I was flicking through Hale's today and googling a bit, contemplating
the risk-benefit analysis of fluconazole (diflucan) for ductal thrush

Hi.  My wonderful daughter just had her 1st birthday and we are still nursing

Someone once posted a list of all the nutirents in breastmilk and their
quantities butI can't find it anywhere, does anyone know where it could
be?  It was like the breakdown you get on packets of food, said how

Where are these actual creditable sources that say that oatmeal will
increase milk supply? I brought it up at a LLL Meeting when a Mom was
looking for tips and the room dropped silent instantly and stared at me like
I had just farted. They believe this is completely a myth. Some, ...

What are the benefits of delaying solids till 6 months or longer when
we don't have any known food allergies in our family?
Is there any evidence of delayed solids and less occurance of obesity
in kids when they grow up? (the sentence didn't sound right but I hope

When do you increase solids from 1x/day?  We started DD on solids when
she was over 6 months.  We only give her about 1-2 tbsp 1x/day about 1

Hope you all had a good festive break.  I was lucky enough to be given some
chinese medicine as a Christmas present and I wondered if any of you guys
knew if it was safe to take whilst b/fing (DS is almost 18 months old).
