DD is 7 weeks today and doing great (still some rash, but otherwise ok). We've got 5 weeks til daycare.... She adamantly refuses a bottle. Any tips other than patience and persistence? DH gives it and I leave the room. We've tried a couple of different nipples. Now, she was never good with the...

excuse the top post and follow on to my own post, but I've just been reading kellymom and feel a lot better, but would still welcome your comments, especially with regards to my continued weight loss impacting her weight gain. cheers, Leah "azure" wrote in...

I'm so glad to hear that she is going to be o.k.! My husband has asthma too, so I hav been finding this especially terrifying. There are so many good medicines for prevention nowadays; I am sure they will find something that will prevent this from happening again. Please let Barbara know that I...

I just wondered if anyone else experiences the same thing we have going on. DD is almost 17 months and still mostly bf'd. She does not eat a whole lot of anything on a regular schedule although she often grazes on whatever I happen to be eating. Anyway, since we started on solids (around...

Since birth, my 14 mo DD has been waking between 2 and 4 times a night to nurse. Three weeks ago I decided it was time to stop nursing her during the night in the hope that she would start sleeping through. (I am soooo tired.) For the first few nights if she woke before 1am I offered her water...

Bleah. I got through an entire pregnancy without being sick, and am all out of practice. Vaporizer and hot water with honey and lemon and ibuprofen and DM cough syrup and cough drops are not cutting it. I'm dying for a dose of Sudafed, but I really don't want to risk a supply dip...

Greetings! With all this talk of people being complained to about NIP, I thought that I'd share my good story, and also let you guys know that I truly wish that I could bonk some of these people upside their heads when they tell bf moms to "go to the restroom" or "go elsewhere". They are wrong,...

Hi I'm new to google groups and have spent the last half an hour reading this breastfeeding newsgroup and now feel dreadful! I decided on Wednesday last week to stop BF my 15mth-old after a particularly fretful few days of teething. DD wanted comfort sucking all the time and got so sore and fed up...

Hi, Could someone please check Hale's for Clindamycin (orally taken) for both breastfeeding and pregnancy (if he has it). I've just been scripted some for a gum infection. I've done a google search and it looks okay but all the dates are pre 2000 or not for the oral verison. Also the denist...

My baby girl will be 1 in about 2 weeks :-( The *problem* i'm having is that she is not interested in solids hardly at all. She will take 2 - 3 bites of something before starting to spit it out and not take anymore. She wants to nurse a lot. I don't mind the nursing but I really want her...

Help! I'm going back to work full-time tomorrow and I though I was all prepared... pump is at work - check frozen milk in freezer - check baby takes bottles - check lots of milk storage bags - check ....but then my DH (who is staying home with the babe) asked me a question I couldn't answer. If we...

I have had it for the past month. he turns 6 months old soon. I Used fluconozale the first two times and...

I don't _want_ to wean DD. In my ideal world we'd continue going until one of us is done. However we've already decided if at one year I'm not ovulating, to wean as we're very anxious to TTC. At almost 10 months now, DD is still a nursing machine. She nurses regularly 3x/ night (the last few nights...

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...
