DS2 is 71 cm long and weighs 9.4 kg. 5.3 kg of this came from breast milk. He's been putting on ~29g per day... No wonder I've lost the baby weight! -- Chookie -- Sydney, Australia (Replace "foulspambegone" with "optushome" to reply) "In Melbourne there is plenty of vigour and eagerness, but...

I'm introducing DS2 to solids, but he's a bit different to DS1, except in that their first solids were grass! Thought I'd forego the rice cereal, as DS1 ate so little of it. Things DS2 HAS eaten: grass paper a small 'Made in China' sticker a little skin and flesh from a raw potato

From the conclusion: Healthy, exclusively breastfed 1- to 6-month-old infants consume 0 to 240 g of milk between 6 and 18 times during 24 hours, with 64% of infants breastfeeding 1 to 3 times at night. The right breast usually produces significantly more milk than the left, and the volume of milk...

I posted little while ago about DS2 not being as enthusiastic about solids as DS1. Well, it all depends on what you feed them... DS1 was The Carbohydrate Kid. To this day he will stuff himself with rice, bread, couscous, pasta etc. DS2, we have discovered, is a wannabe vegetarian. He loves...

This topic came up this morning at our ABA meeting. How do people think that their extended BFing has affected their parenting? I think it's made me a more tactile parent, and more relaxed. Perhaps I'm less focused now on what the baby *ought* to do and more focussed on seeing what *is*...

I loved the beat-up headline... The more time children spent in care away from their mothers, the more likely caregivers were to report aggression and disobedience. I do wonder whether this is a bit chicken-and-egg. If I had a child I had trouble dealing with, perhaps I would be more...

Shelby, from the description you gave I thought, either he has a stomach upset or an allergy. Then you say that he has an allergy, and that at you have been eating foods that you know he is allergic to. If the baby only been unwell since you started using dairy products again, you know what the...
