The gagging goes away. At 7 mo my DD really liked to gum a bone with a little meat, or to suck on a piece of beef, and she didn't gag on those. Personally I don't think raw apple is a good first...

Bring the baby into your bed and nurse nurse nurse nurse. Try to latch the baby/toddler on even if she's sleeping and then nurse as much as she will. Just stay in bed with baby nursing. Rest and...

Several years before I had my baby I happened to have a pediatrician staying at my house. Some other friends asked him to check their baby, who hadn't seen a doctor since he was born (no insurance)....

yes, this happens to me too if I sleep in nursing position. So I scoot down the bed after she nurses and just lie on my side face to face with her without a pillow. unfortunately when she wakes i am...

I'm also sick and had the same thoughts as you. I have this stupid flu that keeps coming and going. When I was really sick I do think that DD nursing at night was compromising my recovery because...

We started giving spaghetti with meat sauce, lentil stew, soup, ravioles, lasagna, and such things around 8 mo.

Hi everyone,

We made it through the 6 days of Dr Jay Gordon method and the only major tantrum was on the first night. Later there was some fussing and crying but almost half-hearted. She would not...

Hi just wanted to update here. We had a lovely time in Louisiana and we nursed in lots of places including restaurants, university, parks, playground, Walmart aisle, zoo, swamp tour, etc. Nobody...

Great story! I made one for my 18 mo yesterday and I think it is helping. I added a bit about toucans and bears going to sleep too, since she loves pictures of animals. My parents thought it was a...

Have you tried Dr Jay Gordon's method to get a toddler to sleep longer? I'm trying it but boy, our first night was tough. I feel unsure if it is going to work and I'm wondering if I should leave it...

Tet, teta, teta! Yo tambien soy muy delgada (y con tetas muy chiquitas), pero tenia muchisima leche, no te creas de que por ser delgada no tendrias suficiente leche. Yo tenia demasiada leche. Igual,...

My husband was also concerned about co-sleeping initially. I think there were two things that convinced him.

One was that he just got a better rest in the end by sleepin in the spare bed, and me...

I agree with PP and want to also remind you that your current situation is SO temporary. I know it doesn't feel temporary and I totally understand where you are coming from with a 7.5 month old - I...

mine would sometimes wake up right away fussing if I didn't burp her. I had os and oald. I ;learned to burp her in her sleep just by sitting her up a bit.

I have tried to nurse just till drowsy when nursing to sleep, but it didn't work. I told her on these occasions we need to wait a few minutes for mummy to make more milk. She cries, then settles if I...

When I had mastitis baby solved it by nursing (and lots of rest). When I had a plugged duct, more recently, baby was not getting rid of it. I got rid of it by lots of hand expressing in the shower,...

Hi Ladies,

I could use some advice about reducing my toddler's night-wakings. We co-sleep.

Since she was about 6-10 mo the night wakings got more frequent, I felt that she was waking multiple...

This is what happened to me. I was very painfully engorged at first and nurses and OB/GYN told me to pump out the whole breast until it was as floppy as my tummy (very floppy at that time!). They...

Hi, I just wanted to update on this in case others are in a similar situation. It did go very well with DH bringing DD to nurse at lunch every day in my office. In the first week though, there was a...

Same thing happened to me around 1 month old, and solved easily. Baby started crying All The Time and having explosive poops. Her tummy felt hard and it seemed to be bad gas. I read that the crying...

Hola Mama,

Estas haciendo muy bien amamantando a tu bebe cuando el necesita. Tengo entendido que hasta el año eso es lo mejor, pero luego de un año podes empezar a poner mas limites y el bebe no...

Thanks for the advice. Still.here, yes I would give her a hug if she asked, but probably not if she was strapped in her carseat and was asking for a hug because she was bored (and she does ask to...

Hi everyone,
My 14 mo recently started using the ASL sign to tell me when she wants to nurse. I have always nursed her whenever she seemed to want to nurse, unless it was really impossible (e.g., in...

An alternative to moving her to her own bed might be to tweak your night nursing set-up a bit so you don't wake yourself up so much.

If you move her to her own bed, she might still wake up as...

Oh, sorry about that! Yes it was directed to another post! my internet cut-out and then I ended up pasting it into the wrong thread.
