A weaning discussion by
Irene
Well, I'm starting to discuss weaning with dd. :) She's still nursing
a lot, and, frankly, I'm getting tired of it. So, we've been talking a
lot lately about whether she's a little girl, a big girl, etc. Right
now, she seems to think she's a Little Big Girl. ;) (She turns 3 yo in
April, btw) ...

Allergy meds for bf *and* pg? by
Irene
Hey, all you meds experts out there - I have a question for you!
I seem to remember that when I was pg with ds, my OB didn't want me
taking Claritin for my seasonal allergies. However, we found out it
was ok for bf. Well, I just had my two lines show up, and now allergy
season is coming. I...

Completely OT Poll: How long have you waited at a hair or tanning salon? by
Irene
Sorry to post something so completely OT, but you guys are the biggest
group of women I know!
The basic question is:
When at a hair salon, how many people have you had to wait through to
get to your haircut? In other words, no wait would be 0, waiting for
the person in the chair to be done would...

We may be almost done...toddler weaning by
Irene
I'm not sure if this is it, or not, but ds (28 months) seems to be
heading towards self-weaning. Now that I'm almost 5 months pg,
there's hardly any milk left. About once or twice a day, he asks for
mommy milk, tries for a moment, and then declares "all gone."
Fortunately, I've been explaining...

Question on Avent Isis manual pump by
Irina
I plan to use this pump at work, but it says in the instructions that
it needs to be washed and sterilized after each use!!! I need to pump
at least twice while I am at work, and of course there is no way I can
sterilize it or even wash as the "breastfeeding room" at work is
nowhere close to the...

Indirect support :-) by
Irish Marie
My friend and neighbour was telling me today that she met an previous
neighbour yesterday whilst visiting her parents who has a 2 week old baby
and is bf but is finding it difficult and tiring because he is feeding every
couple of hours.
So she told her about how I was the same at the start but...

Ab Fab BBC by
Irish Marie
Anybody else see Absolutely Fabulous on BBC1 tonight?
Quick bit of Saffy using an electric breast pump and then Eddie looking at
the bottle of EBM and saying that she reckoned she could get more from one
'titful'.
Very funny!

Isn't this just WRONG! by
Irish Marie
https://www.handybaby.com/index.php?content=gallery.php
I saw an article on this 'great' new product in the Irish Independent
Mothers and Babies Supplement today, and all I can say is that I am shocked!
There is bf, ff and then this which is the most uncaring, bad parenting tool
in the world...

No teeth but biting! by
Irish Marie
Liam doesn't have any teeth yet but lately he is biting down with his gums
and twisting as he comes off the breast. OWW!! He thinks this is fun because
he grins at me when I wince in pain. What do I do, he's only 5 months so I
don't think telling him no, or removing him will get the message...

Over the last few days I have been having debates in my head over whether or

Follow up by
Irish Marie
I can't remember what I called the thread but I just wanted to let those who
helped me out with advise recently.
I have been giving less formula this week and nursing more to get the supply
up again.
Liam has been very well settled and all thoughts of spoon feeding are well
and truly at the back of...

Nursing established by by
Irish Marie
Just wondering when you all felt that you had your nursing established by?
Is it generally not established until after the 6 week growth spurt or can
it be established beforehand?

Poop Lol! by
Irish Marie
I have to laugh at Liam, he almost always poops when I'm feeding him or at
least he'll always choose to poop when feeding rather than at any other
time. And everybody else in the room can hear him. He'll have us poor with
the amount of nappies he is going through..........might be time...

Best advise for bf after c-section by
Irish Marie
A friend of mine has just had a baby girl today by c-section (I am so upset
for her, they sectioned her because they thought the baby was too big, it
turns out she was 8lb 10ozs, her last baby was 10lb 2oz so I reckon this was
unnecessary!)
Anyway, before she had the baby she was intending on bf so...

Not co-sleeping by
Irish Marie
I just wanted to take a straw poll of those that did/do and didn't/don't
co-sleep.
My dh is a barman so he always stinks of passive smoke after work, he also
smokes the occasional cigar so he sometimes smells of smoke even when not
working.
So based on that I don't think that it would be wise to...
