Hi, sorry to be a pain again, but could some kind person please tell me whether an antibiotic called something like fluelaxacillin is safe while breastfeeding? He says it is, but I wanted to check first. Saturday night DH & I both got lots of gnat bites. Sunday morning his were mere specks,...

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

When we took Caterpillar for her newborn hearing testing at the health department, we were offered the opportunity to get mailings and surveys on child development. I figured there'd be no harm in that, but now I'm starting to wonder. We got the "4 Month" handout today. Nearly half the thing is...

I've been having more pain than normal when nursing on the left side for the past week or so. I'd attributed it to doing more nursing lying down (which is more uncomfortable than any other position, but gets me more sleep). But last night, I noticed a little dark spot on the nipple on that side,...

Hi all! A friend of mine weaned her DS 9 or so months ago, but she recently noticed that she is leaking again (not that "press the breast and you'll see a drop", but leaking without pressure - enough to soak her clothes) and she can even feel let down. Does anybody have any idea what is going...

Hi! I wasn't getting anything through so I asked my ISP for help and they think they may have fixed whatever was broken. If you see this original post, would you respond to the newsgroup? I would really like if any/many people see this. Thank you! -- -- Vicki Married DH May 21, 1995

hi all, DD is 11 1/2 months old and in the last couple weeks she's gone from nursing for a couple minutes while on the go, back to longer more drawn out feedings. It's kinda nice because we have our cuddle time back. She's also refusing all solids. We've been practice feeding her since she was...

Not sure if any of the Canadian here are in the area, but I just received a flyer from Region of Peel, and there is going to be a celebration Saturday October 4th. There will be a special Guest Speaker - Penny Van Esterik, La Leche League Canada, Annual Walk for Breastfeeding, Picnic, and at...

I've been waiting all these weeks for those telltale rumblings that mean there's actually somebody in my tummy, and this weekend Pez was making him/herself known! I had forgotten how long you know you're pregnant before you actually FEEL the baby in there and the anticipation was making me nuts! I...

no, not me .... My best friend has just had a bad bout of mastitis and is trying to get her supply back to normal without risking engorgement. (Her DD is roughly 12 weeks old ... but very small as she was 5 weeks premmie and with IUGR). My friend isn't a big eater (thin as a rake) and so hasn't...
