I have started an e-mail list for people who are planning a natural (or even home) birth, but who for some reason are faced with "Precious Baby Syndrome" by the medical profession and pressured to have a medicalised pregnancy and delivery or even an elective c-section. This can happen for whatever...

I pump for about 20 minutes every morning so that (a) dd can get the hang of eating from a bottle and (b) we have a bit of a stash so that once she does take a bottle I can go out occasionally. However, in the 20 minutes of pumping (I have a PIS with, finally, the right size flanges) I get...

Hi there, I've been lurking for about a week and fortunately found this ng at *just* the right time whenI was at my lowest on b/f feel good factors. I'm 38 and a first time mum to Rowan who is now 8 weeks old. He was 6 weeks pre-term though very healthy but we've had our trials and tribulations....

I got 2 wrong. Kris The theme for World Breastfeeding Week 2003 - Breastfeeding in a Globalised World for Peace and Justice - provides an opportunity to consider the obstacles as well as the benefits of globalisation in promoting breastfeeding as a symbol for peace and justice. For more...

Hi. My Maya wrap just arrived, I am writing my birth plan (which will be summarily ignored if I do not get DH to memorize it and be the birth plan police during labor). I am getting very excited. But I have one question. The answer to many a breastfeeding issue is to stock up on beverages and sit...

Hi all ... we're the parents of a beautiful breast-fed 10-month old boy, Jason, who's, um, quite a bit heavier than the norm. Would you believe 44 pounds as of yesterday? (His pediatrician isn't too worried about his growth since two months ago, but she hasn't seen him since he had his 9-month...

Hi all, I'm about to start taking domperidone as prescribed by my doctor. I've read about the possible side effects (GI trouble, stomach aches, headaches, etc), now I'm interested to know what actual users experienced -- what better place to ask than mkb? So, any dom users out there, what side...

I think my 3 1/2 month old is going through a spurt. He is eating constantly all of a sudden. He did this before, I think 7 weeks, and I remember it being like this. When do they have the growth spurts? What can I do to help him? Should I eat oatmeal and drink Mothers Milk tea to boost my milk?...

Kamron broke out in lots of tiny red/purple spot on his leg. A couple of the looked like bigger bruises. I did the tumbler test (pressed a glass against the spots) and they did not disappear. I rushed up to my doctors surgery, and saw the worst Dr they have, who is well know for misdiagnosis. He...

my wife was prescribed this medicine when been discharge from the hospital, the doctor prescribing it said it was o.k.

DD was sleeping almost through the night until 3 nights ago...now she is in this crazy 1every hour nursing spree but the confusing part is...it is only through the night.... She will nurse at 9-10pm then 1am, 2am, 3am, 4am, 5am, 6 am, 8am, 10am...then stretches the nursings during the day to every...

I'm still nursing my 21 month old DS. I'm PG with #2 (almost 20 weeks). Nursing has been very uncomfortable since I got PG w/ #2. It seems to be getting worse. I'm wondering if my supply is down and my DS is sucking harder to get anything out. On my one nipple and areola I see a red line like...

OK, sling guru, tell me what I need. I have a hand-me-down Nojo. We like it, but the padding makes it hard to tighten enough. Caterpillar likes sitting up with her head toward the rings and her arms and head out. She doesn't dislike snuggle hold, and I don't think she has enough neck control for...

DS is nearly 11 mo. I feel like he's REALLY cut back his nursing in the last few weeks, started sleeping mostly thru the night suddenly around 10 mo (YAY after Loooooong haul to get there) will nurse 2 or 3 sides between about 5 am and about 8am, usually nurses to sleep for naps and bedtime, seems...
