Touched on in my vent post - orange juice. I'm sure that I've read somewhere that citrus juices should be avoided. Can anyone confirm or deny? I'm sure also that our dentist recommends only water or milk up to the age of 5 (that'll be fun!!) but I need to double check that cos I read the...

My baby will be 4 weeks on Sunday. She is a good little nurser except for the past few nights. She is very frantic about trying to latch on and kicks her legs and hits me with her arms. She is not getting a good latch and then cries and cries. Its almost like she gets too much saliva on my nipple...

well the Moo has 2 little white teeth poking through his bottom gum, they are not all out yet but its imminent! I thought it would be wise to ask for tips in case he turns out to be a biter. He's been doing this pull off thing for the last week or so and he gets 3 chances to settle before the boob...

Could it be? DS is 7 1/2 months--AF returned at around 6 months. Still no AF this month--31 days into cycle. I used to have a 28-31 day cycle. Anybody have irregular periods when nursing? PMS started 2 Mondays ago and still no AF! Could it be??? DS still nurses through the night and, of...

With new baby due end of April, I'd like to find some books for my 3 1/2 yo to prepare him a bit for the arrival and life with baby. He is at the moment particularly unwilling to accept the idea that baby will be nursing (he still nurses 1-2x/day). MIL gave ds a book for x-mas, but I returned it as...

Meg is almost 3 months now. Lately when I have been in public or around company at home she has given me all sorts of trouble feeding her. She won't just latch on and eat, she has to complain about it a lot, latch on, latch off, get distracted, work herself into a fit ... only nurse on...

Ruth Shear? Iphigenia? Mary S? I know I'm missing a ton, anyone wanna add to my list? Ruth's been MIA the longest...hope all is well! - Jen

Well, DS is now almost 5 months old (will be on 1/11) and I'm getting lots of peer pressure about feeding him solids. His teacher at day care wrote on the top of his daily sheet "Is he eating cereal yet? He seemed to be interested when the other kids were eating?" Well, of course he...

Can anyone, who is well endowed 38DD+, please tell me what brand of Nursing Bra you use and find most comfy with lots of support? I don't really want the uniboob you get from sports bra types and I'd like something that won't make me look like an old hag. Thanks a bunch!!!

As the mother of a two and a half month old, I can't yet imagine wanting to give her food until she insists upon it (unless there was a health need). My typical response to "When will she start eating food?" is "When she can pry it from my clenched fist, or sneak it like the dogs." I will be...

We're trying the "No-Cry Sleep Solution" methods of trying to get Ollie (14 mos.) to sleep more than two hours at a time. We've been doing it since January 1: earlier bedtime, routine, stopping nursing before he's actually asleep, and moving him to his crib (a Pack & Play next to the bed) when he's...

Hi all, I'm delurking to ask a question. I have a 2 year old (nursed until he weaned himself at 15 months :( ) and an 11 week old. My midwife suggested a Depo shot and I'm considering it but wanted to ask you all. Does it interfere with b/fing at all? That's my primary concern. Any complaints?...

Portia wrote: So it's been about a week since he was last fed. Does anyone have any idea how long it will be before my breasts dry up? I'm not leaking, but there's still some milk there. Neither are they engorged... I guess the gradual stopping helped with that. There may be some *tiny*...

Hi all. I have been keeping a food diary for Kam. He reacted badly to pear, so that prompted me to keep one. My question is his reaction is severe eczema on his face and on the back of his knees. He is all clear now, and has had banana for 3 days without reaction, and also apple for 3 days. How...

He's 26.5 inches long, 15.5 lbs. The weight was a surprise, because I was sure he'd be at least 16 lbs. But his weight gain has slowed down--65%ile while it was 75%ile at 11 weeks; he's still in the 95%ile for length. Head circumference is still almost exactly average. I went in half expecting the...

The Moo boy is nearly 7 months now and shows no sign of rolling. I had read somewhere that when they can roll they are safe to put on their tummys to sleep. If I put him down on his tummy he is more likely to settle than if I put him on his back so I want to be able to do this if it's safe. We co...

Margaret seems a lot more "twitchy" than my first baby. She startles easily and takes a long time to enter deep sleep from rem sleep. When she's in rem sleep she often startles at nothing - I wonder if she has those "I'm falling" dreams that jerk you awake just as you are dropping off. It seems to...

Since I have gone back to work, we have been combi feeding. I pump during the day as best I can and consider it "gravy." My question is if my DD is nursing in the morning and the evening and the middle of the night feeding and not during the day, is a Mamm body "smart" enough to have a sort...
