So we've been over the heart murmer, the supplimenting for weight gain (she
averages 22oz a day atm from birth weight to last tuesday) and my incision
healing troubles.  My Dad & Step-mom decided to fly us all out to Texas for
a 10 day visit.  The problem is that they are not the ...

That buttery smell of breastmilk breath. Seriously, I just love that smell.
It's very sweet and rich smelling. Guess the flower baby's breath didn't get
it's name from just anywhere. ;)

Seeking some advice re. breastfeeding
Our new 7 do baby girl is learning to breastfeed. She is able to latch on
and feed  - the problem though is her times of feeds.
The last few nights .. she has been awake pretty much all night feeding ..

I now have two large-ish lymph-filled blisters on one areola because I
positioned the pump wrongly earlier and got too caught up in work to stop to
check the slight twinges I was getting. What should I do? Burst them?!
I've just nursed from that side, which was not that sore but I ...

My 6 mo is exclusively bf. She gets thawed ebm 8oz per day. Rest of the
time she nurses. She always had vinegery smelling sour poops. Since
she's gaining well I didn't think it's a problem. Well is it?
Thanks.

My DD (3) is having some major behavioral issues right now, which I believe
are indirectly related to this pregnancy.  I'm going out of my mind, because
I just can't figure out the best way to handle it.
Background; We mainly practice AP.  DD still nurses and cosleeps.  I am also

At the ped's today, Lorelei was right back in at 12 lbs. 6 oz., just
like 13 days ago.
The doctor was concerned, but did not insist on a supplement today as
there is no sign of dehydration or other problems.

I have a chance to go to an out of town workshop in a few weeks, which
happens to be in a place that we have friends who haven't gotten to meet
Alli yet, so DH and I are planning to fly up for the weekend. It's about an
hour, non-stop flight. This will be the first time we've ...

A month ago I posted this:

Since there appears to be a growing number of people using Live Journal
these days, I just wanted to mention that we have an mkbreastfeeding
community set up.  This is  not an open community but only accessible to
those who have verifiable cross-references.  More details are ...

I just can't stop myself from reading it even though I am so busy with
work etc...

Hi all- I've been mostly lurking here and very occasionally posting
since 10/2002 when I first was pregnant with my now 20-month old son.
You have all provided so much good advice and encouragement.  I don't
think I would still be nursing him now if it weren't for all of you.

My 6mo used to nurse like it's business. Well not anymore. She's more
interested in the surroundings. She nurses like I have tea. A sip, look
around, smile, chat and another sip etc.. And she wants to nurse every
2 hours. Any tips on having her nurse longer less often?

How goes the thrush battle?  Hope you are feeling better.
