My 4 month old DD is finally after a long battle accepting the bottle with EBM, Yesterday for the first time she drank 4ounces but she seemed to be still be hungry after that. I breast feed her for another 10 minutes and she seemed satisfied. I have yet to be separated from her for more than an...

Well, I just spent most of last week at the La Leche League international conference in San Francisco. I did not go to any classes as I was helping Maya Wrap debut the MamaBaby sling I designed. But it was incredibly fun! So many nursing mamas, so many slings.... I got a Zolowear sling, which...

Friend of mine and her bf are splitting up.... he wants custody. Baby is 8 months and bf... He wants "equal time" before the hearing... and said, "If she wants the baby breastfed, she should pump and send milk along. I was weaned at 3 months and I'm fine." beats head against any hard...

Seven weeks ago: 14 pounds 7 oz Three weeks ago: 14 pounds 9 oz One week ago: 14 pounds 8 1/2 oz. Tonight: 14 pounds 14 oz. Today she ate about 1/4 banana, with a tablespoon of coconut milk fat and a teaspoon of peas, a teaspoon of applesauce and a heaped tablespoon of rice with another level...

http://www.registerguard.com/news/2004/01/16/d1.cr.infantdeaths.0116.html I'm so ****ed about this. Especially this quote: "In each of the local cases last year, the infants were subject to multiple risk factors aside from co-sleeping, such as having parents who smoked or used alcohol or drugs,...

Many of you may have seen Dr. Karp do a cameo on Dr. Phil's show a few weeks ago. His book, "The Happiest Baby on the Block" was tightly summarized on the show, which highlighted his "Five S" technique for calming crying babies. I contacted him because I kept wanting that list to include slings and...

Well, I posted this to MKP and it showed, but the post a minute later, here, didn't. Go figure. I'll be in NYC at Upper Breast Side on Dec 22 (Monday) at 11 am. I'll be at Mama Nurture at 3:30. I'll be helping people with slings and baby carriers, whatever they need help with. No RSVP needed,...

snip the entire thing because.... If you have to ask the question in the header, the answer is generally "yes." Jenrose

Can't remember which ones I've posted about, but since my last sling post, I've tried a bunch more, so here are all of the recent results: In no particular order Funniest sling: From Chic Papoose www.chicpapoose.com , the design called "Chuck". This is a simple pouch sling, reversable (that is,...

My 10 year old (no she didn't nurse) was having a "lonely spell" last night and needed a cuddle, so I let her snuggle up to me in bed. It's a heck of a lot different snuggling next to a 10-year-old than a 4-year old! Her feet came down to my feet... sigh She fell asleep with her head on my...

Well, it's that time again... I'm working on a new issue of Midwifery Today. As always we are on the lookout for new photos and new photographers. In particular, for this issue, I'm laying out an article on nursing during pregnancy (not quite tandem, but close) which needs photos. We would...

Two bottom teeth. And a desire to test Mommy's responses. She drew blood. Mommy managed NOT to fling baby across the room. Mommy did not manage keep from screaming bloody murder. Daddy tried to be solicitous but Does Not Get It. Ow.

Shiny is 10 months tomorrow. My newsserver tanked and my life got outrageously busy, so I'm only here on Google occasionally anymore. Let's see: Good news: She's up to 16 pounds, is sitting up well and starting to support her weight on her legs, and she's the darlingest sweetest, easiest baby I've...

When Shiny turned about 7 months old, the doctor finally took me seriously when I worried that her gain had plateaued over the past 7 weeks. We'd started her on solids at just over 6 months, and discovered to our delight that she took to thick, chunky banana like a champion. Just scrape a little...

Today Shiny had her first non-me dairy product. Plain goatmilk yogurt. Her first bite... she made the funniest face, which would have put me off if it wasn't exactly the face she makes for Coconut Bliss (coconut-based ice cream)... it's her "That's so cold, Mommy!" face...but her little mouth was...

Just a note that the Babywearing Conference I'm coordinating has a registration deadline coming up June 1.... Conference is in Portland, OR from Aug. 3-6 this summer. It looks like it's going to be a lot of fun... we've got a lot of moms, educators and manufacturers coming together for 4 days to...

Switching to the laptop, some of my links didn't make it over, and my time has been limited, so it's been a while since I checked in. The news here is mostly good: 1. Shiny has graduated from the audiologist and no longer needs hearing aids! This rarely happens--the hypothesis is that her brain...

Shiny is two, and still nursing. She'd gotten down to about 3 feeds a day, but a tummy bug has set her to nursing semi-constantly, and since she's mostly not biting me, I'm letting her. In early March, I was doing some research and found a connection between a syndrome called Coenzyme Q10...
