congratulations!

what i did was offer water and what, where i live, is called "baby tea". It is blend of anis seeds, fennel seed and caraway seeds. In Northern Europe you can buy it in bags in...

Hi there. I have coslept with my son for 4 years, until January this year and can highly recommend it.

My favourite info source is this one here http://cosleeping.nd.edu/
so comprehensive and...

at 10 weeks i remember counting the days, as I had promised myself i would at least make it to 3 months. the pain was so bad I bf with a cloth diaper to bite on while the tears streamed. My husband...

so maybe your ped is right and your son is simply not interested yet? if you were not worried and your ped is not, unless it is your husband just forget it. say thanks for asking and movet he...

O my heart goes out to you. I nurse a 4 1/2 year old but he generally just nurses once to go to sleep only some nights when he is upset or has bad dreams he still nurses more. And I have no baby to...

Agree with PP, what you need to watch out for is salt and artificial sweeteners and flavours. Until age two their kidneys are not fully developed to deal with salt. And the whole artificial stuff...

sage leaves are often sold as green (fresh) leaves in the greens/ veggies section. Or try a pharmacy / drug store. Sage tea is often used for sore throats, coughs etc.
Also I found by accident once...

Hi Doria,
how old is your baby? How often does she/he wet a diaper? How often does he nurse? Is he exculsivly bf?

i have not heard of that before but when my son was under a year he loved chewing, licking or playing with whole raw onions, maybe it was soothing for the teeth? I have always wonderned what he liked...

this makes me curious - so is the left boob the dominant one if you are right handed?

My left boob too always has been bigger than the right, less fatty as PP described, and since bf the...

i can relate, and feel your pain!
my son bit me to bleeding point more than once and the pain was just the pits. But we still nurse, he is now 4 1/2 yrs.
What helped us were two things. I wore a...

I also did both - sticks, chunks whatever and whole peeled apples, plus puree. I always felt it was easy to not overfeed if I read his cues. first by following his eyes and also asking him directly:...

whist I am a total believer in co-sleeping (did it for 4 years until this past January and sometimes we still do) I don't think this one here is good argument to use :)



because roe deer do...

fruit juice is indeed a bad idea for several reasons. The acidity even of "mild" fruit can give her indigestion and a red bum (where poop has contact), fruit juice instantly raises the blood sugar...

i did a combination of bf and formula at that age, and similar to what you describe he was not constipated but he did have trouble pushing it out or looked constipated if you know what I mean but in...

teeth are definitely not a reason to wean. Mine is 4 1/2 and has all his teeth. He has learned not to bite and has not done so in the last 2 1/2 yrs. We went through a bad phase each time he had...

:clap

with us the processed food came once he was visiting with grand ma for the afternoon or going out with dad for pizza or other junk food i would not have in the house. And also with day care - they...

i only noticed a bad odor once my son began to eat processed foods, and more meat. While he ate little to no meat, and home made only there was hardly any odor. Now he is four and his poop smells...

o I am so sorry this happended to your son and you.
Something similar happened to my son when he was 3 yrs old. I was very very upset one because I thought he would stop nursing, and two felt so...

What you describe sounds normal, many wake more often, some less.
I remember the nights form 6 to 10 months as difficult, and hard, but not actually how often he woke. One time I actually went tot...

glad to be of any help.
BTW mine has done that several times in the last 6 months - stops for 3-5 days and then asks again. so when he recently stopped again I was not as sad as the previous times...

what you describe is very simialr to our situation. My son is four years and three months and since several months now almost only ever nurses a little before going to sleep, for a short time and I...

just wanted to add, i agree with PP it must be to do with getting milk t flow, also for a while at that age he used to head butt my boobs or pound them with his fist, and until I saw lambs doing this...

Dear Tresa2steppin,

i have read all your post re this and to be honest if we met in real life I would say go to a doctor - and believe me I am not a friend of the medical profession and mostly...
