Over the last few days, when DD attempts to nurse on my left side, it is very painful. Keep in mind that she is almost 17 months so she know how to do this, and the right side is fine. I keep unlatching and relatching, but we are getting to the point where the feeding have been cut back (on...

I don't think I've seen this addressed before, so here goes: DS, who seems to be mostly weaned (tho he did nurse a few minutes yesterday morning at about 5:30 am, which is the longest he has in weeks) has been going through lots of changes lately. He got his big boy bed a few months ago, is...

It said to make sure the baby's nursing implements wouldn't break and that the nipple was firmly attached before feeding... Aparently I turned pale. DH read it, looked at me and told me I'd better hope not. Later on they refered to glass nursing implements, and I couldn't stop laughing thinking...

https://www.handybaby.com/index.php?content=gallery.php I saw an article on this 'great' new product in the Irish Independent Mothers and Babies Supplement today, and all I can say is that I am shocked! There is bf, ff and then this which is the most uncaring, bad parenting tool in the world...

DS is almost 12 months old. He has never taken a bottle well at daycare and nurses a lot at night (we co-sleep) I used to have an over supply problem but now I notice that I'm "full" less and less. At night, DS will switch sides rapidly. I'm told this is an indication that he can't get enough...

Well its day 4 of solids. Or more truthfully, it's day 4 of meticulous preparation of extremely nice vegatables and the splattering of every surface with the same. Moo got about 1/4 of a teaspoon of potato in today without spitting it out. He's not overly impressed and I get the feeling that he...

My son is 4 weeks old and I am breastfeeding. So far so good, but I think I am ovulating. I usually know when I do and it seems that I may be getting my period soon. Last time I did not get my period for 3 months. Does this mean my milk supply will decrease?

Hi, I started giving my 7 1/2 month old baby some solids at about 6 months of age (cereal, jarred baby food). She hasn't been too excited about that, and just ramped up the breastfeeding (we are back to every 2 hours at night, sigh). Anyway, last week I gave her an arrowroot baby cookie to play...

Untitled Normal PageCould someone please tell me if my 5.5 month old daughter is cover by me having the flu shot. I can not get a answer from anyone, including my doctor, her doctor, our insurance company etc... I have been lurking in this news group for over 6 months now, and never had to post...

15 months on and here we still are. Just once a day now - first thing in the morning and there was me thinking the one before bed would be the last one to go. I'm sure other children sense the milk in me - had one little chap resting his head on my knees this morning as I was talking to him mum at...

http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/health/story.jsp?story=471501 -- Andrea mom of 5 - latest addition Kamron David 6 months still nursing strong with 2 teeth!

I still have a problem with my DS, I nurse one side and switch. how do I know when he is done? He will not let go! for five mins, some times less I feel full and hear allot of sucking and then it gradually slows to a fluttering tongue and one suck every 30 to 60 seconds some times with a swallow....

This past weekend I began running a temp which averaged about 102.7 and hit as high as 103.8 a few times. I had terrible, violent shakes and chills. Called my OB as I suspected my tear might be infected. Knew it wasn't mastitis as my breasts were not painful. Doctor and I went through all the...

Your input is appreciated -- Meg has cradle cap. It started about two weeks ago on her eyebrows and is now quite prevalent on her head -- I have read both that no treatment is necessary, and read that it is worth a trip to the doctor (the Mayo Clinic book from State Farm). I have tried soaking...

If this is a growth spurt, I will be relieved. My DS has been eating approximately every 45 minutes (during the day) for the last 2 days. I'm becoming exhausted, and nothing soothes him like nursing. Part of me is a bit concerned that he's overeating. He is already almost 18 pounds at 3 months,...

These robbers are dangerous, they steal breasts lightning-fast ! So better wear steel or titanium bras or full body armor to protect yourself.

I really hate to even ask this question, but to be fair, I feel I need to. Much to my dismay, I'm starting the night shift on Friday. I'll be working 7 pm to 7 am 2 nights a week. Christopher still eats a couple of times during the night, likely more out of habit and cosleeping than out of...

My breasts are dense and painful and I can only express yellow milk and not much when I pump.. Right now, my daughter is only getting some milk, not enough so I supplement. I was 2 weeks early delivering her and it seems the milk never came in. I try and pump when I can. She is low birth weight...
