Hi ladies How long did you all bleed after delivery. My baby will be 3 weeks tomorrow and im still bleeding. Not very bad, but bad enough to wear a pad. I was reading in one of my books and it said the max you should have bleeding is 2 weeks and if it goes longer it could be because of pieces...

My sister is pretty sure that she has PMDD (premenstrual dystrophic disorder, IIRC). The "new" drug for this is Sarafem, which is nothing more than Prozac under another name. I checked around a bit and I see that Prozac is not generally recommended for nursing mothers. But she has tried Paxil...

All four of my children have the flu. I thought I was getting it too, because I was coughing, aching, had a runny nose, and had a fever of 100, but the next day I had no fever, just a cough and runny nose. IS it possible I could have such a short bout of flu, or do I have something else? If a bf...

.... into the dangerous world I leapt; Helpless, naked, piping loud, Like a fiend hid in a cloud. Struggling in my father's hands, Striving against my swaddling-bands, Bound and weary, I thought best To sulk upon my mother's breast." -- William Blake

When my sister's sons were born, I combined my work as a comedian with my web design capabilities to build them unique websites. They've been so popular, that she suggested I offer my services to other new parents. Basically what I did with my nephews' sites was to incorporate their pictures into...

I gave birth on July 3, so 11 days ago. My daughter's in NICU so have been pumping since day 1. Got the usual contractions while pumping, a few days ago got heavier cramping, but all still within what seems like normal range. But beginning yesterday, every time I pump I got nausea. I don't throw...

I've been away from MKB from quite some time now since my kids are older. I have a question for my friend whose OB prescribed zoloft for ppd. She won't take it for several reasons. Her pediatrician told her it wasn't safe for nursing and her husband seems to have some bias against antidepressants....

I posted the other day about my resolve to exclusively bf Erin until we start solids. That is not the problem. The problem is starting solids and my parenting choices. Erin is 6w6d and when we were waiting to pick DS (6yo) from school, another mother was asking about Erin. She asked how old...

Hi. I am thinking about getting a breast pump - just for occasional use, as I will be at home with the baby for at least the first 10 months - after that, I'm not quite sure whether or not I will be going back to work. I have read good things about the Avent Isis, but I'd like some more opinions....

I'm not controversial enough to not have my DD vaccinated but I do have some concerns. I know this issue has been debated over and over, and I'm not looking to start up another one on whether to or not - but just looking for advice on how to. Ideally I would like to get the combined vaccinations...

Hi all, Just wondering if anyone has a recommendation for a Canadian source of domperidone...I'm thinking my doctor may recommend a script to have in hand in case I do have to go back to work outside the home quickly, and thought maybe someone here might have done some comparison shopping...

( I posted this a few days ago but it's not showing - guess it got lost somewhere!) Anyway.... I'm thinking about stopping BF DS when he gets to one year (a month and a half away) for one reason and one reason only. DS is allergic to milk to an extent that I can't consume anything with milk in...

Well, it's official. After four months of taking EBM from a bottle without too much fuss, ds#2 has decided that really boob is the only way to go. The last three times he's been left with a bottle of EBM, he's fussed and refused it most stubbornly. And don't get me started on the failed attempts to...

My son is 6 weeks old today. He was a little early (37+4) and small (5lb 13oz), after he had got over his jaundice he fed frequently, every 2 hours or more often. He ate even more than this between 10 days and 2 weeks, presumably the first growth spurt, then over the next three weeks he started to...

I guess I'd forgotten how absolutely insatiably hungry I was in the first few weeks of Laszlo's life on the boob. I cannot stop eating for 2 seconds. It's probably worse because we're in the house all day (for the most part) as well as the fact that my mother and husband keep getting me food. I...

"Andrea" wrote in message ... My health visitor really wants me to go on the meds. I know I need them but I feel so guilty taking meds while nursing, and i'm scared about them changing me. Did the meds change...

Hey Mary, Hope it's a wonderful second birthday for Sproutkin today! Haven't seen you around much on the groups of late, so I hope you're feeling well and everyone is doing great. Can you believe it's been 2 years already? Yikes! -- Be well, Barbara (Julian , Aurora , and Vernon's mom) All...
