Hi! My name is Johane. I'm a SAHM/WAHM in Canada. I have 4 kids under 9, and I homeschool. I follow more an AP style of parenting. We have fish and birds for pets and today I got my water back! (It was gone for about a week...) I have been nursing now for 9 years straight. Each child kind...

The other day it occurred to me that maybe the advertising that deters women from breastfeeding isn't primarily that which promotes formula but that instead maybe it's the fault of advertising (and a culture in general) that objectifies women and their breasts. Maybe so many women don't breastfeed...

This is super-rare, but as they mention in the article codeine is prescribed to so many women, even though such a death is very rare it is important to get the message out that codeine can be dangerous to nurslings. Elle Codeine can turn toxic in nursing mothers: Gene transformed drug...

Is there any way of retraining a 15 month old's latch? My daughter's has totally slipped to the point that my nipples are abraded and bleeding! I never had such problems, even when she was a newborn. She just cut one molar and the other is almost all the way through, could that account for the bad...

My DD is now 8.5 months old. We started solids about 1.5 months ago and it's going ok. She's not wild for it but eats pretty well, no allergies or aversions. Anyway I was wondering when it was OK to give her dairy products, like yogurt, cottage cheese and other cheeses? For some reason I have it...

After DS nurses sometimes he is content and goes right to sleep,...

The DW and I purchased the Purely Yours. She tried it for the first time last night, and using both breasts, she expressed 1.5 ounces. I fed DS (woohoo! bonding time!) and he had no trouble with the bottle. But he was hungry afterwards and DW had to nurse, but not as long.. so we think he probably...

Hello! Kinda new here to the group.. before I get started do I have my abbreviations correct? DH = darling husband DW = darling wife DS = darling son DD = darling daughter I had to look these up at Wikipedia lol.

When the DW and I brought our DS home we were feeding him about every 3 hours, sometimes 4. She'd feed him for about 15-20 on one side, he would be sleepy during the feed and sometimes stop, and it was suggested to her (at the hospital) to stimulate him to wake him up to continue to feed....

What are some consequences of not breastfeeding your child? What are the major reasons why women choose not to breastfeed? Should it be accepted in public places? Where can I find U.S. statistics on the subject? What is a major difference between breast milk and the formula?

My wife just had a baby four days ago. She has been partially successful in breastfeeding. But now no milk is flowing to the baby, or she cannot obtain any using the breast pump. She tried placing a heating pad on her breasts, then tried again to no avail. Her breasts are swollen, hard, and...

My daughter is about 7months old, and my wife's milk supply is starting to diminish. We started mixing cereal with her milk to bulk it up about a month or so ago, and she took to that readily. We have been trying to find something to help supplement her increasing diet, especially when she is...

Mom says border agent made her lactate SAN YSIDRO, Calif., Dec. 2 (UPI) -- A young woman says an immigration agent on the border between Mexico and California forced her to lactate to prove that the baby she carried was hers. Zayra Cano, 18, whose legal residence is in San Ysidro, Calif., was...

The incremental energy needs for a woman breastfeeding a single infant amount to about 25% of her non-lactating requirement, whereas for a rat dam feeding a litter of eight pups or a ewe feeding two fast-growing lambs the incremental needs may be as high as 300%.
