Yes she just cut a new tooth yesterday...not a molar though. I'm still putting her in her crib for the first sleep (around 7:30) and then when she wakes once I'm already in bed I bring her into bed...

I have thought of that...kind of like a double edged sword, damned if ya do, damned if ya don't. Guess I'll have to continue waiting out this phase and hoping it's over with soon.

Thanks for the reply, I will check out the link you shared. Yes, her dad can help some nights when he's not working graveyard shift and that's how we plan to wean. I'll be sleeping on the couch...

Congratulations! It seems that you have a perfectly normal, healthy baby!

I have co-slept and breastfed only my 11 month old since she was born. Recently I have transitioned her into a crib next to my bed since she is very active at night and has fallen out of bed 4 times...

I have just started pumping with a manual pump and am shocked by how little milk i'm getting out of it. My 7 month old usually only nurses 3-5 minutes at a time. Is she really only getting less than...

:huh I tried pumping with a manual pump for the first time the other day. It was painful and I pumped for as long as my hands could go for and all that work for nothing...3 drops of milk! I've never...

I have a 7 1/2 month old daughter who nurses every 2 hours still, IF NOT MORE! Day and night. She is eating foods now like banana, avocado, carrots, sweet potatoes but it hasn't deterred her nursing...
