Gwendolyn (1 week on Tuesday) has fairly normal yellow, curdled-looking poops. But watery too - I'd almost call them diarrhea, because of the wateryness (which may be seen as a circle soaked into the diaper around the 'curds'.). And invariably when we change her diaper, she poops *more*, sometimes...

I'm not sure what's wrong with the kiddo. Okay, so she's got some new skills, like rolling and reaching forward to grab things. This is exciting, and she doesn't want to eat all day. But what's up with night time? I'd understand if she nursed all night, but last night she cried and cried without...

You know, people have asked about this stuff here sometimes, for when their kids have to go into daycare and they can't pump enough, or whatever. I *finally* saw a Horizon brand organic cow's milk formula, suitable for babies birth-12 months, at the grocery store. $17 for a can of the stuff! ...

http://www.petstages.com/default2.asp (click on 'developmental toys for dogs') No, no, I'm serious. Somebody ought to make toys like these for kids. I bought the 'interacting' ring with tags on it. Some of the tags crinkle. The tags are mouthable and grabbable, and the ring is just the right...

Okay, this kid can't actually sit up by herself. She has to be wedged upright into the seat with a rolled up towel, so she doesn't flop from side to side. But she's no longer happy on my lap in any position (unless she's nursing, and that doesn't take very long). She doesn't want to be on...

Published in the Journal of Human Lactation: http://www.ilca.org/pubs/jhl/j18h1l10.pdf Using these methods, perhaps we need not worry *quite* so much about bottle/nipple preference having a devastating effect on breastfeeding. --angela

So, I'm having real problems with this one breast - plugged duct by day 3, mastitis by day for, blood blisters on the end of the nipple, scabbing, and pain *all* *the* *time*, plus nursing is excrutiating. So I've got Soothies on my nipples, per instructions of the ICBLCs at the hospital, and...

....or do I just have so much milk that this kiddo doesn't *have* to build up my supply? I've waited and waited for her growth spurts to have her catch up to my supply...at 2 weeks, I hoped, at 3 weeks I prayed, and now we're almost at 6 weeks and there's not a sign of a nurse-every-hour growth...

Hi all, I'm 34 weeks pregnant and planning on breastfeeding. I'm a bit confused as to wether or not you feed from both breasts at one feeding or if you alternate breasts with feedings? I have a book that my MIL gave me that is, unfortunately, dated 1987. As I'm reading it, part of me is...

Hi all! Is it normal to have a low yield when you first start pumping? I have a PIS and tried pumping in the morning on the breast that my son didn't nurse on. Yesterday was the first time at this and we got a whapping 3/4th of an ounce. Today, other breast, same amount.

Hi all! Ror all of you who are pumping, how many ounces are you feeding in each bottle? I have a 4.5 month old who was happily eating a 4 oz bottle, even leaving a bit behind. I've bumped up the amount I leave for him to be closer to 5 oz, but I'm having a hard time figuring out if that's enough.

Hi all! We just had our 6 month check up. Everything is going well, DS is developing normally in every way except weight. He currently weighs 13lbs 5oz which is just below the curve on the groth charts. The doc isn't frantic, she acknoledges the progress he's making in every other arena, but...

Hi all: I haven't posted here before, so forgive the improper introduction, but I wondered if anyone has experience with Parlodel (Bromocriptine). I had to take 2.5mg parlodel in order to ovulate & conceive my daughter, who is now just over 9 months old (I only took it for a month, so it worked...

Flowspoon is a great new baby spoon that is closed on one end with a hole. It sounds strange, but it works like magic! Because the food is being sucked out, it goes down without a mess, instead of squishing out of the baby's mouth. I got a free sample from a friend who is selling them on...
