We've recently had more luck getting our 15 month old to sleep at night, but we're still working out the kinks. One problem is that he wants to stay up late at night -- he falls asleep at 10 pm at the earliest, and that's after a struggle. He wakes up for the day between 6 and 7 am, and takes one...

Is there a so-called "good time"? Our son turns three months today and we love having him between us at night in our smallish Queen size bed. We could care less about spit-up and peeps and poops on our sheets. It's made breastfeeding so much easier for me and our baby goes to sleep when we do and...

I still have a problem with my DS, I nurse one side and switch. how do I know when he is done? He will not let go! for five mins, some times less I feel full and hear allot of sucking and then it gradually slows to a fluttering tongue and one suck every 30 to 60 seconds some times with a swallow....

My son (10 days old) is a constant sucker... he likes to be sucking on something all the time. (just to let you know, I am not a demand feeder, I have him on a schedule and it works out better for him, my DD and my self)... any ways He will nurse for well over an hour and I listen for swallows, he...

I'm 36 weeks pregnant. I will *need* to go back to work around 4 months after the baby is born. I will initially go back 4 days a week until my baby is about 12 months old, and my MIL (Mother-In-Law) has offered to look after the baby during the 4 days I'm at work. Although my MIL could provide...

The researchers don't fully know either, but it's interesting to read...anyone here have access to JAMA? http://www.salon.com/mwt/wire/2003/09/30/baby_food/index.html -- 'Tis Herself

Hello, I'm a lurker and I've gotten so much great information from reading your posts. So thank you all for that! Now I have a question of my own to ask, and I couldn't find the answer in the Google archives. My son is 6.5 weeks old and exclusively breastfed. At around 4 weeks, everything was...

unfortunatly last night I was admitted to hospital and given morphine for pain, we had to give ds formula as I have no stash of ebm, I've now been released from hospital and I need to figure out when I can restart breast feeding. I was given morphine around 4.30 am. I was on nil by mouth so...

In December, I will be going to work *very* part time--6 hours per week (over two separate days), with the possibility of a few week night trainings (to which DH could tag along with the baby for nursing). My DS is presently one month old. I want to be able to leave a bottle of EBM with...

DD is 9.5 months. She's still only 16lbs, but in the 95th percentile for her age, so even though she's petite, she doesn't fit well into the rear facing carseat anymore. Just off hand, I think the cut off time is around 22lbs and 1 yr old. We'll be going to Europe in December, so we need to...

We're taking a trip to CA soon to visit friends there. We'll be staying with a family with two girls, ages 3.5 and 1. My kids are 3.5 and (then) 3 months old. We four adults are planning to go into SF (about 1 hour from the family's house) to see a Billy Crystal show that looks great. We plan to...

My 8.5 months old dd chews, licks, gnaws everything. I can only clean so much. I know this day and age everything has chemicals in it. I'm worried that this habit will harm her. She's been chewing everything since she was 3 months old. When will this end? Does this indicate a problem? We are...

on another thread somebody mentioned that some of the cute girlie dresses don't come with short underpants to cover the diaper. Turns out I have about a dozen of these. I got presents for my daughter from relatives from overseas where it's not common to attach a matching underpants to the dress...

Amazon says it will take 1-2 months to get Medications and Mother's Milk. None of the local bookstores have it. Any idea why it take so long to get it? Any other places to try? TIA Molly

Does anyone know where to buy baby slings in Hong Kong? Is the only way through ordering them on the internet? If so, appreciate it if anyone could forward me the website for them. I already have a Sling Ezee but would like to get one of those batik slings, which are more suitable for warm Hong...

I finally went and bought a new bra only to discover my boobs seemed to have disappeared! I knew they would go southwards due to bf'ing, but not actually reduce in size. I suppose a bit of it is the weight loss, but not that much. Foo!

I know that Dr. Thomas Hale is a Professor of Pediatrics at the Texas Tech University School of Medicine and he researches Breastfeeding Pharmacology. But where does he get the funding for his research? Does anyone know if the drug companies fund his research? -- Brigitte aa...

I'm scheduled to meet with the surgeon on September 4th to have my gallbladder out, having finally had an attack bad enough (and during office hours) that I was willing to call for the appointment. I'd like to get a copy of Hale's to take with me, in case either of us have any questions. ...
