My daughter is now 16 months old. She started sleeping through the night a couple of weeks ago but since then, she is wanting to nurse constantly during the day, and I am so tired of it. I literally can't sit down without her fussing and if I don't give it to her she throws a fit. And when I nurse...

Some of you will remember that DD was on a 5-day nursing strike (due to an ear infection) a couple weeks ago, though the three posts I wrote didn't show up until more than a week later, all at once. Here's hoping this one will clear sooner than that. Stupid ISP. Anyway . . . Things were perfect...

I ran into it a few times today and contextually can't figure it out? Alternative parenting??? Clue me in :) Lisa

I don't know what's going on, maybe one of you ladies has some insight: I have been fixed (Essure) so there's basically zero chance I'm pregnant. I had the hysterosalpingogram (dye study followup to the Essure implant) done when baby was 4 1/2 months old, and had a week of bleeding afterward...

I ran across this site and had tears streaming down my cheeks when I came to this "invention". It gives a whole new meaning to the term "nipple confusion". The writeup underneath the picture is really funny... http://www.totallyabsurd.com/milkgun.htm Joanne Mom to Nathan - 16 months

Hi, You mentioned you have two special needs kids, one with Aspergers and one with apraxia. If I can be so nosy as to ask how old the child with apraxia is and if he/she is talking? My nephew is 2 1/2 and still not talking--he is in speech and occupational therapy--but his therapists mentioned...

Hello everyone, I just wanted to start by saying what a great help this group has been -- I've really learned a lot! My dd is 5 months old. We still have a great bf relationship, and I am looking forward to continuing for quite some time. She decided to stop sleeping through the night at around...

can someone look up Zolpidem (stilnox in australia) for me please? also, a friend has been advised she may need to take progesterone to maintain a pregnancy. i know the mini-pill is recomended for breastfeeding mothers, does anyone or hales say anything about the compatibility of progesterone...

I took DD into a walk in clinic today because I was worried about her cough. She was sick last week and has gotten better except for a lingering bad cough that is keeping all of us up at night. Today I got an email hearing that one of the babies in our play group has bronchitis and I got...

I am, not Sprogly, knock on wood. It feels like the flu, but I don't actually have a fever. Sore throat, headache, cough, a little congestion, the runs, yadda yadda. I really wanted some Theraflu last night (my throat was so painful and raw I couldn't sleep), but I noticed it had some decongestant...

Well,we had out 4 month check today. All is well. She is a teeny tiny little thing, 5th percentile for height and weight, 50th for head size. So I guess she will be short with a big head,kinda like her father. Since my first husband is 8 inches taller than my 2nd, I should be prepared for this, but...

Hmm, how would I know if my milk supply went down? I have not been very "full" and last night Meg (who will be 4 months old next week) kept me up nursing abt 8 times -- is this normal? The last feeding a few minutes ago seemed to be a lot of sucking on a floppy tit and not much swallowing. ...

I'm making a breastfeeding zine, and need some help. I was wondering what else I should put in it? I have: Anatomy and function of the breast The basics - getting started, and keep going! Common problems and solutions -engorgement - cracked nipples - sore nipples

Hello again, Well today my 14-monther deliberately bit me while nursing, then smiled in response to my angry yelling. I'd hollered "No!" and pushed his mouth away rather roughly. While I regret that anger and reflex got the best of me, I couldn't help but wonder why in heck he wasn't crying in...

I got a package yesterday from a company called "Positive Promotions". They put logos on things like child safety items, etc. Their "big item" is a booklet called "The New Mom's Handbook". I expected it to be the typical "breastfeed if you can, but...". However, I was very pleasantly...

Got DS weighed today....22lbs 10oz. A bit more than I expected, but not much. 31 inches long. The public health nurse asked if I was measuring him for his carseat switch, and I said yes. WITHOUT ASKING what kind of carseat I use, she said "well, he's fine to turn around" How ironic is *that*...

In the past week our daughter (almost 5 months, exclusively BF) has done a complete turn around in her sleep habits. She went from sleeping through, usually from 11pm to 9am to waking 2 or 3 times in the night to sleeping very little to not sleeping AT ALL last night. Today I feel like I'm going...

Hi folks, I posted here for a while after DS was born (5/1/02) and before I got busy with work again. Now I'm expecting #2 (EDD 7/19/04), and have been instructed to rest as much as possible, so I expect I'll have more time for mkp/mkb again. DS nursed until he was 20mo, at which point I was...

We get eco-diapers from www.ecobaby.ie. They're environmentally friendly disposables from Germany, but sold through a company here. I just got a bunch yesterday, and was flipping through all the literature that the company sends with their bill...new products, etc. I found this, inside the...
