....sometime in the near future. Jessica is now 18.5 months and for the last couple of weeks has only nursed 1-2 times/day. Dh is putting her to bed these days so she doesn't nurse then, she doesn't EVER ask for it during the day, she's WAAAAAAY too busy to even think about it, and she's starting...

Any results of that second test? I've been thinking about you. Best wishes. JennP.

DD Ilona is now 19 months still BF, I am having a bit of problems with her eating. When she turned one I pretty much switched her to adult food, I normally do not make special food for her she eats what we eat, unless it is something spicy or seafood etc. Up to about a week ago she was a great...

I have two questions that are unrelated one from the other and have little to do with BF, but since you are all great and experienced mothers (and fathers) I want your opinion and your expertise. DD Ilona is not 17mths, she still BF early morning and before bedtime and very seldom at nap time,...

Going back to my DD and MIL situation, I believe that MIL has clinical depression, I am not a doctor by any means but the symptoms do match. Could it be that DD is picking this up and that is why she does not want to be with her? She suffers from Parkinson's Disease and this is partially the...

I've posted regarding this issue previously, but it is really starting to worry me. DD is almost 1 yr (two weeks to go) Breastfeed of course. She does not like my MIL, for some reason she rejects her and does not allow her to carry her. She has been staying at our house for about 4 days becuase...

I am having somewhat of a hard time socialy continuing to BF my 11 month old. Everyone was real happy when I BF for the first 8 months but I am starting to get resistance from everyone around me. BF my child to me has been the most wonderful experice, better than child birth itself, and I really...

DD Ilona now 9 and a half months, still BF is a bit uneasy when we are in gatherings with a large group. We baptized her last week and we had a large reception afterwards. I had to leave and go home becuase she was not comfortable around so many people. There have been two other occations since...

DD now 7 months is growing teeth, her two lower ones are almost all out and I think ther top ones are about to como out as well. The last few feedings have been a bit painfull, I guess she tries to bite my nipple and as a result my nipples are starting to get a bit sore (just like when she was...

Please help me cope, DD Ilona is 6 months has been consistenly waking up at 4 and 5 in the morning for about 2 weeks now. She does not want to be fed as she does not cry when I am holding her she just wants to be held and as soon as I put her down she starts crying again. This morning at about...

Ilona as I mentioned in a previous message today, is 5 months, the pediatrician told me to start on solids: the first week juice, second week juice and cereal, third week juice cereal and fruits etc, etc. We live in Ecuador, where things might be a bit different than in the US (where I am from). ...

DD Ilona is doing great, she turned 5months last friday. She feeds pretty much on a schedule, she wakes up at 6 and feeds and then will feed again at around 10:30 am, in the meantime I try to extract milk at around 8 or 9 to store or to have for the day in case I need to run out. I can pretty...

DD Ilona has been waking up regularly at night for the last 4 nights. She is four months old and since two and half she has slept all night, normally 10 hours from 8:30pm to 6:30am The holidays were a bit hectic and schedules were changed a bit, now that we are back to normal, she has been waking...

DD is 4 months old, exclusively breastfed, (doesn't even take a bottle, i've pretty much given up on that). I practice attachment parenting we spend all day together, I try to do things (shopping, bills, etc) when she is asleep but most of the time, she is with me. She does not want anyone else...

Plan to start pumping about 2 to 3 weeks before you go to work, get to know your breast pump, and learn how to use it. Start pumping at home and practice how it works. During your practicing, you can start storing the milk and use it to feed your baby when you return to work. When you start to...

I'd appreciate tips and advice on weaning a 16 month old. She's down to 1 feed a day - the reunion feed after I pick her up from the childminder's (I work full-time). When we get home she's like a boob-junkie! Cross, irritable, clingy, whingy until she gets her feed and then she's a different...
