Hi folks, Given how much I have to chase #1, I've decided that #2 is going to have to be a sling baby :). (DS didn't like the OTSBH we had, and I never tried very hard with him.) A good friend who had a baby at the same time as DS had a Maya wrap, and it seemed to work really well, so I thought...

Hi, my cousin lives in Loughborough and has just had her first baby a few weeks ago. I don't know too much about the situation, and I'm not really in contact with her much, but my aunt told me that she's having a hard time feeding, he's not attaching properly and she's bleeding a lot so she's...

Okay, I just got back from a playgroup, and there's an LC there who I think might be blowing smoke. A woman with a 4-month old was talking to her about giving her son some solids now, cause he just started wanting to nurse at night after sleeping through for a while. The LC said that it was okay...

can you reply to this if you can see me, please? i have sent two posts recently with no replies at all & i'm starting to think i am the invisible girl or i've p*ssed everyone off! -- elizabeth (in australia) DS - born 20-aug-02

I always post pictures of my baby but never comment or compliment any one else's.

Greetings folks. My son is now two weeks old, and after a difficult start we're finally coming along on the breastfeeding front. I have one nipple that's somewhat inverted, so it's been more of a challenge to get him latched on that side, and it's more sensitive and thus more painful. While it's...

I have a couple of white spots on one of my nipples, they are not plugged ducts as there is milk coming out of them and no blockage behind, they are a little sore, but not excessively so, any ideas? Anne

Moving right along . . . DS (2 months) has a few white dots inside of his lower lip. Looks almost like stuck-on spit up. They do scrape off with persistence. I expected patches with thrush, but these spots are small. My end of things isn't very helpful, or maybe it is? BF has been not painful...

I don't have anything to do with this company other than I love their pump! I've owned an ISIS and a PY and I've used the hospital grade Hollister pump. I have to say Whisperwear rocks! Does anyone else have one? It's so awesome! I have 2 free hands, I'm not tied to an outlet, I don't have...

Surely there have been more uses with opinions on this by now. What do you think? I'd really like to get one.

I've been working on getting my DS off of supplementation for quite some time. We were having what seemed like nipple confusion issues a few weeks back and I looked into sippy cups but then he started nursing okay again. I didn't know what to buy, so I just dropped the issue. Well now I'm...

i trim and file our 3mth old nails regularly but she still manages to scratch at night. recently she had some really bad scratches near her tear duct. i am worried she could damage her eyes the alternative is to put the mittens on again but i am worried these do harm to her hands.they are always...

Hello everybody! I have been researching diaper rash on misc.kids.breastfeeding and on other places on the net. I am a bit confused which foods should be avoided. To start from the beginning: My little one is breastfed and he has a constant diaper rash. We use both disposables and cloth and there...

delurking Hi, Dd is nearly 4 1/2 months old (14 lbs, 9 oz, 26") and we have been using the Graco Travel System Quattro Tour™ 7411. The Graco website says that you can only use the car seat until the infant is 26" or 20 lbs and dd is 26" so I need to start looking for another car seat. Doesn't...

Hi, My midwife and child health (Plunket) nurse have given me totally different versions of how to feed in terms of which breast when. (Maybe both their advice is right but for different stages in his development.) Midwife: Alternate at each feed, i.e. one breast for 2-3 hours, then...

Does anyone know where I can find both domperidone (Motilium) and oxytocin (nasal spray)? Thanks!

I'm scheduled to meet with the surgeon on September 4th to have my gallbladder out, having finally had an attack bad enough (and during office hours) that I was willing to call for the appointment. I'd like to get a copy of Hale's to take with me, in case either of us have any questions. ...

I've heard some of you mention a newsgroup or list for AP, does it still exist? If so, what is the name and/or info so I can join it? Thanks, LB -- Lisa L.W. Besko SCNC Voice : 517-432-4040 Systems Analyst SCNC E-mail : SCNC Support Voice :...
