I have been using mine since the 3rd December, and had a strong fern pattern for 2 days, then the pattern has changed to transitional (less ferns and dots). I am feeling ovulation-type pain today. Has anyone used this method while breastfeeding? -- Andrea mom of 5 - latest addition Kamron David...

Got to the hossy, waited 2 hours, doc takes one look and tells me he is fine go home! He didn't check him over. He said fits are common from babies brains that are developing!? I haven't seen it before in a developing baby. I was told to return if he had another fit. I feel better for having it...

Hi, long time no talk. :) I've got a little one due in late September, and looking around for what we're planning on doing when the time comes. My first girl is 4 now (and nursed for nearly two and a half years, if anyone is keeping score. :) Anyway, a friend of mine sent me a link to...

Well, I put in my guinea pig three weeks with NuvaRing, and since a lot of women here seem at least marginally interested in it, I thought I'd share my experiences. First, a recap: NuvaRing is a flexible ring that releases estrogen and presterone. You insert it vaginally, leave it there for...

The converation on hormonal birth control at 14 mos. has me wondering. My situation is: On the mini-pill, DD is 14 months old, no periods yet (for me, and of course for her, too ;). But I've had the odd bit of cramping and almost unnoticable spotting, so I'm thinking ovulation may have returned....

Here's the link: http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/07/27/nursing.cover.ap/index.html The stance of this article kind of annoys me, because it structures the discussion as being between "Well, I try not to show too much boob" and "Ew, gross." Does anyone else have a take on it?

Did anyone else catch this? http://www.cnn.com/2006/HEALTH/06/08/food.allergies.reut/index.html This article bugs me on so many counts I can hardly articulate. First there's this: "At three months of age, according to parental reports, 14.2 percent of infants had adverse reactions to food, while...

Erin is now 3 weeks old.. we thought she may have colic at first, but she doesn't cry non-stop. She feeds, then shortly after latching on and sucking she is full of wind, I burp her and she vomits enough that I need to use cloths to clean/catch it. Then she cries and wants the breast again...

Well I am breastfeeding again, but this little girl has a tiny mouth.. Kamron had a large mouth, and we did well. Erin latches on well with her top lip but not her bottom one. I am raw and tearful. Was thinking about using my pump for some relief... Andrea mom of 6 now...

Erin Elizabeth made her entrance into the world on the 26th October weighing 7lbs 11ozs - and what an angel she is! After vomiting all day I had another check up..

I kept on trying to feed Erin. I rang the La Leche League for advice. Until Erin grows and can open her mouth wider this problem doesn't have a magic cure. She is trapping my nipple against her hard pallet. I did buy a mini-electric which isn't enough for full time pumping so am renting a hospital...
