After all my complaining about lack of sleep, I thought I'd share the good too. Last night Jaden went to sleep by 9:30, woke at 3:00, nursed for 10 minutes, played with the rocking chair pad and looked around his room for 10 minutes, started yawning so I put him back to breast, nursed for another...

I'm flying soon and I'd like to take some EBM in a bottle for DS for the flight. They are confiscating liquids. Not sure what to do about this...as I'd like not to have to DUMP my milk if I bring it. Anyone know? Thanks. maureen

Emily is 5 months now. I was at the dentist with her yesterday for my own checkup, and the dentist was very surprised to find that I didn't have her on fluoride drops yet. He said they start right around this time, and wondered why my ped hadn't mentioned it. Fluoride drops? Yeah, I know what...

Ok I don't mean when they are happy to lie there watching the flashing lights and hearing the sounds, I mean when is it no longer ok to cuddle them while watching a movie with violence, language etc as they might be picking up on it? I don't want to be exposing my DD to things that might...

amalgam extraction? for prego ladies or breast feeding types. IF this is bad, ohw long should the lady stop BF the child a few days? also amalgam installation in preparation for a crown, is this bad? Once the crown covers the amalgam, is all well again? Thanks

Poor little 3-months-and-one-week-old Sprogly has his first cold. This, of course, is right after I'd congratulated myself that he hadn't caught the cold Bloke and I had around Thanksgiving. He's snuffy and has a cough. He's feverish, his temp is around 100-101F. Poor little bubby is just...

I think we may have finished breastfeeding. Dd (14 months) was only nursing before bed until the weekend and since then she hasn't nursed at all. I am not sure how I feel about it really but I've been trying to find out what sort of feelings to expect and I haven't had any luck so thought I'd try...

A really BAD cough? I've had a cold -which starts with flu like symptoms but no fever - every 2 weeks for months now. It gets better after a week then the next week starts again. This time, it's at its worst, and the drainage (finally - I was having a really hard time breathing at all, even...

I would say Motrin. Ibuprofen (motrin) helps with muscular pain and reduces swelling. -- Sue (mom to three girls) I'm Just a Raggedy Ann in a Barbie Doll World... Michelle Podnar wrote in message ... Hello,

I'm in my 36th week, and am wondering what sorts of things one can do while breastfeeding. I understand lots of women watch TV. I have lots of books I've started to read and haven't finished so I'd like to get that done while breastfeeding. What do others do?

I wound up with mastitis for the first time - and my nurseling is nearly 2 years old! I thought it was rare this far into a trouble-free nursing relationship? I woke up Wednesday morning (after having no symptoms previously) with a sore breast, and felt awful - fever and muscle aches (on top of...

For the past 24 hours or so, our DD (4 weeks tomorrow, exclusively bf'ed) has been behaving differently than usual. I'm worried about her and wondering what might be causing this...ANY opinions are welcome. She has had VERY bad gas and has been pooping a lot...about 1/2 of the time with some...

Can someone explain to me what breasts feel like

I once breastfed my 17 year old step brother. After my nipples felt sore and were erect for 4 hours. I love breast milk. please e-mail me back saying you'd like to put it in my pooper

Hey, I have to ask! This is new territory to me. I've always worked and worked full time. It was a neccessity before as a single mom. Now I'm married, and we have determined the family is better off if I don't work. So now what do I do? The house is clean, the groceries stocked up, dinner is...

I posted this message to mkp earlier today, but thought I'd ask people here for an opinion also ..... Hmmmm, I was so sure AF was starting after a tiny bit of spotting on Tuesday (29 days since the D&C) ... guess I jumped the gun as there's been nothing since. The bleeding from the D&C had...

I have this excruciating pain in my right breast. Not the whole breast hurts, but one area in kind of a line from top to nipple. It almost feels like an intense engorged pain, and all night it throbbed. It's agony! But I don't feel a hard lump or anything to indicate a clog. I'm pumping...

There is a lot of debate raging on parenting bulletin boards about breastfeeding advocacy, how it should be done, why it's necessary, if it's necessary etc. It seems like a lot of people are offended by BF advocacy itself - or what they perceive it to be - and as such there is a bit of a backlash...

I'm terrified of DD choking....she's 7.5 months now, has one tooth. She doesn't quite have the pincer grasp, altho she's getting there. She's not too thrilled with the pureeed solids. well, some days she is, others not at all. She definitely likes picking at our plates. So suggestion was made to...
