I need some help. Katie is 2y 4 mo and still bfing to get to sleep (nights, nap & sometimes in the morning.) I really need to get this kid weaned. She has started waking up at night again. I'm too tired at 4am to deal with her so she ends up in our bed for a snack and sleep. Then of course I'm not...

I have a friend whose son bf for almost a year and from birth only bf for 5 minutes at a time. He is now really BIG and healthy! Annie Zach, 15.5 mos "Judy King" wrote in message ... Hello, my 3 day old son feeds for only five to...

The Caterpillar is well. :) She's 14 pounds, 12 ounces, up from 12 pounds, 4 ounces at 2 months. 2.5 pounds in 2 months doesn't sound like a big gain to me, but it took her from 75th percentile up to 80th, so I guess it was plenty. :) New ped weighs clothed and diapered, versus old who weighed...

Happy 3rd Birthday to Christine's (little bunny fu-fu) Daniel! I hope you have a wonderful day! :-) -- Brigitte aa #2145 edd #3 February 15, 2004 http://www.babiesonline.com/babies/j/joshuaandkaterina/ "Readers are plentiful; thinkers are rare."

I was prescribed "Lamictal" today by a neurologist because of an abnormal EEG and "blackout" episodes I've been having for over a year now (new doctor, I didn't like the old one I was seeing). Is this safe to take and continue BF my 6 month old son? I really want to keep BF. I've made my 6 month...

brief history:- started off exclusively breastfeeding, there were some weight gain issues, but we solved them, then when ds was 17 weeks I was admitted to hospital due to postnatal depressions, after a week in hospital his weight had dropped 3oz and I was feeling awful, we started to give formula,...

I've introduced myself before and posted a few times lately but I thought a more official hi was in order. I am breastfeeding number two who was born last week on the seventh. He was a big boy (10lb 2oz) but I had an easy birth and recovery has been a dream. Breastfeeding has come very naturally...

For some reason I have been meeting alot of Moms my sons age who don't breastfeed. I met this woman today who's son is the same age as mine, 5 months. I asked her if she breastfed and she said she couldn't be bothered. She had no good reason other than she just didn't want to bother with it. She...

Hi everyone! I am having a major problem. I am overweight and have bben doing the low carb (not Atkin's) diet to loose weight and have had great success. I am also beasrfeeding my little one who is almost 5 months old. Lately (the past couple of days) I have been feeling bad. I am...

DAMN Sprog just toppled from toilet to edge of bath, smushed his nose...I was RIGHT there, damn damn Do I need to make second ER trip in two weeks (last week was stung by wasp) or is there something I can do here??? I will take him if he's not ok, but I'm worried as it's bleeding a *tiny* bit, and...

I know it's normal for babies to feed continuously for a couple hours in the evening. DD did that, usually from about 7:00 to 10:00 every evening. I wouldn't have a problem with that. DS had been doing that, but over the past few days it's been getting longer and longer - starting earlier and...

Thank you so much for the Happy Birthday post. It didn't show up on my regular server (I think I miss a whole lot of posts) but I found it on Google. My little Isabella had a great birthday with a huge party (we have a big extended family) and a trip to the beach. Thanks again, Amy Isabella's...

My Grandmother makes me crazy. Some of her ideas on how I should be raising my son truly scares me. I'm amazed that her kids turned out as well as they did. Thank God my Mother is supportive and encouraging of the choices I make in my parenting style. Just a few of her gripes: ~I don't like my...

We just got home from DS's seven-month WBV (okay, his six-month visit, one month late!). DS turned seven months this past Wednesday (10-8). The stats: At birth he weighed 6 lbs 14 oz. and was 20 inches long. At 6 weeks, he was 10.2 lbs, 22.25". Ten weeks: 13 lbs, 23.25". Today: (drumroll)...

Just another 'would like to know' type of question. If the number of nursing sessions are decreased from several per day to 2 per day (without pumping at other times), will the supply adjust itself so that it will only cater to those 2 nursing sessions? Or will the supply wear off and completely...

My 5 week old son has times when he clearly wants to suck, but doesn't want to eat, especially after a nursing session in the middle of the night. I'd really like him to take a pacifier (the only way a finger works is at a certain angle, and it can be uncomfortable for me after a short while),...

Ok, I'm 13ish weeks pregnant with my first, so I might just be borrowing trouble here... I'm applying for (and have a decent chance of getting) a full time job. Currently I work part time, and our plan had been for me to essentially stop working when the baby was born. Taking this job would mean...

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...
