My daughter (16 days old) has been sleeping ALL day today and it's got me worried. This is something new...she usually naps on and off through the day, but I've never seen her sleep like this. Normally she sleeps for 2-4 hours and then is awake and alert for a couple of hours in between before...

My DD is 3.5 years old and still nursing twice a day. Her brother is 5 months and nursing a lot more, so obviously my milk is copious right now. Recently, as she went to the bathroom to pee, she screamed in pain. I took her to the ped that day and they found blood, protein and extra white...

Before ds was born I intended to nurse him through the first year, it hadn't occured to me that longer might be good. Now I'm better educated, it's best for him to carry on longer and I intend to let him self wean. The problem is my mum and my friends, they all think I am nuts, they already think I...

I know it's really hard to tell how much a baby gets when you are breastfeeding directly. Maybe if that is what I was doing, I wouldn't worry so much. Since I am pumping and bottle feeding, I am aware of how many ounces Emily eats and how little it has changed since she was born. I pump 40-48...

Hi - I have a friend who does the following with his child, and he claims to have read all the Parenting magazines and literally calls himself an "expert" on raising kids (he has one, that is 2 yrs old so far). He disagrees with me that these things are detrimental to his child's physical and...

I wanted to post a followup on my ds. MANY months ago, I posted a message about how he had diarrhea off & on constantly--as well as lots of spitting up on those days. Well, I tried varying my diet and really didn't find much except confusion, as he would get it when I was just eating rice,...

Hi all, I took DD to her 2-week WBV this week and found out she's gone from 7 pounds, 9 oz. at birth to 9 pounds, 8.5 oz. by day 17! She's 22 inches long (same as at her birth) and the doctor said she was "very symmetrical," in that her body measurements are now all in the 95th percentile for her...

With #2 becoming imminent, I'm trying to think if there is anything I/we did with ds that I would like to NOT do with #2. I'd love to hear anyone else's things they did do or would do differently. I can think of two big ones for me. The first thing that comes to mind is a habit I let ds get into,...
