How do I find one and does insurance usually cover one? Kris

Hi Everyone I go back to work in 3 weeks - don't want to but not really got any choice. Does anybody know how much BM I need to be trying to pump to keep the twins going without supplementing with formula. I work nights so will be leaving the house at 11.30pm and be back home around 9am, I plan...

Ollie's started doing this really odd -- and annoying -- thing during the night. He'll latch on for five to ten seconds, then pop off for ten seconds, then back on... This can go on for fifteen minutes or more. It's painful for me, and I don't think it's satisfying for him, either. We've tried...

Hi Ladies I have been lurking here for a good seven months trying to learn about breastfeeding before my baby was born. Elizabeth was born Sunday morning and now im full of breastfeeding questions. Things seem to be going good as far as her latching on correctly however what im wondering is how...

Some of you will probably remember me posting a few months ago about my cousin with babies 10.5 months apart and my efforts to get her to nurse her newborn. Well, he's three months old now and officially off breastmilk since about three weeks ago (he was combifed from day one). When she told me...

"Fer" wrote in message news:NUpDb.717701$pl3.577439@pd7tw3no... I was wondering if Tie Dying is safe while pregnant? I would love to TD some onesies for this lil one since I am sure they'll be living in them for the summer! Well, the Dharma Trading website says to be extra...

It went much better than any of us expected! The first night he woke up for hubby around 1 am, cried for 5 or 10 minutes when it wasn't mommy that came to get him, completely refused a bottle, and fell back to sleep until about 6 am. Not great, but not horrible by any stretch. Then last night he...

I'm 36 weeks pregnant. I will *need* to go back to work around 4 months after the baby is born. I will initially go back 4 days a week until my baby is about 12 months old, and my MIL (Mother-In-Law) has offered to look after the baby during the 4 days I'm at work. Although my MIL could provide...

Hi I was just wondering how long you can store breastmilk in the refridgerator. Rochelle

I am at work today. First day. My DD went to daycare for 2 short days last week. She did pretty well with a bottle of EBM. At home she has had bottles of EBM and formula. She does not seem to care what is IN the bottle. But this am she did not want to take the bottle. Daycare attributed it to...

Short version. Will post longer version later. Siena Pascale. Born 3 Dec, 9lb 6oz via c-section. Due officially 23 Nov 2003, but I estimated 7 Dec, since my other babies were late. Dark hair, looks like her older sister, breastfeeds well, sleeps well at night.

Poor little 3-months-and-one-week-old Sprogly has his first cold. This, of course, is right after I'd congratulated myself that he hadn't caught the cold Bloke and I had around Thanksgiving. He's snuffy and has a cough. He's feverish, his temp is around 100-101F. Poor little bubby is just...

Xander is 2.5 mos and I feel constantly engorged. He goes about 3-4 hours during the day but sometimes longer and eats twice at night (2am and 5am) I feel full all the time. He only eats for about 5-10 minutes each feed, sometimes only on one side. Does that sound right? He just had his 2...

I think I may have solved my daughter's sleep problem. She is 14 months old and still wakes every 1-2 hours all night. Two nights, about a week apart, I didn't consume caffeine after about 3pm, and both nights Bethany slept from about 8pm-2am, woke and nursed, and slept through til about...

probably waaaaaaaaay TMI in this post. and also lots of incoherent rambling as it is late here & i am very tired.............. as i said in the last post, DS is almost 16 months. he breastfeeds 4 times a day, sometimes more. he eats alot of solid food for a toddler in a good variety of foods and...

I have been using mine since the 3rd December, and had a strong fern pattern for 2 days, then the pattern has changed to transitional (less ferns and dots). I am feeling ovulation-type pain today. Has anyone used this method while breastfeeding? -- Andrea mom of 5 - latest addition Kamron David...

Yes I caved, I tried my best but my DD and DH didn't like the miserable person I was becoming. I was told to let him stay at the breast along as he wanted and that left me with 1 hour of nursing every 2 hours and I still had to pop I'm off because he would not stop! My DD began to loathe me, and...

I took Koby for his 4 month visit today. I knew his weight was going to have increased but I couldn't beleive he now weighs 19lbs. 6 oz.!! Everyone is amazed at his size b/c I am very petite (and breastfeeding). I'm assuming his weight gain will slow down a bit, especially when he starts...

I realized that my name change wasn't worth it. So I'm back, in real clothes. No longer Herself, although I am herself. :-) -- It's Tis Herself
