We spent Xmas at my folks who have cable so I got to watch the Baby Whisperer. The first program was about a toddler who wanted to BF all teh time and hated shopping. The Baby Whisperer got the baby weaned off completely in one night - the mum was in pain and she recommended dairy as a...

How are things going for you and your family now? Were you able to get your car back? Hopefully, things are better. (((hugs)) -- Sue (mom to three girls) I'm Just a Raggedy Ann in a Barbie Doll World...

I don't think I bargained for this disgusting poop when I started Pillbug on solids, did I??? Who'da thunk a teeny bit of banana and pear here and there would have such an effect? Beginning weeks, I thought his poop smelled like buttermilk. Then, they started smelling like dried breastmilk, but...

I went to a check at the breast clinic today, there is some damaged tissue in my right breast, but nothing else to worry about, hopefully as the tissue heals the recurrent plugged ducts will go away too. ----------- Anne Rogers

Hi, I've been reading this group for a while, and I have a question I'm sure someone out there can answer. DS will be 5 months old on the 1st of January. I stay-at-home and don't have much reason (so far) to give a bottle. At some point I would like to go to the movies, shop, etc without DS...

I know this has been discussed on here a few times, but it's my turn to whine now. :( DS's nighttime sleeping habits have regressed to about where he was at 5 weeks - maybe even worse than that. He had been sleeping through the night, every night. He's 4 1/2 months right now. Around the 4 month...

Please send them to our house, so they can convince Caterpillar of the wisdom of eating real food (as opposed to paper and packing peanuts), and the folly of perpetual motion. If any of you would like your babies convinced that they don't need to eat quite so much and might like to move a bit...

The Moo boy lies on his back and grabs a toy, he then balances the toy on his face, puts his arms out to the sides and squeals in delight. He's been doing it for a couple of weeks now, and personally I'd rather he didn't suffocate himself but he is very supervised! Do you think he's playing...

X-posted to mkp and mkb I wrote a couple of weeks ago to say that my body was out of whack post D&C as "AF" was only a tiny little bit of brown spotting ... well it turned out to be implantation spotting. I got a +ve hpt last Thursday (5.5 weeks after a D&C at 9w1d), but wasn't sure if I could...

I did tell myself not to respond to you anymore as you told me to FO. However when I told my (more charitable) bloke about it all he suggested that you might be suffering from a bit of post natal depression. I was upset by your reply to my post becuase here I am trying to do my best and you made...

I've been reading it (DD is still having sleeping problems) and he seems to make sense, but many of you have read more and have more experience than I do. What I've liked about him so far is that he offers multiple solutions based on one's ability/desire to let the child cry. He also doesn't...

Hey all, a midwife friend brought her scale over and Meg is 13 pounds, 12 ounces in street clothes today, at eight weeks exactly! She's sticking on that 95% line on the growth chart. It was nice because I won't go for another WBV for another month, and even then am considering skipping it so we...

Hi all Have been googling, but can't find a definitive answer, so decided to consult the oracle (aka misc.kids.breastfeeding!). I have fenugreek capsules at 610mg and alfalfa tablets at 500mg. Is it best to start with one and see how that goes, or do they complement each others' action? How...

Christopher still wakes up at night, a few times in fact, and I end up sleeping with him half the night. He loves it, I like to snuggle, no big deal. Though I certainly would love it if he slept through. I know he's waking out of habit, but I just don't have the energy to fix it right now. So, I...

after exactly 3 weeks my period has returned...is this an indicator that I'm not producing enough milk? Thanks, Lisa

I woke up on christmas morning with what initially felt like a plugged duct for the 4th time in an fortnight, no standard treatment worked and I was already on antibiotics, it was so sore in the end I rang the on call doctor thinking I might need different antibiotics. I saw him and he sent me...

for at least 24 hours, or while I have fever. Symptoms started yesterday morning, including fever. I saw the doctor this morning. My reasoning says that she (dd, 10 1/2 months) has already been exposed and she *needs* the antibodies from me. He (dr) says I'm not making antibodies yet. I think...
