I'm wondering if anyone out there has or does or would feel similar to what I'm feeling lately... I was a bf baby, so were both of my younger brothers. I have always had great, great support from my mother as far as nursing goes... I breastfed DS exclusively until he was about 10 months old, then...

I'm taking the micronor (sp?) mini pill, and I have been since the beginning of January. DD2 is just about 4 months now, and still nursing fantastic. Still refusing a bottle of EBM, still refusing anything on a spoon. This mini pill seems to be going alright... I am wondering, though, just a...

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...

Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts or opinions about this... DD2, 4 days short of 6 months, is exclusively breastfed, still, and still going strong. Her diet consists of breast milk and then more breast milk. We have slowly been trying, the last week or so, to introduce some rice cereal,...

Just wondering. DD2 is now 6 months old. Still nursing strong, still strongly refusing EBM (given up on that a long while back) and still not really interested in any food, other than a boob. We have given her a bit of the rice cereal, but it's not a regular thing, and it's only at night if I find...

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...

....I thought I'd just double check here... I called the Health Link here and asked, but I just want to make sure 100% as the nurse I talked to sounded like she really was unsure. I know the general rule of thumb for frozen EBM is 3 months in the freezer, 6 months in the deep freeze. Should I...

Other than trying to rub EBM on 'em, is there anything else that can be used for a very recently sore nipple? DD2 took a good chomp out of me this morning before we actually got up for the day. I went up to feed her in the morning when I heard her making noises in the room. I went up, took her...

Looking for some ideas, so if you have any, do let me know... My cousin's wife is expecting some time soon. I actually have no idea, and I really kind of don't care. I don't care much for this cousin (or his parents and brother, but I would pick this particular cousin, minus his wife, if I had...

Not sure why... I lost it the evening before last when N basically threw the bowl of vegetables out of the microwave all over the kitchen... It was, of course, an accident. He didn't know that there was that much water in it (was cooking frozen vegetables in water in the mic) and when he went...

Not sure what's going on or what to do about it. The last couple days, I feel like I'm ready to explode. It feels like DD2 just can't eat enough. She does, though, as she's feeding as she always has. Her weight gain is fine. She's 11 weeks tomorrow. I'm feeling such pain of being real full...

Alright, DD is just about 6 months old now. She's currently on baby food (she's had stuff like peas, carrots, green beans, squash, wax beans, applesauce, bananas, etc) I give her some pablum in the morning - sometimes with a bit of bananas or whatever mixed in, but not always, some veggies...

My apologies... :D I liked it, anyways, and it seems to be only kind of off topic ;) --- A not necessarily well-prepared student sat in his life science classroom, staring at a question on the final exam paper. The question directed: "Give four advantages of breast milk." What to write? He...

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 is 3 days old... So far, I think we've been doing good with everything. She's a 100% bf baby, and I plan to keep it that way - no bottles of expressed milk OR formula. Might look at expressing in the future, but not any time soon... I'm wondering if I'm on the right track so far - DS and I...

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...

After the little discussion about baby wraps and all that, I went out and picked up this nasty pink material. I figured it was stretchy and I thought it 'rolled' when stretched. Turned out that it did fray and not 'roll' and it also really wasn't as stretchy as I had thought. It kind of...

Just a question... DD2 is not quite 10 weeks old now. Wow, time flies, it seems! IIRC, with DS (almost 6), I didn't start periods again until looong after he was born. I did, however, exclusively bf him until he was about 6 months old. At that point, I did offer him EBM in a bottle on...

The last few days I've been feeling kind of sick. I've been sneezing like there's no tomorrow and my nose is so plugged up. My eyes are constantly watering, oh, and my nose is so plugged! Did I mention I've been feeling like garbage lately?? I'm wondering if anyone knows if I can take...

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...
