CTTD: Feeding a ball by
[email protected]
So, I go to pick up my sons at daycare. It's a nice day outside, so
the 3 year olds are outside on the playground. I get over to the
playground and my 3 year old (Nathan) yells, "MOM, I'm feeding my
baby!" And there he is, shirt hiked up and an 8 inch round playground
ball shoved up against his...

leaking on sore side? by
sheree
I've been having problems on my right side: sore nipples,
nipple blanching, extremely painful nursing in the beginning
and end of nursing sessions, and achiness between
feedings (maybe b/c of blanching). Anyway, I've been
noticing lately that my right side leaks continuously,
whereas the other side...

Boiled Water by
LoopyNZ
Quite a few times, my very helpful (I'm not being sarcastic, BTW!)
mother and mother-in-law have each suggested feeding DS (8wks) boiled
water. I think its purpose is to stop him comfort feeding, or maybe to
give him water when he's just thirsty not hungry?
Anyway, I'm not really comfortable doing...

Cord size in relation to hunger? by
[email protected]
Hi,
I don't think i've posted here in a couple of years now since I had
da Bug in '03. I had "Snuffy" on 14-Feb-06 & he had a cord so big
they sent it off to the lab to have tests done on it. It was
perfectly fine. He was 9lbs 6oz at birth & I was Gestational
Diabetic. However, his sugars...

how to keep her happy? by
aldee
"Linda" wrote in message

I need ideas and suggestions for my poor DH. I work on Monday nights and
leave DD (3 months) with DH for about 3 hours.
Since you have fed her just before you leave, she can't be hungry (LOL).
What is she like on...

Colostrum by

Fascinating writup in the Midwifery Today newsletter:
Colostrum
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Colostrum is low in fat, but high in carbohydrates and protein. It
is also very rich in vitamin A, a micronutrient that is essential
to good health, particularly in preventing blindness, as well...

Which Breast When? by
LoopyNZ
Hi,
My midwife and child health (Plunket) nurse have given me totally
different versions of how to feed in terms of which breast when. (Maybe
both their advice is right but for different stages in his development.)
Midwife: Alternate at each feed, i.e. one breast for 2-3 hours, then...

Weaned, and a thank you by
PumpkinMama
My 34-month-old son has weaned. We had our last nursing session
(unbeknownst to me) a week ago Monday. I just wanted to publicly thank
all of you here, as I know I would not have nursed him this long without
reading all of your posts. I am mostly a lurker, but I gathered so much
advice,...

funny what happens when you mention breastfeeding by
Anne Rogers
on another newgroup (cam.misc) a thread drifted off topic as usually
happens, initially a guy said he would want his wife to look after there
children at home and isn't it unfair the way the government seems to be
wanting people to return to work rather than look after there own children,

Nursing Pillow by
[email protected]
There's a new nursing pillow on the market, My Baby's Nest. It appears
to be good for larger mothers or those who have had C-sections. It's
expensive, but maybe it would be worth it for some mothers. What do you
think?

Feeding Expressed Milk by
LoopyNZ
Hi there,
I'm a long-time m.k.b/m.k.p lurker and found these groups invaluable (as
well as being a huge time-waster!) during my pregnancy.
I've been breastfeeding my first child since he was born a month ago,
and it's all going well (thank goodness!). Now I'd like to think about
arranging to...

nursing strike question by
Ilse Witch
Reading the thread below on self-weaning, I had a question for the more
experienced mums. How can I be sure that DS2 is really on a nursing
strike? He will gladly eat in any environment where he refuses to nurse.
While eating he is relaxed and not at all distracted. The contrast with
his sister is...

Teeth by

Does anyone's child grind their teeth?
Will has the top and bottom middle two, but another one on the way up
the top... just this week he has been grinding his teeth and it is
making my hair stand on end! I think it is because he's trying to put
some pressure on the new tooth coming in, but still...

And back to the final curtain by
Sarah Vaughan
Since Jamie was down to nursing only a few minutes at bedtime and I was
planning to wean him fairly soon, I went to "don't offer, don't refuse"
sometime a couple of weeks back. Instead of getting the breast out
ready for him when we lie down together, I would lie down with him with
my breast still...

I'm taking a poll. :)
Seriously, I'm a lifelong insomniac and although I experienced a temporary
"cure" through new mom exhaustion I'm having trouble again. Curse of the
baby who sleeps well, I guess. *duck*
I do coping skills/relaxation, etc., but it's to the point that I need some

Pump Resistance? by

Hello all. My original post here was thinking that maybe my supply was
dwindling, but I think that I am perhaps becoming resistant to the
breastpump. DS is almost seven months old and I have been back to work
since he was 12 weeks. I had one decrease in my pump output, and it is
happening again.
