All4meUC wibbled Hi there. My son is one month old and I really feel like we've got the hang of breastfeeding. I have started giving my son a bottle of expressed milk in order to prepare for when I return to school. So far he seems to have no problem with nipple confusion. He even takes...

Hi everyone, I firstly want to thank everyone on this group for all of the great advice that is always available at times of need. I have gained so much info off this group by lurking! I now have a problem though, and wondered if anyone had some advice? A very similar problem to Cathy's who has...

DD2 who is 4 months old, has reduced her feeds. She was having 5-6feeds a day and is now usually only having 4. I dont feel this is enough but she is not interested any other time, she is gaining normally has plenty wet nappies etc etc. She just seems too young to only have 4 feeds. She has always...

Hi, You mentioned you have two special needs kids, one with Aspergers and one with apraxia. If I can be so nosy as to ask how old the child with apraxia is and if he/she is talking? My nephew is 2 1/2 and still not talking--he is in speech and occupational therapy--but his therapists mentioned...

What is going on? Does teething get worse overnight? DS is taking decent naps during the day(2 naps about 2 hours total--he used to take no naps) but is up all night. All right, I'm exaggerating, but not much! He goes to bed(in his crib) around 7:30 or 8 and comes to bed with me when...

Could it be? DS is 7 1/2 months--AF returned at around 6 months. Still no AF this month--31 days into cycle. I used to have a 28-31 day cycle. Anybody have irregular periods when nursing? PMS started 2 Mondays ago and still no AF! Could it be??? DS still nurses through the night and, of...

Hi all, For all of you cosleepers--how do/did you all deal with your little one crawling in the bed? DS is 7 months old and cosleeps part of the night with me--then part of the night with DH. I go to work in the middle of the night so DH has him alone in bed for half of the night. We are both...

Haven't posted in a while---back at work and extremely busy. My DS--just turned 6 months on the 23rd--has recently begun waking in the night. He has eaten probably 5 times overnight for the past week and a half(unlike his usual 1-2 feeds overnight). I am exhausted and am praying this is a...

DS had his 2 month Dr. appointment today and we were told by a nurse-not the Dr.- that he needs vitamin D supplements because he is exclusively breastfed. Is this true? I take a prenatal vitamin, which I know is for my benefit, but don't any of the vitamins pass through my milk to him? ...

Does thawed EBM have an odor to it? I have just thrown 2 thawed EBM bottles out because they had an odor--kind of like a plastic smell or maybe freezer burn--it really bothers me to throw any bm out but better safe than sorry. Our freezer door was left open for a few hours a couple of weeks ago...

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...

Hi all, I return to work on Friday(Boo hoo). DS will be 20 weeks old and Bf is going great--got off to a rough start though. I want to pump at work so DS doesn't have to have any formula and so my supply won't dwindle. He only eats from one breast at a feeding now so is it safe to assume that I...

What does an occassional green poop mean? I've read too much foremilk-not enough hindmilk but DS only eats from one breast per feeding. Should I stretch that out to 2 feedings? He had one green stringy poopy diaper yesterday and one today. The other 4 or so poops he has everyday are...

Ok I know everyone asks this but I am being boring today! Tara is 9months old. I breastfeed her, as well as give solids usually 2 times a day. She was introduced to a bottle at about 5 weeks old due to a hospitalisation that I couldnt always be there for. We had no problems then, she would only...

Ok, I planned to feed until at least 2years if not longer basiclly to let tara wean herself, problem is she seems to wants to wean now and I am not really happy with it, she is only 9 1/2 months and to me that just isnt long enough, she will not latch at all just pushes me away. And if she...

How difficult is it to become pregnant while breastfeeding? We want to have another baby, but we also want to continue to b/f the baby we have now. FWIW, I've been b/f since my baby's birth and I haven't had a menstrual cycle at all during this time, so I'm thinking it will be even more difficult...

What I've done in the past is start out giving my baby the breast she prefers. Then I try and switch to the less desired one. If I were you, I would lay down with your baby and offer him the right breast. Then after he's taken enough in so that he's not 'starving', offer him the left one, still...
