so why does it bug me so much when people disparage, or at least dismiss my efforts? I really don't *need* a pat on the back (tho the occassional one is definitely nice!), but what gets me is the person who says "I had low supply so was forced to supplement and he's now on formula.I didn't have an...

I've been pumping and storing since almost the beginning after DD2 was born. She's 3 months old tomorrow (wow!) She's had bottles of EBM every now and then, and when I first started pumping and storing, I bought the stupidly expensive bags that are zipper-sealed, intended for storing...

I thought this was a big no-no... Mixing formula and breast milk... The quickness of the situation... A lady on a local board for mostly SAHMs is going for surgery on Thursday. She has a 10ish week old daughter. Exclusively bf. Baby is going to the inlaws for 3 days while she recovers from...

After the little discussion about baby wraps and all that, I went out and picked up this nasty pink material. I figured it was stretchy and I thought it 'rolled' when stretched. Turned out that it did fray and not 'roll' and it also really wasn't as stretchy as I had thought. It kind of...

DS2 is nearly 20mo now. He has never had formula. I have BFed his teddy a number of times. Last week he was sitting on the step with his shirt up, BFing Teddy. Teddy seemed a bit low but I didn't think anything of it. Today, after his bath, I had to BF Teddy again. Then DS2 took over. The...

So...I just found out I won a cruise (!) in March - but my baby will only be 6 1/2 months old then, and by the rules of the contest everybody who goes has to be 21. So I can't take him with me. Is it possible to maintain our BF relationship if I'm away from him for a week? (With mad pumping...

Hi, I'm in the process of weaning. I'm down to morning and night (before bed). I'm close to dropping the morning feeding (which I think he's ready, since he points to the door when I come in and fights my nursing him). After that, I'll only have the nighttime one. My son WON'T drink anything...

I'd like to start using sign language for basic words. Is there an online research for this? Betsy

For me, I thought this wasn't good advice at all. I wanted to know what others thought! Last night, around 1am, off I go to the 24h pharmacy, taking DD2 with me. She's 12 weeks now, and for the last week or so, she's been quite difficult, to say the least, come evening. Around 9pm or so...

My baby had diarrhea for a month. Since then, I notice her tummy rumbles big time when I am nursing her, sometimes a couple of hours after nursing. The gas generated makes her very uncomfortable. Is this normal? What are the possible causes? Is there anything I can do to make it better? Please...

I gave up on trying not to be a paranoid new mom ;-) At 3.5 months DD had her checkup with the developmental specialist who declared all as well developmentally, no residual effects from the birth/nicu/drugs. She was doing everything she should do and more at that point. Around that time she...

So I'm not really sure what I should have done. I was in the grocery with DS (6mo) and DD 2 1/2). DD was happy, singing, wearing her bunny suit, and someone stopped to admire her. DD then stuck a finger in her nose, and then in her mouth. The stranger swatted at her hand and said "Oh, that's...

I have two questions that are unrelated one from the other and have little to do with BF, but since you are all great and experienced mothers (and fathers) I want your opinion and your expertise. DD Ilona is not 17mths, she still BF early morning and before bedtime and very seldom at nap time,...

Hello, To whom this may concern... I will be delivering my second baby in 2-3 weeks. I experience trouble with my delivery and breastfeeding was a priority but didn't work out the way I had planned for my first. I don't want to be in the same situation this time around. Instead want to be...

My 3 and half month baby has diarrhea for 10 days!! She is waken up by it every night. The doctor said she has virus infection and put her on pedialyte diet for 24 hours and it got worse!!. We took her to children's hospital and the doctor there couldn't expain why it would get worse with water...

Anyone watch Rome, or have any info to share about ancient Roman funereal rites? While the multiple-stab-wounded Caesar was laid out to received mourners at his home, his wife welcomed in a woman who dropped her top, squeezed a bit of breastmilk into the dead Caesar's mouth, then left after a...

Some resources had claimed that breastfeeding baby's intelligence is much better than babies without breastfeeding, or purely depand on milk powder. How true is it? regards, Anthony and Tracey http://mummycorner.com
