Just curious for all you mothers out there... at 5-6 weeks old, how much "play time" or stimuli is too much? Latley DD hs been VERY cranky.. hard to get to sleep, etc... The only change I've seen is more "play time"..

Hi, My cousin's baby is 6 days old and healthy. She was kind of going back and forth about whether she wanted to breastfeed and finally decided to start the baby on formula. Now she feels she really wants to breastfeed. Her breasts are very full even though she has used the cabbage leaves and...

Hiya All. I'm pretty much at wits end, so I thought Id introduce myself, and get some advice from the group. To be brief, my son Sam was born 5 weeks premmie. He was quite heavy (7 pounds one), and was allowed on the ward with me. Unfortunately, after the second day it was obvious that latching...

some stuff I read out of another article today, which I thought was pretty interesting - Dummy Myths and Facts. FACT 1: Studies of newborns have shown no evidence of so-called nipple confusion. Babies do seem to be able to suck for comfort on a dummy yet know how to feed from the breast without...

Does anyone have any tips for weaning a 19 month old who is very attached to boob :) ? He is very stubborn and can generally outlast me in a battle of the wills when it comes to feeding, the other night I was up with him for over 3 hours trying to get him back to sleep without feeding and...

I recently started giving Lucy (1 year) whole milk. Do any of you know how long it can be kept out of the refrigerator? Also, after warming it, can you re-refrigerate it and then use it again? Leann

I got my period back Sept. 15th. DD was 11 months. My period was just like it's always been in the past. My questions is, is your period directly related to how often you nurse once you get it back. In other words, if I nurse dd more than usual one month after having nursed her less than...

Hi. My daughter, Lucy, is 10-1/2 months old. I had planned on breastfeeding for 1 year and then begin ttc again. I have supplemented with expressed breastmilk and formula here and there when I could not be available. In fact, about a month in a half ago I went away for 2 days and my mother gave...

Did anyone hear about that family in Oregon who was stranded in their car for 7 or 9 days with no food, and mom kept her 4 year old and 7 months nourished by breastfeeding? I was so amazed by that, especailly since they had no food (I'm not sure if they had liquids or not). Unfortunately, the...

Have any of you heard of, or belong to cafemom.com? I personally love it and there are several breastfeeding support groups. Thought I'd share!

The goal of screening is to discover early cancers that have a greater than 90 percent chance of cure. Most often, the first thing physicians do when a person comes to their office is to take a history. They ask about symptoms that could be related to stomach cancer. A comprehensive family history...

The past week or so, Christopher's been really weird with nursing. He's barely doing it. Like, he may latch on for a few seconds, but that's it. THen maybe twice a day, sometimes three, (usually during the night) he'll eat well. But even tonight at bedtime, he just barely latched on for a minute or...

Ok, so despite my dire warnings of horrible things to come if we give certain solids too early, DH just has his own agenda. He hasn't given Christopher anything really bad like peanutbutter or chocolate, but he's been slipping him things that, well, don't exactly meet my approval list ;) Last...

I promise, I am *not* obsessing or even at all worried, but I've been down this road with Jessica and don't want to repeat the pattern! (disclaimer written as some here will remember how sick with worry I was about Jessica's weight gain a while back!) So, just wanted opinions on if Christopher's...

I started my new job a few weeks ago, and was really nervous about the pumping issue since I'm in a really small town and a tiny hospital, not a lot of staff, that kind of thing. The day before I started I told the Chief Nursing Officer that I am breastfeeding and asked if it would be a problem...

Despite the fact that we've been using it for several months now, I still have a hard time sometimes with the snuggle hold (newborn vertical) with our maya wrap. It is by far both mine and Christopher's favorite position at this point, modified so that his head isn't covered of course (he's...

Jessica is now on a dairy free trial due to frequent complaints of tummy aches. She was milk intolerant as an infant but outgrew it around a year. It's only been 3 days now on the dairy free diet. She didn't have any dairy at all for two days, and then we had company yesterday. My SIL gave her a...
