I do need advice about my gassy baby. DD is 5 weeks old and she is getting fussy in the evening recently. DH & I suspect DD might suffer from gas by the end of the day. I have talked with the community nurse, and she suggested us to use gas relieve drop, but still it has not improved. And another...

Hi all DS is 5 days off 6 months. As he seemed interested in everything we ate, is learning to sit up well and is a big boy we thought we'd offer him a bit of parsnip and bm puree on Christmas day. His face was a pictu). It was as if we had offered him a plate of soured lemons!. Anyway, since...

I have just been prescribed antibiotics to clear up mastitis :(. The GP I saw advised me not to feed on that side for while but pump. Can I keep the pumped milk for later use? He said it's no problem bf'ing with the antibiotics so I can't see a problem but thought I'd check. Thankfully I caught...

Any ideas why this might be? It's mustard yellow but no seed. Ds has a cold but usually that sends them green and snot like. Had nothing but bm and some Calpol. Sorry if you are eating when reading this!:) Jeni

For the first time since Ds was born we had Dh's sister and partner (although now ex, they seemed fine this morning?!)over for dinner last night. Starter: Naichchips (tortilla chips sprinkled with cheddar cheese and chipped chillies). Fine. I've been eating chillies throughout pregnancy and bf...

I was wondering at what age your baby slept through the night without a feed. DS will be 5 months in a week and currently he feeds at 6pm, 10.30pm, 3-4am and then 7am through the night, The advice seems to be that if he doesn't sleep through by 6 months (say for 6 hours 11-5am or better) then I...

dd suck her thumb since she was 3 mos old. Now she is 10 mos, still using sucking thumb to sooth herself into the dreamland. However, I found that is a problem now cuz she has 4 teeth and some how she bites herself badly and make a very deep cut on her thumb. Well she never complain about that,...

I am not sure whether I should post my question here .. but please help if anyone has suggestion. Dd, who is almost 10 mos old, starts sleep thru the night when she is 5 mos old. However, this week, she kept waking up in the mid of the nite. The main reason (I think), she poo in the middle of the...

My dd is turning to 9 months next week. I started solid on her when she turned 6 months, and start with rice cereal. She loves it very much even now. However, I start feeding her with meat when she turned to 8 months, started with Turkey. She seemed to be ok; however, this week, I start feeding her...

Hi All: I exclusively brestfeeding my 7 weeks old DD since born. Past 2 week I found that there are white spots on my nipple. A nurse told me that they are casued by plugged milk duct. Does anyone have a good way of clearing them? Will that cause infection if I leave them there? TIA

Dear all, After 4 months exclusive bfing, I think it is time to teach my dd to use bottle with ebm. In fact, dh used to feed her once with bottle every Saturaday and my mom will do that once with bottle every Sunday while mom helping us to babysit dd. However, dd doesn't really like the bottle,...

Hello everybody! I am at my wits end once again. The past two nights I slept only about 1.5 hours..... My son (20 days) has become a nightowl. He used to be real good. I swaddled him, he'd wake up around 2.30 or 3.00 a.m., after having had his last feeding between 11.00 p.m. and 0.30 a.m. (I nurse...

Hello everybody! I have been researching diaper rash on misc.kids.breastfeeding and on other places on the net. I am a bit confused which foods should be avoided. To start from the beginning: My little one is breastfed and he has a constant diaper rash. We use both disposables and cloth and there...

Hello everybody! Here's Jen, delurking once more to ask the people in misc.kids.breastfeeding for advice. My boy (7 weeks) pretty much has had a diaper rash from day one. I tried everything, including fungal cream. Sometimes it went away, but it always came back with a vengeance. Since a few days I...

Has anyone ever used the Medela SNS to feed two babies simulatiously? I've tried to use it twice now, with the largest tubes attached, but it seems like nothing flows out of it. Does this mean the babies just aren't sucking hard enough, or is there some adjustment that I'm missing. I thought...

Hi All Well, I plan to bf #2 but I've got a few questions that someone might be able to help me with. With ds I bf'd till he was 15 months, but the early days were hell and I was an inch away from giving up. The main issue was sore, cracked and split nipples. I got through it with the help of...

Hi Sorry to start a new post instead of replying to the other one, but for some reason my newsreader will only let me see 10 headers and I just can't find out how to change it. Anway - thanks for your replies Mary and Anne. It's deffo not inverted, not thrush or a milk blister - I haven't bf...

On the phone to my dad last night talking about egg passing through bm (ds has an egg allergy). He says: So, when you are you going to stop breastfeeding? The tone of his question was not a positive enquiry. This surprised me as he has shown no interest whatsoever in William's feeding. Quick as a...

I tried to post this last night, so apologies if it appears again. I never thought I'd be saying this but William and I have reached 1 year of bf'ing, albeit mixed feeding. He has gone down to 2 bf's a day, one brief one before bed and a longer one in the morning and has 2 bottles of formula at...

Hi All Before I post my BA and BS on m.k.p I could do with some advice. Despite thinking I knew what I was doing second time round I am again having horrible problems bf'ing. After 4 days of the baby being unsatisfied after every feed I spoke to bf consultant who suggested my latch isn't right....
