My 10.5 month old starts every night sleeping in the crib. She wakes up after an hour or so and wails until I come and pick her up, place her in the bed next to me and both of us doze off. Since I'm newly pregnant, I'm feeling sleepy by 8pm. This is working out fine (for now!). DD is not a happy...

Yesterday DS, 10.5 months, took his first two unsupported steps! :) He was leaning against a piece of furniture, let go, and took a couple of steps to get to the sofa, where he resumed holding on. (This was according to DH's report--DS waited until I was in the shower to do this.) Anyway, just...

Hello All, I have recently come to the end of my rope regarding a situation my baby and I have developed. My baby is 5 months old, very healthy, and I do as much as I can towards keeping our relationship natural and personal. However, I've had enough of being a human pacifier. I love my baby...

Hello everybody! I am at my wits end once again. The past two nights I slept only about 1.5 hours..... My son (20 days) has become a nightowl. He used to be real good. I swaddled him, he'd wake up around 2.30 or 3.00 a.m., after having had his last feeding between 11.00 p.m. and 0.30 a.m. (I nurse...

So, I've managed to nurse two children including through pregnancy and tandem nursing and I've never quite made it to an LLL meeting. I see on their website that they have an annual membership fee. At what point do they request that you obtain memebership? Thanks, -- Rhiannon Mom to M. Girl (28...

Hi everyone and a Happy New Year! I celebrated last night with a few too many, and I was wondering how long the alcohol will stay in my breastmilk. I gave my DD a bottle last night but put her on the breast this morning. DH wants me to pump and dump for 3 days but I think this is too...

The group I go to is trying to think of some ideas for bf posters for National Breastfeeding week in May. I'd like a poster of LARGE NAKED BREASTS with the strapline 'Not just for selling beer' which I'm sure I nicked off someone in this group... Anyone got any other ideas? ROSIE

Last two nights, DS has fought me with every bit of himself when I tried to sit him down and nurse him before he goes to sleep. He screams and pulls away while punching at my breast. He's never been a happy nurser, but this is more extreme than usual. To get him to nurse and to sleep the last two...

My health visitor told me Kam needs to see a paediatric dietician, as he has eczema no matter what solids he is on. He is clear of it if we stop solids altogether. So took him to the doc for a referral, and he asked what I was feeding him. I told him boiled mushed fruits and veggies, one at a time...

Why is that when I put my baby boy to my breast he draws the milk out almost instantly and when I use my Medela electric Pump in Style it sometimes takes a good ten minutes to get the milk coming out? The sucking seems to be the same intensity. Sometimes when my baby has had enough and there is...

My baby is 8 months old and has not bonded well with her daddy (my husband). When she was 4 months old we went to Canada for 5 weeks. My husband was supposed to join us for a week, but couldn't find his birth certificate and therefore didn't get to go. My little girl, Katherine, was doing fine...

Hi all, I'm looking for a low fat recipe which will help me consume my daily 'dose' of oatmeal, in a portable form. I'm newly back to work full time, and can't count on having hot regular oatmeal for breakfast -- but want to keep my consumption of oatmeal up, to help with supply. I thought maybe a...

OK, so I have been lurking at mkp for a few months and I think I am starting to think about ttc #2. But I am SO scared about it for many reasons: 1) Unwanted weaning of DD - she is VERY attached to the boobies and I know she'll be devastated at the lack of milk that will happen further into my...
