self weaning vs strike vs normal "cutback" by
Dawn Lawson
DS is nearly 11 mo.
I feel like he's REALLY cut back his nursing in the last few weeks,
started sleeping mostly thru the night suddenly around 10 mo (YAY
after Loooooong haul to get there) will nurse 2 or 3 sides between
about 5 am and about 8am, usually nurses to sleep for naps and
bedtime, seems...

"random" nursing and breast health by
Dawn Lawson
Ok, I'm starting to accept that DS's nursing interest may not rally, and
that his schedule might be a bit "random" (He nursed twice this
afternoon outside of naptime, unheard of for quite a while now. Nursed
to sleep for nap and bed. Didn't nurse yesterday at all, iirc.)
Do I need to worry about...

cow's milk vs formula for 16mo?? by
Dawn Lawson
any reason NOT to use cow's milk if he's only taking about 4 oz at
bedtime? *I* will happily be the one to fork out the cash for organic
formula, if it makes more sense.

OT DS cured me? ;-) by
Dawn Lawson
*g* I have PCOS. DS was likely my only prior ovulation (and I have the
ultrasound to prove I had a follicle (like DS wasn't enough), but since
his birthday, I have had regular cycles, and suspected I was
ovulating....this "cycle" was weird, but I decided to chart
(haphazardly). tomorrow I'm...

OT vaccine ads on radio by
Dawn Lawson
i'm not sure if I'm angry or offended or disgusted or all of the above.
The new Prevnar ad on the radio:
Little girl's lispy voice talking about her brother, who "mommy cries
when she talks about", who can't hear or walk right because he got sick.
Female "voice over" about how this doesn't have...

OT update on carseat/weight by
Dawn Lawson
Got DS weighed today....22lbs 10oz. A bit more than I expected, but not
much. 31 inches long.
The public health nurse asked if I was measuring him for his carseat
switch, and I said yes. WITHOUT ASKING what kind of carseat I use, she
said "well, he's fine to turn around"
How ironic is *that*...

typing quietly... by
Dawn Lawson
.....so as not to jinx it.
DS nursed 3 times today, and has ben quite actively bringing me the
shield and although he's still putting his mouth to my breast without
"latching" most of the time, he hasn't nursed this much for about a
week! Maybe it was just a strike.....*fingers crossed*

what is a good breast pump by
Dawn Lawson
Lori wrote:
Hi everyone
Can someone please tell me what a good breast pump would be.
Avent Isis for manuals
Medela's Pump in Style for electric.
You're likely going to hear that electric is far better for serious pumping
(ie, going back to work early)

CTTD by
Dawn Lawson
DS is just figuring out how to get into sitting position if he ends up
face down (he doesn't crawl, so can't put knees under and go, has to
sit, then one foot down, and opposite hip/thigh to move...FAST), and how
to roll over at night and sleep on his belly.
Today's been a long and busy day,...

Solo flight by
Dawn Lawson
DS did a solo "launch" today for the first time. I went out of the room
we were in, and suddenly wondered who was walking into the room.....DS!!
Until today, he's only walked if he was "launched" by holding the back
of his shirt and then letting go when he started off.
Today he's been walking all...
