Thanks for the replies. Just to clarify, I've been really considering my situation and my options lately. Probably at the root of me wanting ot wean (aside from having the goal of weaning at a year)...

My DS is 10.75 mo. I have been breastfeeding since birth with the goal of having him weaned by one year (6/18). Although I have liked (tolerated?) breastfeeding and will certainly breastfeed any...

Thanks! I think I'm ready to try pumping again then. :)

This is interesting. I have had the same trouble with my milk, off and on. DS is 10 1/2 mo. I had been scalding the milk immediately after pumping, letting it cool in the fridge for a bit and then...

Hi,
I have a 10 mo DS who is a joyful, sweet little guy. He is extremely easy during the day and I have to practically push the boob at him to get him to nurse. I do this every 4 hours so I can...

Perhaps. I have been messing with glass just because I had read that storing in plastic could cause the sour taste. Back to square one....I will try scalding, storing in a bag and freezing...

So, I got to thinking of what you said about milk oxidation and was wondering if this could be a problem....when I pump my nipple often ends up sucked up against the side of the flange, so I remove...

It has had a "soapy" taste before, but this stuff just smelled...nasty. Hard to describe. I was so disappointed to have put so much work into pumping it (I usually never pump unless I'm planning to...

I have been finding that my milk gets sour after pumping, so I did some research on the lipase thing, stopped taking my fish oil, started scalding after pumping and storing the milk in glass. I would...

I'm using an Ameda umm....don't remember the name of it, but it's a 'big' one. A friend gave it to me. It's well-loved but hasn't seemed to have any decrease in suction or anything. I was using the...

Hi,
I have an 8 mo boy, 19 1/2 lb and 28" tall. We've been doing fruits and veggies since 6 mo and oatmeal for about the past couple weeks. The nurse at my dr's office said I should mix the oatmeal...

My 7 month old recently decided it would be "funny" start biting Mommy while he eats. I'm working on telling him "no!", but so far he just laughs at me. I have one wound, though, that doesn't seem to...

I totally hear you!! My 5.5 mo is EBF, and my SIL has a 6.5 mo. We basically do EVERYTHING opposite...I CD, she uses disposables, I BF, she FFs, and so on, which makes it awkward when we get together...

Thanks, everyone! I will pass the info and encouragement on to her. The grunting sounds painful, but I'm not sure whether he is asleep or awake. I will ask her about any other allergy symptoms. My...

My sister has a new little boy who is 3 1/2 weeks old. She has ebf all of her children and had significant troubles with gas in the other 2 babies. Her new LO has been better, but has taken to...

Thanks! I have about 8 oz saved now. I was up to 16, but wasted some trying unsuccessfully to give him a bottle (Medela Calma--I had to start with the breast and 'sneak' the bottle in, which defeats...

My baby doesn't take a bottle, so I have tried to feed him plenty and then have my drink right afterwards, but it seems like when I do that, he still ends up hungry after about an hour. So here's the...

I'm glad I found this post--my 12 week old just started going 6 hours at night. Last night I fed him around 9 or 9:30 and I didn't wake up until 5:15! I was alarmed, so I went to see if he was...

Hi,
I have a 12-week-old and am a SAHM. I used to pump once a day to build a freezer stash so that I could get outside in the evenings when hubby is home, and he could feed the baby, who often eats...

My DS does the same thing! It led me to wonder if my supply was too low, but then I'd wake up spraying milk every morning. I was glad to hear it's normal!!

Thanks. I'm gonna try lowering the dose drastically and/or quitting it, and hopefully I'll continue both lactating and healing.

Thanks. I know it's a silly thought; I was just afraid that the return to menses would mean that I'm gonna dry up sooner than I'd like. But that's likely an entirely different issue for a different...

I actally had my "6 week" appt on Aug. 9, which was during the 7th week, so I've only used the Estrace a few times. I don't think it could be lochia because I've been dry for weeks. I called my dr....

Thanks, mommal. I'm thinking I should maybe quit the Estrace, since hubby and I use NFP and I really don't want to screw with my hormones and end up pregnant. I just hope I can get healed up soon!

Hi, I have an 8.5 week old little guy and am breastfeeding exclusively, although I do pump once every day or two to make sure I have an "emergency supply." He also does take a pacifier from time to...
