Wise women all, I'm sure you've all addressed this in one form or another here, but if anyone would be willing to comment I'd be very grateful. My DS is going on 5 weeks now and my DH and I (though I more than he, arguably) are hoping I can start pumping enough to take care of some...

Hi, I just joined Weight Watchers last week, and I was wondering how you dealt with the nursing mothers instructions. They say that nursing mothers can add 10 points to their daily point total. But, if the baby is not exclusively breastfed, then you don't get any points. geesh. I know...

The time is quickly coming to start introducing some 'real' food to DS. He will be six months old on February 11th. He sits well. I've made him a couple of Momsicles to distract him from my food at dinnertime and have fed him slushy BM off of a spoon. He seems to have a chewing motion, but some is...

DD and I were sitting watching Sesame Street and "Super Grover" was having cape trouble, ultimately resulting in him falling from the sky. MY DD is suitably sad for Grover. Afterwards, as Maria is giving him a comforting motherly hug, she looks at Grover and says "Milk Na-Na" (boobie juice,...

DS and I have had a miserable last week or so. I've had a horrible cough (no other symptoms) that seems to worsen when I sit down to rock/nurse him. Every time he gets almost to sleep, I start coughing and wake him. Sometimes, I cough while he's nursing and he pulls away and starts crying because...

I bought some rice flakes today with the idea of making porridge out of them for the Moo boy. The lable says "Rice flakes are made by flattening rice between rollers. Due to possible contamination at this stage unfortunatly they cannot be guaranteed gluten free." I am faithfully following the...

You can avoid the sugar and salt and go organic, or whatever floats your boat: 3 cups quick oats Salt 6 plastic sandwich bags Put 1/2 cup oats in blender and blend at high speed until powdery. Reserve in a small bowl, then process another 1/2 cup oats. Into each bag, put 1/4 cup unchopped oats, 2...

i have been reading "fresh milk: the secret life of breasts" by fiona giles. it has some interesting things in it. one of them is talking about how people "would rather have milk from some fly-ridden old cow in a muddy field than from your best friend". also, it was talking about wet nurses &...

I know the re-heating guidelines for breastmilk and also formula. Once she turns one and we switch to cow's milk, should we still follow the same guidelines? When will it be "ok" to leave milk/juice for more than an hour or so in the cup and offer it again? Thanks.

Have any of you seen this behavior befo Baby, 6 months old. At night, still sleeping, cough-cries - I mean, her cries sound like coughing or barking, very short, harsh, and distinctive. Always settled by nursing. Will proceed to actual crying if the cough-cry is not answered. Does not do this...

When is a good age to offer a toddler peanut butter? We've been cautious about food allergies, but so far everything's fine. Also, what's the deal with cow's milk? Ollie's never had it plain, but he likes yoghurt and cheese. Should I offer him some cow's milk, or is there any reason to wait? He...

On the advice of our pediatrician, we have been giving our DD (4.5 months old) Poly-Vi-Sol with Iron daily. The only reason I really consented to this (because I feel that breastmilk is the perfect food for DD) is for the Vitamin D...DD gets very little sunshine if any with the winter weather, and...

Laszlo did something really cute today. We were rough housing and he was hitting me in the face (not the cute part, but not hitting me hard either)...and I said, "Nice Mommy" so he made nice on my face. Then I said, "Are you going to make nice on Baby Lily when she comes?" - he usually has no...
