I used to post on the OBY-GYN forums, and met a woman on there who got flamed for taping a blanket round her baby with duct tape. She has just emailed me as she has now brought a swaddle blanket out show here; http://tinyurl.com/2zo4o I hate the bit where it says "Devan always managed to...

My (almost 8 mos old) daughter's been a slow eater from day 1. Her typical nursing session's around 45 minutes, with her longer ones (in the evening, or when she doesn't feel well) running to 2 hours. And she nurses about every 2 hours (so there are times when I get maybe time to run to the...

I recently got a haircut, and much of the hair I have left is post-partum (what? I say I can use it like this, so pffft). It seems to me that my hair has turned coarser since I gave birth. Has anyone else experienced this? -- Sara, whose life is an on-going quest for the right shampoo

My wife has been breastfeeding our first son for 4 1/2 months so far. She started working about 2 months ago and has been pumping out breast milk since then. A week ago, she noticed some blood in the pumped milk, which makes about 3 ounces of milk displaying a pink color. This happened again two...

How do you ladies manage NIP with twins - or don't you? At home I feed them both together - but this involves lots of strategic placing of cushions and positioning. To feed them seperately whilst out would take forever - they are not fast feeders. I have got a sling but can't for the life of me...

Ok I know this sounds strange but what could be going on here? My DD is 14 months old and will not nurse from one breast. She complains and says hungry and more and please every time I try to nurse from the left side right side seems fine and she dosnt complain a bit on that one. I had thought...

Very strange...DS, now a few days past his three month mark and exclusively breastfed isn't pooping for a few days at a time. We're used to him going three to four times daily and now nothing at all. He's in fine spirits, doesn't seem to be in any discomfort., although a bit gassy. Dr. recommended...

I know that Dr. Thomas Hale is a Professor of Pediatrics at the Texas Tech University School of Medicine and he researches Breastfeeding Pharmacology. But where does he get the funding for his research? Does anyone know if the drug companies fund his research? -- Brigitte aa...

I was inspired by the "9 month ish roll call" posts to start a thread for us 6 month-ers. I'd love to hear how you and your babies are doing... As for us, DD will be 6 months on Monday. She was exclusively BF until 4 days ago when we decided we couldn't wait anymore and had to try some rice...

DH just sent me a photo. http://www.ofoto.com/I.jsp?c=sm6ceuv.3zlrk53j&x=0&y=1sdt8f Holly Mom to Camden, 3yo EDD #2 6/8/04

Cleft palate surgery will be Wednesday, Feb. 4, at 7:15 a.m. Central Time (US). Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers. I have every confidence in his doctors, but prayers are very welcome. I will try to send a report early next week when we get home. Otherwise, a friend who lurks and posts...

Anyone read the Sunday's USA weekend magazine that came with the news over the weekend? They are running a segment on children's safety and listed 15 new and useful scientific findings for caring for your infant. #1 was: Keep baby out of your bed. They say that a new study shows it simply isn't...

I read a few baby message boards and have found a message that I am quite compelled to reply to, but would like to get some facts before I start ranting! A lady has asked how soon breastfed babies sleep through the night. She has one child already who was formula fed and slept through (9+ hours a...

Well, it's the new year and it's time to update the birthdays. So, anyone who didn't get a greeting last year or is new to the group, and would like a birthday greeting, either post the information to this thread or email me (just take out "GoAwayWorm" from my address). :-) -- Brigitte aa...

DH and I are going to a winter party next weekend this is the first time I will be leaving Elizabeth during the evening I am thinking that I will want to have a drink or 2 but im wondering how much is too much alcohol while BF. I have not had a drink in so long and I would like to relax a...

What is going on? Does teething get worse overnight? DS is taking decent naps during the day(2 naps about 2 hours total--he used to take no naps) but is up all night. All right, I'm exaggerating, but not much! He goes to bed(in his crib) around 7:30 or 8 and comes to bed with me when...

Anybody had their kid get this? 3.5 month old Meg has several spots of it -- if so did you do anything other than use an antifungal cream (wait it out, garlic, etc) and how did that turn out? -- Dagny

Hi ladies. I tired to post this in the pregnancy newsgroups but i din't' get that much of a response. So i thought to myself , i guess there is no harm in trying here. I was wondering i am 23 weeks pregnant today with my first pregnancy, and i am kind of worried because i don't feel that much...

It's salt, water and flour. elizabeth emerald wrote: does anyone know what the ingredients of commercial play doh are? DS is allergic to egg & he's just been playing with it & i didn't even think to check what was in it. it doesn't say on the packet.
