Is it safe to receive a flu shot while BF? Tracy

Hi there, My son went for his 2 month checkup today. Born 8lbs. 4oz he now weighs in at 14lbs. 8oz ! He's also grown 4 inches. We are so pleased with his development, being exclusively breastfed and all :) ~Tracy, mother of Koby

Happy New Year! I just wanted to post about my experience yesterday for those of you who might be going through the same thing. My son (4 1/2 months) has been having trouble waking during his naps and at night time. The trouble is that after about an hour of daytime napping he wakes and is unable...

Perhaps someone here has a lead.... I've been co-sleeping with DS for 7 months and I'm thinking of introducing the crib, at least for the first half of the night. I have an older crib that meets all the current safety standards, however it is missing a part. I need to find the metal rods that...

I need your opinions on breast pumps. It seems a lot of you have the Avent Isis manual pump and like that one. I'm NOT looking for something hospital grade (or that expesive!) just a pump that will do the job. Is it worth getting one of the less expensive electric/battery operated brands or would...

I am almost due with my first child and I really want to breastfeed. I have a couple of questions, and I hope some of you could answer some of them. I have a history of 'mental illness'. I have been hospitalized five years ago, and absolutely hated that. I never want to have to go there again. So...

My son will be 1 next month -- wow! -- and he's still nursing 8x/day, plus he takes 2 solids meals. I'm wondering how much bf'ing is typical at 1 year. I remember a neighbor telling me that she had her first child totally weaned by his first birthday, and geez, even if I wanted to do that, it...

We've been breastfeeding for one year today! Yay! Today I was thinking about how in the hospital, there was a short period where it looked for all the world like Quinn was going the way his brother went -- growing disinterest in the breast before the milk came in. (In Eamon's case, it led to...

DS and I made it to 3 months! Okay, so anyone here thought we would? No? No one? :-) You'll note my hand isn't raised either. ;-) There is still unexplained pain in my breast, but it's not as bad now. The seemingly permanent bleb is still there, but doesn't rage as much as it used to. DS has...

Another poop question! Hooray! ;-) I've had this on my mind for quite awhile now, and because of the advice in the "5 MORE new bf'er questions" thread, I finally just have to ask. Larry and Barbara both said things to the effect that green and mucousy poops shouldn't be standard for baby. When...

I've heard plenty of times not to start solids until 6 mos., but something I've wondered about: until roughly what age can a baby continue to grow and thrive on breastmilk alone? -- Alpha alphawave at earthlink dot net

Just wanna pat myself on the back... I had 2 great NIP experiences this weekend! And DS is calming down while NIP -- *YAY*!!! The first was last night. We went to have a pizza at Bertucci's, and towards the end of the meal, DS started acting hungry even though I fed him before we left. We were...

I've been pumping off much of my foremilk before the first feeding of the morning because of the OAL issue. I usually get about 3 oz., and I've been giving it to my older son (2y5m). It's done a great thing for him -- he had been struggling with constipation for awhile there, but that's...

Quinn had his 4-mo. wbv today. He didn't gain as much as we thought he had -- about 3 lbs. since the 2-mo. visit, and weighs 16 lb. 8 oz. now. We thought he was probably around a pound heavier than that. Now, I want to stress that I'm not concerned that his weight gain is inadequate or anything...

I may need information, or I may only need kindly reassurance :-) but I hope someone here will be willing to take a moment to consider my OAL situation at this point. I'm doing the recommended thing of offering only one breast at a feeding and sticking with that breast for feedings that come...

A Breastfeeding 101 question here... about when during a feeding does the milk transition away from foremilk? We've been having a little OAL over here and I've been expressing into a cloth whenever we get a choking spray, but I'm never really sure how long to do it. Should I just do it until the...
