Happy 2nd Birthday to Barbara's (Circe) Vernon! I hope you have a wonderful day! :-) -- Brigitte aa #2145 http://www.babiesonline.com/babies/j/joshuaandkaterina/ http://www.villagephotos.com/pubbrowse.asp?selected=782084 "Readers are plentiful; thinkers are rare."

I am thinking about taking a short intense cooking class that would be 5 days long, 14 hours a day, at the end of July. My baby will be 7 months old, so I presume from my previous babies that she'll be on some solid food but still mostly nursing. At the moment, I am a sahm, and the baby doesn't...

some stuff I read out of another article today, which I thought was pretty interesting - Dummy Myths and Facts. FACT 1: Studies of newborns have shown no evidence of so-called nipple confusion. Babies do seem to be able to suck for comfort on a dummy yet know how to feed from the breast without...

Hi there ... I am scheduled tomorrow to have a nuclear scan done on my chest .... I something in my lungs...they need to do this to find out what it is .... I was told by the staff that I will need to pump and dump for 12 hours after the scan is done ... Here are my questions: Are they being...

We're not really vegetarians, but DH is strongly opposed to giving DD meat now. I'm trying to figure out what foods to give her to include protein. She's 10.5 months, on 3 solids meals per day (most days), but she doesn't eat a ton. Our menu looks like this: B'fast - museli OR semolina OR mixed...

Hi there everyone, I am in desperate need of help. I have an 8 week old baby girl that cries all the time. She has been diagnosed with reflux and is on medication for it which is helping that problem but she is still very unsettled and have been to the paediatrician and they can't find...

If you wanted to join the Parents of Food Allergic Kids mailing list, there's a wait right now...guess there are too many people out there with food allergic kids! :-) Still, go sign up anyway, and they'll add you in turn. And if you have an extreme problem, it sounds like they'd add you...

How do you put a baby on a schedule when bfing? My baby is 2 months old and is totally not on a schedule. I have been keeping a log of her habits and am surprised that she nurses 12+ times a day - and many are very short feedings. She takes a ton of short naps and only a couple of 2 hour naps. ...

Idiot me wore a too-tight bra for a full day and now my breasts are sore. I am suspecting a partially plugged ducts. I have been pumping every time I feel a bit full and also if Isabella hasn't nursed long enough to take away that soreness. But now my supply is increasing because of the added...

I have to get a cavity replaced next week, I am exclusively breastfeeding my 4 month old. Is it okay or should I wait?? KR

!!! If this appears more than once I apologise - it didn't appear in 24hrs and its the 1st time I've posted from home; so trying good old google to post. So sorry in advance if this is repeated.... --------------------------------------------------------------- Excuse the two groups - but I am...

Hi all, We're getting used to living with Lily Bean...seems she sleeps best when she's next to me in bed. I never felt comfortable enough to sleep with Laszlo in the bed with us (until he was much older) and I'm just a little concerned about the safety. I have a Snuggle Nest (THANKS Michelle!)...

I'm becoming increasingly dissatisfied using hormonal birth control (I'm on the minipill right now, have been since 8 weeks post partum) and have been looking at other options. I came across saliva fertility monitors like the Lady Q (http://tinyurl.com/2ccfl). Has anyone here used something like...

First a background... DD goes in spurts 3 or 4 days of being fussy... then 1 day of sleeping through the night, and most of the next day. DD is 7 weeks old and fed EBM. Anyhow... when she's fussy during those days, she eats every 2 hours at least 5 ounces... sometimes more, and more often.

Hi, I have a 10 week old daughter who is exclusively breastfed. She has a bad case of oral thrush - I have been giving her Nystatin drops for 10 days and if anything the thrush has got worse over that time. I am using cream on myself and as far as I can tell I'm clear of the thrush. She's been...

I'll de-lurk to ask a question, as I really value the group's insights and opinions. My DD is 11.5 months old. For the past week she has been nursing at least every 2 hrs., sometimes for a snack sometimes a full-fledged nursing. This includes waking in the night to eat. She is also on 3 solid...

I seem to have many small letdowns rather than a long one. I read through other posts and people talk about their milk flowing (when pumping) for 45 minutes. I get the impression that other people's milk continuously flows instead of a bunch of letdowns like me. I am pretty sure this is how it...

Well, I tried nursing Caterpillar lying down. Neither one of us were very satisfied with it, but I'm not sure how much of that was novelty, and how much was inherent to the setup. Do any of these things change / get better / go away with practice? -- If she only eats on one side, she wakes up...
