"VV's mom" wrote in message ... I'm going on a trip which involves flying time of 18 hrs. I want to breastfeed my 6-month old on the flight. I was wondering how to to breastfeed discreetly on an airplane. Any ideas...

my daughter is 16 months old now, and her latch has gone really, really bad. no matter how i work to get her to open her mouth up wide to latch on, she closes her teeth onto my nipple and seems to rest her top teeth in my skin. i was toughing it out but i realized recently that my left breast...

So, I'm approaching my one-year mark with my second nursling (!!!) and while I am of course thrilled to have a healthy baby (almost toddler!) with a healthy appetite and love of mama's milk, and I am thrilled to be able to provide her with breastmilk as a source of nutrition and comfort, I also...

Hi, Delurking for some help please ... Background info: Dd has been sleeping 12-13 hrs for the past 3 months straight through (8pm to 8am). She nurses on demand, usually every 1 1/2 hr during the day (about 9 times). She is eating 2 cubes of food 2 x a day (for 6 weeks). She does have a tooth...

Once I defrost ebm in the fridge overnight how long is it good for? If I defrost it in a jug of hot water do I have to use it straight away or can I refrigerate it? If I offer ds bottle of ebm (after heating it up, he won't take them room temp) and he either refuses it or only takes a little bit,...

Thanks in advance to any of you who can help me with these questions. My daughter (our first baby) is 2 weeks old...bf is going well and she's gaining weight and producing enough wet/poopy diapers, but I do have some questions... 1. (sorry-graphic) Should her poop ALWAYS be the golden yellow,...

I got a Motherwear cataloge and the stuff looks nice. However, I haven't been wearing nursing clothes and I'm wondering if any of you have and, if so, whether you thought they were worth the money. On the one hand, the clothes look pretty and my tummy will be covered when I nurse (good for the few...

Alena's almost 13 weeks old, and I'm still leaking all the time! I'm getting to the point that I just don't care, and if I'm at home, I go bra-less. I've also been dealing with super-letdown lately. I don't know why really, but what can I do to stop it? (It's bad enough to spray across the...

I think Alena's teething, and for some reason, my breasts are aching! What can I do to fix this? -- Lina Alena born July 1st, 2003 www.maternalinstinctscanada.com validate the email address before sending.

We're taking our annual road trip vacation to Woodstock, Vermont. Last year we hit Woodstock, NY and Saratoga, so I guess we have some strange affinity for Woodstocks? Not sure exactly, but DH read about it and a friend highly recommended it, so it should be a lot of fun. Just curious if any of...

Another poop question! Hooray! ;-) I've had this on my mind for quite awhile now, and because of the advice in the "5 MORE new bf'er questions" thread, I finally just have to ask. Larry and Barbara both said things to the effect that green and mucousy poops shouldn't be standard for baby. When...

What does it mean if the baby doesn't wet diaper much at nights? I change her diaper before putting her to bed (9pm). I don't change her at all until next morning. She nurses before going to bed and atleast twice in sleep at night. We cosleep so most of the time we both are asleep through...

How do I look up a specific medication to see if it is safe for breastfeading?

I am a regular poster at MKP and have been lurking over here as well during my pregnancy. I now have a nine day old baby boy and I have a few questions for you all! First, I was put on Zithromax today due to a persistent cough that I've had since before the baby was born and also because it...

My daughter (16 days old) has been sleeping ALL day today and it's got me worried. This is something new...she usually naps on and off through the day, but I've never seen her sleep like this. Normally she sleeps for 2-4 hours and then is awake and alert for a couple of hours in between before...

It goes something like this.. I put her to bed in crib around 8:30 - 9 soon after she has atleast 4 ounces or ebm. She pretty much passes out after that. Then she wakes up after exactly one hour. Then I bring her to the bed and nurse her back to sleep. Then she sometimes wakes up after one more...
