Does thawed EBM have an odor to it? I have just thrown 2 thawed EBM bottles out because they had an odor--kind of like a plastic smell or maybe freezer burn--it really bothers me to throw any bm out but better safe than sorry. Our freezer door was left open for a few hours a couple of weeks ago...

EVERYONE ENVITED to the ANN ARBOR YMCA SWIMMING POOL SATURDAY, JANUARY 28, 2006 ALL DAY

Hi everyone! My name is Brenda, 36 yr old working mom to 4 kids..Chris 17, Mikayla 11, JJ 5, and my nursling Elias is 16 mos. He is the only one I have breastfed past a year and there is no end in sight! We cosleep so that has kept my sanity because he wakes many times at night. It's getting...

Hello, My name is Windy and I read posts and the answers quite often, and they are a great help. I now have a problem, my dd 12 months has basically completely weaned herself. In a month we went from 5 feeds to 3 to 2, today I will be lucky to get 1. She wants nothing to do with the breast and...

Welcome back, Michelle! Sounds like a headache! Hope you catch-up soon. Love, Carolyne in CA Michelle Podnar wrote: Hello,

My friend had the appointment with the lactation consultant this afternoon. She was instructed to pump every 2-3 hours, as well as drink fenugreek tea and malt beer and eat oatmeal. She was also told to drink a large amount of water just before bed so she'll start waking up to pee...the theory...

Hi everyone, Nice to see lots of familiar names! It is DD2 1st birthday today, so I just had to post an update. She is an enormous (10.5 kg or so) thriving, determined girl, who is learning to walk (but wants to run, so it is taking a while!) and has 10 teeth!. She pretty much night weaned at...

Hi! Is there a difference in these two vitamins? Morgan would probably enjoy eating a chewable vitamin rather than the liquid. ~Carol Ann

My son is 2 months tomorrow. His poop is a bright green. I don't remember if this is normal. This is my second time breastfeeding. Kris

I've got my rheumatology appointment this Wednesday, there seems to be a lot I need to think of in advance to ask about, so I'm writing it all down, can you guys recall or think of anything that should be on the list? Cheers Anne

I have to return to work the first week of May. I'll be able to pump once I return. It's a pretty flexible environment and they provide a nice room for pumping. I know I should have a decent supply stocked up and frozen for DS when I do go back to work. He eats just about every 3 hours like...

Reading the thread below on self-weaning, I had a question for the more experienced mums. How can I be sure that DS2 is really on a nursing strike? He will gladly eat in any environment where he refuses to nurse. While eating he is relaxed and not at all distracted. The contrast with his sister is...

hi just started group toddler so would be great to hear from you and have some members thanks

Hi, I like breasts and I was wondering if any of you women could post some pictures of your breasts, or maybe you and your baby breastfeeding? I would also love it if you posted some pictures of you peeing, or wearing panties or other lingerie. Or if any of you have any horses or dogs, have some...

I'm terrified of DD choking....she's 7.5 months now, has one tooth. She doesn't quite have the pincer grasp, altho she's getting there. She's not too thrilled with the pureeed solids. well, some days she is, others not at all. She definitely likes picking at our plates. So suggestion was made to...

Since I have gone back to work, we have been combi feeding. I pump during the day as best I can and consider it "gravy." My question is if my DD is nursing in the morning and the evening and the middle of the night feeding and not during the day, is a Mamm body "smart" enough to have a sort...
