Hi all, I thought I'd pop in and introduce myself. My name is Carrie and I'm the proud breastfeeding Mom of (almost) 4 year old Jazz. In my spare time I'm a stay at home Mom, Breastfeeding counselor, advocate, and Executive Director of Promotion of Mothers' Milk (promom.org). My hubby is a work...

Hi everyone, I just wanted to let you all know here, that I have moved the negotiations up to the next step and have requested to have discussions with the Media Relations Department in addition to the VP that I have been speaking with. There is discussion of going to the media this week with the...

The press release is going out as we speak. Please feel free to forward it on to any media contacts that you may have, friends, family, playgroups, anyone who is a supporter of breastfeeding. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 31,2006

So back again with #2, a DS this time. Birth weight was 6lbs 8oz (or 9oz depending on what nurse we asked). He was 19 in long. He was born May 17th, We left the hopsital on may 20th and he weight 5lbs 11 oz.. We returned Sunday and he had lost another oz, so the lowest recorded weight was...

Just a good-bye here.. I lost my son at 5 weeks and one day to sids. Larry, who'se last name I can not remember atm, you were most helpful this round of breastfeeding and my last round of breastfeeding (My daughter is 2 1/2 now). Wishing you all the best. -Brenda

Every day, it seems like we are living in an increasingly liquid world. I'm not preaching against the evils of alcohol or for a new era of prohibition that will save us from sin and politicians. After all, water is also a liquid, and it rarely inflicts us with either sin or politicians. But we do...

Are you hoping to experience a vaginal birth after having had a cesarean delivery? You may find your hopes are squelched by modern practitioners. Hospitals around the country are now banning vaginal birth after cesarean delivery and insisting women undergo repeat cesarean delivery. Hospitals say...

It's okay for pregnant woman craving. Cravings is some kind of momentary desire for a particular food or flavor and often times there is no rhyme or reason to why some women crave certain things and others crave different things. Popular foods that pregnant women have been known to crave include:...

I'm taking the micronor (sp?) mini pill, and I have been since the beginning of January. DD2 is just about 4 months now, and still nursing fantastic. Still refusing a bottle of EBM, still refusing anything on a spoon. This mini pill seems to be going alright... I am wondering, though, just a...

DD2 is 3 days old... So far, I think we've been doing good with everything. She's a 100% bf baby, and I plan to keep it that way - no bottles of expressed milk OR formula. Might look at expressing in the future, but not any time soon... I'm wondering if I'm on the right track so far - DS and I...

DD2 will be 5 weeks old on Tuesday... She's nursing like a champ - eats like a horse (birth weight was 7lbs 3oz, at 8 days she was 7lbs 8oz, and at 3 weeks she was 9lbs 2oz, and haven't weighed her in 2 weeks yet, so not sure what her weight is now) She has plenty of dirty and wet diapers. She...

Just a question... DD2 is not quite 10 weeks old now. Wow, time flies, it seems! IIRC, with DS (almost 6), I didn't start periods again until looong after he was born. I did, however, exclusively bf him until he was about 6 months old. At that point, I did offer him EBM in a bottle on...

I'm a bit stuck on this one, and I'm wondering if anyone has some words of advice. We have a wedding to attend at the end of August. It's for one of my childhood friends that lived down the block from me growing up. We were the best of friends from when her family moved into the neighbourhood...

Other than trying to rub EBM on 'em, is there anything else that can be used for a very recently sore nipple? DD2 took a good chomp out of me this morning before we actually got up for the day. I went up to feed her in the morning when I heard her making noises in the room. I went up, took her...

The last few days I've been feeling kind of sick. I've been sneezing like there's no tomorrow and my nose is so plugged up. My eyes are constantly watering, oh, and my nose is so plugged! Did I mention I've been feeling like garbage lately?? I'm wondering if anyone knows if I can take...

....I thought I'd just double check here... I called the Health Link here and asked, but I just want to make sure 100% as the nurse I talked to sounded like she really was unsure. I know the general rule of thumb for frozen EBM is 3 months in the freezer, 6 months in the deep freeze. Should I...

Not sure what's going on or what to do about it. The last couple days, I feel like I'm ready to explode. It feels like DD2 just can't eat enough. She does, though, as she's feeding as she always has. Her weight gain is fine. She's 11 weeks tomorrow. I'm feeling such pain of being real full...

So, there were some issues around here, and yea, won't go there now... All the past posts seem to be "unavailable", which is odd. Anyways... I ended up renting the Symphony pump. Tried it out for about a week, stored a bit, and then I returned it. I found it kind of chapped my nipples a bit,...

I was wondering... What way do you find to be the most comfortable or comforting way to feed? Like, if it was possible for you to nurse the way you like best every time, what way would that be? And why? What about least favorite? I just ask because today I was laying in bed with DD2 feeding...
