occasionally giving bottle of EBM by
Jacqui
All4meUC wibbled
Hi there. My son is one month old and I really feel like we've
got the hang of breastfeeding. I have started giving my son a
bottle of expressed milk in order to prepare for when I return to
school. So far he seems to have no problem with nipple confusion.
He even takes...

Not feeding that much by
Jake Mysterio
DD2 who is 4 months old, has reduced her feeds. She was having 5-6feeds a
day and is now usually only having 4. I dont feel this is enough but she is
not interested any other time, she is gaining normally has plenty wet
nappies etc etc. She just seems too young to only have 4 feeds. She has
always...

FAO Andrea by
jake's mom
Hi,
You mentioned you have two special needs kids, one with Aspergers and one
with apraxia. If I can be so nosy as to ask how old the child with apraxia
is and if he/she is talking? My nephew is 2 1/2 and still not talking--he
is in speech and occupational therapy--but his therapists mentioned...

nighttime is a nightmare by
jake's mom
What is going on? Does teething get worse overnight? DS is taking decent
naps during the day(2 naps about 2 hours total--he used to take no naps) but
is up all night. All right, I'm exaggerating, but not much! He goes to
bed(in his crib) around 7:30 or 8 and comes to bed with me when...

Preggers?! by

Could it be? DS is 7 1/2 months--AF returned at around 6 months. Still no
AF this month--31 days into cycle. I used to have a 28-31 day cycle.
Anybody have irregular periods when nursing? PMS started 2 Mondays ago and

cosleeping and crawling by
jake's mom
Hi all,
For all of you cosleepers--how do/did you all deal with your little one
crawling in the bed? DS is 7 months old and cosleeps part of the night with
me--then part of the night with DH. I go to work in the middle of the night
so DH has him alone in bed for half of the night. We are both...

6 month old growth spurt? by
jake's mom
Haven't posted in a while---back at work and extremely busy. My DS--just
turned 6 months on the 23rd--has recently begun waking in the night. He has
eaten probably 5 times overnight for the past week and a half(unlike his
usual 1-2 feeds overnight). I am exhausted and am praying this is a...

vitamin D supplements? by
jake's mom
DS had his 2 month Dr. appointment today and we were told by a nurse-not the
Dr.- that he needs vitamin D supplements because he is exclusively
breastfed. Is this true? I take a prenatal vitamin, which I know is for my
benefit, but don't any of the vitamins pass through my milk to him? ...

thawed ebm by
jake's mom
Does thawed EBM have an odor to it? I have just thrown 2 thawed EBM bottles
out because they had an odor--kind of like a plastic smell or maybe freezer
burn--it really bothers me to throw any bm out but better safe than sorry.
Our freezer door was left open for a few hours a couple of weeks ago...

red painful sores on nipple by
jake's mom
What could cause these--(only on one nipple)? I assume I need to keep on
feeding from that breast which is what I'm doing. I noticed a lot of pain
while feeding earlier this evening but did not think much about it because I
have pain at a certain time each month. I looked at the nipple later...

? about pumping at work by
jake's mom
Hi all,
I return to work on Friday(Boo hoo). DS will be 20 weeks old and Bf is
going great--got off to a rough start though. I want to pump at work so DS
doesn't have to have any formula and so my supply won't dwindle. He only
eats from one breast at a feeding now so is it safe to assume that I...

green poop by
jake's mom
What does an occassional green poop mean? I've read too much foremilk-not
enough hindmilk but DS only eats from one breast per feeding. Should I
stretch that out to 2 feedings? He had one green stringy poopy diaper
yesterday and one today. The other 4 or so poops he has everyday are...

Tara is 9months old. I breastfeed her, as well as give solids usually 2
times a day. She was introduced to a bottle at about 5 weeks old due to a

Pregnancy and b/f by
Jakob
How difficult is it to become pregnant while breastfeeding? We want to have
another baby, but we also want to continue to b/f the baby we have now.
FWIW, I've been b/f since my baby's birth and I haven't had a menstrual
cycle at all during this time, so I'm thinking it will be even more
difficult...

Going back to the bottle again by
Jakob
What I've done in the past is start out giving my baby the breast she
prefers. Then I try and switch to the less desired one. If I were you, I
would lay down with your baby and offer him the right breast. Then after
he's taken enough in so that he's not 'starving', offer him the left one,
still...
