A is 4 weeks today! She's still doing her nursing marathons. The nights and mornings are reasonable (every 2 hrs or so in the morning, overnight she'll go 4 hrs), but by the late afternoon she nurses non-stop until 10/11pm or so. She'll take some breaks for 10-15 mins, maybe one 45 min break,...

Okay, bf is getting pretty darned good at home; it is not constant at home anymore, but in public my dd always wants to feed. I think she just wants the comfort of the nipple when she is in strange places, but I still can't nurse on the move, so it's not feasible for her to be latched on while we...

Mostly I just lurk in this group. Lots of interesting topics. My 22 mo is still bfing. I work full time, so she was taking either ebm or formula until she was about 15 mos, and then we just went to bf mostly 2 times a day and milk from a cup. It seemed back then that she probably would have...

Just browsing and coming across useful articles! http://folsomobgyn.com/breast_milk_storage.htm

my pediatrician who made a very big deal about letting us know we should never let our newborn cry, and that we should always go try and fix his issues so that he could learn to trust in us, has suggested we let the Monk cry it out, alone in his room, at bedtime because he is a "trained...

We had our weight check, and my daughter has gained 7 ounces in the past two weeks! The pediatrician wants to do another weight check in 2 weeks, to keep an eye on things. She's also talking up testing for celiac disease, doing a thyroid check, and something else. I told her that we had a...

Okay, it's been a full week now, so I'm pretty sure that this post won't jinx things (but I'm knocking on lots of wood as I type). I think I can announce that DD has finally ended her nursing strike. For those who don't remember, she went for 5 days refusing to nurse AT ALL (except for maybe once...

does anyone know anything about this? I've mentioned on here before that we have taken Nathanael for tests in relation to him having occasional blood in his urine. I've just been phoned by the registrar who took blood at our last visit and one of the tests for clotting took longer than it should...

How do you know when you've got PND? I can't cope anymore. I'm dreading my DP going back to work. I'm tired and weary and I'm fed up with having to carry DS about in order that he doesn't cry. It's difficult going out to any other venue cos DS was vaccinated with an icicle and any temp over...

Anyone out there done this successfully? I had a miserable time pumping with my son when I went back to work. I went back to work full time. It was not until several months later, when the breastfeeding had already been ended, that I went to part time work 3 days per week. I have to go to a...

Well, DD and I have hit the 6 month target, after a very rocky start. I would just like to say thank you to everyone who posts here, as I have read so much wonderful information that seems unavailable in the books in our library. I feel quite proud that my little heffalump has gone from 7 lb 1 oz...

I'm a new mom and this is my first baby. I'm confused about feedings...heard mixed things. My baby is now 6 months old. I started on rice cereal at 5 months and then vegies. I did the orange veggies and now we are starting the greens. We started on once per day and now are at twice per day for the...

Hi Guys, I'm helping a good friend take care of their little one and we're starting to think that she may have a problem with reflux. We're going to see the doctor next week but I want us to be educated before we go in. Basically her DD sleeps on her side & doesn't like sleeping on her back or...

Wow, you guys make soap with your milk. That is so neat. :) A friend had this idea, which I think is a good one -- freezing some milk for a possible emergency situation with a new baby (rather than having to use formula, if some kind of problem arose and I wasn't able to nurse my newborn). But...

But only for tonight :D I picked up a small manual breast pump earlier today and thought I'd give it a shot. It was a decent price, and I can return it with exceptions within 90 days... I sat here pumping just now for what seems like forever. It was probably a good half an hour. Between...
