Is it OK for a nursing mama to take a cortisone shot for bursitis? Thanks.

Hi. I saw a cosleeper online that I want: http://www.babybunk.com/ I like this better than the Arm's Reach one. It is smaller. And it will not cost anything, since I will just have my handy dandy DH make it. :) I do not anticipate using it for very long. Anyone ever used this? I like the idea of...

Ok so this might be a dumb question, but those people who cosleep, and put their mattress on the floor to prevent their kid(s) from rolling out - do you still have bedside tables?? Because they would then be way too high up to be useful. But if not, do you just plug in an alarm clock and lamps...

Hi all, For all of you cosleepers--how do/did you all deal with your little one crawling in the bed? DS is 7 months old and cosleeps part of the night with me--then part of the night with DH. I go to work in the middle of the night so DH has him alone in bed for half of the night. We are both...

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!)...

Hey, I need some more advice! (1) Is it necessary, when cosleeping, for Mom to alternate sides of the bed so that with the baby in between the parents facing Mom, baby's head doesn't get flattened on one side? (2) Baby sleeps snuggled into Mom's chest; Mom is barechested (for nursing and baby's...

What's the risk on cough meds like Robitussin DM? Laurel

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...

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...

Hello, I just finished my site dedicated to Todays Mom and I'm sure if it is working. Could some one please test it? Thank you very much for your time. Sue

My daughter is 8.5 months and I'm still breastfeeding her but just recently I started to give her some formula. First I tried the ready-to-drink Similac Advanced formula and my daughter drank it without any problems. Few days later I tried the Similac Advanced with Iron and DHA and ARA formula in...

Hiya, Our 5 month baby goes to bed at 7ish and has, for a week now, been "waking up" screaming up to 3-4 times before we go to bed around 10-11. I say waking up, but when we go in to him, his eyes are nearly always closed. If we pick him up (even for a second) he generally stops crying striaght...

Hi Guys, I'm helping a good friend take care of their little one and we're starting to think that she may have a problem with reflux. We're going to see the doctor next week but I want us to be educated before we go in. Basically her DD sleeps on her side & doesn't like sleeping on her back or...

I have been on Zoloft a few months now. It worked right away and I felt great. But it has lost it's effectiveness. I am on 50mg, do I need a higher dose? Also for a few nights now after taking my Zoloft tablet, I have been in agony with waves of heartburn type pain, but no acid came up. The pain...

I am training to be a bf counsellor and one of the questions has stumped me! The question is "how does the time of day/night that a baby feeds affect milk production?". I am pretty sure it is referring to the difference in the content of breastmilk in the day and at night and I am also pretty...

Hi All Well, I plan to bf #2 but I've got a few questions that someone might be able to help me with. With ds I bf'd till he was 15 months, but the early days were hell and I was an inch away from giving up. The main issue was sore, cracked and split nipples. I got through it with the help of...

Hi Sorry to start a new post instead of replying to the other one, but for some reason my newsreader will only let me see 10 headers and I just can't find out how to change it. Anway - thanks for your replies Mary and Anne. It's deffo not inverted, not thrush or a milk blister - I haven't bf...

DS2's been doing a couple things I've been wondering whether I should worry about, so I thought I'd ask here if they were common. Firstly, he sometimes seems to aspirate the milk, when he's eating. He'll be eating, and then pull off and coughs, definitely sounding like he swallowed wrong. It...
