Since the birth of my son in Feb. I haven't had a period. I was breast feeding and alternating with formula until my son was about 2 months. Then I went to breastfeeding exclusively and still am. My son is 8 1/2 months now. I also started taking birth control 6 weeks after the birth. The pills...

Hi all, My daughter (just about 4 months old) is refusing to feed from one side, and nurses perfectly from the other side. She is exclusively bf and latches like a champ normally. Any ideas what could be causing her to do this? Any ideas to get her back to nursing both sides? Thanks in...

I'm a little surprised that it took DD (26 months) so long, but she is interested in nursing again. She weaned a year ago when I got pregnant with DS, and DS is now three months old. She did all the typical regression stuff when he was born, but overall has adjusted pretty well, and seems to...

I have a thyroid problem. All of the treatment options contraindicate breastfeeding. Am I stupid for wanting to put them off until Rocky weans? He's 16 months old, so most people think weaning is not a problem. But, he loves nursing. We still nurse at least 5x a day. -- Anita --

After 15 months and 11 days our nursing days are over. We were down to one morning feed. William had been showing no interest in the last couple weeks, refusing a few times and most of the rest fussing because he'd rather play with his toys. When he did feed it was very short, at the most a minute....

DD is 9 months and whenever we give her rice gets very constipated. I haven't given her wheat yet as there are allergies in the family so wanted to wait, especially considering how she's been going with the rice. She's also had issues with some fruit and veg not going down well, so it appears...

How warm do you keep your house? How do you bundle up your kid? DO you have any issues once you start using big duvets? We live in South Texas, so it's not like we'll have subzero temps to worry about, but it does get cold from time to time, and dips below freezing. We do have central heat, but...

I knew that, but it was nice to have it confirmed :) We had our follow up appt yesterday with the developmental pedi. Given the circumstances of A's birth and then heavy sedation, there was some concern about loss of oxygen and potential developmental delay due to sedation. The only obvious sign...

My daughter is 6 weeks old, and nursing like a champ. I started pumping a couple of weeks ago, mainly to get her used to taking a bottle - she'll take an ounce or two every couple of days quite happily (and her big brother begs me to pump more often so he can feed her!). I start back to work in...

I gained alot more than I should have with my last pregnancy. I went from 125 to about 170. But through diet and regular exercise, I am back to 127, and a bodyfat % below 25%. But I still can't fit my pre-pregnancy clothes. My hips and waist are bigger than they were before. I guess it's my...

Lorelei has Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease (got it from Teddy, who is 11--don't know where he picked it up) and her mouth hurts so bad that she can't nurse. This has been going on for 36 hours now. She points at her mouth and says, "Hurts." She'll latch on for about a second and then pull off and...
