"Irish Marie" wrote I think I have a mental block understanding the logistics ;-p Ok, if I pump in between feedings but the baby wakes up sooner than expected will there be a problem with him getting enough milk at his next feed? I don't think so at this stage. He might have to work a bit...

DD sat just a few weeks ago. She was about one week short of 5 months when she sat unassisted for good and had been whinning to be put upright for a good while before that. She is also almost crawling (two knees go forward but she lays down to move the hands forward). Babies are different and while...

Is spitup ever bad in an ebf infant? Is there anything that spitup can lead to or that you need to watch for? My DS spitsup most every feeding and for the most part I'm do worry... I know that babies spit up. But

hi, i noticed that a lot of you have the avent isis pump. i love mine, but wondered how you all use yours. . . specifically: do you keep pumping rhythmically 2-3 seconds for the duration that your milk is letting down -or- once your milk has let down, do you keep the suction until there is a lot...

Hiya All. I'm pretty much at wits end, so I thought Id introduce myself, and get some advice from the group. To be brief, my son Sam was born 5 weeks premmie. He was quite heavy (7 pounds one), and was allowed on the ward with me. Unfortunately, after the second day it was obvious that latching...

Hi all, My dd is almost 6 months old. I'm giving her solids once a day at 6pm. So far she had rice cereal, oatmeal cereal, peach, avocado and pear. I noticed yesterday that she had a dry patch of rash on her right hand at two places. It's not at any other place. She does have small patches of rash...

I was talking to my DH. I have an outing planned for late March. Which will make my baby girl approx. 6 months old. She will have been in daycare for a couple months by then, unfortunately. (Ah the trials of making a boat load of money. Bwaaa Haaa.) Anyway, I was talking to DH about how he can give...

I went to a friend's place yesterday, and her Isis was on the bench. I was amazed that it had a cap over it that held the handle in place. I have been using mine for 4 months without that cap, and thinking it was a bit funny that the handle kept falling off. Guess what I found when I looked in...

1. What is the shortest lenght of time between giving birth and having another baby that you have had. 2. Where you exclusively breastfeeding? 3. How old was first baby when weaned? 4. Was either baby premature, if yes by how much?

Oh Anita it must be hard. My munchie man is 11 weeks old, and leaving him would be hard for me if I had to. I think you are very brave, but it's great that you are doing this for you and your baby. If you think about the situation you have an advantage, the time that you do spend will be very high...

I have a family reunion to go on Saturday and I am dreading it. The reason being that all my SILs never bf'd their children and are VERY from bottlefeeding. MIL is great but has the belief that some bm is "not good enough" and keeps telling me that is why DD is not fattening up....and to make...

now DS is a year old, we have decided to try the few possible allergens we have been avoiding with him (tree nuts & peanuts mainly & a few other little things when they come up). we thought we'd start with almonds. so i made a yummy mandarin cake made with almond meal. anyway, back to the point -...

Is it possible to generalise about how milk supply comes in with second & subsequent children? I had a devil of a job getting adequate milk production, but got there in the end. I'm wondering whether it's likely to be easier if there is a next time? -- Mogget, the Churl in the Puce Greatcoat

Ollie has slept more than five hours in a row exactly once in his life, on Christmas Eve -- ah, what a lovely present that was. He wakes up every two to four hours during the night, nurses, and is right back asleep. We co-sleep, and it isn't that big of a deal. People always ask me if he "sleeps...

I have been having no end of problems with DD since I introduced solids just after 6 months (she is now nearly 8 months). I felt that she didn't need them, as she was still happy with the breast only, and was very settled. But I bowed to pressure, and started. And she is now really unsettled,...
