My dd is 8.5 months old. I would love to read to her. I want her grow up liking books. But there's a problem. She chews on EVERYTHING. She loves to put everything in her mouth except food ofcourse! If she so much as sees a book, she'll chew it and tear it apart. She'll just jump at the book and...

Liam doesn't have any teeth yet but lately he is biting down with his gums and twisting as he comes off the breast. OWW!! He thinks this is fun because he grins at me when I wince in pain. What do I do, he's only 5 months so I don't think telling him no, or removing him will get the message...

Hey everyone, Heather is here and I realized quickly how much I had forgotten about breastfeeding! She's 9 days old now and the pain and blisters are just now finally going away. OMG I don't remember it hurting that bad with my son. I checked her latch over and over and everything seemed right...

I finally got my period after almost 22 mos without it, on July 4. Prior to pgcy, it had been fairly heavy, very painful, and lasted around 7 days. This---that seemed to be a period to me---was so light, not hardly painful, and lasted 3 days. Was this not a period and something else? Or is...

To lose 30 lbs and I am still nursing. Now normally I would just eliminate carbs, drop the weight fast and then slowly introduce them back into my diet. That's what I did before I got pregnant with Nicolas and I lost it fast. Unfortunately because I got pregnant right away (within 6 weeks of...

How are you all? Are you getting any sleep? Does it still hurt when they latch on? teapot and moo boy 8th june 03

Am I the only one that things this is not reasonable? Is this along the lines of people thinking one can nurse in a bathroom stall?

Ok, my ability to pump an adequate amount breastmilk is dwindling, and now I am feeding mostly thawed breastmilk that I have stored up since January. We have about 400 6 oz bags - enough to last about 3 more months, which will put Emily at almost 8 months. At that point, we will need to do...

I'm just curious as to the percentage of babies (like mine) who just arn't that interested in solids. I started him on mushed stuff a month ago at 6 mths old and I'm still lucky if I can get a teaspoon worth into him. My mates child, the same age as the Moo wolfs down his puree. I waited until...

These will seem like daft questions but I would appreciate your input on these few questions/ points that I have been thinking about. They are regarding my 7 week baby boy who sleeps in a crib in our room. 1. If a baby farts during or just after feeding, does that count as winding ie has the air...

Yesterday I saw an advert for the agency that runs several local day care centres. In big letters it said "nappies, formula milk and healthy meals included" and basically nothing else, only a telephone number and web address. Now, I realise that this is a fact, they do include formula milk,...

I've heard that there are no false positives, but I'm praying that is incorrect. I had a daughter in December, and have been waiting for my cycle to start this month so I can have my IUD put in, on the advice of you good people here. Well, I'm 10 days late. Except for one "whoops" earlier in...

One of Allyson's mom's coworkers had a baby last night. She doesn't speak a word of English, and none of the nurses speak a word of Chinese. So instead of trying to convey "Your baby is hungry and you should try to bf," they just gave the baby formula. Never mind that she *wants* to bf (I asked...
