Well, I'm starting to discuss weaning with dd. :) She's still nursing a lot, and, frankly, I'm getting tired of it. So, we've been talking a lot lately about whether she's a little girl, a big girl, etc. Right now, she seems to think she's a Little Big Girl. ;) (She turns 3 yo in April, btw) ...

(I posted to mkp last night, and forgot to cross post. But, this time I just have a napping baby on me, and have 2 hands for typing, so it'll be a little longer!) Gwendolyn Beatrice was born 4/8/04, at 1:53 pm. 8 lbs, 8 oz. 21.5" long Breastfeeding is going well. She's doing a lot of...

Hey, all you meds experts out there - I have a question for you! I seem to remember that when I was pg with ds, my OB didn't want me taking Claritin for my seasonal allergies. However, we found out it was ok for bf. Well, I just had my two lines show up, and now allergy season is coming. I...

Sorry to post something so completely OT, but you guys are the biggest group of women I know! The basic question is: When at a hair salon, how many people have you had to wait through to get to your haircut? In other words, no wait would be 0, waiting for the person in the chair to be done would...

I'm not sure if this is it, or not, but ds (28 months) seems to be heading towards self-weaning. Now that I'm almost 5 months pg, there's hardly any milk left. About once or twice a day, he asks for mommy milk, tries for a moment, and then declares "all gone." Fortunately, I've been explaining...

I plan to use this pump at work, but it says in the instructions that it needs to be washed and sterilized after each use!!! I need to pump at least twice while I am at work, and of course there is no way I can sterilize it or even wash as the "breastfeeding room" at work is nowhere close to the...

My friend and neighbour was telling me today that she met an previous neighbour yesterday whilst visiting her parents who has a 2 week old baby and is bf but is finding it difficult and tiring because he is feeding every couple of hours. So she told her about how I was the same at the start but...

Anybody else see Absolutely Fabulous on BBC1 tonight? Quick bit of Saffy using an electric breast pump and then Eddie looking at the bottle of EBM and saying that she reckoned she could get more from one 'titful'. Very funny! -- Marie Mum of 3 DD born 03/98, DS1 born 11/99 DS2 born 08/03

https://www.handybaby.com/index.php?content=gallery.php I saw an article on this 'great' new product in the Irish Independent Mothers and Babies Supplement today, and all I can say is that I am shocked! There is bf, ff and then this which is the most uncaring, bad parenting tool in the world...

Liam doesn't have any teeth yet but lately he is biting down with his gums and twisting as he comes off the breast. OWW!! He thinks this is fun because he grins at me when I wince in pain. What do I do, he's only 5 months so I don't think telling him no, or removing him will get the message...

It appears my posts were appearing but were dated 5 days ago so I have to repost a post i made last night. ------------------------------------------------- Over the last few days I have been having debates in my head over whether or not to give up bf. Liam is getting about 4-5 5/6ozs bottles of...

I can't remember what I called the thread but I just wanted to let those who helped me out with advise recently. I have been giving less formula this week and nursing more to get the supply up again. Liam has been very well settled and all thoughts of spoon feeding are well and truly at the back of...

Hi to you all I had a sick computer (well 2 actually) and between Jean, Herself and her dh we got them fixed and now I'm backed. I missed ngs! Anyway Liam is now 14weeks as of tomorrow. I am starting back at work next Tuesday week (the 18th) Liam is thriving. But there are a couple of things I am...

Once I defrost ebm in the fridge overnight how long is it good for? If I defrost it in a jug of hot water do I have to use it straight away or can I refrigerate it? If I offer ds bottle of ebm (after heating it up, he won't take them room temp) and he either refuses it or only takes a little bit,...

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 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...

A Happybaby sling - one of my neighbours knows the owner of the company and had been given a free sling so she has loaned it to me for as long as I need it!! :-) We've d/l the instructions for making it up from the website and I have been practising with DD's dolly. It'll be handy for getting...

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...

I just wanted to take a straw poll of those that did/do and didn't/don't co-sleep. My dh is a barman so he always stinks of passive smoke after work, he also smokes the occasional cigar so he sometimes smells of smoke even when not working. So based on that I don't think that it would be wise to...
