Many articles state that during the first six months of the postpartum period, if you continue to breastfeed regularly and exclusively and your periods do not return, breastfeeding is between 98% and 99% effective as a contraceptive. However, my ob/gyn told me that "breastfeeding is not reliable...

i'm reading an australian parenting magazine (practical parenting) and looking at the competition pages. in one competition there are 2 big pics of neslac toddler formula from nestle. the heading is titled "neslac". but the competition says "your toddler depends on you for all of her nutritional...

duloxetine, it's and SNRI, but has good pain relieving proporties, so I'm suppose to be switching over to it away from Zoloft, but the BNF says it is a contraindication, not just a caution like everything else. Anne

Ever since his last feeding binge at 4 months, Moo boy has turned into a wee bag. He goes to bed at around 8, and I changed him at midnight, 4, 6 and 7.30. I am using 2 thick prefolds. If I use more nappy he can hardly move, less and he wets his clothes. Dispoasables make no difference. The...

My breast is covered in red streaks, it's warmer than the other breast, sore as hell, and it hurts to the point of tears when I nurse. :*( What should I do? -- Lina Alena born July 1st, 2003 www.maternalinstinctscanada.com validate the email address before sending.

Baby Harry had a great suck his first few hours, but then was so sleepy we got a bit sidetracked. His latch was poor, I got very sore, he ended up getting quite dehydrated, so we supplemented for a few days until my milk came in. About day 4, we cut out the formula except for when my nipples hurt...

....Just wondering... DD2 is 5 weeks. So far, weight gain has been great, she does seem to be eating enough, but lately, maybe the last week or so, I've noticed that she's doing the same thing as DD1 did... She'll eat, and then it's almost like she gets angry and frustrated. She'll try to suck...

These really aren't so much serious questions...just wondering if other babies do the same things DD (4.5 months) does while nursing... Most of the time when DD latches on, her eyes actually roll back in her head (in pleasure, I hope)...her eyes rarely close all the way when she nurses and all I...

Hi all I am presently taking DPD because I am BFAR. I went to ihealthnz.com to reorder, and can't find it anywhere on the site. Does anyone know where to order this (I am in US, so it isn't available to me here for lactation, anyway)? Thanks in advance Karen

ok, so it's supposed to be good for boosting supply, I didn't realise how good, I've been troubled by severe nausea this week, my doctor prescribed domperidone, I haven't taken anywhere near the full dose and I'm engorged now, not something I've felt for many months (my nursling is 13...

Hi all, I'm about to start taking domperidone as prescribed by my doctor. I've read about the possible side effects (GI trouble, stomach aches, headaches, etc), now I'm interested to know what actual users experienced -- what better place to ask than mkb? So, any dom users out there, what side...

My dd is 8 weeks now. We had a slow start (which mirrored the troubles I had with my first dd), but with the help of fenugreek and domperidone we have made it this far. I also still eat oatmeal 2x a day. I also took blessed thistle inititially, but cut it out with no ill effects to my milk...

Hi I hope this doesn't sound weird.... It didn't, in my head, til I went to write this post! At 6 months pg, I seem to have so much milk, that I am having to express lots. I heard, years ago, about people donating breast milk to special care babies, and think my auntie may have done it too. It...
