Hi All! I've been battling with migraines the last couple of weeks, and I saw my family doc today. He didn't give me a script for Imitrex when he heard that I was bf'ing (why, oh WHY did I bring it up???). From what I've read here, it sounds like both Hale's and the AAP find Imitrix to be ok for...

I have got some work lined up so need to sort out this expressing thing properly. Our health visitor told me to express 6oz, give it to my bloke and leave him with the baby for 3 hours while I go shopping. Bliss! 3 hours of shopping - prescribed! wthout a pushchair! just a pity I haven't got...

....or do I just have so much milk that this kiddo doesn't *have* to build up my supply? I've waited and waited for her growth spurts to have her catch up to my supply...at 2 weeks, I hoped, at 3 weeks I prayed, and now we're almost at 6 weeks and there's not a sign of a nurse-every-hour growth...

I was visiting a friend at VGH in July. The nursing support seems to be better. Is that your doing? The only thing that stood out though is the "We'll take the baby to the nursery so you can rest." They're still offering that. -- Brigitte aa #2145 edd #3 February 15,...

I wrote a few days ago about this rash I have. The Dr. said it was poison ivy but it's been almost 2 weeks. Now it has spread all over my body including my breasts. It is so itchy. I called the Dr. on call yesterday and she said it sounds like impetigo. If it is, it's probably very contagious....

It is totally normal for your baby to have stranger anxiety regardless if you are a SAHM or not......But if you are wanting an answer if it makes a difference if you stay at home with your baby verses if you put him or her in daycare? The answer is simple. If you place your child in daycare the...

Ok, I am still nursing my 9 month old daughter (she will be 10 months on the 20th) and recently, she had been having trouble gaining weight so I upped her table food (She had been eating only things that I thought she could handle, But she could handle alot more than I thought with only 2 teeth)...

Many latch problems can be corrected if caught early enough. I urge you to seek the help of a good IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant) as often the ones that see you in the hospital are not certified, not to mention that they are not all created equal. You can find one in...

My daughter is 5 1\2 months old and has had her 2 bottom teeth for a few weeks now. All has been fine before now with only the occassional bite. But she got sick on Saturday and had a fever and was very grumpy. Now, while being sick (for 3 days), she has bit me several times and pretty hard. My...

Does know anything about breastfeeding after a breast biopsy? I found a lump that my ob/gyn feels we need to investigagte more (the ultrasound indicated it's not a cyst -ie: not fluid filled). He says i should be able to nurse (my DD is 8 weeks old) as soon as the procedure is over. I'm just...

Well, its 1 year since our DD arrived in this world and we couldn't be happier. I originally planned on bf her until today but, thanks to this group, I now have no desire to wean her - I shall wait for her to decide to wean herself. We are having a family dinner and birthday pressents tonight and...

Happy 1st Birthday to Elizabeth's (elizabeth emerald) Coby! I hope you have a wonderful day! :-) (PS - I just realized it was yesterday for you but on this side of the world it is today! ;-) ) -- Brigitte aa #2145 edd #3 February 15, 2004

I have to laugh at Liam, he almost always poops when I'm feeding him or at least he'll always choose to poop when feeding rather than at any other time. And everybody else in the room can hear him. He'll have us poor with the amount of nappies he is going through..........might be time...

We came back from church to discover that either my MIL or Allyson's cousin left the (upright, separate from fridge) freezer standing open. The one bag of the milk in the door has mostly thawed, but still had a chunk of ice in the center. I haven't checked on the 50 ounces in a big Tupperware on...

If there's an increase in supply due to using a galactagogue, will the supply go down if the galactagogue is stopped? Or does it increase hormone levels in the body that the supply remains high even after stopping it? Does this vary with the galactagogue used? Or is it a YMMV thing? Thanks.

Is it possible to generalise about how milk supply comes in with second & subsequent children? I had a devil of a job getting adequate milk production, but got there in the end. I'm wondering whether it's likely to be easier if there is a next time? -- Mogget, the Churl in the Puce Greatcoat

I hope someone can answer a few basic questions. We will be adopting an infant soon and I would like to breastfeed. I have seen a few references that this can be done but no specific information. Can anyone please direct me. My doctor just shakes his head and gave me a one page flyer from La Leche...

My 6 mo old DD is a very happy baby. She always smiles and even when she's hungry, she just calls out, doesn't cry. Well.. all changed yesterday. I gave her some avocado mashed up around 11am. She had it once a month ago and loved it. She ate it well yesterday too. In the evening I gave it again...
