Hi, Everyone!!! I notice quite a few familiar names from misc.kids.pregnancy. My EDD is Mar 22nd (8 Days from now). I'm having my first child, a girl! Let's see, I'm 40, live in Georgia and am going to breastfeed! I missed the Breastfeeding Basics class, unfortunately. I will rely upon what I...

Morgan is 21 months old. She has had a cold for 2 weeks and began to throw up and have a fever so I took her to the Pediatrician. Her normal doctor is not in so we saw another one. She was diagnosed with a double ear infection. Well, the conversation we had left me kinda stumped. She said that...

I am so miserable. Can I take this? The pharmacist says it is similar to Robutussin, and he can't see why it would harm Morgan, but what do you think? -- ~Carol Ann http://tinyurl.com/b9e9r Pics of Morgan

Just wondering where everyone is from!! Me? I live in Columbus, Georgia! ~Carol Ann Mom to Morgan 3.24.04

Is it possible for my child's teeth to be turning gray from breastfeeding to sleep? She is nearly 2 (I can hardly believe it) and I plan to have her completely weaned when she turns 2 (traumatizing as it will be for us both). Her teeth appear to be turning gray. Could it be from BFing? ...

Well, I've finally hit the 2 year mark and want desperately to wean. I realized tonite that I really need to have help from someone else for a few days. Looks like my mother will come in during the evenings to help put Morgan to sleep so that I don't have to nurse her. We had cut down BF to just...

Okay, I can't take it any longer. I'm starting Medifast on May 1st (sooner if the shipment arrives). I'm going to also continue to breastfeed Morgan to sleep at nite. I haven't heard anything negative about it. Any advice?? ~Carol Ann

Well, it's been 2 1/2 years now. I still BF to sleep (naps included). I feel I need to wean her now. I'm confused by HOW since we co-sleep. Any advice? ~Carol Ann

I finally had my "cycle" resume. Interesting how it came back right as I'm considering weaning. ~Carol Ann http://tinyurl.com/b9e9r ---- Pictures of Morgan

I think it's time to start weaning. I really am fighting this, but feel it is best for us. What suggestions do you have to start this process? I don't want to traumatize her. We co sleep and I've nursed her to sleep from the start. ~Carol Ann

A friend said she would not bf b/c of her implants which she said may leak? It doesn't seem logical. What is your take? ~Carol Ann

First of all, thank you soooooooo much Dagny for calling me at the hospital. Your advice came in handy over the following days with regard to breastfeeding. I unfortunately had to have my phone turned off by Friday due to lack of sleep. I think they forgot to turn it back on. Okay, so if you...

Morgan had a good nite. She slept for 2 - 3 hours and I was able to sleep and then during the day I was able to catch up on my bills. Now, however, I cannot console her. She keeps showing signs that she wants to feed, but I know she is full. I believe she has gas. So, Kevin is working on...

I just can't get Morgan to sleep without me holding her or having her suck on my breast constantly. I am really going crazy. Is it EVER okay to let your newborn cry in her crib? If so, for how long? ~Carol Ann

I'm purchasing Happiest Baby on the Block. What others do you recommend? I have What to Expect the First Year (though I can't seem to find it) and the Toddler Years.

Tell me again that it is okay to co-sleep. I'm worried that I may smother Morgan. ~Carol Ann

How long were you able to use yours? Do you recommend any other type of co sleeping bed? ~Carol Ann

I am part of a mother's group who is having a Fall Festival at the end of the month. We are in a crunch to get Crafts done for the decorations. I would like to have ideas for children of ALL ages to do . We are going to have a local tv station covering our mother's group so we want it to be...
