A few years ago the group put together a list of breastfeeding myths. I have them but they're in bad shape. Would anyone object if I posted them to the group in attachment format? ~Shell

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...

One of my molars broke apart and I am having dentist take care of it (crown/root canal) in a week or two. But right now it is chipped and the big silver filling is exposed. Once in a while I can feel another piece of tooth chipping away. Hole getting bigger. There is a funny taste in...

my baby boy was 2.62kg at his birth...now he is 11 month old and 9kg. doctors said that he was in 30% kids when he was born but now he is in 10% kids. he is growing in 10% kids rate...there was little problems regarding his eating means he was not eating at all, he started eating in his 10th...

The Moo boy is nearly 7 months now and shows no sign of rolling. I had read somewhere that when they can roll they are safe to put on their tummys to sleep. If I put him down on his tummy he is more likely to settle than if I put him on his back so I want to be able to do this if it's safe. We co...

Y'all have known me long enough to know I'm not spamming for this website. I'm genuinely curious. Before I drop $47, has anyone tried this method: http://www.sleepsense.com/ I don't want to spend the money if it isn't worth it. She *says* that it's not an "abandon your baby to cry it out"...

X-Posted to mkp and mkb Warning - m/c D&C mentioned... My worst fears were confirmed yesterday. After waking up to bright red blood ... not a lot, but a change in pattern, I rang my Ob. I saw him yesterday afternoon and he could not find the baby on the u/s at first, just the sac in the uterus. ...

Hi, I apologize in advance to those of you who will say "Gee...what a problem...your baby sleeps for eight hours straight. Try having the opposite problem!". Actually, I know what that's like too...DD#1 seemed to only sleep for 15 minutes at a time for the first several months of her...

Hm, according to the CDC chart, Meg is -- hovering slightly above. She was born at 9lbs3, 22". She's now just a few ounces shy of 16 pounds and I expect her to hit 16 by 3 months (just a few days away). I think she's 26 inches by now; I measured her maybe 10 days ago at 25.5" I realize I should...

Our pediatrician recommended giving Vitamin D drops to our newborn to supplement breastfeeding. Being skeptical of artifical supplementation, I researched the need for the drops and found that it is due to the likely lack of sunlight that our baby will receive. She is a slightly dark-skinned...

I would love some feedback. We have co-slept with both of our two kids. Though, these days DH sleeps with the 4 year old and I sleep with the baby in another room. Constant colds and sleep issues have set this up for the last couple of weeks so that we just don't sleep well all in the same...

hi all, I have a question for those of you with twins or who may know: what do you think is the best style sling/baby carrier for wearing twins (both atthe same time)? The babies in question are 5-6 lbs each and were premies. I don;t want to sell the lady a Maya if it's not a good solution to...

Found this on the BBC world service website this morning. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/6161727.stm (What really struck me was the comment that 93% of the women in the study started out breastfeeding, and at 6 months over 50% were still nursing! American women should do so well!) Naomi

Hi, My baby boy is six months old, he is 15 ponds.he is breastfeeding child, but i'm sure how much he takes breastmilk, as i'm not giving him bottle. i tried my best to give him atleast one bottle but he don't know how to suck it so he is just taking breastmilk according to his wish....now i'm...

A friend of mine has just had a baby girl today by c-section (I am so upset for her, they sectioned her because they thought the baby was too big, it turns out she was 8lb 10ozs, her last baby was 10lb 2oz so I reckon this was unnecessary!) Anyway, before she had the baby she was intending on bf so...

Flowspoon is a great new baby spoon that is closed on one end with a hole. It sounds strange, but it works like magic! Because the food is being sucked out, it goes down without a mess, instead of squishing out of the baby's mouth. I got a free sample from a friend who is selling them on...

Anti-HIV gel proven safe, tolerable for women A gel using anti-HIV drug tenofovir to shield women from AIDS has been proven safe for daily use and acceptable to women, study findings showed Tuesday. The study, conducted by researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) and the...

Or should it be when do they stop doing whatever they are not supposed to do when you say 'No'? I am consistent about my 'No's'. Nn slapping the cat, no pulling cables and putting them in your mouth, no playing with plugs but he takes very little notice of me. Teapot and the Moo boy 10mths old

My (almost 8 mos old) daughter's been a slow eater from day 1. Her typical nursing session's around 45 minutes, with her longer ones (in the evening, or when she doesn't feel well) running to 2 hours. And she nurses about every 2 hours (so there are times when I get maybe time to run to the...
