Hi everyone: I just wanted to make sure I am not causing harm to my little one. I'm sure I'm not, but always good to get opions from other breastfeeding mommies. Neil is 6.5 mos old and still mainly breastfeeds. He eats some oatmeal for my sister and will eat prunes the ones from the jar that we...

I'm taking the micronor (sp?) mini pill, and I have been since the beginning of January. DD2 is just about 4 months now, and still nursing fantastic. Still refusing a bottle of EBM, still refusing anything on a spoon. This mini pill seems to be going alright... I am wondering, though, just a...

Is there anyone here who does this? I just wonder how common it is. On another board, someone had suggested to avoid offending people by NIP, they pump and give a bottle when they're out. Of course I said this was ludicrous, heck, one of the joys of BF is that my boobs are portable and always...

Two articles of mine are in the winters edition of The Mother, an English attachment parenting mag. This is the start of my cunning plan to write for a living so I am chuffed to bits to get in print. Just wanted to show off :-) teapot

Is anybody on depression medication and breastfeeding? The doctors have prescribed me Prozac. Just wondering if there is anyone out there that is going through the same thing and breastfeed while take medication??

My dd is turning to 9 months next week. I started solid on her when she turned 6 months, and start with rice cereal. She loves it very much even now. However, I start feeding her with meat when she turned to 8 months, started with Turkey. She seemed to be ok; however, this week, I start feeding her...

So I know this very nice woman who wants the best for her daughter, but is rather uneducated as to what that might be. Her DD is two months younger than DS, so that makes her about 15 months old. The mama does a lot of things I wouldn't be terribly comfortable doing, like feeding her DD Froot...

I kept on trying to feed Erin. I rang the La Leche League for advice. Until Erin grows and can open her mouth wider this problem doesn't have a magic cure. She is trapping my nipple against her hard pallet. I did buy a mini-electric which isn't enough for full time pumping so am renting a hospital...

I have been so sick the last couple days my husband has been bottle feeding EBM and I've been pumping every 3-4 hrs. It's just been so much easier this way. I like the idea of mostly bottle feeding, but wonder if my supply will maintain with this routine. What if we continue to bottle feed ebm...

With new baby due end of April, I'd like to find some books for my 3 1/2 yo to prepare him a bit for the arrival and life with baby. He is at the moment particularly unwilling to accept the idea that baby will be nursing (he still nurses 1-2x/day). MIL gave ds a book for x-mas, but I returned it as...

Well its day 4 of solids. Or more truthfully, it's day 4 of meticulous preparation of extremely nice vegatables and the splattering of every surface with the same. Moo got about 1/4 of a teaspoon of potato in today without spitting it out. He's not overly impressed and I get the feeling that he...

In my neverending quest to find *something* that will increase my milk supply, I am currently taking: 80mg of domperidone/day, 16 capsules of Fenugreek/day and 16 capsules of Blessed Thistle/day. SIGH All this, and I'm still oly making *maybe* 1/2 of what I need for my twin boys. While...

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...

Yesterday, DH and I went to a comic-con with Alena. This means that yesterday my list of places that I've nursed grew about a mile. :D The car seat on the way down, the train, in her Maya Wrap as we walked through the Skywalk, The Metro Convention center (about a million times.) and a GO bus full...

Hiya All. I'm pretty much at wits end, so I thought Id introduce myself, and get some advice from the group. To be brief, my son Sam was born 5 weeks premmie. He was quite heavy (7 pounds one), and was allowed on the ward with me. Unfortunately, after the second day it was obvious that latching...

What I've done in the past is start out giving my baby the breast she prefers. Then I try and switch to the less desired one. If I were you, I would lay down with your baby and offer him the right breast. Then after he's taken enough in so that he's not 'starving', offer him the left one, still...

My mom got me a subscription to "Parenting" last year -- not one I would have chosen, as it's full of ads and half the content is of the "how you can pretend you don't have kids with girly-girl makeup" variety. The November issue has an article about discipline (I think that was the topic). One...

this is insane i refuse to believe this damn "Dave {Reply Address in.sig}" wrote in message ... This is a bit disturbing.. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/3253632.stm

In the UK we get free 'Bounty' packs, a couple when the baby is born, one for weaning (getting onto solids not giving up BF) and one for toddlers. I went to collect my weaning pack today. The only thing I would consider feeding the Moo was a jar of Hipp organic fruit. And I kept the weetabix...
