I get this all the time about my 11-month-old, "Gosh she's still just breastfed and not taking solids yet, you must be terribly worried... *pause* .... Goodness aren't her legs and arms FAT?" : / ROSIE "Andrea" wrote

Hi. My daughter, Lucy, is 10-1/2 months old. I had planned on breastfeeding for 1 year and then begin ttc again. I have supplemented with expressed breastmilk and formula here and there when I could not be available. In fact, about a month in a half ago I went away for 2 days and my mother gave...

I have this infection on my leg. I plan to see the Dr. but I was wondering if I could take anything for it. The baby doesn't take a bottle so that's out of the question. Kris

Does anyone know if this is normal? I had an IUD fitted 4 weeks ago and had the normal cramps and bleeding that stopped after a couple of days but they are back now. Aren't IUDs usually inserted during your period? If so, might it not just be time for your next period? If not, the pamphlet I...

Just browsing and coming across useful articles! http://folsomobgyn.com/breast_milk_storage.htm

I hope someone can answer a few basic questions. We will be adopting an infant soon and I would like to breastfeed. I have seen a few references that this can be done but no specific information. Can anyone please direct me. My doctor just shakes his head and gave me a one page flyer from La Leche...

My baby is now 9 days old, and I am desperate to get her to latch consistently, properly, and without a huge struggle. She was 6 lbs 5.5 oz at birth, dipped to 5 15, and seems to be getting back as she is now 6 1. I've had lactation consultants, public health nurses, doctors, and other moms offer...

DS appears to be over his milk allergy - fingers crossed! We have gradually over the last months introduced it into his diet and no rashes - hurrah! I'm going to get him weighed on Monday as a) it's his birthday and I so want to see how much he has grown in the last year (well who wouldn't) and b)...

excuse the top post and follow on to my own post, but I've just been reading kellymom and feel a lot better, but would still welcome your comments, especially with regards to my continued weight loss impacting her weight gain. cheers, Leah "azure" wrote in...

Hi all, I've been lurking here for quite some time, and now that my DD has made her arrival into this world I have a few questions. First off a little background. My DS was born 1-21-97, and I was only able to breastfeed him for 6 weeks because my dr was insistent at me going on the pill right...

Just wanna pat myself on the back... I had 2 great NIP experiences this weekend! And DS is calming down while NIP -- *YAY*!!! The first was last night. We went to have a pizza at Bertucci's, and towards the end of the meal, DS started acting hungry even though I fed him before we left. We were...

....for older siblings! It's called "Hello Baby" by Lizzy Rockwell. It's a little advanced for Laszlo (who is only 18+ months old) but I think he'll get some of it. My favorite thing is that there are NO bottles in the book. Here's the passage about feeding the baby, it's right next to a...

1-) My son is two months old and last night my mother fed him half a mashed up banana mixed up with some milk. I said no to her - but she went on about how many children she has raised and that she did it to us when we where just 1 month old. This is worrying me as I think my son will get an upset...

Some of you know about the struggles I've faced this time around (to be differentiated from the struggles I faced the other times!): blood blisters on both nipples by day one, scabbing to both nipples by day three, plugged duct turned mastitis by day four, recurrent plugged duct in same...
