Am I doing my 12 week old a disservice by co-sleeping? I enjoy having her so close, but I wonder if she is relying on me for sleeping. We planned on transitioning her to crib at 5 months. Thoughts? Suggestions?

when my son was 3.5 months old, he started to wake every 2 hours and would just keep crying until i nursed. the older he got the more he woke. now, at 21 months of age, he still wakes every hour or so all night every night. so last friday (the 10th), i said that's it, we will have to let him cry...

Does anybody know if I need any supplements to breast feeding after third month?

if you know someone has been breastfeeding, why on earth would you assume they'd stopped? I just got a message from my psychiatrist, saying she assumed I had stopped breastfeeding as I was taking another drug, which is only "caution" for breastfeeding according to the BNF, listed as only take if...

I'm sure there are tons of possible explanations for this behavior, but I just need some reassurance that it's probably not a low supply issue and some ideas of what it could be. :) My 15wk old if directly breastfed when at home, and bottle fed EBM at daycare. The past few days she has been...

My husband did this to me and I in turn played it on two of my sisters and mother. (Laughing so hard still I am almost peeing my pants :D) If you have a white toilet seat, put clear corn syrup on the sides and back and look at how you applied it to see how it looks with the light turned on. Make...

Same thing tonight, exactly. When we lay down on the bed, Jamie just snuggled against me and sucked on his dummy without showing any interest in nursing. Tonight was quite a bit harder to deal with than last night, because, of course, it no longer looks like a one-off. I know that weaning isn't...

Hi all, I thought I'd pop in and introduce myself. My name is Carrie and I'm the proud breastfeeding Mom of (almost) 4 year old Jazz. In my spare time I'm a stay at home Mom, Breastfeeding counselor, advocate, and Executive Director of Promotion of Mothers' Milk (promom.org). My hubby is a work...

Jamie has been day-weaned (mother-led weaning) for about six weeks or so now, and this week I'm planning to night-wean him (as I'm off work for the week and so if it proves difficult I can catch up on sleep during the day). I'm planning to keep the bedtime nursing going for a little longer to get...

Hello, This is my first time posting here. I am a new mom, my baby is 9 days old. I have a problem breastfeeding him since it seems like he cannot latch on all the way so he hurt my nipples really bad to the point where I could not put him on my breasts anymore without crying from pain. I talked to...

Sometimes my daughter's stool is green. I can usually trace it back to when she likely only got foremilk, and I have been told that causes it. Is this harmful to her?

Hi all, Baby Rosie was born on January 4th, and was 8 lbs 12 ozs. We just came back from her two month immunization. She's actually exactly 10 weeks old. She measures now at 23 inches, and 13 lbs 3 ozs! Weight wise, she's somewhere just past the 95th percentile. The only thing that would make me...

duloxetine, it's and SNRI, but has good pain relieving proporties, so I'm suppose to be switching over to it away from Zoloft, but the BNF says it is a contraindication, not just a caution like everything else. Anne

I'm in Australia and have a cousin coming from the UK next week. My dd is not teething yet, but I've heard that Nelsons Teetha Granules are the best thing to help them when teething so I was thinking of asking my cousin to bring me some so I'm ready. There are of course teething gels and...

Hi, Since I am new mom, I have many questions that may be considered dumb or funny so please be gentle with me :)) My son is 9 days old. One of my questions is why is he hiccuping every time he eats? I am pumping my milk and feeding him it via bottle (nipple and/or latching problem). He seems to be...

I went back for the lets look at it again in a week with my lump on my nipple. The doctor said he had been thinking about it and thought that the best explanation was a blood clot as that would explain why it was like a string, rather than a blob. That makes complete sense to me. Thankfully whilst...

Hi, I'm guessing this is a dumb question....sorry DD (9 weeks) has just had what must be a growth spurt - she normally feeds every couple of hours for about 5 mins. On the weekend she was feeding every hour for 20 mins at least, and waking to feed every couple of hours at night where she normally...

Ok I know everyone asks this but I am being boring today! Tara is 9months old. I breastfeed her, as well as give solids usually 2 times a day. She was introduced to a bottle at about 5 weeks old due to a hospitalisation that I couldnt always be there for. We had no problems then, she would only...

They showed Janice bf'ing her baby, and was I hearing things, or did she say that "baby" was 15 months old? Nice! Dh and I were like a well-oiled machine all day yesterday, conspiring to get those kids tired out, well-fed, and in bed and soundly asleep well before 9pm! -Karen, mom to Henry almost...
