for quite a few months, when we breastfeed lying down at home, when DS finishes, he will get off the bed, turn around & pat the booby once to say "thank you". that's cute, but now (unlike all the other toddlers are trying to rip mum's top off to get to the booby), DS does his thank you pat &...

i'm wondering if those who breastfeed to sleep have had any experience with this? DS is 16 months. he has always been breastfed to sleep and that has always worked great for me. i have not tried any other way to put him to sleep. he is in a big bed in his room & i usually just lay down & feed until...

Two years. We've been going for 2 years. Wow. I knew I'd go for a year, but didn't think beyond that. And he loves his mama milk!! :-) I just got our hospital records (I had a feeling that they might have given P a bottle of formula when I was in recovery, hence his allergies. They didn't),...

Anyone take wheatgrass juice? I have just bought a juicer and grass kit and am keen to get going with this amazing green food, but I just thought I would ask if anyone knows about drinking it while b/f. I am guessing it will be good for dd as well as me, but does anyone have any advice on amounts...

Any Australia Families been to Tresillian Sleep Clinic ? Mike

Hi - I caught the tail end, so all I know is that some ads have been created but may not be aired for as long as a year from now. Did anyone hear the complete article this morning? --Beth Kevles http://web.mit.edu/kevles/www/nomilk.html -- a page for the...

Ok, I've been avoiding peanuts for the last two years so peanut proteins wouldn't show up in my breastmilk (I have had peanuts on very rare occasions, in tiny amounts) and Kivi isn't allowed them until after she's three (she just turned 2). We have a history of severe food allergies (on both...

I quietly snuck out of here last summer and oozed over to m.k.p. DD was persuaded to give up that last bedtime nursing because at 5 month's pregnant it was making me nuts :*) The new little nurseling, Margaret, was born Dec 5 at 9 lbs 6 oz. Boy things are much easier when at least one of the two...

hi everyone, i haven't posted for quite a while! DS is almost 16 months & breastfeeds 4 times a day. over the past couple of months, my right breast (the better producer) has continuously felt full. even after a big feed, it still does. there are no lumps, but it feels as if there is more...

Hello all, Brief intro: I've been lurking here since Jellybean was born on 4/18/03. We had some initial probs with BF, and I found answers to questions I didn't know I had here. What a great group of folks! I am hoping for some answers and reassurance from you all today... Jellybean has had a...

Happy Holidays Everyone ;) *hugs* Jen ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----

I am just curious if this is normal or not. It seems that when I am feeding my baby, I get extremely tired all of a sudden. It happens not every time, but pretty frequently. Has this happenned to anyone else? Rochelle

I just received an e-mail from a friend of mine. She's learned that Gary Ezzo (the Babywise author) has a new book. It is called, "On Becoming BIRTHwise." Now I'll have another book to search for and hide whilst browsing at the bookstore.

Can you ladies please tell me if this is normal. My baby is 4 days old today. My milk came in 2 days ago and Elizabeth nursed about every 2-3 hours yesterday. By the evening my breast were still very very full and painful so I pumped some out. Last night she was up almost all night crying but...

Ok, if it weren't for glassboobs rambling aobut being unable to breastfeeding because hers were so large, this probably wouldn't have occured to me. OK, it probably would have occured to me about an hour after birth, instead of at 25 weeks. I've got really big breasts. My current guess is that...

Happy 1st Birthday to Christine's (little bunny fu-fu) Jennifer! I hope you had a wonderful day! :-) -- Brigitte aa #2145 edd #3 February 15, 2004 http://www.babiesonline.com/babies/j/joshuaandkaterina/ "Readers are plentiful; thinkers are rare."

My friend had a baby girl 3 weeks ago and is exclusively breastfeeding (woo hoo). She called me today because she's had a sore spot "about the size of a quarter" on her breast right to the side of her nipple. She said that it did feel hot when she touched it and that sometimes the entire breast...

Michael Jude will be 4 months old on Monday. He's nursing 70% of the time, 30% Similac thanks to his intensive care stay where he was indoctrinated to formula. Also he never seems satisfied at the breast and minutes after 30 mins. of nursing will carry on and then suck formula down like there is no...

any suggestions for where to buy interesting, simple mobiles -- no lights and music, just interesting designs. thanks!!!

I am presently nursing my third son, having nursed the older two for over two years each. It's been a mystery to me, over the years, why I always eventually become a one-sided nurser, on the left. I am more comfortable nursing on the left, it's true, but this time, in particular, I am...
