Second bout of mastitis -- what can I do about this? by
Carlye
DS will be five weeks old on Friday. I had one bout of mastitis,
beginning when he was 9 days old. I had a second bout (different
breast) beginning this past Saturday, when he was 29 days old.
First, since it's a different breast this time, am I safe to assume
this is an entirely different...

worried about the future by
Anne Rogers
Before ds was born I intended to nurse him through the first year, it
hadn't occured to me that longer might be good. Now I'm better educated,
it's best for him to carry on longer and I intend to let him self wean.
The problem is my mum and my friends, they all think I am nuts, they
already think I...

Planning to formula feed by
Lauren
Just interested in opinions here on the point of planning to formula feed
even before a baby is born (or perhaps even conceived).
Unplanned pregnancies and exceptional circumstances aside, I can't help but
wonder that if it is too much trouble for a parent to even plan to attempt
to breastfeed (or...

Book Recommendation by

I'm only 50 pages in, but I have to recommend "What No One Tells the

OT - Potty training - can it be child-led? (xpost) by
Cathy Weeks
Hi all,
My daughter is almost two, and all of a sudden has started asking to
sit on the potty. She prefers to do it fully clothed, and while one
of her parents are sitting on the toilet, but I figured it was time to
start reading up on the topic.
My guess is that she's still a bit young for this...

Hi all,
When my mom went to dental school (I was nine when she started, 13
when she finished), she bought me a dollhouse kit to work on, because
I was nine years old, and it was going to be our first summer apart.
This was the summer of 1978, and the kit cost around $75.
At nine, I really wasn't...

What does breastfeeding advocacy mean to you? by
Mum of Two
There is a lot of debate raging on parenting bulletin boards about
breastfeeding advocacy, how it should be done, why it's necessary, if it's
necessary etc. It seems like a lot of people are offended by BF advocacy
itself - or what they perceive it to be - and as such there is a bit of a
backlash...

1st Newborn Doc Appointment by
Carol Ann
Morgan had her first doctor's appointment today.
Here's the breakdown:
~The hospital miscalculated her length. Today she was 20.5" so that means
that she was NOT 19" at birth. Seems she is in the upper percentile for
height. YIPPEE!!
~She is 7.9 oz. That is up 1 oz from her birthweight.
