Just popping in to say, Sophia's put on 12 oz. in 9 days! She weighed in at 7 lbs 4 oz this afternoon, having been at 6 lbs 6.5 oz last Tuesday. She's also added half an inch to her length since then. Hurray for breastfeeding! Jan -- Mum to Stephen, 22 May 2000 and Sophia, 2 October 2003 My...

Sounds like her computer exploded. Can someone please look up mebendazole? And I don't know what the L1 and L2 stuff means...can someone explain in small words for me? ;-) Thanks! -- 'Tis Herself

Erin was born a little over 6 weeks ago, and I thought I'd give myself a pat on the back. The first week was hard, but we made it through. At 6 weeks 1 day, she still hasn't had anything but momma. In the hospital, the nurses abided by my wishes to NOT give her a bottle and to NOT give her a...

"Shannon" wrote in message ... Hello all, my name is Shannon. I just had a baby boy on Sept 23rd 2003. His name is Heydn. He was 10 pounds 2 1/2 ounces, and 22 1/2 inches long when born. He breastfeeds well although...

Well, it took a cycle of Clomid to correct the luteal phase defect caused by Zach's minimal nursing of twice a day, but I'm pregnant! and Zach's still happily nursing when he wakes and when he goes to bed. My nipples are a little sore when he starts out nursing, but it's not unbearable. My...

Hi there everyone, I am in desperate need of help. I have an 8 week old baby girl that cries all the time. She has been diagnosed with reflux and is on medication for it which is helping that problem but she is still very unsettled and have been to the paediatrician and they can't find...

Hi there, My son went for his 2 month checkup today. Born 8lbs. 4oz he now weighs in at 14lbs. 8oz ! He's also grown 4 inches. We are so pleased with his development, being exclusively breastfed and all :) ~Tracy, mother of Koby

Thought I'd post Katie's progress... She had her one month well baby visit yesterday...she was born 20 inches long and is now 21 1/4. Was 7lbs, 11oz at birth...dropped to 7lbs, 3oz the day we left the hospital...and is now 9lbs, 5.5oz! We are very happy with this...at least we know that despite...

nip...Hi. My Bethany is a year old now. For some reason I have been a little anxious about her eating habits (or lack of!) She nurses still many times a day and night. She will not eat breakfast, she will eat a few bites for lunch and dinner. Altogether she may eat half a cup's worth of food a day!...

Hello! I'm still mostly a lurker here because I feel quite "attached" to MKP and can only keep up with one newsgroup at a time it seems. However, I thought I might as well introduce myself officially, because I do have some questions and do check into this newsgroup frequently. Anyway, my name is...

Hi, Delurking to ask you all a question because I know you will know the answer :-) DD is 6 months old and doing great with solids and eating a wide variety of fruits and veggies 2 x day. I am also bf'ing her every few hours or on demand. I have been trying for the past 3 months to get her to...

I pumped in public for the first time (and maybe the last). DD (6 yo) didn't have school, so I put DS (poor tyke) in daycare to spend an entire day with DD for the first time since DS was born. We went to the Baltimore National Aquarium. She wanted to see the Dolphin show and I figured I could...

It's nice to see a comic strip depicting someone not only bf, but bf twins--and NIP no less! :) http://www.chron.com/content/chronicle/comics/archive/showComick.hts?date=2 0031015&name=Baby_Blues Belphoebe

I am feeling like I am at the end of my rope with bf'ing...I've been trying so hard to make this work, but it seems to be getting harder rather than easier. I really don't want to quit and switch to formula...this means so much to me...but I am feeling so tired and discouraged. Please can someone...

Ok so I explained in my intro my son doesn't live with me right now, well I haven't seen him in 5 days and I am handexpressing but I fear im so low I don't even get an ounce when I express. We went and bought a pump and it doesn't do anything. I cant even get a drop with it, even when I had...

I posted the other day about my resolve to exclusively bf Erin until we start solids. That is not the problem. The problem is starting solids and my parenting choices. Erin is 6w6d and when we were waiting to pick DS (6yo) from school, another mother was asking about Erin. She asked how old...

"shaz" wrote Hi all, I was given a book a while ago called The New Contented Little Baby Book by Gina Ford, I flicked through it and get the general gist of what it suggests, I was wondering if any one on here has read and tried to follow it and what you thought? It seems very strict...

I noticed there are two patches of black color inside my PIS tubes. Is this mold? I tried to wash it with water, soap and alcohol but it's still there. I've stopped using those tubes since I found it. Is there a way to clear them out or should I just get rid of the tubes and buy new ones? thanks.

Today DS is six weeks old - the miracle milestone where bf gets infinitely better :-) And it is. I thought I'd post a brief recap of the preceding six weeks for others who are still in it, or yet to experience it. Week One Learning to latch, learning what "hunger" is, learning that nursing fixes...
