Not sure why... I lost it the evening before last when N basically threw the bowl of vegetables out of the microwave all over the kitchen... It was, of course, an accident. He didn't know that there was that much water in it (was cooking frozen vegetables in water in the mic) and when he went...

But only for tonight :D I picked up a small manual breast pump earlier today and thought I'd give it a shot. It was a decent price, and I can return it with exceptions within 90 days... I sat here pumping just now for what seems like forever. It was probably a good half an hour. Between...

We had an appointment for both the girls (DD1: 22 months, DD2: 7 months) today at 1. I had to drag DS along as well, and it went, surprisingly, pretty good this time. Doc checked DD1 out. She's about 32" tall and about 25lbs (IIRC, I can't remember exact numbers) she's doing pretty good. ...

Ok, DD2 is now almost 7 months. Wow, time sure does seem to fly. She's still nursing strong. Still refuses a bottle, seems dumb towards a sippy cup. Gave up on trying for the bottle of EBM long ago, decided a sippy cup of some sort at this point in time isn't too important, so I haven't...

Just wondering. DD2 is now 6 months old. Still nursing strong, still strongly refusing EBM (given up on that a long while back) and still not really interested in any food, other than a boob. We have given her a bit of the rice cereal, but it's not a regular thing, and it's only at night if I find...

Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts or opinions about this... DD2, 4 days short of 6 months, is exclusively breastfed, still, and still going strong. Her diet consists of breast milk and then more breast milk. We have slowly been trying, the last week or so, to introduce some rice cereal,...

Don't know where to go (other than the doc, obviously) to find a possible answer to this question. DD2 is 5 months old now. Everything's been fine. She's nursing only, I'm taking that micronor (sp? - mini-pill) and haven't had an actual period since she was born. My bleeding stopped within a...

Looking for some ideas, so if you have any, do let me know... My cousin's wife is expecting some time soon. I actually have no idea, and I really kind of don't care. I don't care much for this cousin (or his parents and brother, but I would pick this particular cousin, minus his wife, if I had...

Just wondering if this is normal... DD2 is now just over 3 months. She's still nursing just fine, starting to sleep a lot longer at night and stays for longer stretches during the day between feedings. She's nursed almost always, but every so often I will offer a bottle of EBM. At the beginning...

I've been pumping and storing since almost the beginning after DD2 was born. She's 3 months old tomorrow (wow!) She's had bottles of EBM every now and then, and when I first started pumping and storing, I bought the stupidly expensive bags that are zipper-sealed, intended for storing...

For me, I thought this wasn't good advice at all. I wanted to know what others thought! Last night, around 1am, off I go to the 24h pharmacy, taking DD2 with me. She's 12 weeks now, and for the last week or so, she's been quite difficult, to say the least, come evening. Around 9pm or so...

After the little discussion about baby wraps and all that, I went out and picked up this nasty pink material. I figured it was stretchy and I thought it 'rolled' when stretched. Turned out that it did fray and not 'roll' and it also really wasn't as stretchy as I had thought. It kind of...

Alright, if this is TMI, I apologize first! For the last little while, I've noticed I do have the first stages of milk already. I'm checking how far along I am because I can't remember lol... I'm 35 weeks today. (Here's probably the TMI part) I have been able to squeeze small amounts of clear...

My apologies... :D I liked it, anyways, and it seems to be only kind of off topic ;) --- A not necessarily well-prepared student sat in his life science classroom, staring at a question on the final exam paper. The question directed: "Give four advantages of breast milk." What to write? He...

I often find I follow the topics about cloth diapers... *I* use cloth diapers for DD, but DH won't because he just can't seem to be able to pin them and all that... He is also not a fan of rinsing diapers, so when he's with DD, he opts for the disposables, and when we go out, I put DD...

Alright, DD is just about 6 months old now. She's currently on baby food (she's had stuff like peas, carrots, green beans, squash, wax beans, applesauce, bananas, etc) I give her some pablum in the morning - sometimes with a bit of bananas or whatever mixed in, but not always, some veggies...

I'm wondering if anyone out there has or does or would feel similar to what I'm feeling lately... I was a bf baby, so were both of my younger brothers. I have always had great, great support from my mother as far as nursing goes... I breastfed DS exclusively until he was about 10 months old, then...

It's been a while... We've been extremely busy, it seems, since school's been out! I left N at home (he had to work anyways) and took the kids out of province to the lake with my mom the first week of July, and now we're (well, I am, anyways) packing to go camping again this afternoon. DS has...

That's some reach! http://www.funnypics4all.com/pics/1/0/1032_8.html
