I wrote a few days ago about this rash I have. The Dr. said it was poison ivy but it's been almost 2 weeks. Now it has spread all over my body including my breasts. It is so itchy. I called the Dr. on call yesterday and she said it sounds like impetigo. If it is, it's probably very contagious....

My son is 11 weeks old and has begun to suck his thumb. When I see him, I move his hand away, but when I am not around he is sucking it vigurously. Why is he doing it at such young age? I wanted to introduce a pacifier, but will he accept it? Will sucking the thumb/pacifier interfere with his...

Picnic in park was fine, very hot (29C, hot for here this time of year) and sunny. New t-shirt saying "I'm one year old". Boxer cake worked ok, but uploading to website not. will try to get some pics. But....drumroll........ He took his **first unassisted steps** at the park (staggers,...

I love nursing. I love my baby. I love that I have this great relationship with Ollie. I don't want him to wean anytime soon. OK, that disclaimer out of the way... I'M GOING ****ING NUTS TODAY. Ollie just won't eat or drink anything other than breastmilk, straight from the tap. One jar of...

Hi, Ok, we have just bought the Britax Marathon which we will start using today if I can bug dh into installing it ;-) My silly question is, what on earth do I do with dd say when we go out for a meal? I am used to carrying her in the Graco car seat. Now I have nothing to keep her in. Am I...

Hello all! Some of you I know, and others I am enjoying reading about from your posts. I just recently had my baby, and thought I would check out this ng since I've been a regular on MKP for the last several months. : ) My name is Alicia, I'm 29 and have just had a beautiful baby boy (Aug 9th)...

I shouldn't have bought/read What to Expect The First Year... Same reasons. It's really down on attachment parenting and breastfeeding. It actually says that you should start supplementing around 6 weeks so the baby gets used to it, just in case.... the same friend had that on her shelf, I...

So if bf babies get antibodies from Mom and mom had the chicken pox (or some other virus) in the passed why doesn't that antibody get passed on to the baby? Is it only currently active antibodies that work. I guess I wish they would get them from Mom regardless of when she had the virus and then...

September 15th. I need to be there at 8, and if all goes well, I'll be home by noon. If all goes unwell, I'll be in the hospital 4 days, but my surgeon said he's only got a 2% "convert to open procedure" rate. I'm meeting with the anesthesiologist on the 10th to discuss drugs, since...

When I went into labour with my first my waters broke before I went into labour. I had a baby boy weighing 7lbs 9 and a half. With my 5th baby labour started with my waters breaking, and I had another baby boy 7lbs 9 and a half. Out of 5 births these were the only two that started with my...

Hi Our DD is 6 weeks old now and we tried her with a bottle of ebm for the first time today. I pumped 2 oz whilst feeding her from the other breast (is this the best thing to do?) then later gave her the ebm before breastfeeding. She took to it great. If i ever want to leave DH with her, how...

Gee, here we go again. I have yet another plugged duct, in the same place as the last 6. At least this time DD is keeping it under control, and I managed to massage it a bit myself, and clear it - but not completely. So now I am looking at the possibility of ultrasound. I read somewhere that...

Caterpillar has started clamping down when she's done sucking, without regard to whether it's pinky or nipple in her mouth. Pinky doesn't bother me, but slipping down and chomping nipple is very unpleasant. The first time wasn't very hard, and I just said "Ow" and took it away from her. This time...

So, we had Alena vaccinated today. I didn't want to, but then my doctor mentioned that with CAS involved, I may not want to push my luck. DH really wanted her vaccinated. So I caved. I didn't like doing it, and now the monkey is just sleeping. I woke her up after five hours to nurse, but she's not...

....or do I just have so much milk that this kiddo doesn't *have* to build up my supply? I've waited and waited for her growth spurts to have her catch up to my supply...at 2 weeks, I hoped, at 3 weeks I prayed, and now we're almost at 6 weeks and there's not a sign of a nurse-every-hour growth...

I'm worried about what happens when Pillbug hits a growth spurt and I'm pumping. As I understand it, he nurses lots and lots to get more milk, then he gets more milk, then he sleeps to grow. Now, if he drinks lots and lots of EBM in those first couple of days that he's really only supposed to be...
