Annoying eating habits by
Akuvikate
My sweet wonderful 6 week old DD has picked up a few annoying eating
habits. I'm posting in hopes of getting some insight into either why
she does this, what to do about it, or both.
1. Towards the end of a feed, sometimes she'll start contorting and
twisting her whole body around while keeping...

Bottle mention in folksong by
Akuvikate
In O Brother Where Art Thou there's a wonderful lullaby (track 10 on
the soundtrack, called "Didn't Leave Nobody but the Baby") that I like
to sing to the Bug. After the CD had been missing for a while I just
found it and was able to listen to all the lyrics. There's one verse
that says "Honey in...

AFand sore nipples by
al
AF returned last month and was accompanied by very sore nipples. It was
almost as bad as nursing a newborn (pain wise...but there was no
rawness). Poor little guy wasn't happy with the decreased output, which
didn't help. It just made him want to nurse more frequently. And from
the return of...

18mo wants me to nurse her bears! by
Al Bell
My 18-month-old daughter, who nurses on demand when she's not in daycare,
now wants me to nurse her toy bears and put shoes on them.
I couldn't find any references to this type of thing in the baby books and
was wondering if other toddler parents out there are experiencing this
sort of thing.

nursing and ergo carrier? by
Al Bell
Nursing and Ergo Carrier:
When my daughter passed 20 pounds, I had a hard time fanning the shoulder
of the Maya Wrap, so I got an Ergo baby carrier, which is sort of like a
Baby Born with a waist band.
The Ergo is great, but it's really hard to breastfeed in it. I have to
hold my breast up almost...

Sore breasts by

I'm 15 weeks pg, and it honestly feels like my breasts are on fire. They are
so hot, so sore, so *heavy*, and anything - even air - irritates them. The

make me scream. They've been sore for over a month now, and I kept...
