Hi, Could anyone offer any help or advice on breastfeeding after having a piercing removed? I took out my nipple ring over a year ago but am still getting like a 'core' thing coming out if squoze and to be honest it doesnt smell too pretty (EW gross! Way to stop people replying) I've seen my GP...

BREAST SUCCESS IS THE ANSWER For years, women of all ages have suffered embarrassment from having small, sagging, or underdeveloped breasts, which often leads to low self-esteem. Until now, breast enhancement solutions required expensive and often dangerous cosmetic surgery. Finally there is a...

HOW TO TURN $/£ 6 INTO $/£ 6,000!!!!!! Remember: play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will really work. I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little while back, I was browsing through newsgroups, just like you are now, and came across an article similar to this that said you...

I'm going to be working part time within the next month and I want to start stroing milk for when I'm away. I don't know when I will start or how long I'll be away. Are there any tips that someone may have about when to pump or how often so that I can get some milk stored up for DS? Also, he...

I went back to the doctor tonight as my sinus infection has moved down to my lungs and the erythromycin is not working. After discussion with the doctor, he prescribed 2 medicines - entrex PSE (which is guarfesine and psuedofed and I think ok for nursing) and levaquin which he said is not. He said...

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...

A friend of mine has recently had her first baby and she emailed me that he has never learned to latch properly. They have stumped four lactation consultants so I thought I'd try here. Basically the problem is as it says in the subject line, he chomps instead of sucks, although he will suck on a...

When my big kids wanted to be picked up, they would hold up their arms and say, "Hold you," which I thought was pretty cute. When Lorelei wants me to pick her up, she says, "Arm." I guess she means she wants to be in my arms. :-) Leslie

Lorelei's first birthday was Thursday. We did not do anything special on the day, but last night we had a dinner party (that's our first birthday tradition--we have certain parties that we do for each year for every child). There were about thirty people and we had baked ziti and bread and salad,...

This is probably going to sound like a crazy question to be asking at this time (with Lorelei being 11 months old!), but . . . Lorelei's diapers are just never that wet. Never soaking, never leaking, even overnight. Barely even damp to the touch, sometimes. (We use cloth, btw, just regular...

Today I finally found a girdle to try to control my bulging baby stomach under the bridesmaid dress for my sister's wedding. I was showing it to Emily with William looking on and he said, "Is that a new bra for the Bas (i.e. breasts) to sleep in?" Leslie

Hi. I'm back again for my weekly date with my husband's office computer and I thought I'd let y'all know what's going on. My husband and I went out together on Tuesday night. I just couldn't stand him not knowing. It had been a whole week af just me carrying around the secret. So after he had...

As usual, I have been having computer problems. This time it is two viruses that ate my hard drive. I have been offline for over a month, and it will probably be close to that before I get it back. And I really miss "talking" to everyone here . . . and I need some support right now . ....

William has a very active imagination and loves to pretend. He especially likes to pretend that I am the baby and he is the mommy. So yesterday he said to me, "Come on, Baby. It is time to go to church." Then he took my hand and led me toward the den. I said, "What will we do at church?" He...

What an adorable story! Reminds me (in a backwards way) of how William used to call cow's milk "cow ba" (ba being his word for nursing). Leslie

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...

I read an article in the paper this morning about a two-week-old who died of SIDS. His mother is using the tragedy as a springboard for a campaign requiring by law that 1) all parents be CPR certified before leaving the hospital and 2) that all parents of infants must have a baby monitor that...

William, age 2.5, *has* to twiddle on one breast while nursing from the other. I wish I had put a stop to the habit when it was first beginning. A few days ago, I nursed him after he was playing in the yard. Apparently, he had been playing in . . . POISON IVY. HE didn't get it--but I have it all...

That's wonderful, Laurie! How time flies. I remember you first being pregnant with Jessica and here you are a mom of two! Leslie Emily (2/4/91), Jake (1/27/94), Teddy (2/15/95), and William (3/5/01) http://www.babiesonline.com/babies/o/onemoremakesfour/ "Children come trailing clouds of glory...
