DD is in a cosleeper on the bed (I love this because I can reach over and caress and calm her without moving, but can't roll over). And it was going fine, but dang she's a loud sleeper! This only started the last few days. She sleeps in 4 hr stretches, and she doesn't wake up crying, she just...

I have a logistical question... How do you swap sides? Do you just nurse off one side all night long? TIA, maureen

I read an article in the paper this morning about a two-week-old who died of SIDS. His mother is using the tragedy as a springboard for a campaign requiring by law that 1) all parents be CPR certified before leaving the hospital and 2) that all parents of infants must have a baby monitor that...

In need of some advice - My six month old has been co-sleeping with me since birth. His first week he would only sleep if someone was holding him. I got literally around 30 - 40 minutes of sleep a night because he would wake up instantly after being put in his crib. I desperately needed sleep so...

Hello, I know co-sleeping is discussed here a lot. I have some specific questions that I can't find answers to in the archive. Here's the situation: DS is nine months old and has been mostly co-sleeping. We have a crib right next to the bed but he rarely sleeps in it. He usually falls asleep...

We don't currently co-sleep with our 10 week DD and have tried to follow the recommendations from the SIDS organizations. She sleeps swaddled in a cot right next to our bed with a breathing monitor under her, and I even wrapped the matress in her cot. I know, probably going overboard, but I'd...

DS2 is 6 weeks old. we co-sleep & he seems to have great head control so i think we are ready to breastfeed lying down at night. at the moment i am sitting on the bed with pillows behind me & i am falling asleep & getting a sore neck/back. so i have a couple of questions: 1. DS2 needs to be burped...

I would love some feedback. We have co-slept with both of our two kids. Though, these days DH sleeps with the 4 year old and I sleep with the baby in another room. Constant colds and sleep issues have set this up for the last couple of weeks so that we just don't sleep well all in the same...

Is coconut considered a tree nut, ie should it be avoided until 5 years old as well? E

This is super-rare, but as they mention in the article codeine is prescribed to so many women, even though such a death is very rare it is important to get the message out that codeine can be dangerous to nurslings. Elle Codeine can turn toxic in nursing mothers: Gene transformed drug...

Hi everyone Well, it's like the plague household, DD, DS and myself have streaming colds and on top of that I have a hacking cough, which the babes aren't very impressed about when they're feeding! Went to the doctors about something else and whilst I was there he wrote me a prescription for...

Hi all, I've decided that at my 8 wk check up at the doctors (for DD and me) where contraception is discussed, I am going to ask to have the coil. I've tried Googling for more info, and I'm still a little in the dark about certain areas, I'm wondering if you can help... Will it affect...

New to group. Seem to have either hayfever+cough or minor cold+cough. Get it every Sept for past 20 years. Normally take Benadryl+Robitussin DM for 2-3 days, and I'm fine. Been exclusively breastfeeding my 4.5 mo old (and don't want to stop or use formula). Did internet research on "safer" OTC...

oht... I refuse to believe this is colic. I think Alena's hit a growth spurt. My milk is flowing like a fast river right now and this monkey is so fussy I barely get any sleep. however everyone around me is saying that she's got colic and that I should stop feeding her every time she cries. well,...

Anyone out there done this successfully? I had a miserable time pumping with my son when I went back to work. I went back to work full time. It was not until several months later, when the breastfeeding had already been ended, that I went to part time work 3 days per week. I have to go to a...

Since I have gone back to work, we have been combi feeding. I pump during the day as best I can and consider it "gravy." My question is if my DD is nursing in the morning and the evening and the middle of the night feeding and not during the day, is a Mamm body "smart" enough to have a sort...

I just got back from seeing my doctor. She had three ideas about how to deal with my never-ending spotting: try dong quai (a chinese herb I know pretty much nothing about); try acupuncture (not a likely choice for me, it's not my style, it's probably not covered by my insurance, and who would...
