Hi all, My daughter is almost two, and all of a sudden has started asking to sit on the potty. She prefers to do it fully clothed, and while one of her parents are sitting on the toilet, but I figured it was time to start reading up on the topic. My guess is that she's still a bit young for this...

sorry to cross-post this, never did that before but i wanted everyone's advice... last week my 2.5 yo DS got a fever, it lasted all week then turned into a chest cold. The doctoe checked his ears - fine, checked for strep - neg, listeed to chest - sounded clear. At the end of the week he...

That's so cute and smart! I love it. How old is your DD? -Patty, mom to Corinne and Nathan and stepmom to Victoria Molly Fisher wrote: DD and I were laying down nursing when she paused and looked up very seriously and asked, "Wa-wa?"

ANyone ever done one? I just used my ISIS for the first time. I got 1 ounce out of my right breast at 1:00pm. This is an UNHEARD OF amount for my right at this time of day. Usually I get drops, if that. Just curious if anyone else has an experience to share. S

The best way I can describe the Moo at the moment is as a wrestler. Every time I nurse, unles he is really tired and it is bedtime, he kicks and squiggles and generally needs restraining on the boob. If I take him off he cries, if I let him do what he wants he falls off and cries. And it...

I sort of reamed into a coworker today because she brought up the fact AGAIN that she could not BF her daughter because she did not have enough milk. Her daughter is 7, so it's a bit late now... She told me before that she did not like BF because it was "messy", she leaked a lot. Then today she...

Beware of mutated babies, they will bite off your breasts and eat them! Your baby may be mutated, so beware! Better call the monster hunters first and an exorcist !

My Health Visitor said that if I was thinking of waiting until 6 months to begin weaning then I should remember that iron intake rapidly depletes after 6 months with a b/fed baby. How can this be? Surely the iron content is constant? I know that formula has more but is less readily absorbed. ...

DD is doing well. Her weight is up to 10.5 - 11 lbs (up from 8 lbs 6 oz at birth) and bf is no longer as difficult. You guys are right - it does get easier. A couple things we're still working on: -- She still has periods of constant nursing where she'll nurse every 30 - 60 mins for 3 hours or so,...

in my very disasterous way I ended up spending last night in hospital, no reason why I couldn't breastfeed, except for the fact the baby was 5 miles away. One of the night nurses mentioned they could get a pump for me in the morning, no probs I thought, and in the morning I asked (by this time I...

Hello everyone. My son is now a health,huge 3 month old (17lbs). Recently he has become a very unsound sleeper. At night I will nurse him to the point where he is so full that he keeps jerking his head away in frustration because he wants to comfort suck but doesn't want anymore milk. I've tried...

I gave up breastfeeding my others when they were 7-12 months old. It was given up when they kept biting me. I vowed to try my best to get through this this time around, and even had a glimmer of hope when someone here mentioned their baby didn't bite. Not so lucky, Kamrons biting is getting...

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...

Also posted to the new "test" group, misc.kids.family-life. (MKFL's info available at http://tinyurl.com/82cs) Okay, I haven't posted here in a long long time, because breastfeeding has been smooth, and my life hasn't. But here I am, back w/ a problem. (I'm sure I'll be back full force in a few...

Well.... Kivi went pee and poop on the potty. Ever since last weekend, when she asked for the potty, the only encouragement I gave was "hey, Kivi, I'm going to the bathroom, do you want to go with me?" She would sit on the potty, usually fully clothed, but at bathtime, with a bare bottom. Once...

Well, thrush it is. I was without a doubt, but the trip to the doc confirmed. We were given nystatin, and I am to take oral diflucan. We have a pacifier rarely used, am throwing it out and will replace if necessary. He hardly uses it, but don't want to need it and be without. On the upside, baby...

DD (almost 10 weeks old) is a beautiful, healthy baby. She eats very well, is very smiley and happy, poops and pees as she should and is growing mentally and physically. So the breastfeeding is working, and I do feel great about that. Our trouble area is the sleep department...we are a mess...

Well, I guess I've kind of turned into a lurker, seeing that I hardly ever find time to post any more. But.... Christina is signing!!!! She made the milk sign yesterday when I was getting ready to nurse her. And then today, she signed to me at the restaurant when she was tired of cheerios and...
