When I'm in a rush I BF instead of solids or cut open an avocado and dig out pieces with a spoon (like a yogurt cup).

I used to wash in between, and worried about droplets also. My situation has changed and now I can't rinse them so I keep them cold with ice packs in a cooler. Just a thought. It actually made it a...

We gave my DD slushy BM for her 1 yr "cake". She started calling it BRRR! She loves it!

A binder wedged under the door works great to keep from being interrupted behind unlocking doors if they swing in.

I pump to and from work and I do it similar to worknpump. I thought I'd add in my little tricks I find helpful. I'm sure these don't work for everyone, but might be worth a try. 1) I pull my shirt...

Tanya- Great link. I remember reading that just before giving fortified foods at the suggestion of my ped. I brought in the article to my ped and she brushed it off, but stopped pressuring me to give...

Thank you for your responses. Also, I've started offering solid food 2-3x/day. Man can she down some avocado! This sure is fun isn't it!

Yeah, my daughter only tries to do that with my Mom. Noone else and it is actually her paternal grandmother who provides our regular daycare. I think it has something to do with the scent being the...

I used to switch bottles and keep pumping after filling two 5oz bottles each breast in the beginning. I would pump for about 10 minutes total (20 minutes including set up / clean up) and get 20-25 oz...

So, my DD is 11 months old and I have no desire to wean her. Everyone I talk to seems to be forcing themselves to keep at it because it is the right thing to do or their lo isn't ready so I feel a...

Thanks. I checked Kellymom and found that 2 of the possible meds are L3 and I kind of worry about that, but I'm just going to go for it. The feeling is almost back now. Thank you mommal and...

Did you ask for a specific type of anesthesia?

Hi,
My dd is 9 months old. She has a cow protein allergy, still gets all her nutrition needs met with breastmilk and only is exploring some solid foods. Today I had a cavity filled and checked with...

Thanks Mommal. It is good to hear that this is common. She has been distracted while nursing a lot lately which I thought was normal for her age, but I just worried because she also can't have free...

Ok, I used to pump for 15-20 mins at 10am and 2pm. Now I pump when I can and I try to get in 1 before lunch and one after. I am now getting anywhere from 2-4 oz in the am and 2-3 in the pm. I used to...

Hi,

I am a working mother desperately trying to ward off weaning. My 8 month old mostly sleeps through the night, but we bed share so maybe she wakes to nurse and I don't remember. She nurses a...

Bump!
Also, I don't understand when people say they can phase out the pump at work. What do you give your babies while at work? My lo doesn't really eat much while she explores her food and doesn't...

Yeah, sorry about that. I guess I went on a tangent. I don't know anything about pump weaning, but phi gave some good advice on dealing with engorgement.

I think srb might be saying that her daughter is allergic to cows milk. This can happen and sometimes babies grow out of it, but not always. My 7 mo is allergic to cow's protein and we found out...

My 6mo is exploring her world via her mouth as babies do. She also is very interested in watching us eat. I want to do BLS, but the kid would eat a paper bag if I let her. How do I know when to...

I was wondering if you need to use formula? This seems to be a sure way to decrease your supply even more. If you need to due to not having enough milk shown by baby not producing enough wet diapers...

I would add to all this sage advice to try a full body focusing on lower back massage for gas. I found that the massage low on her back between her hip bones was most helpful for tummy pain in my lo....

Ok, I haven't thrown it out yet. Thanks again.

I'm gonna skip looking at the pics. I already feel horrible about having used it and stressed about the potential harm I may already have caused. I also already bought a new pump. I also think I'll...

Thank you! It is so good to know that others are going through the same things.
