teapot
We took Moo boy swimming today and afterwards I settled down to
breasteed him, nothing unusual there, a few people do, some with
bottles, some with boob. Us parents were talking afterwards about
weaning and I said that I was going to wait until Moo was ready for
it, we talked about how we'd know...

Fight with a friend by
AlenasMom
Yesterday I was at the dress fitting for my friend's wedding. One of her
bride's maids is really uptight and "socially correct" about everything.
All the dresses are being custom made, and when we were talking about how
my bodice will lace up the front, she asked why. I told her it was because
I'll...

another thing - white milky discharge and anal rash? by
cjra
Thanks to all for humouring me through my many paranoid new mom
questions. Here's another -
first, most of DDs other 'symptoms' have subsided. She still has the
face/neck rash but it's gone way down. She's eating well, fussing less,
etc. So I'm inclined to think there's no regular food intolerance...

Is letting a baby sleep on your chest a big no-no? by
cjra
I've seen elsewhere people comment that they're 'bad parents' for
letting their baby sleep on their chest (I have asked there as well).
Is this like sleeping on the stomach and another SIDS risk?
DD *always* naps on my chest during the day. It's the only way to
assure a nap that's greater than 30...

calorically dense toddler snacks? by
Hillary Israeli
Anyone have any tips for calorie-dense toddler snacks? My 15 month old
daughter isn't gaining weight well and I need some ideas. She only has
four teeth (incisors only!) which I think is why some things, like cheese
cubes, tend to go into her mouth for a while and come back out as a
softened glob...

It's over by
Mum of Two
My partner admitted last night that our relationship of 6 1/2 years is over.
I'll have to try and change my work days so that he can have Ana on his days
off. I'll still have her nights but I guess she'll cut out her lunch time
feed on the days he has her. Not that that really seems important right...

how long does it take for your milk to dry up? by
oregonchick
I am working on stopping the pumping altogether. I just don't want to do
this routine anymore. I won't go back to breastfeeding either, so I'm
trying to "dry up". But I have no idea on how to go about it. I am only
pumping every 6-8 hrs, but still put out over 16 oz every time, which is
almost...

Bleak over a baby (semi-OT) by
Beth
Hi,
Just thought I'd unload about the gathering I went to the other day. A
friend's 2-month-old was there and I came away feeling so odd after seeing
how he was handled. He was asleep in a bouncy seat when we got there, then
was laid on a blanket after a few minutes' dandling when he awoke. ...

Yet another "ready for solids?" by
Akuvikate
I know people post questions like this all the time, but...
The plan is to start Bug on solids at 6 months, which will happen in 3
and a half weeks. However I'm really beginning to wonder if it may
not make sense to start a bit sooner. Why I wonder:
1. I gave her a index card to gum and drool...

What causes mastitis? by

I wound up with mastitis for the first time - and my nurseling is
nearly 2 years old! I thought it was rare this far into a

Second bout of mastitis -- what can I do about this? by
Carlye
DS will be five weeks old on Friday. I had one bout of mastitis,
beginning when he was 9 days old. I had a second bout (different
breast) beginning this past Saturday, when he was 29 days old.
First, since it's a different breast this time, am I safe to assume
this is an entirely different...

worried about the future by

Before ds was born I intended to nurse him through the first year, it
hadn't occured to me that longer might be good. Now I'm better educated,
it's best for him to carry on longer and I intend to let him self wean.
The problem is my mum and my friends, they all think I am nuts, they
already think I...
