I am not an allergic person so I am not too familiar with this area. My 5 week old DD has been sort of sick on 2 seperate occasions when I had eaten eggs for breakfast. I don't know if I had eggs other days where she didn't react but that's the one food that I know I had both times so I am...

Gwendolyn got off to a fine nursing start, but her latch technique was imperfect. I mean, I knew it hurt, and I could see by the next day that she was making a red ridge of broken blood vessels across my nipple, and yes, I knew how to fix that - get a deeper latch. But then my milk came in, and oh...

Hi all, I am still having problems, 2 1/2 weeks on from a plugged duct. I thought things were finally getting back on track over the weekend, but now I find I have a very tender nipple again. There is a white spot about 1 mm x 1 mm just to one side of the nipple. Nursing is a bit painful, and...

Hi, Before I buy a highchair for dd I would love to get some advice from everyone here... Which highchair do you have? Where did you get it from? What do you like about it? What don't you like about it? Would you recommend it to a friend?

Rather than take up space with individual replies, I just wanted to thank everyone for your information and experiences, and the links on how to use the various feeding methods. It was all very helpful. Here is what I've tentatively put for that bullet point in my birth plan: · If any...

Gwendolyn (1 week on Tuesday) has fairly normal yellow, curdled-looking poops. But watery too - I'd almost call them diarrhea, because of the wateryness (which may be seen as a circle soaked into the diaper around the 'curds'.). And invariably when we change her diaper, she poops *more*, sometimes...

Alena won't stop nursing. I'm getting about 15 minutes between each session. Should I be worried that I don't have enough milk? Or is everything normal and she'll be just fine after a little while. -- Lina Alena born July 1st, 2003 www.maternalinstinctscanada.com

I got this insect bite on the back of my knee and it is very swollen. I have been using calamine lotion to keep the itchiness down but it is not helping much and I don't know what allergy medicine I can take that won't affect my bm or supply. Any tips will be appreciated. FayeC

Okay, does anyone know where there is a closer-to-definitive list on what nuts to avoid while bf, if you are avoiding? I've found a wonderful dark chocolate, but it has nutmeg in it. The discussion tonight got around to if nutmeg was a tree nut... Meself

Breastfeeding has not been the get thin magic I expected. I am as fat as a hippo and hungry all the time. I feel like nothing ever fills me up, and I am going for stuff like pasta and potatos that used to do the trick. Moo is still feeding all the time but I have adjsuted my attitude and just...

Hello, I have been recommended to try this group incase anyone can help me. My name is Roxy and I have a four month old daughter called Poppy. She was born with a severe tongue tie and was completely unable to latch on until it was completely released at five weeks (it took two goes - that's a...

Last night DD has a bright green poop and it was mostly curdles. What could be causing this? She is usually yellow to mustard colored with a few curdles. Our company brought over these totally awesome oatmeal butterscotch cookies and I admit being addicted to them, could this have...

Thanks very much! After posting this, I spoke with the radiologist and despite it being okayed by the AAP and despite Motherrisk stating it's safe, she won't do the MRI until I've weaned the wee one. Just as well, me thinks :) Thanks for your trouble!

For reasons too complicated to go into, there are 3 drippy-nosed, coughing kids living in our house. My sore throat (probably from postnasal drip) set in last night. Caterpillar (10 weeks this coming Saturday) is normally a "one side every 2 hours" nurser during the day, and nurses once in the...
