Woohooo!!!! She managed about 15 mls (1/2 oz) yesterday, which is more than usual, and then BF'd ALL night and for 45mins straight at lunch. Today I had a meeting so I BF'd her at 9am for 30 mins, but didn't get back as fast as I'd hoped so the sitter tried with the bottle, and after a few minutes...

Hi all: A simple question: Can I freeze breastmilk in ice cube trays, then put into freezer bags? I just started my boy on rice cereal and mix it with just a bit of breastmilk. When making foods for him later I plan to use a bit of breastmilk in that too at first, but I don't need a whole bottle...

I am about 3 months pregnant and I have 4 stepson's (one away at college) ages: 13, 13, 16 and 18. The boys reside with my husband and I on a full-time basis. I have a good relationship with all of the boys and they were actually quite excited when we told them that we were going to have a baby...

Oh man it's hard to leave DD. She wouldn't eat much this morning when I left her, so her last nursing session was ~6:30am. I left 3 different types of bottles and told the babysitter to call if she becomes hysterical. She's still got a bit of a runny bottom but not major diarhhea, but her cold...

And DD still won't take a bottle! A friend managed to get her to take 5 mls on saturday. We've tried once since then (were travelling Monday and she had her shots today). We've been trying - tho not daily - since she was 6 weeks old and she's 11 weeks now. She just refuses. She DID take a bottle...

Went in for shots & checkup today. He ended up not getting the MMR because she was concerned about his allergies & we decided just to wait a bit. Alexander only gained 7 ounces in the last 3 months (he now weighs 21lbs 14oz) and that has her concerned. She wants me to add more fatty foods to...

DD started having watery stools on Saturday (we were still in Switzerland, returned Monday). Went to doc for her 2 month shots Tuesday, he wasn't too worried, but they're not getting any better. It's already 5 days now. She didn't have a fever tho did have a slight temp last night and today, but I...

It's me again... Just wondering if anyone thinks I should be worried about static weight in my lil boy. He has been the same weight since 11 months old, and he's now almost 16 mo. Still has chubby cheeks, still night feeds, still doesn't eat much solids. Tonight we are going to try "nini's...

Alright, if this is TMI, I apologize first! For the last little while, I've noticed I do have the first stages of milk already. I'm checking how far along I am because I can't remember lol... I'm 35 weeks today. (Here's probably the TMI part) I have been able to squeeze small amounts of clear...

It's been a while since I've posted here... I have a really bad cold that started yesterday...very sore throat, sneezing, drippy, stuffed up nose, headache and overall poopy feeling. I am nursing DD#2 who is about 7 months old. No problem with that at all...supply is good, etc. Is there...

Hi I having a few problems with nappies at the moment and wonder if anyone could help. My baby is 10 months old and we've been having problem sleepin through the night, one the thing is she poops at about 3 in the morning, but its so bad I have to change all her clothes and the bed, which isnt...

Hi my daughters come up for a 11 months old and Ive breastfeed her on demand since she was born. Lately she only wanted 2 or 3 feeds in the day and even then she not bothered if she has them or not. I havent really thought about when we would stop. However next week Im start a course its only two...

DD 8 months has had a couple of teeth for months but she has only just started biting, about 5 days ago. I can't help an involuntary "ouch" which seems to scare her and sometimes she won't feed afterwards (which means at night and naptime as she normally nurses to sleep, she has just sadly...

DS was born on 9/14/06 and nursed somewhat okay in the hospital. He seemed really gassy and sometimes had a little trouble latching on. Of course, when the lactation consultant came, he latched perfectly and had a nice long feed. Unfortunately we've had problems since we got home. Each time...

Dear All A controversial subject I know but I am researching a paper on male breastfeeding. The highly respected Professor Jared Diamond wrote in 1997 that we could have a future society were men will take equal share of breastfeeding their children. Does anyone have an thoughts, opinions,...

Hi, I'm a working adult. My baby is 3 months old now. Before I came back to work 4 weeks ago, I can pump around 180ml to 200 ml per day in total (pumped twice in office). However, recently, due to heavy work load and didn't pump, now become around 140ml in total. What should I do to boost up...
