Just wondering when you all felt that you had your nursing established by? Is it generally not established until after the 6 week growth spurt or can it be established beforehand? -- Marie Mum of 3 DD born 03/98, DS1 born 11/99 DS2 born 08/03

I think she's making a joke that you "must" tote your little one around in the carseat, just like everyone else. Personally, being short and heavy, toting that damn bucket around was just not reasonable or comfortable for me. We (both dh and I) got quite adept at transferring a sleeping infant from...

I feel like I've been battling it forever...(since the beginning of March). Couple of questions.. 1) Changed my diet to eliminate sugar, but are there some things like fruit, that have natural sugar, that I might be able to eat in moderation? Downing plain yogurt is a bit easier with a bit of...

The converation on hormonal birth control at 14 mos. has me wondering. My situation is: On the mini-pill, DD is 14 months old, no periods yet (for me, and of course for her, too ;). But I've had the odd bit of cramping and almost unnoticable spotting, so I'm thinking ovulation may have returned....

I just got the nicest letter from Mother's Milk Bank of Austin, thanking me (and DD for sharing) for my milk donation over the last year, and a certificate. 1139 ounces! Go me! But seriously, if anyone has extra, definitely consider donating. They made it incredible easy, and were very...

I guess my boobs are really in preparation for this lil girl coming in a few more weeks. I woke up this morning and had a few drops on my shirt and then I just got undressed for the evening and they are KILLING me! I'm not due until March 13 and I can't recall if this happened with my first...

I bought the poly-vi-sol vitamins for my 15 month old daughter. They taste and smell horrible and she took the dropper the first day and spit most of it out the second and will not let me near her face with it anymore. Is there a better tasting vitamin mix for her? I couldn't find anything else...

Hi gang. I used to hang out here back when DDs (now ages 5 and 3.5) were nursing and thought I stop in to give hope to all you breastfeeders (and maybe a smile, too). Upon reaching the age of 40, I decided that I needed to get back into shape and increased my exercise and reduced fat from my...

Hi, I have a friend with an 11 month old son, and she is about 2 months preg. with her 2nd baby. Initially she was going to nurse no. 1 till he weaned, but she is finding it increasingly painful, and is getting tempted to wean him. He is teething at the moment, which doesn't make things...
