We just got home from DS's seven-month WBV (okay, his six-month visit, one month late!). DS turned seven months this past Wednesday (10-8). The stats: At birth he weighed 6 lbs 14 oz. and was 20 inches long. At 6 weeks, he was 10.2 lbs, 22.25". Ten weeks: 13 lbs, 23.25". Today: (drumroll)...

Breastfeeding has not been the get thin magic I expected. I am as fat as a hippo and hungry all the time. I feel like nothing ever fills me up, and I am going for stuff like pasta and potatos that used to do the trick. Moo is still feeding all the time but I have adjsuted my attitude and just...

I can't believe it's been 8 months already, what happened to all that time? How many gallons of milk do you think we have produced? Moo has 2 teeth but has only bitten me a couple of times when I wanted to unlatch him. He does this horrible mangling thing on my mipple when he is teething and I...

Nathanael had is 8 month check today. Everything seems to be fine, he weighed 6.62kg (still below 0.4th centile) and his head circumference was 45cm (haven't checked that). We need to get a urine sample from him as he's had some more episodes of blood in his urine. We also have to take him to the...

My baby girl is 8 1\2 months old. She co sleeps with me and always has, I prefer it. (TMI)...I sleep with no shirt so it's easier to nurse her, but here's my problem. She wants to stay latched almost constantly. She seems to wake every hour or so to nurse. We both just fall back to sleep but...

So here I am...still bfing :)))))) I never expected to bf for so long specially having had a failed bf'ing attempt with my first son (long story, NICU baby, nipple confusion, mastitis, lack of support, etc...) so I took one day at a time with my baby girl and althogh we had a very rough start...

Hey, I can't let teapot and her crew have all the fun, now can I? :P My little bug just turned eight months today, and I can't believe the time's going so fast. Who else has an eight-month old? Offhand, I can think of two: ted and FayeC. Who else have we got, and how are you doing? DS crawls...

Moo boy is asleep in my lap after a good feed so excuse typos. Nights are on and off, more off than on as he has just cut a top tooth and has a cold. I tried to cut down on night feeds but as he is not feeling well I am back to on demand, every 3 hrs last night which is an improvement. 'This...

Alexander had his 9 month appointment today & his shot. They checked his iron levels & they were good. :) He doesn't crawl yet but he gets up on his hands and knees and rocks sometimes. He pulls himself around with his forearms (army crawl) and pushes with his toes. He pulls himself standing and...

Our pediatrician's office called yesterday, to remind us of an appointment we weren't aware we'd made - apparently the ditzy receptionist had her March calendar open when we were making an April appointment. (We'd shifted scheduling so Caterpillar could get her osteopathic manipulation at the...

Emily is now 9 months. She eats everything she can get her hands on. She's happy and healthy, but has no teeth. Not even a hint of a tooth. Is this abnormal, or just part of the varying degree of "normal"? Also, she still only weighs 17 lbs, despite her good eating. I'm not concerned, but...

Hi, I apologize in advance to those of you who will say "Gee...what a problem...your baby sleeps for eight hours straight. Try having the opposite problem!". Actually, I know what that's like too...DD#1 seemed to only sleep for 15 minutes at a time for the first several months of her...

Hi all, I return to work on Friday(Boo hoo). DS will be 20 weeks old and Bf is going great--got off to a rough start though. I want to pump at work so DS doesn't have to have any formula and so my supply won't dwindle. He only eats from one breast at a feeding now so is it safe to assume that I...

Hi everyone, Well I have a few ? and need a bit of advice. Emma is 16wks to-day. She was born on the 91st centile at 37wks and after sitting on the 50th centile till about 10wks has dropped down to the 25th. She was 7lb 7.5oz at birth and now weighs 11lb 8oz. So averaged out she has just about...

Well, I've finally had the baby and she's just over 3 weeks old and breastfeeding like a champion. Things are going pretty well for us, except that in the evenings she becomes quite unsettled and appears to have a lot of what I can only describe as "gas". She becomes unsettled around 7:30 pm...

I know it's normal for babies to feed continuously for a couple hours in the evening. DD did that, usually from about 7:00 to 10:00 every evening. I wouldn't have a problem with that. DS had been doing that, but over the past few days it's been getting longer and longer - starting earlier and...
