night weaning not going so well by
determined
Emily is 15 months now. Still not walking, but standing without holding
onto anything for a few seconds at a time, crawls up the stairs, crawls off
the couch, pushes around her walker, all unassisted. But my doc is still
insisting we bring her to pediatric physical therapy since she isn't...

Solid frustrations by
Lina
Alena won't eat solids. She just down-right refuses them.
Well, almost all of them. She'll eat carrots and bananas without a fuss.
However, she's been losing weight and I need to get her eating solids on a
regular basis or the doctor will have me supplement with formula to bring
her weight...

Unusually Sleepy Baby by
Cuddlefish
So as you know, it was Thanksgiving long weekend here in Canada. On
Sunday I had a turkey dinner, and yesterday I had two turkey buns from
the leftovers. I drank alcohol too, but no more than what I drink
typically with meals. DS is exclusively breastfed.
Well he has been asleep since say 11am,...

Caterpillar had a playdate (long) by
Phoebe & Allyson
We went over to play with Caterpillar's separated at birth
twin (born on the same day, also has two moms) today. The
babies seemed mostly uninterested in each other, so this was
more for the moms to get to know each other.
If it weren't for having same-aged kids, I suspect we
wouldn't hang out...

Meat babyfood by
Melissa
I wasted the entire morning (my nanny morning) trying to find single
ingredient meat baby food. So, I'm wondering what you all have done. (The LC
who leads a group I attend said that a new recommendation to get iron into
exclusively bf'd babies is to start meat at six months.)
I can't go to the...

OT - appetite stimulant for a 7 yo? by
Cheri Stryker
DS1 has always been a picky eater, but he used to get a decent quantity.
Lately, though, he barely eats anything. He's still gaining height,
and a teeny tiny bit of weight, but it's getting me really worried. He
asks for 2 hot dogs for lunch, and only manages to eat 1/2 of one.
He's currently...

Is It EVER Okay to Let your Newborn Cry? by
Carol Ann
I just can't get Morgan to sleep without me holding her or having her suck
on my breast constantly.
I am really going crazy. Is it EVER okay to let your newborn cry in her
crib? If so, for how long?

joint pain - rheumatoid arthritis or what? by
Sidheag McCormack
Since DS was born, 9 weeks ago, I have been waking up with stiff and sore
finger and wrist joints in both hands. It's very slight, but it's
definitely there, and it seems to be getting worse rather than better. Most
of the stiffness wears off quite soon, but not all, and now in the late
afternoon,...

A 6-hour feed? (long, sorry) by
Cheryl S.
I know it's normal for babies to feed continuously for a couple hours in
the evening. DD did that, usually from about 7:00 to 10:00 every
evening. I wouldn't have a problem with that. DS had been doing that,
but over the past few days it's been getting longer and longer -
starting earlier and...

I have a question for those of you with twins or who may know: what
do you think is the best style sling/baby carrier for wearing twins
(both atthe same time)? The babies in question are 5-6 lbs each and

I just finished reading the book "Milk, Money, & Madness" and I wanted
to know if the bf'ing attitude has changed for the positive in the US
since the copy write date of 1995?
I was a very interesting book and a really good read. But, the book was
published after Clinton agreed to the WHO code,...

Epidurals and bfing by
[email protected]
Found this on the BBC world service website this morning.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/6161727.stm
(What really struck me was the comment that 93% of the women in the
study started out breastfeeding, and at 6 months over 50% were still
nursing! American women should do so well!)

Ok, so despite my dire warnings of horrible things to come if we give certain

things that, well, don't exactly meet my approval list ;) Last...

Weight Watchers and Nursing by
Cantrall family
Hi,
I just joined Weight Watchers last week, and I was wondering how you dealt
with the nursing mothers instructions. They say that nursing mothers can
add 10 points to their daily point total. But, if the baby is not
exclusively breastfed, then you don't get any points. geesh. I know...

Odd places to nurse a toddler! by

Hi all,
We just got back from a vacation in Florida, and I ended up nursing
Kivi (two years old in December) in two kind of unusual places.
1. The beach. I never thought I'd nurse on the beach - because I wear
one-piece swim suits that are just NOT accessible for nursing. But I
forgot my...
