Anyone ever hear about something this far fetched? I don't know why it popped into my mind, but back just before DD was born, MIL brought it up for the first time... Saying something about how SHE would take DD whenever... Shortly after DD was born, she had said the same thing... She'll take...

DD2 (now 4 months) is kind of giving me a run for my money... She still refuses to take a bottle of EBM. I've tried 2 different nipples yesterday, still no go. I guess I don't really mind so much, as I love the "our" time of nursing, but I wouldn't mind just a tad of freedom. It would be kind...

I'm now not sure what to do! I called the pediatrican's office just now, and I asked what I should do about DD2. She will not accept a bottle of EBM from me or anyone else, even just to top her off after a feeding, and although rice cereal doesn't upset her or her stomach, I just feel like...

Very little, but still. Over a few days, she ate one baby food jar of those wax beans (the ones that she was finding it funny to 'gag' on) and she has now been alright with the barley cereal, which she eats every now and then. DD2 is just about 7 months old, but I find that my mom is constantly...

So, ever since last Wednesday, DD2 has taken a liking to biting me every now and then. Boy, did I ever forget how painful that is. It started last Wednesday. We were at DSs soccer game, and DD2 is getting cranky and hungry. I started to nurse her. She was slightly worked up, I knew she was...

Today I went with my mom and the kids to get school supplies for DS. I had all the kids with me, and we're doing our shopping. My mom was pushing DD1 in the cart, DS was walking and I had DD2 in the wrap. DD2 starts to fuss a bit and I *know* she's getting a bit tired and hungry. Out of the...

We had quite the interesting afternoon today... Went to my parents' place for dinner. DD2 is 11 months old now - wow, 11 months, actually, tomorrow - and is still nursing strong. She will take a sippy cup (the straw-type sippy cup ONLY) and normally I'll give her either just water or a...

Well, I went to the 2007 breastfeeding challenge that we had over here. There was a total of 21 moms with a total of 22 nursing babies ALL latched on and nursing at the same time at 11am. I think it was awesome! A couple news crews - cameras and reporters - were on site for it, and DD2 and I...

I'm just wondering... DD2 is still nursing and still going strong. She's just about 16 months now - wow, does time fly or what?? She currently nurses first thing in the morning, just before breakfast, sometimes will nurse before her nap (often, though, she'll only go for a couple minutes before...

I have something strange going on, and it's left both an LLL leader and a health nurse wondering. For some reason, my nipples are extremely red, when they're normally like a light brown color. Just the nipples, not around or anything. Also, the nipples only are kind of peeling fine layers of...

I thought this was a big no-no... Mixing formula and breast milk... The quickness of the situation... A lady on a local board for mostly SAHMs is going for surgery on Thursday. She has a 10ish week old daughter. Exclusively bf. Baby is going to the inlaws for 3 days while she recovers from...

This made me laugh... I went online to do some seaching for a double stroller at the local stores... Just to get an idea of what is available where and price things out before wasting a trip for nothing... Went through basically the entire baby section just out of curiosity, if I need that item or...

DD2, 1 week old today, has been nursing just fine. No problems at all. I feed her on demand and she does eat well. Yesterday, I was sitting at the table nursing and I realized that the side she was not feeding on was leaking. (Yes, I know this is normal) and I decided to kind of 'catch' it in...

I'm sure someone might have come across a similar problem... Just wondering what I should or shouldn't do... Here's the situation... DD2 will be 2 weeks old tomorrow. Bfing is going great. I'm nursing only, and I am also pumping and storing. I am currently nursing on demand. At home, I find...

Well, I kind of got fairly lost with that last post and question I had about nursing at the home of someone else... I have been reading when I can to try and keep up, but I think I was lost long ago :( I've decided that I will just simply say that we'd love to come over and visit, but I require...

We had our 2-week appointment yesterday with the ped. Kinda late, as DD2 was 3 weeks exactly yesterday. Her weight at birth was 7lbs 3oz. At 8 days old, her weight was 7lbs 8oz. At 3 weeks, her weight was 9lbs 2oz. She's only been breastfed to date, I have been pumping (although not quite as...

....Just wondering... DD2 is 5 weeks. So far, weight gain has been great, she does seem to be eating enough, but lately, maybe the last week or so, I've noticed that she's doing the same thing as DD1 did... She'll eat, and then it's almost like she gets angry and frustrated. She'll try to suck...

I'm just wondering... I'm aware that everyone is from every corner of the globe, and IIRC, there's not too many that are from around where I am, but maybe there's a few I've missed that are around often, and here's to hoping there's a few lurkers... I'm in Canada (Western Canada, if it makes a...

IIRC, Irene had put a link showing ideas on how to make your own wrap... I found he http://www.mamatoto.org/documents/MakeAWrap.pdf a basic home made wrap that you just buy the material and go, and it also has a few ways to wear it. Last night, I went out to the Walmart and picked up 5m (it...

DD2 is 19 months now. We just found out we're expecting yet another. I just found out the other day, so it's still real early. DD2 is still nursing, and still nursing strong. She nurses usually 3-4 times a day (not including if and when she's REAL tired or manages to hurt herself or...
