Thank you all for the helpful replies. Sorry I've been swamped with work and nursing school and baby turning 12 months celebrating, this was my first chance on the computer. Joshuasmom thank you for...

My only suggestion is to taste the milk, to see how long it's holding up in the refridgerator. If it is still good over the week for your baby to have when you are working on the next weekend, then...

I found when my baby eats corn (or sometimes grean beans or peas, also) it has a distinct odor. It doesn't sound like anything to be concerned about, it sounds like your baby is eating nice &...

Should I cut back on demand bf? It's still her primary nutrition, but I've heard other mom's only bf their 12 mo 4-5x/day. My lo will eat every ~2hr, day and night. I would like a break lol, well, at...

Ok so here's my schedule (this semester): I am gone 3 days a week, Day 1: 9hr.; day 2: 5hr.; Day 3: split 3hr, then home for a few hrs, then gone 5hrs. Baby is 12 mo. and yes we feed on demand the...

I really would like to pump wean soon. Only being gone for one full day, and the 3 or 5 hrs at a time gone are easier to pump wean. I went from pumping hourly on the one 5 hr shift to trying to pump...

try having someone hold her like you do when you breastfeed her, and feed her the bottle that way. sorry if you're already doing that and I missed that. also, you could try letting her drink from a...

Yes that will work, I'll try to add a pump session in the AM. Thanks!!

I am in nursing school and work in the hospital one day a week. I carpool, and am not sure how comfortable I'd be with a classmate sitting beside me in the car while pumping. Great idea, though. I'll...

So all together 3days/wk the one day/week 9 hrs away from baby, pumped 6 or 7 oz. For 3 shifts, on 2 days/wk around 5 hrs output=3 or 4 oz. I get less in the p.m. Can my body become more efficient...

PISA and on 30-40 min. lunch I get more, betw/ 3 or 4. If the membranes look still good, do they still need replaced?

Sometimes I feel like I don't pump enough, but I guess it's fine to do what as much as possible... For example, for 5 hr night class, with 3 - 10 minute breaks, I take approx. 15 minutes & the prof...

No, I used to wash or at least rinse & dry them each time, but now I am really rushing, and take apart & stick them right into the cooler with the ice pack and breastmilk. I either handwash them at...

I had a few questions about pumping. How long do you take total for your pump breaks? How much do you normally pump?

A little background... I am asked a lot, by friends and coworkers or...

I'm in school & we only are given 5 minutes to get from one building to another, and the lactation room for me to use is in a completely different building, also. I hate taking as much time as I...

How is the best way to handle 3 hours away from baby? Is every baby different on this? Does she need a bottle of 3-5 oz, or can she wait for this weekly class I'm gone for? If she does need the...

It sounds like your baby is doing well, baby is gaining, I would only be concerned if baby lost weight. If you're worried about supply, don't supplement, nursing more helps produce more,...

any ideas regarding gone for 5 hour shifts w/o a break? would it be beneficial to pump for only 5 minutes, and stop if that's all the time I can take?

Oh crap!! So, you don't recommend that cheese (or other foods that might have sodium) be given until after 2 yrs?:yikes :duck I did not know this. Thank you so much for this information.

Baby is almost 10 mo. She eats a little of whatever we are eating, and is mostly EBF. We are a cheese loving family, and share bits, and pizza recently, she just had some cheese of it. Now I'm...

Yes, I agree, you are doing great with what your doing. My pedi said the same things, I smile and nod. It is so much easier to feed when baby is hungry or thirsty, then we all still get a decent...

Mommal, just coming back to update. I did enjoy the tea, as I love tea in general. So I enjoyed a cup of it again yesterday & the day before, with no tummy issues this time. It must have been...

lllmeg that's exactly what it feels like sometimes!! filmmommy, isn't that the truth, too?!:lol I really, truly appreciate all of the support from everyone here. Thanks, mama's!

Paytek, I love that you are brutally honest. I find your response hilarious, just trying not to offend but apparently I'm being waay too nice. I hear you about coworkers, that's another reason I love...

How often does he breastfeed? How often does he have other foods with sugar, like juice? I would follow my dentist's advice and hopefully it gets better for your son's teeth. I've heard breastmilk is...
