After much consideration, I've decided now's the right time to stop breastfeeding. Little Steven is now 7 mos, he has been taking formula as much or more than my milk, and often drinks my milk from a bottle anyway. Also have a fair amount of my milk stored frozen. So, I'm not worried so much...

Hello all, De-lurking again, as I'm wont to do now & then for a question: DS has had very slightly green-tinged poops intermittently for the last 10 days or so, and I've been trying to make sure to feed from one breast per session to prevent foremilk/hindmilk imbalance. In the last 3 days...

A few years ago the group put together a list of breastfeeding myths. I have them but they're in bad shape. Would anyone object if I posted them to the group in attachment format? ~Shell

Can someone explain to me what breasts feel like

I was recently talking to an acquaintance in my Moms Club. She has a 3 month old baby and started talking about how she thought she was going to stop bf soon because she thinks he's about to get teeth, and he's only nursing twice a day now anyway. But then a bit later in the conversations she...

I recently got a haircut, and much of the hair I have left is post-partum (what? I say I can use it like this, so pffft). It seems to me that my hair has turned coarser since I gave birth. Has anyone else experienced this? -- Sara, whose life is an on-going quest for the right shampoo

My DD is better now after almost a week of vomiting, diarrea and then ear and bladder infections. It was no fun. She is now incredibly clingly and whiny, and throws tantrums or cries at the drop of a hat. I do hope this is just because she doesn't feel good and it's not the terrible two's. It's...

If it's uncomfortable for her, dont do it, I know, I know... Our daughter is 1 month old, and because she 'needs' it, my wife breast-feeds, but has confided in me that if it didn't need be done, she'd rather stop. My question: Can I afford a wet nurse? I'd rather she never stopped, but I'm not in...

Just a quick note to say that I am very thankful for all the support I had from all of you during the first few months. We have passed the 1 year mark last Wednesday and we are still going strong :)))))))) Hugs to all, FayeC and DD Deirdre (Feb 18, 2003)

From an online newsletter. Yes, it is finally here! A sneak peek.... http://www.cameo-intimates.com/teaser.jpg It doesn't take a great deal of imagination to figure out that THIS bra has as much in it for HIM as it does for her. Add to it some terrific new fabrics, great support and...

Well I just wanted to share my happiness with somebody because not many ppl irl seems to think this is an "accomplishment", and you are the only people I know (aside from two irl friends) that will pat me on the back! My DD just turned 2 and we are still nursing strong. And thank goodness because...

Hello everyone. A toddler who nurses too much? Many of you may say, "impossible!", but read on....I have a 21 month old boy who nurses 25-40+ times a day or more. When I have told this to some of my friends, including those who are long term associated with LLL--even their reactions include...

Im not exactly what the "norm" is but I thought I'd ask from other experienced mom's on here. My son was 8lb 5oz at birth, 10lb 15oz at 2 weeks, 12lb 12oz at 2 mos. All good gains. At his 4mo checkup, he was 14lbs even. Is that a normal gain between mos 2-4? Only a hair over a lb? He is still...
