Ok, so despite my dire warnings of horrible things to come if we give certain solids too early, DH just has his own agenda. He hasn't given Christopher anything really bad like peanutbutter or chocolate, but he's been slipping him things that, well, don't exactly meet my approval list ;) Last...

Hello all! I'm sure this has been brought up many times before, but I was hoping for some advice. First some background: my baby girl is 5 weeks old and was 5lb 11oz at birth (not preemie -- 39 weeks gestation, just small, but perfectly healthy). We had a HORRIBLE time breastfeeding the first...

Okay I can't think of anything that can come close to how angry I am about this. I wrote TLC and hope a few other mums do the same. I would love to see some of the dads here write as well. http://www.beliefnet.com/story/194/story_19451_2.html Jo

This Sunday is our dd's Christening. I know that all babies cry, and if dd acts up during the service she certainly won't be the first or last...however I'm hoping we can make it through without a major explosion because when she cries, she CRIES! For various reasons I choose not to BF in church...

Morgan is 21 months old. She has had a cold for 2 weeks and began to throw up and have a fever so I took her to the Pediatrician. Her normal doctor is not in so we saw another one. She was diagnosed with a double ear infection. Well, the conversation we had left me kinda stumped. She said that...

The thread on whole milk got me thinking...once a baby weans (either weans by themselves or "forced"), if they are allergic to dairy, what is the fat that they can take to help brain development instead of the fat found in whole milk? Dairy fats are *not* much like the fat in breastmilk...

It had been in the freezer for 6 weeks and I thought my birthday would be a good a day as any to eat the thing. I was a bit put off by some photos on the web when I looked for recipes but when it came down to it, it was an amazing thing to look at. The umbilical cord was there, cut off where my...

I just thought I would spread this little bit of information, but I'm not sure if I believe it or not... My husband was watching the news the other morning while we were getting ready for work. They usually have a topic for preg mom's and expecting daddy's, mostly about dieting, and nutrition,...

little background here. A friend of mine recently had an emergency c section and she had one heck of a time delivering the baby. now they are doing fine. the baby stayed in icu for few days and for the lack of knowing better they gave the baby a bottle and guess what! ended up with nipple...

Friend of mine and her bf are splitting up.... he wants custody. Baby is 8 months and bf... He wants "equal time" before the hearing... and said, "If she wants the baby breastfed, she should pump and send milk along. I was weaned at 3 months and I'm fine." beats head against any hard...
