I pumped for 3 weeks while DD was in hospital so doing it is not a big deal. And I work in an office, normal office hours with a door which locks and a kitchen w/sink to wash things, so surely it should be no problem. AND, I work for the health dept which is pushing a big BF awareness campaign at...

*g* I have PCOS. DS was likely my only prior ovulation (and I have the ultrasound to prove I had a follicle (like DS wasn't enough), but since his birthday, I have had regular cycles, and suspected I was ovulating....this "cycle" was weird, but I decided to chart (haphazardly). tomorrow I'm...

maybe it's just me, but my milk flows much faster than the bottle, especially with a let down. it seems like I am trying to drown my DD sometimes. she gets very frustrated id she has to suck more than once or twice instead of just swallowing. She's 7 weeks old. I'm hoping this will taper off...

for at least 24 hours, or while I have fever. Symptoms started yesterday morning, including fever. I saw the doctor this morning. My reasoning says that she (dd, 10 1/2 months) has already been exposed and she *needs* the antibodies from me. He (dr) says I'm not making antibodies yet. I think...

Well, as you can tell from the subject line, the football hold did not turn out to be my saving grace. She saw it as an opportunity to not only pull my nipple out with one hand, but two! (stinker!!) However, I am happy to report that, after trying the football for a couple of days, we have gone...

There's a strong possibility that my baby (edd sept) will have to fly with me to Asia when I'm still on Maternity leave. I read on this ng before that some of the ladies took their babies at 2months. So is two months the earliest the baby can fly long distance? Are there any other contingencies...

My 3-month-old boy slept for 9 hours straight two nights ago! (His usual stretch is 7 hours without waking/eating--and he usually sleeps another 2 after a snack.) He also takes a 3 hour nap most afternoons (plus one or two shorter naps in the morning). Mind you, I know this is not a result of my...

I'm going to have to go to the dentist next week. I've been putting off going since last March (yes - an entire year) first because I was pregnant, and then because I was exclusively breastfeeding. I'm still exclusively breastfeeding, but I have a stash ( by no means huge) built up - so if I have...

Woo hoo guys, DS turned 3 months yesterday - and is still exclusively breastfed! He has not had anything else since around 6 weeks. I fed him formula during an outing when I was not in a position to nurse him - however, it was a complete once off. Since the 6 week mark, I have also nursed in...

wrote: All the resources I find seem to assume that the baby was started on solids at 4 months. So when things say that e.g. fork mashed stuff should be introduced at 6 months, it assumes that the baby has already had 2 months of puree. Once your child's been through the...

Hi ladies How long did you all bleed after delivery. My baby will be 3 weeks tomorrow and im still bleeding. Not very bad, but bad enough to wear a pad. I was reading in one of my books and it said the max you should have bleeding is 2 weeks and if it goes longer it could be because of pieces...

My daughter turned one on Friday, and we are still nursing up a storm! misc.kids.breastfeeding is where I first realised what an important thing breastfeeding is, that it can be hard, and that I might need to persevere. While we've had a pretty uneventful year, and I have mostly been lurking, but...

DD is a year old today! She is still about 95% exclusively BF, since she has little interest in food. We have no plans to quit anytime soon. We both love BF. I am so glad that I didn't give up in the early days (I had lots of problem with poor latch, thrush etc..). I think there were 3...
