A call for help! (co-sleeping research needed) by
Em
(crossposted to MKB & MKP)
I found out at my LLL meeting tonight that the SIDS taskforce in town is
mounting an effort to have co-sleeping deemed a hotlineable offense (i.e.
you can be reported to the Division of Family Services *Child Abuse* hotline
for co-sleeping with your baby!). Anyway, as a...

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??

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...

Question: regaining lost milk supply? by
Naomi Rivkis
My milk is going, if not already gone! I've been
drinking Mother's Milk tea and nursing or pumping as
much of the time as possible lately to try and
stimulate more of it, but it's been slowly dwindling
anyway and I don't know if it can be saved. I suspect
dehydration and semistarvation as the...

Is It EVER Okay to Let your Newborn Cry? by
Carol Ann
I just can't get Morgan to sleep without me holding her or having her suck
on my breast constantly.
I am really going crazy. Is it EVER okay to let your newborn cry in her
crib? If so, for how long?

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...

co-sleeping and SIDS by
Leslie
I read an article in the paper this morning about a two-week-old who died of
SIDS. His mother is using the tragedy as a springboard for a campaign
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...

Oops . . . by
Leslie
As usual, I have been having computer problems. This time it is two viruses
that ate my hard drive. I have been offline for over a month, and it will
probably be close to that before I get it back.
And I really miss "talking" to everyone here . . . and I need some support
right now . ....

arguments about feeding by
teapot
My 6 week old is back on hourly feeds. He feeds himself asleep and
then he is really awake when I try to get him off the breast.
The argument is, do we
a) drop everything (eating, peeing, sleeping) and feed the baby as
soon as he cries
b) try to distract the baby so there is a longer gap and he...

Dehydration while nursing by
Ryan
My darling wife has become sick today. She is concerned for our nursing
5 month old and I'm posting on her behalf. (She is a regular here; a
lurker, however.)
We are not sure whether it is salmonella from eggs with runny yolks she
ate 12 hours before onset of symptoms, or if it is the flu from...

I totally flunked my Postnatal Depression test :o( by

Turns out despite my efforts the dreaded postnatal depression is back.
I really though I wasn't going to get it this time. My health visitor asked
lots of questions and I do have it again. I knew deep down inside, but I was
ignoring it.
I have never treated PND with meds before, and I won't, just...

cosleeping and crawling by
jake's mom
Hi all,
For all of you cosleepers--how do/did you all deal with your little one
crawling in the bed? DS is 7 months old and cosleeps part of the night with
me--then part of the night with DH. I go to work in the middle of the night
so DH has him alone in bed for half of the night. We are both...

paper diapers that don't leak? by

I'm using cloth, but I'd like to use paper diapers when I go out...and I'm
*considering* switching when I go back to work and my son's in daycare. But
every paper diaper I've tried leaks. The (diaper service) cloth diapers
with the Pro-Wrap or Whisper Wrap covers rarely do. Does anyone...

OT - appetite stimulant for a 7 yo? by
Cheri Stryker
DS1 has always been a picky eater, but he used to get a decent quantity.
Lately, though, he barely eats anything. He's still gaining height,
and a teeny tiny bit of weight, but it's getting me really worried. He
asks for 2 hot dogs for lunch, and only manages to eat 1/2 of one.
He's currently...

OT "Let me hold the baby" by
Cheryl S.
Why do some people not take no for an answer when they want to hold your
baby? We were just at an extended family holiday party and DS was
freaked out by all the noise and strange people. I spent most of the
time we were there standing and swaying in a quiet corner soothing him.
I knew if anyone...

Hi all,
I'm delurking to ask a question.
I have a 2 year old (nursed until he weaned himself at 15 months :( )
and an 11 week old.
My midwife suggested a Depo shot and I'm considering it but wanted to

concern. Any complaints?...
