Came across this poll I think this group would find interesting.... http://www.pollmenow.com/poll.aspx?goto=336 So far it's pretty even between "yes" and "depends on the setting".

There's a new nursing pillow on the market, My Baby's Nest. It appears to be good for larger mothers or those who have had C-sections. It's expensive, but maybe it would be worth it for some mothers. What do you think? http://www.mybabysnest.com

I used them last time with DS but they didn't breathe and I think they made my yeast infections worse, so I stopped using them, but I really needed something. I leaked a lot last time, so I'm looking for something for after this pg. I think cotton ones would breathe better than those...

I have epilepsy and am on Tegretol. I have 4 kids but I didn't breastfeed any of my children except for my youngest. I didn't do enough research at the time and all the Dr.'s and nurses at the hospitals discouraged me from nursing. When my 3 year old was born he was in ICU. They still...

Hi, I have a friend with an 11 month old son, and she is about 2 months preg. with her 2nd baby. Initially she was going to nurse no. 1 till he weaned, but she is finding it increasingly painful, and is getting tempted to wean him. He is teething at the moment, which doesn't make things...

Does anyone have or use one? I've seen them on several natural baby type sites and I think I might order one. Xander has become easily distracted while nursing and has done the string cheese thing to my nipple more than once in the last few days. I just thought I'd ask here first to see if anyone...

DD is starting to become distracted while nursing, so much going on with her older sister, friends and pets roaming around the house all day, somtimes it is just the sun shining thru the window that is a distraction. Sometimes she jerks her head to see what is going on and it can be quite painful....

Hi everybody Somebody wrote a message about their little one nipping the breast when they are nursing and how to stop it ..... I replied saying that a nursing necklace had worked really well for us .... I was talking absolute rubbish, DD is now bored with the nursing necklace and I have pinch...

Hello All, My son will be operated on to have his cleft lip fixed this week. It's an incomplete cleft of the lip and part of the gum. The surgeon explained to us about the procedure and said that we can continue to breastfeed the baby (2 month-old) afterward. However, we're deeply concerned that...

I finally figured it out. I've been trying to get the hang of the snuggle hold, since she likes to be more upright. So I put her in, and we walked around for a little bit trying to get us both comfy. Eventually I noticed her nose was right at nipple level, pulled up my shirt, and shoved her on. ...

"lynn" wrote in message ... And could anybody reccomend a bottle that i could start trying to fed him w/ as an alternative. I'm currently trying the dr brown but he does not like the nipple. I did the Playtex...

My sister-in-law is 32 weeks pregnant with number two and is interested in breastfeeding. She did not bf her first for all the wrong reasons and now after seeing me succeed at it with my 19 week old she wants to bf. The problem is that she has very little confidence in her abilities and doesn't...

Hi all, My daughter (just about 4 months old) is refusing to feed from one side, and nurses perfectly from the other side. She is exclusively bf and latches like a champ normally. Any ideas what could be causing her to do this? Any ideas to get her back to nursing both sides? Thanks in...

DD was sleeping almost through the night until 3 nights ago...now she is in this crazy 1every hour nursing spree but the confusing part is...it is only through the night.... She will nurse at 9-10pm then 1am, 2am, 3am, 4am, 5am, 6 am, 8am, 10am...then stretches the nursings during the day to every...

Just wondering when you all felt that you had your nursing established by? Is it generally not established until after the 6 week growth spurt or can it be established beforehand? -- Marie Mum of 3 DD born 03/98, DS1 born 11/99 DS2 born 08/03

Alena won't stop nursing. I'm getting about 15 minutes between each session. Should I be worried that I don't have enough milk? Or is everything normal and she'll be just fine after a little while. -- Lina Alena born July 1st, 2003 www.maternalinstinctscanada.com

Hi, I was wondering what your favorite nursing bras are, and what you would recommend. Any comments? Karen

check out these beautiful nursing bras! www.nummies.ca

Can anyone, who is well endowed 38DD+, please tell me what brand of Nursing Bra you use and find most comfy with lots of support? I don't really want the uniboob you get from sports bra types and I'd like something that won't make me look like an old hag. Thanks a bunch!!!
