I don't think there's any sanitation advantage to putting the milk in freezer bags. That would just be an extra step for you. I think taking it in bottles would be fine, and that would cut out any...

Ah, I had forgotten about the go-gurts. Thanks for the tip.

As for throwing in the towel, I did honestly try. She wouldn't take formula. She wouldn't even take breastmilk from a bottle or cup. I...

Thanks mommal,

I had thought about cheese and yogurt. We did yogurt today, although she wasn't so sure about it. Mostly I think because she likes to feed herself with her fingers and you can't...

She just turned 1 a few weeks ago.

Hello all,

D just turned one and is on the mend from her second in a series of two surgeries 10 days ago. All went well, and once she gets past the recovery stage, I'd like to work on weaning. My...

Thanks for your input Meg and everyone else. I appreciate it. I was reluctant to talk about it, but I do hope that others can learn and be aware of this potential issue.

Sprocket--yes, I know...

Momma,

I did look into that book, but forgot to order it and couldn't get it through my library. At this point, I'm not sure that I could actually get the book and read it before I'm ready to...

Hello,

I had a thread on here a little while ago talking about some problems i was having with nursing. I'd mentioned things like wanting to vomit when I nursed, feelings of disgust, etc. I've...

In my experience my daughter has gone through phases where she's not wanted to stay on the breast for very long at a given feeding. I think it especially happened when she was about tje.age of your...

Hi beaubaby,

I'm sorry that you're having to deal with this. You could present the facts that every major medical organization recommends breastfeeding for at least a year (AAP) and in many cases...

I'm sorry. My family isn't anti-breastfeeding, but as I'm the first to really do it for any length of time, they're just not really people I can turn to for support.

I know that it's hard to...

Yes, totally agree with amysmom on the manual. My lactation consultant recommended holding off on investing in a pump until it was closer to the time I was going back to work. Many stores have...

I've had a few threads about some issues I've had with nursing, mostly that it makes me pretty unhappy for a number of reasons and I'm doing my best to hold on to the year mark. At first, I had...

If you're going back to work a double electric pump is a must. Lots of people, including me , like the medela pump in style advanced but there are other models too. You definitely don't want to heat...

thank you both.

I think my main concern about the sitter isn't so much the sitter's credentials. We put an ad on care.com and I've had responses from lots of what look to be good people so far,...

D is 10 months old and was in daycare from 10 weeks until she was about 8 months, and during that time she got pumped BM through a bottle when she was there. I've been at home with her for about the...

Mymp, I don't look at sex as dirty or perverted, that's the thing. I'm a very sex-positive person. My point in this thread is that I'm experiencing very irrational emotions in reaction to this.

Hi Joe's mom,

I have read about DMER, but I had the impression that it was more momentary than what I'm experiencing.

mammi, I do sometimes read, too. And it does help.

debbers,
I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one who experiences this. The thing is, though, that it doesn't make me want sex with my husband. It's like it's the opposite. I wish I could try to...

So she's discovered my face. She'll reach into my mouth and yank on my lips, reach into my nose and pull on my nostrils, etc. She actually started doing this occasionally a while ago, but now it...

Congratulations!

Thanks, all.

I know that I've read that women had sexual arousal feelings while BFing. In general, though, what I've read made these feelings sound pleasurable. Like you said, Lizeckel, nature's...

So I've written some posts about feeling really unhappy while breastfeeding. Feeling like I was doing something sick and perverted and wanting to vomit. I kind of realized yesterday where that's...

I have the PISA and it's been great for me. I think what makes a big difference is where and when you will be pumping and what you will be doing while you're pumping. I mostly pumped at work at my...

I'm no expert, but I would think that what you're giving him would facilitate more chewing and mouth movements than purees would.
