First, thanks to those who gave me advice on getting some milk frozen in anticipation of returning to work. I've set up the pump in the nursery and I have been finding a few minutes here and there while DS naps or DH plays with him, to pump some, and get some stored up. My new question is...

When my baby arrives, we're planning on DH becoming a SAHD. I'll be pumping again, and while I have no questions on how to handle and store and heat EBM while he's at home, I'm wondering what will happen when he has to go out. I imagine he'll be taking my older DD to storytime and playgroups,...

Hi again everyone, Thanks again for all your notes about my being asked to move to the back of a store while nursing. A little detective work showed me that the woman who asked me to move was actually the store manager. I figured under those circumstances, writing the manager wouldn't do me any...

Do many of you post/read elsewhere except here? I noticed La Leche League International has a new bulletin board feature, but honestly I haven't spent a lot of time on there. There are a lot of leaders and experienced breastfeeders, and you're preaching to the choir there - or at least there...

I found this article on weaning in a local "Parents and Kids" online paper. http://www.townonline.com/parentsandkids/news/news/pak_feapkweanaug07252003.htm. I was surprised at how open-minded it was, and generally okay with the idea of child-led weaning. With the thread about weaning that just...

Izabella thinks she found a new way to breastfeed! She now thinks that her baby cabbage patch doll's outie belly button is a nipple and so she starts to now suck on that thinking shes going to get some milk out of there. She smacks her lips and goes MMMmmmm. -- Laura, TTC #2 Mommy to Izabella...

Hi all, I take "Nature's Own", the only brand I've found fenugreek in capsule form. The blurb says it's "an expectorant, .. helping to eliminate excess mucous, assisting in getting relief from the symptoms of hayfever, sinusitis, catarrh and colds ... helps maintain a healthy skin through a...

My DS will be 6 months old in a couple of weeks, and DH is jonesing to introduce solids. He claims it's DS who is anxious to start, but my perception is that he grabs at everything--whether it's a computer mouse, a pair of glasses, a toy, a telephone, or a plate of food. I haven't noticed any...

DD is about 6.5 weeks old. She's never really slept much during the day. She seems to take 1 or 2 30 minute naps, but other times when you can tell she's tired she won't fall asleep and likes to just cry. Moving her around, changing posistions, etc helps a little, but once shes settled she cries...

Solids and feeding: What should be the consitency of solids at this age for a toothlessbaby? Should it be runny so that it doesn't stay on top of yourfinger? Or can it be less runny so that you can pick a bit with your finger? I'll make it perfectly smooth. No chunks or anything.Until a week ago,...

There was a link posted here, I'm pretty sure this is where I found it. It was about how to bottle feed your baby when you want him to be able to return to the breast easily or switch back and forth between bottle and breast. It had a picture of the baby being fed upright. I think it was more of...

Hi, You mentioned you have two special needs kids, one with Aspergers and one with apraxia. If I can be so nosy as to ask how old the child with apraxia is and if he/she is talking? My nephew is 2 1/2 and still not talking--he is in speech and occupational therapy--but his therapists mentioned...

Does anyone have experience with a BF 15 month old who won't eat much food? He picks at stuff and will eat a bit of what he normally eats, but no where near the miniscule amount he usually has. Yup, we try finger foods, spooning it in, TV, everything. He never ate much in the first place, but...

Hi all, I am new here, I have a 16 day old daughter who I have been breastfeeding since birth. My question is how soon can I start to express breast milk so that I can leave the feeding responsibilities to my husband so I can catch up on my sleep and run errands etc? Thanks for your help.
