If you wanted to join the Parents of Food Allergic Kids mailing list, there's a wait right now...guess there are too many people out there with food allergic kids! :-) Still, go sign up anyway, and they'll add you in turn. And if you have an extreme problem, it sounds like they'd add you...

I am having a bit of trouble clarifying my question in my own mind, so bear with me as this may not be the clearest of posts! My baby boy is a little bit over 3 weeks old. In the last week, he has started having "episodes" of being unhappy at the breast. This is really frustrating for me and I'm...

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

Dear all, After 4 months exclusive bfing, I think it is time to teach my dd to use bottle with ebm. In fact, dh used to feed her once with bottle every Saturaday and my mom will do that once with bottle every Sunday while mom helping us to babysit dd. However, dd doesn't really like the bottle,...

Hi everyone! I've been lurking here for quite some time, and have a moment to post an intro. I may be asking lots of questions! My name is Lissie, and my DS was born on Sept. 7th. He was 8 pounds 4 ounces at birth - I had a long/difficult labor, with some complications. I had hoped to have ...

We took Moo boy swimming today and afterwards I settled down to breasteed him, nothing unusual there, a few people do, some with bottles, some with boob. Us parents were talking afterwards about weaning and I said that I was going to wait until Moo was ready for it, we talked about how we'd know...

Hi. I am desperate to stop giving DD formula and am taking Domperidone, Fenugreek, and Blessed Thistle. How much is okay to take? I am taking 1 Domperidone, 2 Blessed Thistle, and 4 Fenugreek every 6 hours. I don't notice it, but DH says I smell like maple syrup, which is supposed to mean you're...

DS is a little over seven months now, and he's a busy baby: crawling, scooting, trying to work his way up to standing, then rolling, grinning at mommy, talking, playing with toys. His schedule is full, so he doesn't want to waste too much time nursing. He'll have some longer feeds in...

Hi, DD is 20 months old and is still nursing 2-3 times a day. I've been on the mini pill since 4 weeks PP. I'd like to move over to the regular pill as DH and I would like the higher protectiveness against pregnancy. What is the likelyhood that my milk would dry up by switching to the regular...

Just when I finally weaned myself from this lurking this newsgroup for helping my daughter and granddaughter with nursing issues, along comes Noah. Noah is my daughter's nephew-- my son-in-law's sister is his mom. Noah was born October 1st, caesarian after 36 hours of induced labor. Mom...

My DD was given only formula for the first 10 days after her birth. Since then she's been exclusively on breast milk. Now, after 7 months of exclusive bfing, I'm having to supplement because of supply issues. Nobody in my family has lactose intolerance. I love all milk products. I eat lots of low...

Okay, I just got back from a playgroup, and there's an LC there who I think might be blowing smoke. A woman with a 4-month old was talking to her about giving her son some solids now, cause he just started wanting to nurse at night after sleeping through for a while. The LC said that it was okay...

Ok, I'm 13ish weeks pregnant with my first, so I might just be borrowing trouble here... I'm applying for (and have a decent chance of getting) a full time job. Currently I work part time, and our plan had been for me to essentially stop working when the baby was born. Taking this job would mean...
