Thank you- I really do feel like this is all I can do for her right now, so every ounce I get makes me feel like I am helping her. Thank you for the advice and experience. I will pump as much as...

I am somewhat familiar with ep'ing with a newborn, I did it for a few weeks with my son, but how often should I be pumping for my 6 mo old? She has been hospitalized in the PICU since Saturday for a...

Thanks for the info! I do agree, I don't want to end up with plugged ducts or mastitis- I thought about that when it was so painful this AM. We'll see if she keeps this up and maybe I will...

Thanks! I guess I just needed some reassurance since this is unusual to me. My DS did go through the 4 mo sleep regression, going from a couple night wakings to every hour or 2, so I am prepared...

My DD has started STTN already- or at least she has the past few nights. (And by that I mean 7+ hour stretches.) I actually woke her up just now after 7 hours because I was so much in pain. She...

Sounds pretty normal! I am doing that a lot with my 5 week old, a little hard since I also have an 18 mo old, but we manage! I have noticed that my husband can sometimes settle her if I really need...

For the most part she seems to not be bothered by it, but at night she sometimes goes on for a while sounding like she's grunting and making uncomfortable noises- like she can't get something up. ...

My DD is almost 5 weeks old and spits up after every feeding (often several times)- much more than my DS, so just checking what was "normal". The only time DS spit up this much was when we were...

Thanks everyone- I am hoping to talk to lactation consultant today- got a little more pumped today and DD is doing well. :)

My daughter was just born yesterday at 36w 4d and is in the NICU for low blood sugar. So far she is latching and eating 2-3 hours for about 30 mins total at a time, but they also told me to pump...

Wow, good to know! I will look into that and avoid the strings until I know otherwise. I know my DS has gagged with other shredded foods, but only because he puts too much in his mouth. I could...

My DS is 8.5 mo old and I was wondering same sort of thing. He loves his solids and I am afraid of over feeding solids. He still wakes up avg 3 times to nurse at night, but he is getting harder and...

Mommal- DS is 8.5 mo old. Thanks for the advice!

katia11- Thanks! I know- I love BLW as well! So glad I discovered it here!

We are doing BLW and I have a few questions, could use some direction or advice!

1. I have read conflicting info on when it's ok to start giving pineapple. Is it considered a citrus fruit like...

Congrats on this!!! I did the same thing (question supply and supplement) and at about 3 months was able to get DS 100% on breast milk!! You can do it- just trust your body and count babies wet...

Welcome!! :hello



This stood out to me, I can't answer a lot of the rest, but I can answer this one! From my experience, a baby will finish a bottle even if they are not hungry because they...

You could just keep having them and do a study, then publish it!! :lol

:lol I'm sure I have lots of dog feeding in our future! I think one of them was fed a graham cracker tonight, or my son is getting to be a fast eater!!

I haven't heard of it- I will check it out for sure- thanks!

And I know what you mean about being too polite. I have just started telling people about some of this stuff since so many of my...

I am struggling with a similar issue right now. It's not really a close friend who's asking for advice, just a acquaintance from my church, but she keeps posting about Babywise and sleep-training...

I am a neat freak, so it's been a challenge! Actually I am so glad we have two dogs! They patiently watch him while he's eating and then "help" me clean up the floor (and the high chair, and him!)....

Can I just say I love baby-led weaning (baby-led solids)!!! I had never heard of this before visiting this forum and other breastfeeding sites and am SOOOOO happy I did! My DS is doing excellent at...

I'm sure someone with more knowledge will comment soon... but I often think the same thing. My guy is 7 mo and still nurses that often. I figure he might not get a ton at each nursing and needs to...

So my son is almost 7 mo old and we've been doing BLW for almost a month. He is doing well, some days he is interested, other days not so much. Pretty normal from what I understand. I haven't...

I have always had similar issues with caregivers and over feeding. I think it's hard for people to understand why a baby would take a bottle like there's no tomorrow if they weren't starving. If I...
