Family Forum / Pregnancy / Breastfeeding / March 2004

My dd is turning to 9 months next week. I started solid on her when she
turned 6 months, and start with rice cereal. She loves it very much even
now. However, I start feeding her with meat when she turned to 8 months,
started with Turkey. She seemed to be ok; however, this week, ...

I know I don't post much these days, but now I really need you guys for
reassurance, encouragement, I don't know what. Sorry, this could get
long and will probably be incoherent. I'm pretty tired.
Last week my mum was in a car accident home in Australia. She's ok but

Jaden had his 6-month check up two days ago.  He's gone from 15 # 12 oz
at 4-months-and-10-days to 16 # 14 oz at 6 months.  Until this check
he'd always been at the 75th percentile for weight, now he's 50th.
Naturally it brought comment from the nurse practitioner.  (I know, I

So I make to mypostpartum check 12 weeks late (I've had incredibly bad

there are always alternatives.

Just thought I'd unload about the gathering I went to the other day.  A
friend's 2-month-old was there and I came away feeling so odd after seeing
how he was handled.  He was asleep in a bouncy seat when we got there, then
was laid on a blanket after a few minutes' dandling when he ...

At the tender age of just 10 weeks, our little bean has discovered the
television.  He's not just watching, but cooing in response.
<sigh>
I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Dh and I went to one of his co-workers homes for a gathering the other day.
His co-worker's daughter and her husband were there with her newly turned
1yo.  We had our kids there as well.  I was pretty sure the baby was
breastfed because mom disappeared for a little while after he ...

Did any of your bfed babies sleep in a crib/away from you at nights?
How did you manage that?
Thanks.

I'm sure this has been covered here before, so I hope you'll forgive the redundancy --
My little bean is 10 weeks old and about 11 pounds or so.  I've tried a couple of different carriers (Snugli, EuroRider) and a "SlingRider" sling, and loathe all of them.
The carriers feel like ...

As of today, I've officially been nursing for two years!  My little
sweetheart is two today!  Two years ago I was in labor, and this
