Thank you for your replies. I'm going to do my best at answering your questions and ask you some :)
@Mommy2lilah: I'd rather not say where we're going or what we'll be doing (privacy and all that!),...

We can take him with us (and we're driving so I can make that decision all the way up to the day we leave), but I really feel like him being on his normal schedule, in familiar surroundings, and not...

In June we will be going on a trip without the baby for 4.5 days. He will be a week shy of 10 months when we leave. At first I wasn't worried about it at all, but then we had issues with slow/no...

Goodness no! He eats solids 3 times a day and nurses at least 7 times per day. I was saying he is disinterested in 2-3 of the nursing sessions we have each day.

disinterest is in nursing only...and he's not consistently disinterested. I would say he does this 2-3 feedings a day...but I feel like I need him to eat because of his low weight!

This is also after several minutes of attempting to get him to relatch. I have a good supply and it seems to respond to his demand well, I guess I'm just paranoid? I do nurse him side-lying for at...

I posted a couple of weeks ago about slow/no weight gain. DS is doing great. He's gaining, growing, and even his countenance has changed! I added 2-3 feedings per day and also 3 servings of solids...

He gained a little, but it gradually slowed in his first 4 months and then there was no gain between 4 and 6 months. He is 11 days shy of 7 months today. For us, I think the lack of poop should have...

Thanks! I guess I was just concerned that the quick gain might not be good for him, and I was also concerned that he may become disproportionate with continued rapid weight gain. We'll just stick to...

Well, it's been 1 week (+1 day) since we found out DS hadn't grown in 2 months and he is doing great! He started at 10lbs 12 oz last week at the Dr's office and was 12lbs 13.5 oz today on our scale....

Bummer...I guess I'm tied to the house for a while, oh well.

On the upside, the week of constant nursing and increase in solids has already improved my boy's system. He's pooped every day since...

ahh...I have a pretty large chest too...maybe that's why I feel so clumsy trying to get everything set up in the right place!

toddlerandtwins,
I see. Thank you for responding.

I've watched a couple of youtube videos, but I guess I'm just dense. I cannot figure out how babywearing and nursing simultaneously is supposed to be easier than just nursing. It's just clumsy and...

I'm not trying to be snarky at all, but am genuinely curious why you think that a bottle of EBM is not a good idea? Is it because you think she should just get used to NIP or for a different reason?...

magnoliahoney is right, the first time is the hardest. It was a uncomfortable for me the first couple of times, but I got over that really quickly. Try going out the next couple of days to places...

hellchick, just wanted to say our babies are birthday twinsies :) I hope you get everything sorted out!

I am by FAR no expert...but as far as biting goes, my DS's bottom teeth came up about a month ago and he got me pretty good a couple of times!! The first link mommal gave you helped me a lot. Also,...

awww...thanks ladies (and daddydearest...I'm sorry you're going through this too:()! I really, really appreciate your encouragement! DS pooped today, which makes two days in a row!! :clap AND I got...

Illmeg, thanks for thinking about me :) I DO feel bad, but it's not your fault. I'm worried about my boy and terribly sad that I haven't done a good job breastfeeding or paying attention for that...

Thanks again ladies. I was definitely in a moment of weakness when I wrote that last post. I was expecting to find some reassurance when I went back through my DD's records, and instead found more...

Just went back through my records...turns out DD wasn't as small as I thought she was. She weighed 17lb 11 oz at 6 mo and was 26 in. Now I'm really worried because everyone was concerned about her...

thanks for the responses ladies. Just to clarify, the doctor has made no suggestions as to a solution yet. She did schedule a weight check in a month and take a urine sample, but we won't know the...

Hi all! I'm new to this particular forum and have a question about my sweet baby boy.

DS is just over 6 months old and only weighs 11lb 12oz. He did not gain any weight between his 4 and 6 month...
