sleep and supply? (bit long. sorry) by
lucy-lu
Hi
My DD is now 4 and a half weeks. When she was first born I expresed a
lot as well as breastfeeding, as she just didn't seem to get enough by
breastfeeding, and I became concerned about her as her urine was
becoming quite concentrated - fortunately nipple confusion was never an
issue.
I did...

Oy ... what did I say? by

So ... I was wandering around the net the other day, and found myself
over on the Babycenter.com parenting boards. A rather unusual place
.... Lots of moms with lots of questions about fairly straightforward
things (and surprsingly few helpful answers from other moms) so ...
being the kind of...

Australian formula ad!! by

Has anyone seen the new ad for Karicare toddler milk? I am

found it hard to get all the nutrients she needed to keep BF so instead

baby hair barrettes by
V.
OK, Madeline's hair is now long enough to be getting in her eyes, but not
long enough to really stay back when brushed. She's only 8 months, but had
a few inches of hair when she was born. I bought some "baby" size
barrettes, and then realized that she could choke on them if they came out....

CNN Article of July 27 by
Andrea Phillips
Here's the link:
http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/07/27/nursing.cover.ap/index.html
The stance of this article kind of annoys me, because it structures the
discussion as being between "Well, I try not to show too much boob" and
"Ew, gross."
Does anyone else have a take on it?

Paranoid new mom question #4521 - now sleeping too much? by
cjra
We'll get this all worked out soon.
Since Sunday, DD has been feeding like a maniac. Yesterday she slept 2
1hr stretches, and a few 10-15 minute naps throughout the day.
Otherwise, she was feeding. Plenty of wet diapers and poops were either
green or yellow - equal # of both.
She fed last night...

Green poop? by
cjra
Is this normal?
DD started off with yellow grainy poops in her first week of mostly
breastmilk (at about 14 days old). Then it went to yellow mucousy poop.
And now she's been having green mucousy poop. I thought yellow was
normal, but is green ok too? I read somewhere, and now can't find
where,...

there any way to make it even better? A special diet, nutritional

Woohoo! She's gained weight! by
cjra
That means the BF'ing is working :).
I had been a bit paranoid about that, and was holding my breath til DD
was weighed today, but she's putting it on at a normal rate! She's
still not at her birthweight (2.5 oz under, 3weeks old today), but
that's to be expected given the circumstances. Pedi was...

Hi all,
I am new here, I have a 16 day old daughter who I have been breastfeeding
since birth. My question is how soon can I start to express breast milk so
that I can leave the feeding responsibilities to my husband so I can catch

Feeding questions by
Erin
My three and a half week old is feeding for almost two hours at a time.
I feel pretty confident with my latch. I see her sucking AND swallowing
consistently. Is she really this hungry? Before today, I would pull her
off after about 25 minutes at each breast when her sucking and
swallowing weakened....

So proud of myself! And DD - NIP by
cjra
I've only been at this since last Monday, and I hadn't figured out how
to BF discretely yet. In the hospital was no big deal, I had no qualms
about ripping off my top. So we had our first outing today to Target.
Of course as soon as we arrived she decided she wanted to nurse again.
I had her in a...
