Hi! My name is Johane. I'm a SAHM/WAHM in Canada. I have 4 kids under 9, and I homeschool. I follow more an AP style of parenting. We have fish and birds for pets and today I got my water back! (It was gone for about a week...) I have been nursing now for 9 years straight. Each child kind...

Hi all I was reading through the 'Breast is Best' book and came across a section in it that outline 'some' reasons that might put you off bf. Mostly they are fairly daft and easily overcome but there is one that has alarm bells in my head. It mentions that Intussesception is more common in...

Hello. I haven't been in this group for a few years, but I was checking in to see what people were saying about the iparty incident we saw on the news. http://www3.whdh.com/news/articles/local/BO50217/ Did I fail to see the discussion, or did nobody talk about it because this kind of thing isn't...

Your "breasts are not just for selling more beer" comment is the title of an article about the Burger King Nurse-In in Germany's major weekly news magazine! And you're quoted with your full name ;-) Here's the link http://www.spiegel.de/spiegel/0,1518,275297,00.html -- Tatjana PCOS - TTC #1 for...

Or is it all over the world as well? It is here, and there was just a radio show on about bf'ing...mainly, in public. The co-host of the show had a child, and bf'ed, and went through the first few weeks of hell, but it sounded like she perservered and all was good. And good on the Irish...most...

Hello, My dietician has advised me that DD is likely to be lacking in iron and zinc - she has done a detailed investigation into her diet. (They don't do blood tests for these things in my practice - do they do them at all in the UK?) My question is - How much as a %age of DD's requirements for...

Hi I am not sure if this is the right place for this post but I am wondering if anyone who has given or giving iron drops to their LO can help me out. My DD has been having dark green to almost black stools since starting iron drops (i think this is normal, excess iron in stool) but her stools...

pre-pregnancy, AF was always really, really regular. it was 29 days on the dot. when i was a teenager it even used to come at 8am. after DS, AF came back at exactly 5 mths (we are now at 19 mths) but my cycles seem a little irregular. they can be anything from 26 days to this one which is so far...

I'd appreciate tips and advice on weaning a 16 month old. She's down to 1 feed a day - the reunion feed after I pick her up from the childminder's (I work full-time). When we get home she's like a boob-junkie! Cross, irritable, clingy, whingy until she gets her feed and then she's a different...

I have a 3 month old boy that only eats breastmilk, yet my doctor suggests that I give him a whole dropper-full of multi-vitamins every day. I'm not excited about this because it is no joy trying to feed this icky stuff to the baby every day, not to mention that I take a multi-vitamin...

I came by to say hi and am so dismayed by all the spam! It makes me sad to think of what this group used to be like just a few years ago. Where does everyone go now for bf discussion/questions? Who's still here? I miss you all. Lorelei is 3years and 5 months and still nursing for naps and...

Hi, My baby boy is six months old, he is 15 ponds.he is breastfeeding child, but i'm sure how much he takes breastmilk, as i'm not giving him bottle. i tried my best to give him atleast one bottle but he don't know how to suck it so he is just taking breastmilk according to his wish....now i'm...

Our 13 week old, up until last week, had settled himself down into a fairly regular feeding pattern (vaguely every 3 hours) and I was 'persuading' him to have sleeps regularily when he was tired - telling by his eye rubbing, nigglyness and eyes closing but him startling himself awake. These sleeps...

My DD was given only formula for the first 10 days after her birth. Since then she's been exclusively on breast milk. Now, after 7 months of exclusive bfing, I'm having to supplement because of supply issues. Nobody in my family has lactose intolerance. I love all milk products. I eat lots of low...

I just can't get Morgan to sleep without me holding her or having her suck on my breast constantly. I am really going crazy. Is it EVER okay to let your newborn cry in her crib? If so, for how long? ~Carol Ann

DD is nearing on eight months and still refuses to eat anything solid. We've tried mashed food, jarred food (smoother than I can make it), chunks of solid food and even teething biscuits (I know, they're a choking hazard) and nothing works. She either purses her lips (she's a stubborn one) or, in...
