DS2 is 6 weeks old. we co-sleep & he seems to have great head control so i think we are ready to breastfeed lying down at night. at the moment i am sitting on the bed with pillows behind me & i am falling asleep & getting a sore neck/back. so i have a couple of questions: 1. DS2 needs to be burped...

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...

We are testing our 6 week old on having one bottle a week of formula (not going down the EBM line). I have been trying to express while hubbie feeds but I was wondering if it is really necessary for only one formula bottle a week. Would it reallly affect my milk supply missing just one...

What age? Does the child have to be able to sit up anaided? Or does sitting on lap count? DS won't take a bottle, and I'm going to see the stage production of Dirty Dancing on Saturday - will prolly be out for about 5 hours, with DH at home holding the forte. Will is very good at sitting on our...

Well, looks like the mystery is solved... Apparently, on the previous urinalysis, there WAS a bacteria found that they assumed was a contaminant because it is not commonly found in the bladder. This bacteria was "Pseudomonas aeruginosa", which I'm told is what causes pneumonia. The doc has...

you have to read this blog about a guy whose wife has been shooting her breastmilk at him. it is so hilarious. http://sweetjuniper.blogspot.com/2005/11/la-leche-league-to-rescue.html I so wish I could go back to when I was still brestfeeding so I could do that to my husband. I love that this...

DS#2, aged almost 6 months, has a diaper rash. A big nasty red rash all over his cheeks, radiating out from the anus. It's clearly very sore, and he's been spending lots of time with a bare bum, thick unscented zinc cream on his bum, and very frequent diaper changes (disposable, so should "wick...

Anyone know whether taking GSE capsules would alter the flavor of the bm? I tried some of the drops in water the other day and it was some majorly *nasty,* bitter-tasting stuff. So I will *not* be doing the GSE that way. But my concern is whether it would make the bm tast off? Wouldn't want...

Well, I'm due in 3wks! In preparation I got out my Isis pump and put it together, checked to make sure I knew how it worked, etc. in case I need it right away (for nipple stim in labor or unexpected circumstances after birth, we don't plan to introduce EBM until at least 4-6wks). Anyway, after I...

Was on the phone to my mum last, I happened to mention Ada had been eating a lot that afternoon, instant response was that's a sign she needs solids, my response was, well it's probably a growth spurt, my milk supply will catch up in a couple of days, if she was bottle fed, we'd just give her...

Hi I am due to return to work part time (3 days per week) in 3 weeks time but would like to continue to breastfeed my 6.5 month old baby daughter. She is just starting on solid foods now and takes 3 meals a day plus her milk. I have a job that means I am sometimes office based and other times...

Hi, I have a 10 week old daughter who is exclusively breastfed. She has a bad case of oral thrush - I have been giving her Nystatin drops for 10 days and if anything the thrush has got worse over that time. I am using cream on myself and as far as I can tell I'm clear of the thrush. She's been...

Hi there, I'm new to this group so first I'll introduce myself. I'm Amber, I'm 22 and live in UK. I have a gorgeous daughter, Tessa who was a month old on Monday. I have a question regarding BF to sleep. I have been reading up on techniques to help your baby sleep through the night and they all...

Ok......I was told by Dr. Jack Newman not to worry about spitting up unless there wa s a failure to thrive which is NOT the case with my son (born at 9 lbs 4oz - 17 pounds at 4 mo appt - currently around the 18lbs mark at 5 mo). But how much spitting is too much spitting? On a daily basis he spits...

Jo - Hi - just wanted to update you on our experience with GV - I did a round of it - 4 days and checked the mouth - still a thin film, so did 3 more days. Still a thin film, but I decided that this might actually be normal for her, so stopped the GV, and two days later the film is thicker again! ...

Hello! Our DD (3 weeks old) has gotten into the habit of falling asleep at the breast. She'll latch on, start eating for a few minutes, then fall asleep. We tickle her, etc to get her eating again, but a few seconds later falls asleep again. Over and over until mommy has to get her off. We...
