Nursing while sleeping by
Phoebe & Allyson
Well, I tried nursing Caterpillar lying down. Neither one
of us were very satisfied with it, but I'm not sure how much
of that was novelty, and how much was inherent to the setup.
Do any of these things change / get better / go away with
practice?

Caterpillar has a drink of water by
Phoebe & Allyson
When she has her bath, Caterpillar (4 1/2 months) gets her
own two-handled cup to play with. Otherwise she wants to
play with the cup I use to wet and rinse her with. I
usually give her some clean water in it to play with, and it
goes over the side and over her chin and everywhere but in
her...

Well all, I got bit by a squirrel today!! DH was feeding him, so I decided

Ouch! Are squirrels rabies carriers in your area? ...

Caterpillar has a cold by
Phoebe & Allyson
She was a little stuffy for the last day or two, and now has
a runny nose. She's been coughing because of all the drool
collecting in her throat, but now she's coughing more
because her nose is draining.
Ah-mah says it's because we don't dress her warmly enough
and don't change her the moment she...

Now I have Caterpillar's cold by
Phoebe & Allyson
Bleah. I got through an entire pregnancy without being
sick, and am all out of practice. Vaporizer and hot water
with honey and lemon and ibuprofen and DM cough syrup and
cough drops are not cutting it. I'm dying for a dose of
Sudafed, but I really don't want to risk a supply dip...

Caterpillar's first solids by
Phoebe & Allyson
Along the same line as Kate's Bug and the index card.
Caterpillar usually "reads" the newspaper with me, so I gave
her a piece of junk mail (a heavy weight oversize postcard)
this afternoon while I read the good stuff. A few minutes
later, I realized that she wasn't tearing it up so much...

Help for mom w/ PPD? by
Phoebe & Allyson
I was at a client's workplace today (he's a client of ours and we're a
client of his), and asked in passing how his wife was doing, and spent the
next half hour hearing that she was not well. So I'm going to call her to
see if we can get together this week, but I need some suggestions for...

9 month wbv by

Our pediatrician's office called yesterday, to remind us of an appointment

Teething and Temperatures by
Phoebe & Allyson
Nothing visible, but Caterpillar is working hard - gnawing,
rubbing gums, drooling (although she's been drooly for
months), and running a low-grade fever (forehead is warm
when kissed, but not hot). Hyland's Teething Tablets work
remarkably well (we aren't big believers in homeopathy, but
I don't...

Caterpillar had a playdate (long) by
Phoebe & Allyson
We went over to play with Caterpillar's separated at birth
twin (born on the same day, also has two moms) today. The
babies seemed mostly uninterested in each other, so this was
more for the moms to get to know each other.
If it weren't for having same-aged kids, I suspect we
wouldn't hang out...

Growth spurt or just stress? by
Phoebe & Allyson
Caterpillar had a no good, horrible, very bad day today.
Woke up around 8:30, nursed on both sides, got changed, into
the carseat, off to have her ears checked (she can hear!).
Big poopy diaper around 10am, right on schedule; didn't want
to nurse after (unusual -- she usually eats every 2...

Sure. This address works (and I check it regularly). I
live between Broken Arrow and Coweta, if that means anything
to you.

Baby Acne & Allergies by
Phoebe & Allyson
Poor Caterpillar (7 weeks) is horribly broken out. She has
been for several weeks, and I suspect she will be for
several more weeks. My copy of Sears' The Baby Book says
that baby acne onsetting before 2 weeks and spreading into
the hair and down the neck can be a sign of allergy. Hers
didn't...

May just be a generational thing - I took Caterpillar to

Bre@st Preference by
Phoebe & Allyson
I put Caterpillar on the slow-flow side last night, and fed
her until she refused to latch anymore. (She ate about as
long as she normally does on the fast-flow side, but I
suspect she got a lot less milk.) Sure enough, 5 minutes
later, she started making "hungry" cues. So I put her back
on that...

Nursing in sling by
Phoebe & Allyson
I finally figured it out. I've been trying to get the hang
of the snuggle hold, since she likes to be more upright. So
I put her in, and we walked around for a little bit trying
to get us both comfy. Eventually I noticed her nose was
right at nipple level, pulled up my shirt, and shoved her
on. ...

More WOH questions by
Phoebe & Allyson
I know there have been a lot of pump-related questions
lately, but I can't help myself.
Taking Caterpillar to work isn't working for anyone - she
gets hot and grouchy, I can't concentrate, and we spend most
of our time packing, traveling, and unpacking. So the new
plan is that I'll work mornings...

Caterpillar turned 3 on May 31st. Most recent pic at

She still nurses as much as I let her, which is sometimes two sides a
day and sometimes more. I think she's gone one day in her entire life
without nursing.
She started preschool the week before she turned 3, and...
