I had a major meltdown... :( by
xkatx
Not sure why...
I lost it the evening before last when N basically threw the bowl of
vegetables out of the microwave all over the kitchen... It was, of course,
an accident. He didn't know that there was that much water in it (was
cooking frozen vegetables in water in the mic) and when he went...

I'm giving up... by
xkatx
But only for tonight :D
I picked up a small manual breast pump earlier today and thought I'd give it
a shot. It was a decent price, and I can return it with exceptions within
90 days...
I sat here pumping just now for what seems like forever. It was probably a
good half an hour. Between...

Visit to the ped's office by
xkatx
We had an appointment for both the girls (DD1: 22 months, DD2: 7 months)
today at 1. I had to drag DS along as well, and it went, surprisingly,
pretty good this time.
Doc checked DD1 out. She's about 32" tall and about 25lbs (IIRC, I can't
remember exact numbers) she's doing pretty good. ...

Driving me nuts! by
xkatx
Ok, DD2 is now almost 7 months. Wow, time sure does seem to fly.
She's still nursing strong. Still refuses a bottle, seems dumb towards a
sippy cup. Gave up on trying for the bottle of EBM long ago, decided a
sippy cup of some sort at this point in time isn't too important, so I
haven't...

Cups of...? by
xkatx
Just wondering.
DD2 is now 6 months old. Still nursing strong, still strongly refusing EBM (given up on that a long while back) and still not really interested in any food, other than a boob.
We have given her a bit of the rice cereal, but it's not a regular thing, and it's only at night if I find...

Comfort sucking? by
xkatx
Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts or opinions about this...
DD2, 4 days short of 6 months, is exclusively breastfed, still, and still going strong.
Her diet consists of breast milk and then more breast milk. We have slowly been trying, the last week or so, to introduce some rice cereal,...

Not sure where to ask this... by
xkatx
Don't know where to go (other than the doc, obviously) to find a possible
answer to this question.
DD2 is 5 months old now. Everything's been fine. She's nursing only, I'm
taking that micronor (sp? - mini-pill) and haven't had an actual period
since she was born. My bleeding stopped within a...

For new nursing moms? by
xkatx
Looking for some ideas, so if you have any, do let me know...
My cousin's wife is expecting some time soon. I actually have no idea, and
I really kind of don't care. I don't care much for this cousin (or his
parents and brother, but I would pick this particular cousin, minus his
wife, if I had...

Odd behavior? by
xkatx
Just wondering if this is normal...
DD2 is now just over 3 months. She's still nursing just fine, starting to
sleep a lot longer at night and stays for longer stretches during the day
between feedings.
She's nursed almost always, but every so often I will offer a bottle of EBM.
At the beginning...

Storage dilemma by
xkatx
I've been pumping and storing since almost the beginning after DD2 was born.
She's 3 months old tomorrow (wow!)
She's had bottles of EBM every now and then, and when I first started
pumping and storing, I bought the stupidly expensive bags that are
zipper-sealed, intended for storing...

Good or bad advice given? by
xkatx
For me, I thought this wasn't good advice at all. I wanted to know what
others thought!
Last night, around 1am, off I go to the 24h pharmacy, taking DD2 with me.
She's 12 weeks now, and for the last week or so, she's been quite difficult,
to say the least, come evening.
Around 9pm or so...

I did it! (A wrap) by
xkatx
After the little discussion about baby wraps and all that, I went out and
picked up this nasty pink material. I figured it was stretchy and I thought
it 'rolled' when stretched.
Turned out that it did fray and not 'roll' and it also really wasn't as
stretchy as I had thought. It kind of...

Milk already or never really went away? by
xkatx
Alright, if this is TMI, I apologize first!
For the last little while, I've noticed I do have the first stages of milk
already. I'm checking how far along I am because I can't remember lol...
I'm 35 weeks today.
(Here's probably the TMI part) I have been able to squeeze small amounts of
clear...

(OT) Breast Milk by
xkatx
My apologies... :D I liked it, anyways, and it seems to be only kind of off
topic ;)

A not necessarily well-prepared student sat in his life science classroom,
staring at a question on the final exam paper. The question directed: "Give
four advantages of breast milk."
What to write? He...

Another cloth diaper question... by
xkatx
I often find I follow the topics about cloth diapers... *I* use cloth
diapers for DD, but DH won't because he just can't seem to be able to pin
them and all that... He is also not a fan of rinsing diapers, so when he's
with DD, he opts for the disposables, and when we go out, I put DD...

Advice on food and handling it... by
xkatx
Alright, DD is just about 6 months old now. She's currently on baby food
(she's had stuff like peas, carrots, green beans, squash, wax beans,
applesauce, bananas, etc) I give her some pablum in the morning - sometimes
with a bit of bananas or whatever mixed in, but not always, some veggies...

Breastfeeding and feelings... by
xkatx
I'm wondering if anyone out there has or does or would feel similar to what
I'm feeling lately...
I was a bf baby, so were both of my younger brothers. I have always had
great, great support from my mother as far as nursing goes...
I breastfed DS exclusively until he was about 10 months old, then...

Update to the wedding question... by

It's been a while... We've been extremely busy, it seems, since school's
been out!
I left N at home (he had to work anyways) and took the kids out of province
to the lake with my mom the first week of July, and now we're (well, I am,
anyways) packing to go camping again this afternoon. DS has...
