Hi, I am trying to find a pattern to have a formal gown made so I can be in a wedding in late October. I'm 32w now so the baby will probably come anytime late September onward; I would be 43 weeks pregnant at the time of the wedding if I was REALLY late. So I'm a bit anxious about being in...

Hi, all! This last week has been tough for us; DH & I both fought off a cold bug, but my DD did NOT. She came down with a cold, and had the nighttime Croupy cough to go with it...we saw the Ped, and she said it's going around, not to worry, and just to make sure she rested & got plenty of fluids....

That's excellent Laurie : ) "Laurie" wrote in message ... Oddly enough, on my first night back at my old job, Christopher actually took *TWO* bottles from DH tonight! For a total of about 6 ounces or so. Yippee!!!!!!!! ...

My exclusively bf'd DD will be 6 months on Monday and has been going through a growth spurt. She nurses every 1-2 hours around the clock (every hour during the night). She used to have some 3-4 poppy diapers before but now she is having only about 1-2 poopy diapers. I thought that with the...

As I was checking out -- handing my chart to the check out person who looks at me and nods, not sure what that is all about -- she looks at me and says here, this is a free gift if you are interested. I took it, looked at the front which had a little Similac logo. So I smiled and said "Fie on you,...

Thanks so much for everyones replies. I didn't realise apple was a bunnger-upper! I seem to recall being told that a solution for constipation in a bottle fed baby was a teaspoon of apple juice with the formula, so I thought pure apple would be the same! Oh dear - I'm learning!! And DD is not...

My 8 month old daughter (who was a little bit larger than the doctor's thought she should be at birth) has all of a sudden stopped growing at the rate they think that she should be. She eats like a horse, she'll eat pretty much anything i'll let her eat. Yet, she is not gaining as they would hope....

testing, please ignore...

I'm nearly-37 weeks pregnant, and haven't received any formula samples in the mail! Yay!! I guess it's due to not allowing any maternity stores to put me on their mailing lists, not subscribing to any free baby magazines, and not registering at Babies R Us (all of which I did last time, and was...

I normally do not post, but I had searched these groups about 3 months ago looking for a cure for my newborn's cradle cap. It was the worst case I had ever seen. We tried everything, and it still stayed, after everyone's suggestions did not work, I finally found Paul Mitchell's Baby Don't Cry...

Hi all - just had to let you all know that in my new job (new side of the country - PERTH!) I have been working in a breastfeeding/baby friendly hospital. I have been a midwife for 17 months now, and loving it. I have strong feelings for breastfeeding and have helped many women and babies...

DS is 11.5 months and eats lots of solids, breastfeeds heaps & loves drinking water. but i have been wondering if breastmilk quenches an older baby's thirst or if as it is sweet, it doesn't? i would assume that their body would get hydrated, but what about the actual thirst? the reason i ask is he...
