We want to go on a three day trip during which we'll be mostly outside. Any tips on how to maintain supply? I can pump before we hit the road around 8am and as soon as we come back around 6pm every day. I can pump couple of times at night. Right now I don't pump at nights. So does the night pumping...

and it's at 100.8 16 months old, nursing fine, no real interest in solids this morning (that's unusual though we usually share eggs and he didn't want more than a bite) Not interested in juice or water either. He isn't throwing up, no diarrhea, not crabby, actually seems pretty calm this morning,...

Well, DS is 4 weeks old now so we're going to start introducing a bottle tonight. I'll be returning to work in 8 weeks. I fed him this morning on one side (his usual routine) until he decided he was finished and went back to sleep. Then, I went and pumped for 20 minutes with my Pump in Style. I got...

Hi Everyone: I've been reading the sundry threads on BF children who go a week without passing a stool, but I think we have a record here :) My month old son just finished going 19 days, that's right NINETEEN DAYS without passing a stool. When he went the other day he filled 3 diapers!!! Having...

Hi there, I'm hoping that my delurk will enable someone heere with a similar experience to advise us. My wife is currently bfing our 3 day old son, but we are a little worried about a couple of things. Firstly, after a very short while, he seems to click his tongue continuously and lose the...

All4meUC wibbled Hi there. My son is one month old and I really feel like we've got the hang of breastfeeding. I have started giving my son a bottle of expressed milk in order to prepare for when I return to school. So far he seems to have no problem with nipple confusion. He even takes...

I have noticed in the last 2 days that I have a small dark red/purple lump on my nipple, and it really hurts when Izabella feeds from there. I did not really notice it until 2 days ago I had thought it was hurting because she was not latched right, but she has been and I just looked at it and...

This is just idle curiosity, but the "older baby won't take a bottle, maybe a sippy cup would work" thread got me thinking. Is there any benefit to transitioning from the occasional bottle to a sippy cup earlier than normal? (I've actually got no idea what's normal, but I'd guess it's around a...

I think she's making a joke that you "must" tote your little one around in the carseat, just like everyone else. Personally, being short and heavy, toting that damn bucket around was just not reasonable or comfortable for me. We (both dh and I) got quite adept at transferring a sleeping infant from...

If your ped talks as if the decision to bf or not is not a big deal, do you think he's not well informed and try to forgive his bad judgement? or do you think it affects his judgement in other treatment options also? Thanks.

As I have BF my other two children I fully intend to BF #3 when the time comes. I do have a few questions though... I've had my right nipple pierced for the past two years and I am curious if any of you have BF while pierced? Did you leave the jewelry in or remove it with every feed? Or did you...

Hi All, Today I have got a call from HV saying that since my baby (four weeks old) is on the breast feeding all the time and I am a very strict vegetarian, I might need supplements for Vitamine B. Now I am getting worried that I need to put my baby under the bottle fed for which he may get used to...
