For the past month my DD has been stretching out her day feedings. Along with this she has been waking and feeding more at night. She has been waking every 2 to 3 hours. At some point I know that she will start sleeping through the night again, but I was wondering if part of the problem is that...

This one may sound a bit weird but it really makes us laugh - just before bedtime, our whole family likes to cuddle up in bed and maybe watch a bit of tv. dh usually wears no shirt and we can tell when ds2 is getting tired because he will lift my shirt to nurse although he wont concentrate...

Has anyone out there initially had a lot of trouble letting down for a pump and later learned to do it? (Or should I resign myself to never being able to?) Any tips? I tried an Avent Isis, then bought an Ameda Lactina (= Purely Yours; it's known as Lactina outside the US it seems) in the hope that...

My dd is 8 weeks now. We had a slow start (which mirrored the troubles I had with my first dd), but with the help of fenugreek and domperidone we have made it this far. I also still eat oatmeal 2x a day. I also took blessed thistle inititially, but cut it out with no ill effects to my milk...

I recently started using cloth diapers on my son who is now 6 months old. The first time I used them his runny breastmilk poop got all over his dipaer cover. Any advise on how I can prevent that so I don't need to change the diaper cover every time he poops (which is almost everytime he eats and...

maybe it's just me, but my milk flows much faster than the bottle, especially with a let down. it seems like I am trying to drown my DD sometimes. she gets very frustrated id she has to suck more than once or twice instead of just swallowing. She's 7 weeks old. I'm hoping this will taper off...

Just to share about health article that may useful for pregnance women... http://all-cancerdisease.blogspot.com/

in posting this. I have to be quick though. She was born on 9/20 and weighed 7lbs and 14oz. She is adorable; she looks a lot like her brother did when he was a baby. She nursed successfully after delivery. And has been a champ in that department since. We had a couple of rocky minutes after she had...

OK, Madeline's hair is now long enough to be getting in her eyes, but not long enough to really stay back when brushed. She's only 8 months, but had a few inches of hair when she was born. I bought some "baby" size barrettes, and then realized that she could choke on them if they came out....

Madeline is now 2 months old...how time flies! She weighed in at a nicely average 11lbs, but is a lanky 24 inches long (95 %ile)! Anyone have advice about car seats? At this rate she will outgrow the infant seat by height well before she meets the weight requirement of the toddler seat I had...

My daughter turned one on Friday, and we are still nursing up a storm! misc.kids.breastfeeding is where I first realised what an important thing breastfeeding is, that it can be hard, and that I might need to persevere. While we've had a pretty uneventful year, and I have mostly been lurking, but...

So far in the Bug's 4 and a half months on Earth, aside from mum milk she's had nothing but a few doses of tylenol and mylicon, and perhaps a bit of bathwater here and there. Last night as she was nursing off to sleep I looked at her and realized that every molecule of this little human being --...

(Not cross-posted, but posted several places separately.) There should be a special hell reserved for people who drag 10 week old babies on cross-country roadtrips, and one feature of that hell is the presence of a 10 week old baby on your cross-country roadtrip. We set off at 6am on the 7th,...

Im hoping some one here can help me. My baby is 13 weeks old and has only been breastfeed. I work full time, I can not scale back my hours and I can not get to my baby at all during the day to nurse. She is now drinking 22OZ of EBM per day and there is no way I can pump that much. I have taken...

Why they won't/can't make a breastpump as effective as a baby? I use lactina at work but I heard even that isn't really as effective as nursing. I know the formula companies just won't make a good one but what about Medela et al? I for one think that their pumps are overpriced so why not make them...
