I'll let her know for sure :) Thanks! She is still having some issues with latch but I think she will continue to work through them.

Thanks! I asked her and she isn't currently using and birth control and is not having sex either and hasn't at all since the birth so she can't be pregnant. SHe is going to get the Mirena IUD at 8...

Ok so I have two questions. First is for my friend. She has a 4 week old baby and she has been EBF her from the beginning. The baby is tongue tied but not so severely that she can't latch and my...

I know nipple shields are not recommended due to supply decrease but it would still be preferable to exclusive pumping. Have she tried one? What about Lanolin?

Agree as well. Also, get some lanolin for the sore nipples. You can get it at the dollar store. It's safe for baby and doesn't have to be wiped off before a feed. But yes see an IBCLC. And remind her...

OK first of don't give up you are doing great!!! Next, get some Lanolin. You can get it at the dollar store in the baby section. Rub it on your nipples after EVERY feed. It will help your nipple...

You're probably right. I should pump just to see haha. She still night nurses as well. I've got her down to only 2 or 3 times a night now instead of the 6-8 times that it was, just because I can't...

Thank you everyone! Yes I agree that it does supplement her nutrition, what I should have said is that she doesn't depend on it soley for nutrition. I have used the distraction techinique, and making...

I don't plan to wean any time soon. I figure I'll let her go as long as she wants. I don't mind. I love it. I was so sad when my first stopped so early. (for me 13 months was not nearly as long as I...

I am still breastfeeding my 15 month old DD, A2. She knows the sign for "milk" and lately she is asking for it constantly. She gets so upset if I tell her no or to wait. She is wanting to nurse every...

I mean ASK for the diflucan haha

It sounds like thrush to me. It can be a real pain. I'd go in right away and get checked out. Even if LO doesn't have symptoms they still typically medicate both. As for the diflucan, it works soooo...

I wouldn't introduce solids. That can just complicate things IME. What kinds of bottles have you tried? We tried probably 12 different bottles before we tried the Mimijumi Bottle and she FINALLY took...

Ya I am going to get my Mirena checked just to make sure everything is fine. And I don't have periods with Mirena so it's not that.

Ah thank you, you are so sweet! And I'm glad I'm not alone :) :love

Just took a test and it was negative. So that's good. Although I don't think I'll ever be sad to see a positive test. It's just not in me. Pregnancy is too miraculous. Anyway. I guess the nipple pain...

Ya I plan on testing soon. I just don't have a car available until tomorrow. I'm really starting to wonder if I am...Which terrifies me because of the risk to a baby because of the IUD.

Ok so I nursed DD1 for 13 months before a nursing strike turned into weaning. Had no problems with nipple soreness after the initial irritation. Even with her teeth coming in and whatnot. I am...

I have a side both my girls always preferred. I think because it's a bit bigger and produces more. With my first daughter I found the same thing happening that's happening to you, ending up nursing...

Could you have an OALD? I didn't read all the other replies so they may have already asked this...But this could definitely explain everything that's going on.

Oh I baby wear all the time. She loves it haha. But yes I know I am "flabby skinny". Skinny without trying. I'll make an effort to do more physical activity. Even if its just a few minutes at first....

We're outside nearly every day. We have a pool at our apartment and love spending time out there. I don't get much exercise. I'm sure I need to do more. But it's so hard when I already feel so tired....

I'm not really sure how to manage naps as my 3 year old doesn't nap any more. And she has a habit of getting into trouble if I'm not around. I have found myself very very irritable lately too. :( I...

I am BF my 9 month old DD2. She eats a bit of solids here and there. I am doing BLS so I just go by what she acts like she wants and needs. So far she isn't consuming much besides BM. She is a great...

That's so great! I am so glad to hear!!!!
