Our pediatrician's office called yesterday, to remind us of an appointment we weren't aware we'd made - apparently the ditzy receptionist had her March calendar open when we were making an April appointment. (We'd shifted scheduling so Caterpillar could get her osteopathic manipulation at the...

i have been reading "fresh milk: the secret life of breasts" by fiona giles. it has some interesting things in it. one of them is talking about how people "would rather have milk from some fly-ridden old cow in a muddy field than from your best friend". also, it was talking about wet nurses &...

Some of you will probably remember me posting a few months ago about my cousin with babies 10.5 months apart and my efforts to get her to nurse her newborn. Well, he's three months old now and officially off breastmilk since about three weeks ago (he was combifed from day one). When she told me...

Well we had our two month visit. The boys are doing great! Brock is 14lbs 2oz and 24 inches while Ben is 11lbs 9oz and 23.5 inches. They each had three shots. Brock was ticked off royally about the whole thing. Ben took it a little better. He was really sleepy so went back to sleep...

I'm sure this has been covered here before, so I hope you'll forgive the redundancy -- My little bean is 10 weeks old and about 11 pounds or so. I've tried a couple of different carriers (Snugli, EuroRider) and a "SlingRider" sling, and loathe all of them. The carriers feel like they're made by...

i just realised that my computer had the wrong day on it & the post i just made went through as 31st not 1st. i've fixed it now. hope it didn't confuse any computers too much. -- elizabeth (in australia) DS - born 20-aug-02

Hi all, I've heard this discussed before, so I'm pretty much dismissing this as "bunk" but.... Went to the pediatrician last week, the baby at 5 months is about 17 1/2 lbs....We discussed with the pediatrician when we were planning on starting solids. I told her we were in no hurry. She "seemed"...

did you ever get cavity work done when breastfeeding? were you concerned about the anasthetic getting into the breast milk? thx

It looks like we may be moving to San Antonio in the next few months. I am due 5/22. This is my 7th child and my 6th planned VBAC. I'll need to find a HCP pretty quickly once I get down there. Homebirth is out as we will probably be living a good 30-40 minutes north of SA and that is too far for my...

Hi - Have you taken her in to her doctor to see if there's any physical discomfort that's keeping her awake? Have you tried offering her a pacifier or a bottle (of EBM or water) at night to help her go back to sleep? (The advantage of a bottle is that you can gradually put less and less into it...

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

I am pumping tons of extra breastmilk for freezer, and Emily easily consumes 24 oz in addition. I am drinking 2-32oz bottles of water per day, but also drink upwards of 32 oz of nonfat milk, a diet coke, a couple sugar free cocoas, etc. Is this adequate?

My daughter is about 7months old, and my wife's milk supply is starting to diminish. We started mixing cereal with her milk to bulk it up about a month or so ago, and she took to that readily. We have been trying to find something to help supplement her increasing diet, especially when she is...

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...

To me, it tastes much closer to breast milk than cows milk. The only concern I would have is it has salt listed as an ingredient. DD will be six months old in a week, and I think I'll try her on solids then -- she seems keen. Thanks, Liz

I was wondering if anyone here knows if it is okay to tan in a tanning bed while breastfeeding?
