Solo pumping possible? by
Slave
Hello all,
I was wondering if it is possible to breastfeed via pumping only? How would
that effect the supply if one only pumps into bottles? Isn't there some
important aspect of breastfeeding with the baby on skin to skin that
increases supply? I am battling this question with my SIL. She...

little weight gain between 8 months and 1 year by
Rosie
Should I be worried about this....
DD has only put on 4 oz in the last FOUR MONTHS!
I've not had her weighed for AGES but we were at the dieticians a couple of
weeks ago and she weighed and measured her.
Her height has gone up from below the 0.3% (we're a SHORT family!) to the
9th and her weight...

Does this sound like mastitis? by
AlenasMom
My breast is covered in red streaks, it's warmer than the other breast,
sore as hell, and it hurts to the point of tears when I nurse. :*(
What should I do?

The inevitable just happened... by
Cheryl M. \(ChatBrat\)
.... three weeks shy of Jaslyn's first birthday, she took her first two
unassisted steps. My life as I've known it has officially come to an end!!!
The coolest thing is that DH has been away. He arrived home late last night
and we both witnessed "the grand event" moments ago. It's like she...

My Zoloft saga by
zeldabee
I've posted here about the fact that I've been seeking some kind of help
for PPD (or maybe just depression, whether it's necessarily post-partum or
not). I was on a medication that wasn't compatible with BF (Doxepin) until
I was about 7.5 months pregnant, and stopped taking it specifically so...

2 oz cup? by
Rosie
Does anywhere sell a 2 oz sippy cup or similar?
I'm so tired of putting 4 oz of stuff into DD's cup only to have her refuse
all of it. If I put 2 oz in, she can't work out how to drink it.
It's costing me a fortune in prune juice. :)
It would also be perfect for ebm - seems like a real gap in...

Hello, just a quick question. My lochia stopped completely at about ten days
post partum. The a few days later it started up again as heavy as a period.
It bleeds for a few hours then stops. The weird thing is while I bleed I
feel really low and weepy, cry most of the time for no reason and have...

Hales lookup please! by
Amy M.
Could someone with a copy of Hale's please tell me if Advair (for asthma) is
safe while breastfeeding. My doctor is of no help at all. He's never heard of
Dr. Hale (@@) and thinks the only tool of reference is the PDA! UGH!
Thanks!

a cold, allergies, or just teething? by

My son got his first tooth on Oct 10 and was pretty much fine with it.
However, yesterday he started getting now-so-well (I don't want to say sick
since he's not too bad).
He has a runny nose with clear mucous, his eyes are red and watery and he has
little dark circles underneath them, and he had...

Caterpillar has a drink of water by

When she has her bath, Caterpillar (4 1/2 months) gets her
own two-handled cup to play with. Otherwise she wants to
play with the cup I use to wet and rinse her with. I
usually give her some clean water in it to play with, and it
goes over the side and over her chin and everywhere but in

milk went bad by
K.B.
I just defrosted some milk that I pumped a couple of months ago. I was
going to make my sons cereal with it. I noticed it was all curdled. I
smelled it and it was bad. I just took it out this morning and I freeze it
as soon as I'm done pumping it. Why could it have gone bad. What a waste.
