This has been a long time coming but it's finally here! Not sure which hospital, but it's in Perth and has been open since 25th August. There was an article on it in last week's Who magazine but my copy got recycled due to a big clean-up prior to a whole lot of family coming over for Father's...

Greetings! With all this talk of people being complained to about NIP, I thought that I'd share my good story, and also let you guys know that I truly wish that I could bonk some of these people upside their heads when they tell bf moms to "go to the restroom" or "go elsewhere". They are wrong,...

Just wondering, for those of you who are nursing toddlers, do you continue to do so on request or did you set limits at some proscribed time? Nancy

I don't know if anybody remembers me, but I posted here quite a bit when I was pregnant with Victoria. I was only able to nurse my other two children for a combined total of four months, and I was determined to breastfeed Victoria. I got some excellent input from people here, but what helped me...

DD is 7 weeks today and doing great (still some rash, but otherwise ok). We've got 5 weeks til daycare.... She adamantly refuses a bottle. Any tips other than patience and persistence? DH gives it and I leave the room. We've tried a couple of different nipples. Now, she was never good with the...

Bleah. I got through an entire pregnancy without being sick, and am all out of practice. Vaporizer and hot water with honey and lemon and ibuprofen and DM cough syrup and cough drops are not cutting it. I'm dying for a dose of Sudafed, but I really don't want to risk a supply dip...

Well, Bug had her first goop yesterday over at Babu and Grampa's house for Thanksgiving. She's now made of both mommy and Lundberg family farms rice. We gave her rice cereal and EBM out of my baby bowl. The expression on her face with the first bite was priceless -- "What the HELL?!?!?". But...

I had thrush 3 times in 5 months. The first time when after I gave birth which lasted for 2 months(Cesarian), then when he was 3 month old. Lasted 3 weeks. Now again when he was 5 months old. I have had it for the past month. he turns 6 months old soon. I Used fluconozale the first two times and...

Hi Everyone, I have an 18month old who I'm ready to wean from BF. During the day he will drink some regular/whole/organic milk and he likes it just fine. He can actually go the whole day without nursing and he doesn't seem bothered or upset by this at all. At night he still wakes up 3-4 times...

I always said we wouldn't be giving YoungBloke a dummy. For a start I have always been happy to feed him whenever he wanted, and anyway, he found his thumb pretty quickly so he was happy with that. Until recently, that is, when he's wanted to put anything he can find into his mouth, but no matter...

excuse the top post and follow on to my own post, but I've just been reading kellymom and feel a lot better, but would still welcome your comments, especially with regards to my continued weight loss impacting her weight gain. cheers, Leah "azure" wrote in...

Help! I'm going back to work full-time tomorrow and I though I was all prepared... pump is at work - check frozen milk in freezer - check baby takes bottles - check lots of milk storage bags - check ....but then my DH (who is staying home with the babe) asked me a question I couldn't answer. If we...

My baby girl will be 1 in about 2 weeks :-( The *problem* i'm having is that she is not interested in solids hardly at all. She will take 2 - 3 bites of something before starting to spit it out and not take anymore. She wants to nurse a lot. I don't mind the nursing but I really want her...

Hi, Could someone please check Hale's for Clindamycin (orally taken) for both breastfeeding and pregnancy (if he has it). I've just been scripted some for a gum infection. I've done a google search and it looks okay but all the dates are pre 2000 or not for the oral verison. Also the denist...

There was an advert in the local paper the other week to become a "Breastfeeding Peer Supporter Volunteer" It's a scheme that the local HV's are setting up for mums-to-be and new mums so they can speak to some one who had been there, seen that etc. I just filled in my application form! -- Clare L

I just wondered if anyone else experiences the same thing we have going on. DD is almost 17 months and still mostly bf'd. She does not eat a whole lot of anything on a regular schedule although she often grazes on whatever I happen to be eating. Anyway, since we started on solids (around...
