DD2 (now 4 months) is kind of giving me a run for my money... She still refuses to take a bottle of EBM. I've tried 2 different nipples yesterday, still no go. I guess I don't really mind so much, as I love the "our" time of nursing, but I wouldn't mind just a tad of freedom. It would be kind...

I plan to use this pump at work, but it says in the instructions that it needs to be washed and sterilized after each use!!! I need to pump at least twice while I am at work, and of course there is no way I can sterilize it or even wash as the "breastfeeding room" at work is nowhere close to the...

I seem to have many small letdowns rather than a long one. I read through other posts and people talk about their milk flowing (when pumping) for 45 minutes. I get the impression that other people's milk continuously flows instead of a bunch of letdowns like me. I am pretty sure this is how it...

I'm becoming increasingly dissatisfied using hormonal birth control (I'm on the minipill right now, have been since 8 weeks post partum) and have been looking at other options. I came across saliva fertility monitors like the Lady Q (http://tinyurl.com/2ccfl). Has anyone here used something like...

First a background... DD goes in spurts 3 or 4 days of being fussy... then 1 day of sleeping through the night, and most of the next day. DD is 7 weeks old and fed EBM. Anyhow... when she's fussy during those days, she eats every 2 hours at least 5 ounces... sometimes more, and more often.

Idiot me wore a too-tight bra for a full day and now my breasts are sore. I am suspecting a partially plugged ducts. I have been pumping every time I feel a bit full and also if Isabella hasn't nursed long enough to take away that soreness. But now my supply is increasing because of the added...

Last night was dh's work Christmas party, and we arranged for the ILs to take the kids. Rebekah, age 3, wanted it to be a sleep-over since we brought up the idea of going to Nana's house, and by the time I dropped them off there last night, they were both gung-ho. Noah, age 5 1/2, was a little...

Yesterday was dd's 2 month WBV (actually she was 9 weeks, 1 day old yesterday). Her doctor gave us a prescription for multivitamin drops...Polyvisol with iron. A few questions... Are multivitamin drops really necessary? DD is exclusively breastfed. Does anyone know if these drops contain...

Hi, everyone! I'm still here. Trying to get the hang of being breastfeeding and being a good mother. I have a few questions: ~What can I do about the hiccups that Morgan gets at least 6 times a day? What is causing them? What can prevent them? ~Am I supposed to be pumping if I am feeding...

In my ongoing endeavor to find more information about the condition called "insufficient glandular tissue" or "insufficient glandular development" I have finally come across a study that answers a whole slew of my questions. I posted the complete text and all...

Can anyone point me to any good web resources on antidepressant use in pregnancy (and, while I'm at it, while breastfeeding)? (Just in case anyone was wondering, I'm asking professionally and not personally...) TIA, All the best, Sarah

Take advantage of a great deal

When we took Caterpillar for her newborn hearing testing at the health department, we were offered the opportunity to get mailings and surveys on child development. I figured there'd be no harm in that, but now I'm starting to wonder. We got the "4 Month" handout today. Nearly half the thing is...

My dd (6.5 mo) wants variety. Now she suddenly decided she doesn't want to eat cereal anymore. Can I mix anything else in it other than breast milk in cereal? There's only 50% chance that she'll eat it so I've been throwing it away half the time. She used to eat lot of cereal until couple of weeks...

When my sister's sons were born, I combined my work as a comedian with my web design capabilities to build them unique websites. They've been so popular, that she suggested I offer my services to other new parents. Basically what I did with my nephews' sites was to incorporate their pictures into...
