in posting this. I have to be quick though. She was born on 9/20 and weighed 7lbs and 14oz. She is adorable; she looks a lot like her brother did when he was a baby. She nursed successfully after delivery. And has been a champ in that department since. We had a couple of rocky minutes after she had...

I have a Danish friend staying in Houston. She needs fenugreek - to treat a urinal infection. Where do you buy fenugreek in the USA?? Tine, Ditmar

Well, it's done. I have officially left the ranks of breastfeeding moms: I haven't nursed my youngest son (3y11m) since last Sunday morning. It wasn't exactly a mutual decision--he asked me for "side sides" several times a day for almost all of last week--but I think he's finally come around. I...

Is there anyway to encourage ovulation while breastfeeding? DS is 15 months old. We haven't followed the rules of LAM since he was a few weeks old, yet my period hasn't returned. I am down to breastfeeding only once or twice in the evening, and then at night. There is usually at least a 12-14...

My dd is 8 weeks now. We had a slow start (which mirrored the troubles I had with my first dd), but with the help of fenugreek and domperidone we have made it this far. I also still eat oatmeal 2x a day. I also took blessed thistle inititially, but cut it out with no ill effects to my milk...

For the past month my DD has been stretching out her day feedings. Along with this she has been waking and feeding more at night. She has been waking every 2 to 3 hours. At some point I know that she will start sleeping through the night again, but I was wondering if part of the problem is that...

maybe it's just me, but my milk flows much faster than the bottle, especially with a let down. it seems like I am trying to drown my DD sometimes. she gets very frustrated id she has to suck more than once or twice instead of just swallowing. She's 7 weeks old. I'm hoping this will taper off...

Has anyone out there initially had a lot of trouble letting down for a pump and later learned to do it? (Or should I resign myself to never being able to?) Any tips? I tried an Avent Isis, then bought an Ameda Lactina (= Purely Yours; it's known as Lactina outside the US it seems) in the hope that...

"hobbes" wrote in message ... I have no idea if anyone has seen the other two posts I read about my 9.5 month old's nursing strike. I feel a bit upset that no one answered either of my posts . . . but maybe something's happening that...

My daughter turned one on Friday, and we are still nursing up a storm! misc.kids.breastfeeding is where I first realised what an important thing breastfeeding is, that it can be hard, and that I might need to persevere. While we've had a pretty uneventful year, and I have mostly been lurking, but...

I recently started using cloth diapers on my son who is now 6 months old. The first time I used them his runny breastmilk poop got all over his dipaer cover. Any advise on how I can prevent that so I don't need to change the diaper cover every time he poops (which is almost everytime he eats and...

Madeline is now 2 months old...how time flies! She weighed in at a nicely average 11lbs, but is a lanky 24 inches long (95 %ile)! Anyone have advice about car seats? At this rate she will outgrow the infant seat by height well before she meets the weight requirement of the toddler seat I had...

OK, Madeline's hair is now long enough to be getting in her eyes, but not long enough to really stay back when brushed. She's only 8 months, but had a few inches of hair when she was born. I bought some "baby" size barrettes, and then realized that she could choke on them if they came out....

Im hoping some one here can help me. My baby is 13 weeks old and has only been breastfeed. I work full time, I can not scale back my hours and I can not get to my baby at all during the day to nurse. She is now drinking 22OZ of EBM per day and there is no way I can pump that much. I have taken...

Everything I've read says it's normal to leak in the last month of pregnancy, but how normal is it *not* to leak? Did you leak? and if not, any association with when/how well your milk came in? I leaked ~week 22-25, but nothing since then (now at 38w)
