Well, we are finally moved. We hit some snags and it took longer then expected but we are in the new house now and life is good. I weaned Luke. He asked for num-nums often at first and actually still does on occasion but was not ever upset when I said they were all gone. To be honest...

I have posted several times about how hard bf is and how my kid is constantly on the breast, so I am very excited to post that (knock on wood) we are past that hurdle. For the past few days every feeding is not egregiously long anymore, and just this morning to my amazement I was able to pump 2.5...

I don't recall, is it your dh who is taking care of your ds while you work? If so, and if you really want to keep your new job, then if your ds really won't take a bottle after say 6 hours then your dh can syringe feed him. Your dh may have to go through some hell, but he can handle it. ...

I really want to use henna hair dye, but I read somewhere that once it's on you can't get rid of it unless you grow it out. On another site it says it last 4-6 weeks! I am confused. I really like the idea of using a plant extract on my hair. Also is it safe to use when breastfeeding? Thanks for...

Help! I'm going back to work full-time tomorrow and I though I was all prepared... pump is at work - check frozen milk in freezer - check baby takes bottles - check lots of milk storage bags - check ....but then my DH (who is staying home with the babe) asked me a question I couldn't answer. If we...

I just bought some oatmeal, but I'm not sure what to do with it, I'm sure I've sean a recipe somewhere for apple and raisin oatmeal which sounds yummy, but now I can't find it! I'm not even sure what the standard recipe is, can anyone help? ----------- Anne Rogers

Alena has reflux, which we discovered after she turned blue and stopped breathing on me. Here come the questions... Can her reflux be made worse by the things I eat? If so what foods should I avoid? Is there anything else I can do to help her feel better? -- Lina EDD July 20th, 2003

Hi all, I thought I had 'recovered' from a plugged duct 10 days ago, but now I find I have it again - same place, same breast. After the last one, I had a really sore nipple. An LC said nipple infection, so I am now on antibiotics. But the nipple pain didn't get better after 4 days, so I started...

I am worried about overheating the Moo boy at night but I think he is waking up becuase he is cold. The instructions I can find for cot bedding assume you live in a house with constant temperatures, we don't. It is around 25 degrees in the day time and he goes to bed with a very very thin quilt,...

I seem to have many small letdowns rather than a long one. I read through other posts and people talk about their milk flowing (when pumping) for 45 minutes. I get the impression that other people's milk continuously flows instead of a bunch of letdowns like me. I am pretty sure this is how it...

1. Had a dream last night that someone gave me a TimTam to eat...and it was goooooooooood. 2. Remembered that After Eights a lot of the time don't have dairy in them!!! (I think if they're made in Germany, they don't, but in Singapore they do...just read the label). Got a nice big box for...

Any of you who's baby was born before due date.. do you adjust milestones according to how sooner he/she was born? Like giving solids later than other babies etc.. This is just one example. Or should we follow everything just like the other full term babies. Thanks.

My baby had gas (I think) last night and I gave her mylicon drops. She slept well after that. Is it because mylicon is such a good medicine or does it induce sleep in babies? I always wondered if it makes them sleepy. What do you think? Thanks.

So, how do you all do it? My pediatrician tells me to pump after every feeding. Sounds good in the abstract, but after a feeding, I have to entertain the Pillbug, or change him, or something comes up. By the time I'm ready to pump, it's no longer right "after" the nursing. -- Anita -- Mommy to...
