Am I the only one who finds this easy? by
Nina
I've never had a problem breastfeeding my kids all the way to about 28
months. I may have needed advice or suggestions on some things, but for the
most part it has been easy as pie, and I've enjoyed it. Is it just me??

Book Recommendation by
Amy
I'm only 50 pages in, but I have to recommend "What No One Tells the
Mom" by Marg Stark. Her other book, "What No One Tells the Bride"
basically saved the first year of my marriage, and this one is every
bit as good. I wish I'd had it months ago. I've just had a very
personal, and yet very HUGE...

Bragging Time by
New York Jen
I took Laszlo for his 2 year well toddler check up today. He's just under
32 pounds and they couldn't get an accurate height reading because he
wouldn't cooperate, but the shorter end of what he measured was 34 1/4
inches and that puts him in the 50th percentile.
The pediatrician said that his...

Have milk, but it won't drain by
Lady Penelope Creighton-Ward
Anyone encountered this problem: the breasts are filling up, I can feel
the ants crawling along the side, the baby has been latching on
perfectly (per lactation consultant), yet not a drop of anything is
coming out, and I've had to start feeding her formula. She's four days
old.
I've just rented a...

Newby by
Tig
Hi there,
Im a newby ... just came from mkp.
In a couple of days I will be induced, and so therefore I am reading up as
much as I can on breastfeeding.
Now, I've read a lot, and done a lot of thinking as to what I want to do. I
am going to breastfeed, but I am also going to formula feed as well...

1st Newborn Doc Appointment by
Carol Ann
Morgan had her first doctor's appointment today.
Here's the breakdown:
~The hospital miscalculated her length. Today she was 20.5" so that means
that she was NOT 19" at birth. Seems she is in the upper percentile for
height. YIPPEE!!
~She is 7.9 oz. That is up 1 oz from her birthweight.

Hospital policies! Any suggestions? I need advice. by
DeliciousTruffles
A bit of history:
I'm 37 and attempting a VBAC (sectioned because twin 'A' was a footling
breech) in a regional hospital. This means I am considered by them a
"high-risk" and they will section me at the first sign of trouble
because they are not equipped to do a section immediately (it would...

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...

What does breastfeeding advocacy mean to you? by
Mum of Two
There is a lot of debate raging on parenting bulletin boards about
breastfeeding advocacy, how it should be done, why it's necessary, if it's
necessary etc. It seems like a lot of people are offended by BF advocacy
itself - or what they perceive it to be - and as such there is a bit of a
backlash...

You'd think I'd know this one but it has been quite a long time since I've

So my question to all you cloth diapering mommies out there is...just how

As usual, I have been having computer problems. This time it is two viruses

probably be close to that before I get it back.

co-sleeping and SIDS by

I read an article in the paper this morning about a two-week-old who died of

requiring by law that 1) all parents be CPR certified before leaving the
hospital and 2) that all parents of infants must have a baby monitor that...
