Zach is 14 mos and we're down to only nursing morning and night now. :-( I feel like I'm barely lactating now, even though I know I still am, and that it's just in my head. My question is will my body know to still make milk for the morning and night feeding even though it is not nursing all day...

What could cause these--(only on one nipple)? I assume I need to keep on feeding from that breast which is what I'm doing. I noticed a lot of pain while feeding earlier this evening but did not think much about it because I have pain at a certain time each month. I looked at the nipple later...

wrote in message ... DS is now 15 days old and I'm suspecting that he might have a dairy sensitivity. I first suspected it because he spits up a lot. He rarely makes it through a nursing session without spitting up while at the breast. We...

I had been browsing on eBay and noticed that someone had something for sale that included an adapter for the Playtex bottles from a pump. the only way to purchase one is in a whole kit. well, I didn't need any of that other stuff, so I called Playtex to find out how I could purchase them without...

I went out today planning to meet up with some friends in the park, somehow I managed not to miss them and did some shopping instead, I had thought that I would nurse in the park, then shop, come home and be back in time for another feed. However due to mu change plans ds started to get hungry when...

"Cathy" wrote To my question - is it possible to manually unblock a plugged duct? I have never been able to myself, but I have caught this one very early - usually the breast is hard and very tender when I notice them. I guess I know what to look out for now. With my...

Sorry if this is really off base, but I have a stinking headache and my mind has been working in mysterious ways! Your DD is only 20 days old, right? I was wondering if perhaps you put an older baby with a more efficient suck to your affected breast, if that might help clear the plugged...

Hello-- I've posted here a couple of times in the past and have been a frequent reader...this is a great group! Dh and I are expecting our first baby in September and I will be breastfeeding. I have a few questions... This first one is a bit sensitive and I hope it doesn't offend anyone. I was...

DD (7 3/4 months) is sort of on a nursing strike. She is refusing a lot of feeds, but had a quick one just before (she must have been starving!), and had one at night when she woke up. Kellymom.com had some great info (phew - nice to know it is relatively common). DD will take water, and I...

Hi, Dd is 4 1/2 months and I started feeding her solids a few days ago. I didn't plan on starting until she was 6 months old but she suddenly started crying at the dinner table and all I could put it down to was that she wanted some food too. She began aiming towards the food with her hands from...

I remember feeling *exactly* the same way, except I couldn't really go anywhere because DS screamed all the time. A mother and baby group, where everyone understands exactly what you're going through was the perfect socialization for me. If DS screamed all I got were sympathetic murmerings,...

Well, Jessi is 3 months 9 days old now, and I think we made it past her 3 month growth spurt now. This one was only 3 days long and she was on the breast more frequently, but not constantly. This was such a breeze compared to the 6 week growth spurt which was velcro baby for 9 days. I am still...

Owen is nine weeks old today. He's been ramping up his night-time sleep since he was born, going from six to seven hours the last few days and last night slept eight and a half hours! Yay me, right? Well since sister is still waking up one to three times per night a lot of the time I...

At my TAFE college, we teach both catering and child studies, and so we have a small selection of books on feeding babies and toddlers. I was weeding in that area, and most of these books are officially out of date: they recommend the introduction of solids at 4-6 months. Last month, the new...

Hi... Just wondering if anyone on this group lives on Long Island in New York? If so do you know of a pediatrician that is very BF supportive? I just got back from a 2 month WBV and the DR was asking me about feeding and all. When i said she is exclusively BF and he was saying that if you want to...

.....shhh, don't tell anyone! I wanted to pump after feeding and realised the pump needed washing, no probs, I carefully balanced ds on the worksurface, holding him securely with my left arm, but leaving my hand free, ran the water, washed all the easy stuff, plates, glasses, cutlery etc and the...
