I feel like a genius! by
V.
I was all set to write another "help me!" post because Madi is just not
taking to the bottle well and I start work in a couple weeks. We've tried
different brands of nipples, different people giving her the bottle, using
the car seat, etc. She would either just gnaw on the nipple and some...

need source for breast milk storage bags by
V.
Well, my little Madi (10wks) has started daycare and despite the fact that
she generally refused to take a bottle from me or my husband (but would take
one from my mom when I was away), she's doing great with the bottle at
daycare! Although, she will only take it from the head infant teacher...

infant vitamin supplements by
V.
At our 2 month checkup, the pediatrician recommended that we start giving
her a multivitamin. Actually, she recommended vitamin D supplementation b/c
we live in Maine, don't go outdoors right now unless completely bundled, and
Madi is quite fair skinned. She also said that she recommends giving...

ambien, melatonin or valerian? (also, hypnosis) by
V.
I'm taking a poll. :)
Seriously, I'm a lifelong insomniac and although I experienced a temporary
"cure" through new mom exhaustion I'm having trouble again. Curse of the
baby who sleeps well, I guess. *duck*
I do coping skills/relaxation, etc., but it's to the point that I need some
extra...

supplementing pm feed with EBM by
V.
Madi (5.5wks) nurses almost constantly all evening, which I understand is
normal. However, she seems to get little milk from this (no audible
swallowing sounds, no "milk stupor"). I figure this is b/c of both her
constant nursing and evening slowdown of production. Due to soreness, etc
before...

5wks...better, but more questions! (pumping and child care) by
V.
So, Madi is now 5 wks old, and you were all right....we are "over the hump"
and bfing has gotten much better. Thanks to all that replied with help on
the latch issue. It's still not perfect, but better. I found that I needed
to pay more attention to angles....the angle of my nipple in her mouth,...

how to get her to open her mouth? by
V.
Well, I'm feeling much better! My nipple soreness is no longer "grit your
teeth and whimper", but more like rubbing a bruise. Also, Miss Madeline had
gained a pound over her birthweight at our 2 wk Dr appt!! So, I'm sure
she's getting plenty of BM.
Although the LC and nurses at the hospital said...

thanks! and more newbie questions... by
V.
Thanks for all the advice earlier! Makes me feel better that things seem
normal so far!
We do nurse to sleep almost exclusively, although sometimes she will nurse,
sleep for 15 min or so, then have the cute "awake" period. At the end of
that she either nurses to sleep again or falls asleep on her...

newbie questions by
V.
I had my baby! Madeline Gale (Madi) was born 11/29, 6lbs14oz!
Nursing is going well so far. She seems to have read the same books I did
b/c even the difficulties have been typical and solved readily by stuff I
learned here! Sore-ish nipples still, but I think it's just reg. "breaking
in" type...

Breastfeeding lowers risk of mother developing diabetes by
V.
Here's an msnbc article about a JAMA article stating that women who
breastfeed for a year have a 15% lower risk of developing type II diabetes
later. Each additional year of breastfeeding lowers the risk by 15%.
Interesting!

"bad" milk causing vomiting? by

My 5 month old had an episode of violent vomiting at daycare yesterday.
They said she ate normally, took a nap and when the caregiver picked her up
she vomited three times in rapid succession, and it sounds like it might
have been projectile vomiting. She came home, took an extra long nap (45

fussy baby at the breast? by

I'm sure there are tons of possible explanations for this behavior, but I
just need some reassurance that it's probably not a low supply issue and
some ideas of what it could be. :)

daycare. The past few days she has been...

Triggering colostrums and milk flow by
username
I'm embarrassed to ask this, and I'm glad that no one can see me blushing,
but will my husband's propensity to suckle my breasts stimulate early milk
and offset Mother Nature's time clock? I'm in my eighth month and I'm
worried that his sucking (Coitus is against doctor's orders) is...

Question about baby poops... by
Usenet Fan
I posted recently about green poops. I called the ped about it and
they asked me if it was diarrhea.
This may be a naive question, but since breastmilk stool is so loose
anyway, how is diarrhea different?
BTW, the ped thinks DS is just processing a virus, and told us to
check in again next week....

Stocking Up Before Returning to Work by
Usenet Fan
I have to return to work the first week of May. I'll be able to pump
once I return. It's a pretty flexible environment and they provide a
nice room for pumping.
I know I should have a decent supply stocked up and frozen for DS when
I do go back to work.
He eats just about every 3 hours like...

Thrush treatment and pain relief by

I'm two days into Nystatin treatment for thrush. DS wasn't showing
any symptoms at his checkup, but at my six week checkup, I told the
midwife about my shooting nipple pain and she said that it was likely
thrush. So we're both being treated (I have cream, he has oral
liquid).
