Can anyone please tell me the name of the River Island clothing store before it was River Island? It's driving my friend and I nuts (we are ex-pats so cannot just go into a store and ask!!). Thank you! CY

So, since it was a rainy holiday here in NY, DH caved and agreed to take me and Laszlo to Target so I could check out the new Liz Lange maternity clothes along with a million other things I really don't need. As we were walking through the very crowded aisles, we saw a momma with a...

This morning I logged into my old support group of moms due the same time as I was. Their babies are younger or around the same age as Alena. Almost all of them are feeding their babies rice cereal already!!!! Their pediatricians told them not until 3-4 months, but they're doing it any way!!! I'm...

Not on this group, I hasten to say. I am on a list where a woman has popped up who just doesn't sound right, and it brought back memories of the two frauds some of us encountered on mkp a few years back. As a number of you know quite a bit about birth stuff, I would like to run some info from...

DS is two days old and had a check up at the pediatrician two hours ago. His birthweight was 8 pounds, 1 ounce, and at the doctor's office today, weighed 7 pounds, 9 ounces - right after a bm. They asked me to bring him back tomorrow morning, and said that if he has lost any more weight they are...

Why don't you pump and then keep it in the fridge.....It's good for 8 days if kept in the fridge. Use it up while you are there, or use it when you get home. You could probably keep it in the fridge and then freeze it when you get home from your trip. If you don't like that idea, then...

I suppose I am an attachment parent, basically I feed on demand, read and play to my 13 week old a lot and include him in most everything I do. He slept well a couple of days ago but that was just a fluke, he is back to grizzling all night unless he is in bed with us (he is in a 3 sided cot right...

day before yesterday (friday) i stood on what i thought must have been a sharp stick. that nite i found a circle of dots with flaking skin on my foot. i thought it was some kind of fungal infection. i did not remember stepping on the "stick". yesterday i went to the chemist to get a cream to clear...

Hi everyone. I was using the mini electric breastpump once a day for a freezer stash or for DH to feed Kamron. When Kamron was a few weeks old I was getting 7 fluid ozs from each breast, but then Kami was feeding frequently. Now I only get 30zs per breast. Kamron sleeps through the night now, as...

Cute little story. The Cow Parade is visiting our town for three months. (www.cowparade.com West Hartford, CT) At the end of my street is the town center where it is being held. We have been walking down every night to check out the cows. On our first visit Matthew was so excited at his first cow....

Well, I do the same, bring my baby in his stroller. As long as he is content I leave him be. Sometimes a mom needs a break and when he is a new place he gets stimulation and enjoyment from watching others. I do speak with him and talk to him while we go places, but it's nice to have...

Hey there...I've looked around, but can't find any info on this. Is there a chance that kids who are allergic to tomatoes might not be allergic to sun-dried tomatoes? I can't find what the component is that makes toms allergenic... -- Meself sahm, bf mom to P, 23/12/01 -----= Posted via...

I don't know about the PIS Advanced, but there's a whole new kind of pump called the Whittlestone Breast Expresser. Instead of pulling the nipple in a tube, it massages the nipple, which is more like what a baby does with their tongue. I love it so much. I get more milk and no pain. My PIS had...

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,...

DS is almost 15 mos and has been only bf twice daily. But, since yesterday, he hasn't wanted to eat any solids....then today he comes down with a tummy bug. So, he just wants to nurse.....will I be able to make enough milk for him now that we've only been down to 2? Is there something I need to...
