I've got a similar problem to another poster, but I'm actually constantly hungry. I just can't get full. I can eat a ton of anything, and be hungry 5-10 minutes later. I can't afford to keep eating like this, but I can't handle the feeling I get of always being hungry. I get the shakes, a...

A midwife on the Gold Coast in Queensland is establishing a milk bank / pasteurisation centre for breast milk .... I think its Australia's first. Apparently there are 11 milk banks in the US, 17 in the UK, 1 in Canada, proportionately more in Europe ... and 300 in Brazil. There is more...

Ollie's started biting while nursing. He did it before when he was a little baby, and I managed to get him to stop by pulling him into my breast. Now he's 17 months old, and I don't think that will work. He's been nursing less frequently lately, which makes sense, but it's still important to him...

Thanks for all the advice earlier! Makes me feel better that things seem normal so far! We do nurse to sleep almost exclusively, although sometimes she will nurse, sleep for 15 min or so, then have the cute "awake" period. At the end of that she either nurses to sleep again or falls asleep on her...

Hello, breastfeeding enthusiasts! I have never been pregnant nor am I a mother, and I've been a vegetarian since I was 11. So that brings me to the confusion surrounding this question... There are new parents in my office, and I signed on to bring them dinner on Monday night (we are all taking a...

Dear misc.kids.breastfeeding.solids, The chart we've been following for introducing solids says "seeds" should be avoided until 24 months. (Banana seeds? Avocado pits?) I just realized the whole-grain bread Ollie's been eating -- one of the few solids he likes -- has sunflower seeds. Whoops. But...

Hi, Before I buy a highchair for dd I would love to get some advice from everyone here... Which highchair do you have? Where did you get it from? What do you like about it? What don't you like about it? Would you recommend it to a friend?

My friend's baby, now 2 weeks and 3 days old, has been losing weight. She was 7lb 12oz at birth and today weighs 7lb 4oz. My friend desperately wants to continue breast feeding but her Health Visitor told her this morning to 'buy a tin of formula and get her on the bottle'. When I called this...

Mrs. Bottle: "I don't want to breastfeed because it is embarrassing to breastfeed baby in public." Mrs. Breast: "If you wear the right clothes you can breastfeed without exposing your breasts, in fact nobody will even notice that you are breastfeeding." Mrs. Bottle: "Putting the baby on the...

My exclusively bf'd DD will be 6 months on Monday and has been going through a growth spurt. She nurses every 1-2 hours around the clock (every hour during the night). She used to have some 3-4 poppy diapers before but now she is having only about 1-2 poopy diapers. I thought that with the...

Saint Columbkille says, "The mind of a child has already heard many conversations while in the womb. This is ignored by those who are older in years. More should be taught on the physical aspects of the conception, and then how this conception learns so much about human life. Granted, it does not...

The Bug is now co-sleeping with us full time on my side of the bed and pretty much has to be glued against my body all night long. She falls asleep by coming to bed with me -- if she falls asleep after 8pm but before I go to bed, I put her in the co-sleeper and she invariably wakes up within an...

Can anyone tell me why eating Oats help with milk supply??? I have tried it and it seemed to work for me. Nat (Australia)

My breast is covered in red streaks, it's warmer than the other breast, sore as hell, and it hurts to the point of tears when I nurse. :*( What should I do? -- Lina Alena born July 1st, 2003 www.maternalinstinctscanada.com validate the email address before sending.
