Last night our 4 1/2 month baby cried so hard in the car that he started choking. I knew something was wrong while I was driving because he just suddenly stopped crying. Thank goodness his grandma was sitting in the back seat with him. She said something was wrong and I needed to pull over. He...

The following are different answers given by school-age children to the given question: Why did God make mothers? 1.-She's the only one who knows where the scotch tape is. 2.-Think about it, it was the best way to get more people. 3.-Mostly to clean the house. 4.-To help us out of there when we...

I've been away from MKB from quite some time now since my kids are older. I have a question for my friend whose OB prescribed zoloft for ppd. She won't take it for several reasons. Her pediatrician told her it wasn't safe for nursing and her husband seems to have some bias against antidepressants....

My six month old is just at "that stage". He is really hating being left on his back, he's not able to sit up by himself, and he can't be on the couch because he's really good at rolling over, which means he'll fall off. (I can't really sling him for very long, because my back is too ruined...

DS2's been doing a couple things I've been wondering whether I should worry about, so I thought I'd ask here if they were common. Firstly, he sometimes seems to aspirate the milk, when he's eating. He'll be eating, and then pull off and coughs, definitely sounding like he swallowed wrong. It...

We mostly hear about "toddler formula" on TV around here, so I thought I'd share a positive development: Pampers disposable diapers is running a commercial that shows breastfeeding! It's from the back, yes, but the mother's shirt is definitely open, with the baby cuddled to the chest. ...

On "Play with me Sesame" (a version of Sesame Street more geared for interactive play), Ernie was just wearing his baby sister in a front carrier. Yay! -- Cheri Stryker mom to DS1 - 7 yrs, and DS2 - 4.5 months Check out my new breastfeeding T-shirts on CafePress! ...

In the discussion about drying pump parts recently, mention was made about hermetically sealed paper towels. While not criticizing any attempt made to keep such an important item as clean and sterile as possible, it got me to thinking about germs, and how people react to them. How do folks...

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...

I figure the folks here probably have dealt with a wide variety of health issues, as well as BF'ing, so it can't hurt to ask... My 6 yo, who is currently taking both strattera and concerta for ADHD, has had a recurring problem with throwing up in the AM. It's happened 2 times this week, and 2...

I go out to the mail today, and what did I find, 6+ weeks after I've given birth? A big box of formula - "A free gift for you!" And just in time for the 6-week growth spurt, too! So much for trying to clean up my language around the kids. I wish I thought it would help to complain to the...

My newest son, Harry, passed his 3 week mark on Wednesday. At his check on Tuesday, he had gained a pound over his birth weight, and diapers are all looking good, so we're not too worried about him, at the moment. BUT: after clortrimazole and gentian violet, my boobs are still killing me, but in...

Baby Harry had a great suck his first few hours, but then was so sleepy we got a bit sidetracked. His latch was poor, I got very sore, he ended up getting quite dehydrated, so we supplemented for a few days until my milk came in. About day 4, we cut out the formula except for when my nipples hurt...

I figured this might be a better forum to ask this in than the preg. group - this group is currently diapering! I'm about to sign up with a Diaper Service, and I can't decide which covers to get. Last time I used Gerber wraps, but I'm pretty sure they've had the waterproofness washed out (too...
