I've been having some shooting breast pains-thought it might be thrush but the doc said we didn't have it so what else could it be? Not engorged or clogged ducts-is this normal?

Is there any difference, are the disposable liners not suitable for freezing EBM? Eva Huld.

Hi. I pumped some breastmilk before, and want to keep it in the fridge and add more milk to it in the morning and then freeze it. I was just wondering, I just put it in Avent breastmilk freezer bags, and put it in the Avent Bottle holder and in the fridge. I didn´t take the air out, that is just...

5 week old Meg has been having green poop, gas, irritability and a little bit of nasal congestion off and on for a week (and today). Today she worked herself up into the first real crying fit of her life. Prior to that, she had been huffing for the breast constantly during the afternoon, and I...

She was a little stuffy for the last day or two, and now has a runny nose. She's been coughing because of all the drool collecting in her throat, but now she's coughing more because her nose is draining. Ah-mah says it's because we don't dress her warmly enough and don't change her the moment she...

Can anyone tell me if there are any adverse effects of paracetamol given to babies? cheers teapot

I feel pathetic for even asking this, but... Tomorrow DH is having some guys over to watch 'the game' and I have 4 hours to myself, but I can't think of anywhere to go!! How sad is that? So, where would you go and what would you do if you had 4 hours to yourself, but not in your house (and you...

DS has continued to refuse to nurse on my left side today (has only nursed on that side once in the last 26+ hours - at 4:00am). I pumped 4 oz before going to bed last night but was still somewhat engorged by 4:00 am. I have no way to know how much he usually eats. How much should I be pumping...

Hello there, I am wondering if anyone knows of any other baby news groups? I like being able to come here and see what others are doing, get advice, give advice etc.. But I have had to give up breastfeeding sooner than I would have liked so it makes me a bit sad reading all the BFding posts to get...

Pillbug's eczema is now cleared up and I'm on a strict no-dairy diet and he's using no soap in his bath. Amazingly, this has helped his sleep! He basically sleeps from 7:30 pm to 5:30 am. Before, though, he was waking up every TWO HOURS to nurse, so I was being slowly destroyed over the months.

Our dd (almost 10 months) has started to want to suck more and more in the past couple of weeks. I often find her laying in her crib sucking furiously on her hands and fingers. Early on she had no interest in a pacifier, but lately she really seems to enjoy using one now and then. My question: ...

.....so as not to jinx it. DS nursed 3 times today, and has ben quite actively bringing me the shield and although he's still putting his mouth to my breast without "latching" most of the time, he hasn't nursed this much for about a week! Maybe it was just a strike.....*fingers crossed* Wonder...

Following on from a previous post where someone was saying that their co-worker quit cos they didn't have enough milk, I was wondering how many mums really have a low milk supply as opposed to just thinking they do. Having read recently that in some parts of the world grand-mothers relactate to...

I can't run on no sleep, I really can't and now the kitchen roof is leaking, There was nothing I could do for teh moo last nigt that would make him happy, we are both miserable teapot

I was wondering how long breastmilk is good once it has been taken out of the freezer and thawed in the refrigerator? I have read several different answers...most often I have seen 24 hours. Does the 24 hours start once the milk is completely thawed, or once the milk leaves the freezer and goes...

can a lactating woman breastfeed even his husband?

Well, I guess I've kind of turned into a lurker, seeing that I hardly ever find time to post any more. But.... Christina is signing!!!! She made the milk sign yesterday when I was getting ready to nurse her. And then today, she signed to me at the restaurant when she was tired of cheerios and...

DD (almost 10 weeks old) is a beautiful, healthy baby. She eats very well, is very smiley and happy, poops and pees as she should and is growing mentally and physically. So the breastfeeding is working, and I do feel great about that. Our trouble area is the sleep department...we are a mess...

Well, thrush it is. I was without a doubt, but the trip to the doc confirmed. We were given nystatin, and I am to take oral diflucan. We have a pacifier rarely used, am throwing it out and will replace if necessary. He hardly uses it, but don't want to need it and be without. On the upside, baby...
