Haven't posted in a while---back at work and extremely busy. My DS--just turned 6 months on the 23rd--has recently begun waking in the night. He has eaten probably 5 times overnight for the past week and a half(unlike his usual 1-2 feeds overnight). I am exhausted and am praying this is a...

New York - April 4, 2004 - Infant formulas prepared with fluoridated water increase dental fluorosis risk, according to the April 2004 Journal of the American College of Nutrition(1) and other studies. To prevent this tooth staining, researchers caution against mixing infant formulas with...

Can someone please look this up for me and tell me how it might effect my baby through breastmilk. It's a corticosteroid and will be in my system for a few months after the injection. TIA -- Andrea

I have got some work lined up so need to sort out this expressing thing properly. Our health visitor told me to express 6oz, give it to my bloke and leave him with the baby for 3 hours while I go shopping. Bliss! 3 hours of shopping - prescribed! wthout a pushchair! just a pity I haven't got...

I can't find any email addresses to write to... only snail mail. Is that where you wrote yours to? I am going to write mine today :) I have it on tape - can't see anything but the cute back of baby's head :) You can see her whole demeanour change when she starts feeding. She's not her loud...

At our 2 month checkup, the pediatrician recommended that we start giving her a multivitamin. Actually, she recommended vitamin D supplementation b/c we live in Maine, don't go outdoors right now unless completely bundled, and Madi is quite fair skinned. She also said that she recommends giving...

We all went through what I think might have been the flu. The ped said it was a virus in any case when My 12YO daughter had a nasty cough for about 3 weeks ;( Anyway, Nicolas woke up congested this morning. He is coughing badly enough to wake him up when he is trying to sleep. It sounds raspy and...

Hi all, Baby Rosie was born on January 4th, and was 8 lbs 12 ozs. We just came back from her two month immunization. She's actually exactly 10 weeks old. She measures now at 23 inches, and 13 lbs 3 ozs! Weight wise, she's somewhere just past the 95th percentile. The only thing that would make me...

Just wondering what you decided about your trip...I'm too lazy to google it, but I think the last I saw you were planning on taking Joshua with you and leaving within a week. Hope you have a great trip and your mother heals well and quickly. Also, I ordered a Hug-a-Bub carrier from your gleaming...

There was a report on TV last night about stores selling out of date baby products that can be lethal to your youngster. If you're about to move on to baby food, check the "SELL BY" date carefully. You can find information he http://www.wfaa.com/localnews/ Regards

DS is 8 days old and today seems to be continually hungry. I was saying to DH that it seemed like a growth spurt but it's too early - 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months and 6 months being what I remember? DH pointed out that if DS (born at 42 wks) had arrived on the EDD he *would* be 3 weeks old - so maybe...

I have gestational diabetes and I'm looking for sources on the effect that bf-ing immediately after birth has on a baby's sugar levels, especially on babies born to GD mothers. The only citation I have is from Henci Goer, but I'm looking for more. I'm hoping that maybe some of y'all have run...

How do you know when you've got PND? I can't cope anymore. I'm dreading my DP going back to work. I'm tired and weary and I'm fed up with having to carry DS about in order that he doesn't cry. It's difficult going out to any other venue cos DS was vaccinated with an icicle and any temp over...

Guess who has another staph infection in her breasts ? Oh boy is it painful to breastfeed! One breast is all red, and the other all lumpy! Both are very hot. However, I knew what to do this time - straight to the doctor, and now I'm on a 14 day course of antibiotics. I am determined to make my...

Ds is just over 1yr old and is partially bf'd - one morning and one evening feed.I don't know anyone personally who has let their child wean themselves, in fact only my sister bf until her kids were 1. He isn't really a comfort feeder and doesn't feed to sleep. His evening feed is pretty short...

The boys are doing so well I couldn't contain myself and so decided to post an update since we had their 4mo appointment. The breastfeeding is going amazingly well. They both only seem to nurse when they are hungry. This is so nice for me. It makes nursing two very manageable. They also...

I'm starting a new thread because I think this has come up in more than one thread. Depending on your water supply rinsing but not washing a pump in hot water could be a bad instead of a good thing, this is because the system for heating the water probably includes some storage allowing time for...

Well, DD and I have hit the 6 month target, after a very rocky start. I would just like to say thank you to everyone who posts here, as I have read so much wonderful information that seems unavailable in the books in our library. I feel quite proud that my little heffalump has gone from 7 lb 1 oz...
