Formula at night by laurie
I really hate to even ask this question, but to be fair, I feel I need to. Much to my dismay, I'm starting the night shift on Friday. I'll be working 7 pm to 7 am 2 nights a week. Christopher still eats a couple of times during the night, likely more out of habit and cosleeping than out of...

A disheartening experience by laurie
I was at work the other night (I work at a hospital), and had been told that there were two LC's on staff in the OB department, one on days and one on nights. I had met the day nurse/LC last week. Because the hospital is so small, there are often no OB patients and the OB nurses have to float to...

This is really not fair! by laurie
Christopher still wakes up at night, a few times in fact, and I end up sleeping with him half the night. He loves it, I like to snuggle, no big deal. Though I certainly would love it if he slept through. I know he's waking out of habit, but I just don't have the energy to fix it right now. So, I...

Update on Christopher and working nights by laurie
It went much better than any of us expected! The first night he woke up for hubby around 1 am, cried for 5 or 10 minutes when it wasn't mommy that came to get him, completely refused a bottle, and fell back to sleep until about 6 am. Not great, but not horrible by any stretch. Then last night he...

When did you start dairy? by laurie
I've read mixed reviews about when it's ok to start dairy such as yogurt, cottage cheese, regular cheese. Not milk, I know not to start that until a year. I've read that 9 months is ok if baby has no allergies, is this ok? laurie mommy to Jessica, almost 3 years and Christopher, 9 months

I'm finally back! by laurie
After a month of being offline, being homeless and unbeliveably stressed for a few weeks, and finally settling into our new home, I'm finally back online, with a brand new computer, new name, the works. Everyone is doing great..........we're settling into life in the country. The first few...

Heard a neat song today by laurie
I heard a great song today by Marc Cohn called "Healing Hands", and there is one line that I just thought was so perfect- he says "I touch your skin and it is smooth as silk, just like a baby drunk on momma's milk". After that, I kept thinking about how perfectly that describes the connection...

Yikes! Major biting attacks! by Laurie
I know this is a fairly FAQ, but I've done all the normal suggested things and am still having problems. For about 10 days now, Christopher has been biting me like mad. It hurts. A lot. He has 2 bottom teeth. I've tried saying "NO!" loudly and putting him down, he always laughs. I've tried pulling...

Need major help for daddy!!! by Laurie
We need ideas!!!!!! As many of you know I gave up a new supervisor position at work and cut back to 4 hour shifts as Christopher wasn't doing well with me being back at work. It's been 6 weeks now, he takes a bottle great and I had to start doing 8 hour shifts tonight. It was hell. He cried...

Micronor and supply? by Laurie
I know they say that micronor doesn't decrease supply, but has anyone had a different experience? About a week or two after I started it, when my son was 10 weeks old, I did notice a little change; I had been dealing with major overactive letdown, which tapered off. I know that can taper...

Solids; 4 months vs 6 months? by Laurie
Just to preface this, I have absolutely NO desire to start Christopher on solids at anytime in the near future. He certainly isn't showing any signs of readiness, and the thought of him even being close to old enough bums me out!~ :) He'll be 4 months old next week! That said, things are truly...

A few pumping questions by Laurie
Just a few quick questions. 1) I'm back at work. :( I have to start 8 hour shifts this coming week. If I'm only able to pump once during the shift, will that hurt my supply? I work 3-11pm and he would normally eat probably 3, maybe 4 times during that period. I can feed him when I get home,...

Very fussy after bottles by Laurie
Christopher is normally a very happy, calm, mellow baby. I have made the connection now that probably 4 of the maybe 6 or 8 times my hubby has given him a bottle, he's had a long screaming fit a couple of hours after. This is so atypical of him, it happened tonight, and i finally realized dh...

Out of control appetite by laurie
This can't possibly still be from BF at 9 months, can it? My appetite is seriously out of control. I eat everything in sight. I feel hungry a lot, but I admit, I'm just eating because I want to a lot of the time. I think it has a lot to do with stress, I've probably gained 10 lbs since I moved 3...

Planning to formula feed by Lauren
Just interested in opinions here on the point of planning to formula feed even before a baby is born (or perhaps even conceived). Unplanned pregnancies and exceptional circumstances aside, I can't help but wonder that if it is too much trouble for a parent to even plan to attempt to breastfeed (or...

Treating yeast infections correctly is critical by Laura[_2_]
Yeast infection can be a persistent condition, as many of us have experienced. If your symptoms recur again and again even after they have been treated successfully, it could be that the infection never went away in the first place. It was - and possibly is - always there, waiting for an...
