I'm just wondering... I'm aware that everyone is from every corner of the globe, and IIRC, there's not too many that are from around where I am, but maybe there's a few I've missed that are around often, and here's to hoping there's a few lurkers... I'm in Canada (Western Canada, if it makes a...

Hello, My baby tends to eat between 80 ml and 130 ml. The problem is that when she eats less there is milk left in the bottle. So far we've been throwing everything out that she doesn't finish. Since it's breast milk I hate to waste it. Can you put any leftover milk in the bottle back in the...

Well, only one item on the buffet line. DD is 5 months now, still co-sleeping. We like it for the most part. I'd planned to transition her whenever she cut back to 1-2 nursings per night. She's reverse cycling so still eating a lot at night, but it had settled down. In the last few weeks, however,...

I'm delurking to vent. E is 13 months old. She seems to have gone back to her newborn days with respect to night nursings. I can't sleep with her hanging on to the boob, and as a result I'm resentful and angry and just generally frustrated during the day. This started about two months ago. DH...

IIRC, Irene had put a link showing ideas on how to make your own wrap... I found he http://www.mamatoto.org/documents/MakeAWrap.pdf a basic home made wrap that you just buy the material and go, and it also has a few ways to wear it. Last night, I went out to the Walmart and picked up 5m (it...

DD2, 1 week old today, has been nursing just fine. No problems at all. I feed her on demand and she does eat well. Yesterday, I was sitting at the table nursing and I realized that the side she was not feeding on was leaking. (Yes, I know this is normal) and I decided to kind of 'catch' it in...

DD is 11 months old and still mostly breastfed. She kind of eats solids at times, but is really more interested in just playing with it - which is fine. She's very healthy and happy - and I love feeding her, but while I'm happy, I'm not healthy. I've been feeling sick and flat and dizzy for...

I haven't done any other research on this, but wow!!! http://www.sciencenews.org/articles/20061209/bob8.asp Irene

Well, I'm starting to discuss weaning with dd. :) She's still nursing a lot, and, frankly, I'm getting tired of it. So, we've been talking a lot lately about whether she's a little girl, a big girl, etc. Right now, she seems to think she's a Little Big Girl. ;) (She turns 3 yo in April, btw) ...

Hi all, Kivi and I have finally weaned (I think anyway). She turns 5 years old on Tuesday. I have been weaning her for the last six months or so. Generally, it was so gradual and gentle, that I don't think she really noticed. But I was tired of it, and it was time. For the last year, most of...

I got very good response for my first posted question. So I am posting this one to see if there is any Moms who have the same experience. Some time when I nurse my baby, she moves so much. Her whole body moves. This makes it very hard to nurse. I thought it may be becuase she has gas. I burp her,...

....we have a lovely ten-week-old boy, vigorous, cleareyed... About noon yesterday I glanced in on him sleeping in his pram, and saw that he looked very pale, too pale. I looked more closely and saw he had big blue rings under his eyes. By now I was examining him closely, and thought I heard a...

I never thought I'd feel this way, but I am starting to want to wean Will. The ONLY reason I am thinking this way is that I'm just getting fatter and fatter. I need to lose 20kg (44lbs) to be in my personal comfort zone for weight. I was exercising very regularly but was hit with shin...

....Just wondering... DD2 is 5 weeks. So far, weight gain has been great, she does seem to be eating enough, but lately, maybe the last week or so, I've noticed that she's doing the same thing as DD1 did... She'll eat, and then it's almost like she gets angry and frustrated. She'll try to suck...

Did anyone hear about that family in Oregon who was stranded in their car for 7 or 9 days with no food, and mom kept her 4 year old and 7 months nourished by breastfeeding? I was so amazed by that, especailly since they had no food (I'm not sure if they had liquids or not). Unfortunately, the...

I got a shot of Rocephin, which appears to be safe for nursing moms, but also a 'script for Sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim (bactrim). Lots of sources say its contraindicated for BF, but kellymom says it's L3 - 'safe but risk is possible'. Does anyone have Hale's? I'm kind of paranoid to take...

We were in the middle of nowhere on a road trip (DD does NOT like driving so this wasn't fun), and though I normally try to avoid petrol stations when DD is with me, there wasn't much choice. She woke up and screamed for nursing and I desperately had to pee, and the only place was the petrol...
