When is it too late to correct a bad latch? My 4 mo old dd doesn't nurse like she means it. She's a snacker and she's not interested in nursing at all. She think it's playing and she looks at me and smiles. Someone on this group suggested I call IBCLC to see if they can help. I was wondering if...

Ok, I know this is a phase, but how do I end it sooner than later and what can I do for my poor nipple? I nurse my ds down for naps and bed and lately he has become REALLY fidgety in my lap. He used to always fall asleep while nursing, now I'm having to lay him down because he can't seem to get...

This one may sound a bit weird but it really makes us laugh - just before bedtime, our whole family likes to cuddle up in bed and maybe watch a bit of tv. dh usually wears no shirt and we can tell when ds2 is getting tired because he will lift my shirt to nurse although he wont concentrate...

DS is 16 months. i'm wondering what other people who breastfeed to sleep and do *not* use cry it out do when their toddler decides bedtime is not something they are interested in. usually DS is pretty good at bedtime - straight to sleep on the booby, but sometimes he's not quite so good...

It's me again... Just wondering if anyone thinks I should be worried about static weight in my lil boy. He has been the same weight since 11 months old, and he's now almost 16 mo. Still has chubby cheeks, still night feeds, still doesn't eat much solids. Tonight we are going to try "nini's...

Hello all, I have an 18 month old baby who nurses 10-20 times a day, doesn't get his main sustenance from solid food. Is this bad? He'll eat a very small amount of eggs and beans in morning, sip on diluted juice throughout the day, now is starting to drink a few oz's of whole cow's milk, and does...

I have a question that is probably a bit silly: I have just started back at work and I will be pumping/expressing for my six and a half month old daughter. So far I have just been back a half day (4 hours) and just pumped once and that worked fine. But on the day after tomorrow (Wed.) I will have...

Ok, if it weren't for glassboobs rambling aobut being unable to breastfeeding because hers were so large, this probably wouldn't have occured to me. OK, it probably would have occured to me about an hour after birth, instead of at 25 weeks. I've got really big breasts. My current guess is that...

Hi-- I have a few questions about pumping with my Avent Isis and occasionally feeding by bottle... My daughter is 23 days old today. I am a stay at home Mom and am exclusively breastfeeding, which is going well. I would like to be able to pump and freeze a small stash of breastmilk, which would...

Chookie, you recently pointed out that formula advertising was not allowed in Australia (or something to that effect). Does that only apply to infant formula? I ask because I am starting to see adds for that karicare (sp?) toddler formula popping up everywhere. It was bad enough to see them...

I hope I am remembering the right person, anyone a while back we were discussion rheumatology and you said you had psoriatic arthritis and I thought it was unlikly to have any relevance to me as I don't have any skin psoriasis, anyway today I discovered I have the tissue type that is...

no, not me .... My best friend has just had a bad bout of mastitis and is trying to get her supply back to normal without risking engorgement. (Her DD is roughly 12 weeks old ... but very small as she was 5 weeks premmie and with IUGR). My friend isn't a big eater (thin as a rake) and so hasn't...

in posting this. I have to be quick though. She was born on 9/20 and weighed 7lbs and 14oz. She is adorable; she looks a lot like her brother did when he was a baby. She nursed successfully after delivery. And has been a champ in that department since. We had a couple of rocky minutes after she had...
