Does anyone know if I can use extra strength tylenol or alleve whilst breastfeeding? I have a fever and need to reduce it. Thank you, Helen

So...I just found out I won a cruise (!) in March - but my baby will only be 6 1/2 months old then, and by the rules of the contest everybody who goes has to be 21. So I can't take him with me. Is it possible to maintain our BF relationship if I'm away from him for a week? (With mad pumping...

Hello, I know this is a YMMV situation. However, I would like people's thoughts on this. I've been breastfeeding for almost 14 mo. Still no period. I would like my fertility to return. DS nurses approx. five times a day between the hours of 6 p.m. and 6 a.m. (this includes comfort nursing) I...

DS is almost 12 months old. He has never taken a bottle well at daycare and nurses a lot at night (we co-sleep) I used to have an over supply problem but now I notice that I'm "full" less and less. At night, DS will switch sides rapidly. I'm told this is an indication that he can't get enough...

Hello, This question is similar to the thread on post-natal depression but I'm dealing with anxiety. My midwife says sometimes post-natal depression can manifest as anxiety. However, I have been an anxious person nearly all my life. Now with the baby (my first, he's now 7 mo.), I am even MORE...

Hello, I know co-sleeping is discussed here a lot. I have some specific questions that I can't find answers to in the archive. Here's the situation: DS is nine months old and has been mostly co-sleeping. We have a crib right next to the bed but he rarely sleeps in it. He usually falls asleep...

1. Is anyone here familiar with ABA (Applied Behavioral Analysis)? 2. Is it's program effective for potty training? I have a son who is autistic and he has an ABA program. The consultant said there is a 'program' for potty training. He's done so well with the other programs that I would...

The researchers don't fully know either, but it's interesting to read...anyone here have access to JAMA? http://www.salon.com/mwt/wire/2003/09/30/baby_food/index.html -- 'Tis Herself

Nice to be back...I'll be catching up with posts as soon as my newsreader starts working properly!! -- Meself mom to P, 23/12/01

Does anyone remember the webpage that was reasons to not breastfeed, that was actually a breastfeeding manifesto? I looked and can't find it...and I want to print it up and show it to the friend (then drop the subject). -- 'Tis Herself

My friend, let's call her Linda, is 7 months preggers. She didn't really bf her first (now 3), and has just told me that she's not going to "bother" cause it's too much trouble and she can just chuck the bottles in the dishwasher anyway. And her hubby can therefore feed baby. She's not going to...

So, we're pretty sure that P is reacting to vinegar. Any time he has anything with vin in it, his chin breaks out. I'm at the end of my rope...if I have to give up vinegar, I don't know what to do. I love vinegar. I'm making some downstairs with Hungarian wine. Everything, including some of my...

If you wanted to join the Parents of Food Allergic Kids mailing list, there's a wait right now...guess there are too many people out there with food allergic kids! :-) Still, go sign up anyway, and they'll add you in turn. And if you have an extreme problem, it sounds like they'd add you...

P was sitting next to me on the couch, asking me to read him a book. All of a sudden, there was a little belch sound. I looked at him and said "What was that?" He looked at me, with a "duh" look and said "Burp." snort -- 'Tis Herself
