Friend of mine and her bf are splitting up.... he wants custody. Baby is 8 months and bf... He wants "equal time" before the hearing... and said, "If she wants the baby breastfed, she should pump and send milk along. I was weaned at 3 months and I'm fine." beats head against any hard...

Did anyone else catch this lovely tidbit in their Sunday paper? http://tinyurl.com/2m3gt I'll skip right past the "how bad co-sleeping is" bit and just wonder why in damnation "Consider breastfeeding" is #4. Sigh. Then there was the good laugh provided by #13 - finally a good reason to quit...

I'm posting here instead of the babywearer.com forum b/c I remember to read this group and that's about it. :) I have made several ring slings, wraps and a Mei Tai. I also have two structure soft carriers (infantino and one with Pooh on it). I tried all of these yesterday trying to get my 5month...

My husband and I are thrilled to introduce "GREEN BABY" as the healthy alternative to "Baby Einstein". You can view the trailer at: http://www.GreenBaby.ca We don't watch much TV and wanted to make something healthy for our daughter to enjoy. This DVD features babies playing in nature while...

well the Moo has 2 little white teeth poking through his bottom gum, they are not all out yet but its imminent! I thought it would be wise to ask for tips in case he turns out to be a biter. He's been doing this pull off thing for the last week or so and he gets 3 chances to settle before the boob...

Don't be upset by your symptoms each pregnancy can be so different. DD#1 intense breast pain and sellimg, nighttime sickness, Mexican & Chinese food cravings, DD#2 Moderate breast pain and swelling, citrus and potato craving, no vomiting at all.(Initially low HCG levels and some spotting, she is...

http://www.brianpalmerdds.com/frenum.htm Went a-googling after I noticed DS's upper lip frenum (under top lip at centre front) looks thick and long, just like in the pics in the presentation, (In fact I wondered at first if he'd sucked the inside of his upper lip between his front teeth) and I'm...

You'd think I'd know this one but it has been quite a long time since I've cloth diapered a babe. So my question to all you cloth diapering mommies out there is...just how many do I need to buy?! I'll probably do prefolds since I didn't like the fitted ones. Oh, and how many covers per...

Well, only one item on the buffet line. DD is 5 months now, still co-sleeping. We like it for the most part. I'd planned to transition her whenever she cut back to 1-2 nursings per night. She's reverse cycling so still eating a lot at night, but it had settled down. In the last few weeks, however,...

At the Thanksgiving dinner table with everyone there yesterday, my BIL says to me, "So now that you're home all the time, what are you doing? Watching soap operas?" Me: "No, I've never watched a soap opera and highly doubt I ever will" (no offense to those that do) BIL: "Oh, are you doing any...

Hi All, I just gave birth to my son on Sunday and I while I've lurked in this group for a long time, I guess I'd like some encouragement now that I'm actually in the thick of learning to bf a newborn. My milk came in with a vengance today. We are still learning to nurse properly, and while...

Our pediatrician has told us to give our baby a Vitamin D supplement but that goes against the grain when you're breastfeeding exclusively. We want to avoid anything 'artificial' in the first 6 months. Now, we're wondering how much sun exposure is required to produce Vitamin D whilst still being...

Anyone know whether taking GSE capsules would alter the flavor of the bm? I tried some of the drops in water the other day and it was some majorly *nasty,* bitter-tasting stuff. So I will *not* be doing the GSE that way. But my concern is whether it would make the bm tast off? Wouldn't want...
