Breastfeeding and feelings... by
xkatx
I'm wondering if anyone out there has or does or would feel similar to what
I'm feeling lately...
I was a bf baby, so were both of my younger brothers. I have always had
great, great support from my mother as far as nursing goes...
I breastfed DS exclusively until he was about 10 months old, then...

Mini pill question by
xkatx
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...

Brushed off by the ped's secretary? by
xkatx
I'm now not sure what to do!
I called the pediatrican's office just now, and I asked what I should do
about DD2. She will not accept a bottle of EBM from me or anyone else, even
just to top her off after a feeding, and although rice cereal doesn't upset
her or her stomach, I just feel like...

Comfort sucking? by
xkatx
Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts or opinions about this...
DD2, 4 days short of 6 months, is exclusively breastfed, still, and still going strong.
Her diet consists of breast milk and then more breast milk. We have slowly been trying, the last week or so, to introduce some rice cereal,...

Cups of...? by
xkatx
Just wondering.
DD2 is now 6 months old. Still nursing strong, still strongly refusing EBM (given up on that a long while back) and still not really interested in any food, other than a boob.
We have given her a bit of the rice cereal, but it's not a regular thing, and it's only at night if I find...

She eats (and a question)! by
xkatx
Very little, but still. Over a few days, she ate one baby food jar of those
wax beans (the ones that she was finding it funny to 'gag' on) and she has
now been alright with the barley cereal, which she eats every now and then.
DD2 is just about 7 months old, but I find that my mom is constantly...

Before I dump... by
xkatx
....I thought I'd just double check here...
I called the Health Link here and asked, but I just want to make sure 100%
as the nurse I talked to sounded like she really was unsure.
I know the general rule of thumb for frozen EBM is 3 months in the freezer,
6 months in the deep freeze.
Should I...

A silly question... by
xkatx
Other than trying to rub EBM on 'em, is there anything else that can be used
for a very recently sore nipple?
DD2 took a good chomp out of me this morning before we actually got up for
the day.
I went up to feed her in the morning when I heard her making noises in the
room. I went up, took her...

For new nursing moms? by
xkatx
Looking for some ideas, so if you have any, do let me know...
My cousin's wife is expecting some time soon. I actually have no idea, and
I really kind of don't care. I don't care much for this cousin (or his
parents and brother, but I would pick this particular cousin, minus his
wife, if I had...

I had a major meltdown... :( by
xkatx
Not sure why...
I lost it the evening before last when N basically threw the bowl of
vegetables out of the microwave all over the kitchen... It was, of course,
an accident. He didn't know that there was that much water in it (was
cooking frozen vegetables in water in the mic) and when he went...

Feeling the pain! by
xkatx
Not sure what's going on or what to do about it.
The last couple days, I feel like I'm ready to explode. It feels like DD2
just can't eat enough. She does, though, as she's feeding as she always
has. Her weight gain is fine. She's 11 weeks tomorrow. I'm feeling such
pain of being real full...

Advice on food and handling it... by
xkatx
Alright, DD is just about 6 months old now. She's currently on baby food
(she's had stuff like peas, carrots, green beans, squash, wax beans,
applesauce, bananas, etc) I give her some pablum in the morning - sometimes
with a bit of bananas or whatever mixed in, but not always, some veggies...

(OT) Breast Milk by
xkatx
My apologies... :D I liked it, anyways, and it seems to be only kind of off
topic ;)

A not necessarily well-prepared student sat in his life science classroom,
staring at a question on the final exam paper. The question directed: "Give
four advantages of breast milk."
What to write? He...

lol "A MUST for the Breast Feeding Mom" by

This made me laugh...
I went online to do some seaching for a double stroller at the local
stores... Just to get an idea of what is available where and price things
out before wasting a trip for nothing...
Went through basically the entire baby section just out of curiosity, if I
need that item or...

On the right track? by
xkatx
DD2 is 3 days old...
So far, I think we've been doing good with everything. She's a 100% bf
baby, and I plan to keep it that way - no bottles of expressed milk OR
formula. Might look at expressing in the future, but not any time soon...
I'm wondering if I'm on the right track so far - DS and I...

Another nursing question, kinda... by

Well, I kind of got fairly lost with that last post and question I had about
nursing at the home of someone else... I have been reading when I can to try
and keep up, but I think I was lost long ago :(
I've decided that I will just simply say that we'd love to come over and
visit, but I require...

I did it! (A wrap) by
xkatx
After the little discussion about baby wraps and all that, I went out and
picked up this nasty pink material. I figured it was stretchy and I thought
it 'rolled' when stretched.
Turned out that it did fray and not 'roll' and it also really wasn't as
stretchy as I had thought. It kind of...

Periods after baby? by
xkatx
Just a question...
DD2 is not quite 10 weeks old now. Wow, time flies, it seems!
IIRC, with DS (almost 6), I didn't start periods again until looong after he
was born. I did, however, exclusively bf him until he was about 6 months
old. At that point, I did offer him EBM in a bottle on...

Medications while BFing? by

The last few days I've been feeling kind of sick. I've been sneezing like
there's no tomorrow and my nose is so plugged up. My eyes are constantly
watering, oh, and my nose is so plugged! Did I mention I've been feeling
like garbage lately??
I'm wondering if anyone knows if I can take...

Nursing while pg? by

DD2 is 19 months now. We just found out we're expecting yet another. I
just found out the other day, so it's still real early.
DD2 is still nursing, and still nursing strong. She nurses usually 3-4
times a day (not including if and when she's REAL tired or manages to hurt
herself or...
