Just a quick question for all you moms out there! My daughter is just over 6 months now, and I rarely feed her by bottle, however I still need to express milk (or I'll blow up). At what age is it safe to stop sterilizing the pump and bottles/nipples? I'll still do it, however was wondering if it...

My daughter is 6 months old and started solid food a few weeks ago. She had been starting to show a lack of interest in nursing prior to starting the food, and I was advised to begin the cereal/veggies....Anyhow, she currently does anything possible to avoid nursing during the day. The only time...

Done bfing DD that is. Not that she realises yet :-). I realised this morning that I had refused her 3 or 4 days in a row and that I didn't want to let her nurse again. There's been a bit of moaning and whinging for a couple of minutes each day but we've had a cuddle and she's been OK then. So...

"Irish Marie" wrote I think I have a mental block understanding the logistics ;-p Ok, if I pump in between feedings but the baby wakes up sooner than expected will there be a problem with him getting enough milk at his next feed? I don't think so at this stage. He might have to work a bit...

"shaz" wrote Hi all, I was given a book a while ago called The New Contented Little Baby Book by Gina Ford, I flicked through it and get the general gist of what it suggests, I was wondering if any one on here has read and tried to follow it and what you thought? It seems very strict...

Hi all, Like many of you, I finally moved from the .pregnancy newsgroup to this one!!! My son is just 4 weeks old and although he drinks breastmilk, it is pumped and he drinks it from the bottle. I don't know if this is related to my question but just for info. He is a very quiet baby, hardly...

Does anyone know the current status of products such as Dufrais vinegars and Branston pickles which previously had the Nestle logo. Now they state that they are made by "premier ambient products". Is this company affiliated to Nestle at all, or can I now buy these products? thanks john

My 7-mo-old has never wanted to nurse as often as he "should" (e.g. instead of 8-12 times a day as a newborn, he was nursing 6-7 times a day) -- but he's always gained weight well and if I try to feed him more often, he gets pretty upset! Now that I'm trying to introduce solids (started about a...

It seems like it's really hard to find info about what is "normal" for breastfeeding an older baby. There's tons and tons of info about newborns -- how many feeding are normal, approximately how many minutes babies typically feed, etc. I know every baby's different -- heaven knows my baby didn't...

I've recently switched nursing positions from cradle or cross-cradle to side-lying, which seems to be more comfortable for both DS and I (hooray)! My concern now, though, is that DS has started latching on quite shallowly, and I can't seem to persuade him to do it any other way. I actually think he...

Olivia is 13 weeks and doing well! She has a bit of a pattern to her sleeping now ... finally ;) She sleeps the first stretch about 5.5-7 or so hours and then wakes every 2.5 to 3 hours after. We are usually in bed for about 12 hours all told! She takes a great 3 hour nap a day and that is...

I have a 6 month old baby girl that is totally refusing to feed during the day. She latches on fine at night time when she wakes, but not in the slightest bit interested any other time. I'm getting a little worked up about it now, I've thoroughly enjoyed breasfeeding this time (only managed it 6...

My 3 month old baby girl will not sleep in her crib. She will slp everywhere else at anytime except she will not slp in her crib. As soon as I place her in her crib she will wake. What are some of the things that I can try in order to get a good nights slp for both her and I?

I've had a lot of trouble with my c-section scar, one way and another, but I thought my hassles were ended in the last few days when the incision healed and the infection went. I'm feeling a little run down generally, and my doctor wonders if I have an ulcer, as I have had severe stomach pains for...
