Howdy all!! I *think* that I survived "dead bird day" relatively unscathed....I say relatively because that is part of my vent.... DD and I are still going strong on BF. Still no bottles of any kind, NIP whenever and wherever she decides she is hungry. I haven't been asked to go to the loo to...

Well, the baby is sick and in the hospital. Since she is totally breastfed this has been a little inconvenient. I have 2 other kids,s o when I go to the hospital they have had to go with me so I cant just stay all day. I did manage to leave and come home and 2 times she was just waking up...

My sister is pretty sure that she has PMDD (premenstrual dystrophic disorder, IIRC). The "new" drug for this is Sarafem, which is nothing more than Prozac under another name. I checked around a bit and I see that Prozac is not generally recommended for nursing mothers. But she has tried Paxil...

I made it! Ruby turned one on Thanksgiving and though I am no longer pumping at work, we are nursing twice a day on weekdays and much more than that on weekends. And she does get up at night for the odd snort here and there. Can't believe it's already been a year! But I am damned glad not...

Along the same line as Kate's Bug and the index card. Caterpillar usually "reads" the newspaper with me, so I gave her a piece of junk mail (a heavy weight oversize postcard) this afternoon while I read the good stuff. A few minutes later, I realized that she wasn't tearing it up so much...

Bleah. I got through an entire pregnancy without being sick, and am all out of practice. Vaporizer and hot water with honey and lemon and ibuprofen and DM cough syrup and cough drops are not cutting it. I'm dying for a dose of Sudafed, but I really don't want to risk a supply dip...

Keflex Thank you!

Haven't posted in a while---back at work and extremely busy. My DS--just turned 6 months on the 23rd--has recently begun waking in the night. He has eaten probably 5 times overnight for the past week and a half(unlike his usual 1-2 feeds overnight). I am exhausted and am praying this is a...

We've had a saga going on for AGES now selling our condo in order to buy a house and we've had 3 deals actually go to contract and end up falling through for one reason or another. DH and I had pretty much decided to stay put now for at least another year because I don't want to move when I'm...

Hello everybody I am currently nursing my 7 week old twins (4 1/2 week prem) and need to start thinking about expressing because I'll be going back to work at the beginning of next year. I have an Ameda Lactaline electric pump (I had no experience with pumps at all, got this one because I saw it...

Actually, Caterpillar is sleeping fine. But in addition to her two "root whimper nurse (all while asleep)" sessions, she's had 3 or 4 crying thrashing fits every night for the last few days. She doesn't wake up unless I wake her, and the quick latch-on doesn't prevent thrashing or crying. ...

Hi, there is a new Aussie group being created, if you are interested, please request your news service to carry the group. alt.aus.parents Parenting Community with Australian content Charter: alt.aus.parents is for discussing Australian family issues, from pregnancy through to teenage years....

Well, Bug had her first goop yesterday over at Babu and Grampa's house for Thanksgiving. She's now made of both mommy and Lundberg family farms rice. We gave her rice cereal and EBM out of my baby bowl. The expression on her face with the first bite was priceless -- "What the HELL?!?!?". But...

Alena just spent a week in hospital because she stopped breathing. She kept stopping in the night while she slept and now she's having seizures and her heart's throwing PVCs. We're both tired and nervous, but glad to be home. Oh yeah. We also found out that her iron levels are really low and she's...
