see her message: can you give us advice? I will post it back to her. "I visited the breastfeeding and lactation board here at ivillage because I am having supply problems for what I thought was due to Brayden's ever changing feeding schedule. But they are telling me that I am overfeeding him....

I've just tried to look for something on hales online, usually I log in as guest and then I am able to search, but the site has been changed a bit and I can't search at all. What I'm looking for is what affect eyedrops for glaucoma might have, on another news group this is the reason a baby has...

could use some of us over there to defend this natural act.

I think it's time to start weaning. I really am fighting this, but feel it is best for us. What suggestions do you have to start this process? I don't want to traumatize her. We co sleep and I've nursed her to sleep from the start. ~Carol Ann

Several years ago I developed a short paper and pencil screening test which, in a small pilot study, discriminated between ADHD, LD, and control subjects. I recently converted this test to an online test in order to norm it to a larger population and, subsequently, to make it available to any one...

Wow, it's been ages since I have posted here (still lurk religiously tho:) but it I knew it was the place to come for the answers I need! Quick update: My YS is quite the rambunctious toddler. Still nursing strong @ just about 17 months. My longest nursling by far :) OS is growing like a...

Man, this seems to be a common theme around here lately...so I am now really wondering if DS truly does want to try some solids. On Anne's suggestion, I gave him some cucumber for his poor teeth and he LOVES it. Actually sucks the juice out of it, he's also sucking water out of the washcloth in...

Shamelessly lifted from the Midwifery Today newsletter: A Finnish study of 484 babies aged 7 to 18 months revealed a correlation between pacifier use and increased risk of ear infection (acute otitis media). The children were assigned to one of two groups: one group's pacifier use was restricted...

For those of you who have read this book, you'll understand about the logging for 24 hours - naps, bedtime routine and night wakings/feedings I found that Will has been getting just the right amount of sleep - just not in a row. The night I logged, he woke 13 times - 11 of which I had to do...

Quite suddenly, my little guy (28months old now) is having problems nursing. Its pretty hard to describe in words, but I'll try. When sucking, he by all outward appearances maintains latch, but every few sucks, he makes this strange squelching (is that a word?) noise from inside his mouth, almost...

In message , Rebecca Jo writes I do have some milk pumped & frozen for emergencies but if there isn't an emergency & there isn't someplace I need to go where the baby cannot also go, I see no reason to get him used to bottles. I'm...

Well I am breastfeeding again, but this little girl has a tiny mouth.. Kamron had a large mouth, and we did well. Erin latches on well with her top lip but not her bottom one. I am raw and tearful. Was thinking about using my pump for some relief... Andrea mom of 6 now...

In the past 2 weeks a few family members have started making noises about me weaning H (14 mo). I guess I'll have to start putting together some good comebacks. Usually I ream off the WHO recommendations, but I need some other comments for a particular family member who will always say something...

Ok, it's taking me about an hour to put him to sleep for nap times now, and he doesn't stay asleep for even an hour any more. This wouldn't feel so bad to me if I knew it was normal, so I am really interested in what your babies to WRT sleep... 1. How old is your baby? 2. How does he/she get to...

he is not very interested in anything other then breast milk, straight from the source. Will eventually take some EBM. NOt very interested in the range of solids, such as rice cereal, fruit, veg, whatever. will put a cruskit in his mouth but is still a bit little for this i think. so, any...

Oh Oobie, Oobie, Oobie, Oobie, Oobie, Oobie, Oobie, He's got a lot to see he's got a lot to do and he's always with you. I can't get the Oobie song out of my head.

I kept on trying to feed Erin. I rang the La Leche League for advice. Until Erin grows and can open her mouth wider this problem doesn't have a magic cure. She is trapping my nipple against her hard pallet. I did buy a mini-electric which isn't enough for full time pumping so am renting a hospital...

I have a question and figured this was as good a place as any to ask for advice. My wife has been unable to produce adequate milk to breastfeed our son and she feels inadequate as a result of this. I tell her that it's not her fault but she refuses to believe it. She seems to think that she...
