Hi all !! I had an abortion through induced normal delivery at 29 weeks (the baby's brain was malformed). I am 3 weeks 5 days postpartum now. My bleeding was normal and gradually tapered down to a few drops after 3 weeks. My health visitor said it was all normal. At that time, as I was feeling...

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...

My baby girl will be 1 in about 2 weeks :-( The *problem* i'm having is that she is not interested in solids hardly at all. She will take 2 - 3 bites of something before starting to spit it out and not take anymore. She wants to nurse a lot. I don't mind the nursing but I really want her...

I guess I'm not using the right key-words for a search but I can't find a Canadian online source to purchase the "hands-free" attachment for the Pump-in-Style. Does anyone know of a source? -- Brigitte aa...

It occured to me this evening that I want to write a Living Will. It sounds silly but I have a shockingly bad headache with nausea and I always gets scared that I will get hospitalized and my daughter won't be able to get to me. It's just a headache, but sometimes I panic!! Anyway, I wondered if...

Meg (4 mos) has gone from nursing every 2-3 hours at night to one, about 4 hour sleep and then up every hour to nurse back to sleep thereafter. Let me know if there's something I can do, from your experience, to get more sleep without being disrespectful of her needs? I don't mind nursing every...

You may have posted an update that I didn't see, but I thought I'd ask anyway. How is the issue with Christopher hardly nursing? Have things come around, or is he still having problems? What did the doctor say? Just wondering, since DD is still having issues . . . -- Jodi SAHM to Oliver (3...

Hi there. I can't beleive Koby is over 6 months old now! We went out to eat, just the two of us, for the first time today. We went to Olive Garden and Koby sat in one of their highchairs. What a long way he has come from having to be cradled in my arms while trying to inhale a meal. I took along...

Moo is nearly 9 mths old and sleeps like this - in bed at 6ish, awake for snacks at 8, 10 and a big feed at midnight. Then its up at 2, 4 and 6. On good nights he will go 3 hours without milk. Writing it down I can see why I am so knackered :-) He is eating solids pretty well now, 3 meals a day...

I always said we wouldn't be giving YoungBloke a dummy. For a start I have always been happy to feed him whenever he wanted, and anyway, he found his thumb pretty quickly so he was happy with that. Until recently, that is, when he's wanted to put anything he can find into his mouth, but no matter...

Kamron is almost 9 months old now, and the urge to get pregnant again is strong! I think it's because my kids are all 18-22 months apart, so my fertile time has started. Anyone else got the bug yet? ;o) I often wonder if my biological clock ticks a little faster with early menopause running in...

does anyone know anything about this? I've mentioned on here before that we have taken Nathanael for tests in relation to him having occasional blood in his urine. I've just been phoned by the registrar who took blood at our last visit and one of the tests for clotting took longer than it should...

(crossposted to MKB & MKP) I found out at my LLL meeting tonight that the SIDS taskforce in town is mounting an effort to have co-sleeping deemed a hotlineable offense (i.e. you can be reported to the Division of Family Services *Child Abuse* hotline for co-sleeping with your baby!). Anyway, as a...

I was starting to feel a little hurt that you all had ignored my posts and responses over the last few weeks; however, I just googled myself and most of my posts don't even show up. I've been missing a lot of original posts as well, so I guess something is up with my mail server. I guess I'm going...

First, thanks to those who gave me advice on getting some milk frozen in anticipation of returning to work. I've set up the pump in the nursery and I have been finding a few minutes here and there while DS naps or DH plays with him, to pump some, and get some stored up. My new question is...
