i can't stand it anymore. i have to tell! saturday i was tired. and sunday i was tired. really, really tired. so on the way in to the supermarket i stopped at the dollar store and picked up a pregnancy test. i didn't expect it to come up positive. i'd been really tired and taken a test about 6...

I just got back from seeing my doctor. She had three ideas about how to deal with my never-ending spotting: try dong quai (a chinese herb I know pretty much nothing about); try acupuncture (not a likely choice for me, it's not my style, it's probably not covered by my insurance, and who would...

While this is an interesting question, I think you are asking in the wrong places. First of all, the pregnancy newsgroup is primarily frequented by those who are pregnant, and therefore not yet (or no longer) feeding an infant. And the breastfeeding newsgroup has very, very few readers who are...

Hi there. I have a DS who is almost 8 weeks old. Since he was 3 weeks, I've pumped his lunch so DH could give it to him. Over the last week or so he's been eating more at that feeding -- 5-6oz. However, in one pumping session, double pumping using a Medela pump-in-style, I tend to only get about...

Hi Cheryl, I've been lurking here for about three years, and I ve been looking for a good excude to start posting. My son is almost 17 months old, but at 4 months, he was exactly like Jaden. He was never the best sleeper, but he made constant progress, and by three months he was sleeping 5 or...

Hi, I thought I'd introduce myself. I'm 37 years old and 21 weeks pregnant with my first baby. I've been reading m.k.p for the last year or so. I've just started to read this group because I'm the sort of person who likes knowing all sorts of information and perspective _before_ I need them! I...

He leido el libro "doctor Lino Tomasen, el poder invisible de curar" y me parece muy importante que se conozca sobre este doctor, que resuelve casos difíciles, solo con sus manos. El libro lo obtuve en: www.poder-de-curar.com

I just bought a Bear River brand jogging stroller at Sam's Club on a whim. I've got it home, still unopened and am debating whether to return it. I'm not sure we'd use a jogging stroller (we don't use our regular stroller much, but she's only 3 mos), but it was a good deal! :) Anyway, wondering...

Little Madi is 3 months old and has been pretty cranky the past couple of days. She has been drooling more than usual and attempting to eat her hand. She keeps biting down on my nipple when nursing, and has been comforted by chewing on a wet washcloth (thanks Caledonia!). I'd been looking at her...

Yep, I got shingles. :( very sucky. Started with a painful, itchy rash on my rear end of all places on Mon. I had a PAP scheduled for today anyway, so I figured I'd have it checked then. Yesterday I started getting very swollen and painful lymph nodes along my groin area on that side. Today...

Madi had her 4 month checkup and shots today, so she's cranky. :( While waiting for the Dr I let her chew on my hand and I felt a sharp tooth! It's a lower tooth, barely visible from the front, but definitely there. So that possible teething behavior turns out to be exactly that. She's 14 lbs...

OK, Madeline's hair is now long enough to be getting in her eyes, but not long enough to really stay back when brushed. She's only 8 months, but had a few inches of hair when she was born. I bought some "baby" size barrettes, and then realized that she could choke on them if they came out....

Madeline is now 2 months old...how time flies! She weighed in at a nicely average 11lbs, but is a lanky 24 inches long (95 %ile)! Anyone have advice about car seats? At this rate she will outgrow the infant seat by height well before she meets the weight requirement of the toddler seat I had...

I keep reading about people being worried that their baby will cry so hard or long that he/she will choke. I'm not planning on doing some hardcore "cry it out" type of thing, but I'd like to know that even if my baby is crying she is still safe even if I have to put her in her crib to take...

Well, I'm due in 3wks! In preparation I got out my Isis pump and put it together, checked to make sure I knew how it worked, etc. in case I need it right away (for nipple stim in labor or unexpected circumstances after birth, we don't plan to introduce EBM until at least 4-6wks). Anyway, after I...

I remember "water" filled teething rings that had a floating animal inside each "bubble". I think they probably weren't really water filled since I think they didn't really freeze hard, so maybe they've been taken off the market? I've been looking for one since I think Madi would like...
