The thread on whole milk got me thinking...once a baby weans (either
weans by themselves or "forced"), if they are allergic to dairy, what is
the fat that they can take to help brain development instead of the fat
found in whole milk?
Dairy fats are *not* much like the fat in breastmilk...

6 hours!!! by
Jo
Last night Will went to bed at 6:30pm without his normal bedtime routine
- he had skipped a nap and was very tired. He fell asleep being cuddled
by dad with the dummy, and I was sent out to buy take away for dinner.
I got home to see Will asleep on his playmat, and I thought, ok, we're
going to...

to be implantation spotting.
I got a +ve hpt last Thursday (5.5 weeks after a D&C at 9w1d), but wasn't
sure if I could...

I don't get it, why do you HAVE to cut a boy's hair just because
it gets long. Do any of you ask your son's if they WANT to?
Erm.
He's 10 months old today.
I COULD ask him, but his English is pretty limited.

OK, so here's the story. (a bit long - sorry)
Gave birth by csection (after a 20 hour labor - ugh!!) 19 days ago. At
first, DD was a great nurser but by day three when my milk wasn't
coming in, we had to go to finger feeding as she was losing too much
weight. Took me almost 8 days for my milk to...

Its started :( by
A&G&K&H
In the past 2 weeks a few family members have started making noises about me
weaning H (14 mo).
I guess I'll have to start putting together some good comebacks.
Usually I ream off the WHO recommendations, but I need some other comments
for a particular family member who will always say something...

NIP in church? Appropriate? by
cjra
I was shocked when I read on another chat board a woman - a young
woman, in her 20s, who says she NIPs herself - stated that it was
inappropriate in church and was offended when a woman did. And what's
more, many people agreed it was the one place where it wasn't
appropriate.
I'd think it was the...

Fontanel as Hydration Indicator? by

I've read or heard in various places that a sunken fontanel signifies
de-hydration. Of course my husband and I lightly touch our darling son's
fonatnel throughout the day and of course it feels slightly recessed at times
and level with the rest of the skull plates at others.
Over the last four...

Hi,
My DS (12 days old and 3 weekd before due date) seems to want to sleep
more than 4 hours at times. I have to wake him up to nurse and most
times I am unsuccesful in waking him up. When he does wake up, he
normally only nurses for about 10 minutes on one breast and that's it.
He has plenty of...

Poor Caterpillar (7 weeks) is horribly broken out. She has

nursing shirts? by
oregonchick
Is it "essential" or very helpful to purchase tops that are specific to
breastfeeding? I don't have any, and I was just thinking about how handy
would it be to just lift up the shirt? Do you invest in "nursing" clothes
or just adapt?
