy cries when she talks about", who can't hear or walk right because he got sick. Female "voice over" about how this doesn't have...

Got DS weighed today....22lbs 10oz. A bit more than I expected, but not much. 31 inches long. The public health nurse asked if I was measuring him for his carseat switch, and I said yes. WITHOUT ASKING what kind of carseat I use, she said "well, he's fine to turn around" How ironic is *that*...

well, **I** think it's great news.... :-))))) I just got the call from my RE and.......my progesterone says I ovulated!! Which means I probably have been for the last 5 months!!! **happy dance** Now just to find out how to monitor my PCOS aside from that. but still, nice news for me.

.....so as not to jinx it. DS nursed 3 times today, and has ben quite actively bringing me the shield and although he's still putting his mouth to my breast without "latching" most of the time, he hasn't nursed this much for about a week! Maybe it was just a strike.....*fingers crossed* Wonder...

no, not me. Friend going in for surgery, has decided to wean her baby over the next month or so, baby currently 8+months old. Asked at our LLL meeting how to wean kindly, got dozen reasons not to wean. Still plans to wean, still wants to do it as gently as she can. Baby is quite "addicted" (wants...

Is this all I have to do to prevent the next go-round? Dawn

DS is just figuring out how to get into sitting position if he ends up face down (he doesn't crawl, so can't put knees under and go, has to sit, then one foot down, and opposite hip/thigh to move...FAST), and how to roll over at night and sleep on his belly. Today's been a long and busy day,...

DAMN Sprog just toppled from toilet to edge of bath, smushed his nose...I was RIGHT there, damn damn Do I need to make second ER trip in two weeks (last week was stung by wasp) or is there something I can do here??? I will take him if he's not ok, but I'm worried as it's bleeding a *tiny* bit, and...

DS did a solo "launch" today for the first time. I went out of the room we were in, and suddenly wondered who was walking into the room.....DS!! Until today, he's only walked if he was "launched" by holding the back of his shirt and then letting go when he started off. Today he's been walking all...
