Kamrons poop changed from a brownish colour to a very dark green. My health visitor said he may have a tummy bug, but it's been 2 weeks now and still green poop. She said that sometimes when the poop is green it can indicate that the baby isn't getting enough milk. His weight gain has slowed...

delurking Hi, Dd is nearly 4 1/2 months old (14 lbs, 9 oz, 26") and we have been using the Graco Travel System Quattro Tour™ 7411. The Graco website says that you can only use the car seat until the infant is 26" or 20 lbs and dd is 26" so I need to start looking for another car seat. Doesn't...

While searching for Mother's milk tea recipe on this newsgroup I came across one recipe by Larry and Monika (Thank you!) that had fennel, anise, caraway, fenugreek and blessed thistle as ingredients. I bought a box of tea (Traditional Medicines) yesterday. It has listed in addition to those,...

When I was getting ready to go into the OR to have my c-section, I was given a dose of antibiotics. Seems as if I now have a vaginal yeast infection. This is not entirely uncommon for me as it has happened before. The problem is in the fact that I am seen at a military hospital. The regular docs...

I know they say that micronor doesn't decrease supply, but has anyone had a different experience? About a week or two after I started it, when my son was 10 weeks old, I did notice a little change; I had been dealing with major overactive letdown, which tapered off. I know that can taper...

I have just started to give Izabella a little bit of water in a bottle just maybe once a day or every other day. I am just wanting to know if this is alright. Her Pedi told me i could also try diluted juices with her now, like half and half, half juice half water, is this alright as well? I am...

Is there something special that a woman with large breasts needs to be aware of when breastfeeding? I am having a lot of trouble with my 4 week old. I've had to supplement since day 5, and I want to stop but she is always hungry, so I keep having to give her formula, about 6 ounces a day! I...

I think it's funny, my milk still lets down minutes before my 10 month old daughter wakes up! I don't remember it lasting this long with my older daughter. Marie

Is there a reason why several sources on pumping mention that the maximum time at each session using any type of pump should be no more than 30 min? Is to ensure the mom doesn't develop over active letdown? Or is it because or some other reason I don't know? I'm one of those who has never seen an...

We've determined that Pillbug drinks 20 oz. during the day, so that's what I need to pump daily. I can usually get 3-4 oz. per 8-minute session. If I go to 10 minutes, not much more comes out. That means I need 5 to 6 pumping sessions per day. My friends, and the websites and books, say...

Despite the fact that we've been using it for several months now, I still have a hard time sometimes with the snuggle hold (newborn vertical) with our maya wrap. It is by far both mine and Christopher's favorite position at this point, modified so that his head isn't covered of course (he's...

We made it to a year and DS doesn't seem to be allergic to dairy any more no rashes when he eats it and weight gain is good too. In the last month he has put on another whole pound and so is still bounding up the percentiles. To all those of you in the early days of feeding here is my one bit...

My daughter is 5 1\2 months old and has had her 2 bottom teeth for a few weeks now. All has been fine before now with only the occassional bite. But she got sick on Saturday and had a fever and was very grumpy. Now, while being sick (for 3 days), she has bit me several times and pretty hard. My...

Hi all, I'm 34 weeks pregnant and planning on breastfeeding. I'm a bit confused as to wether or not you feed from both breasts at one feeding or if you alternate breasts with feedings? I have a book that my MIL gave me that is, unfortunately, dated 1987. As I'm reading it, part of me is...
