I couldn't seem to find any information on this...if I sleep on my
stomach most of the night, is that negatively impacting my supply?
Thanks

Thought I'd post an update on William.  He will be 5 weeks old on Friday.
The child health nurse came yesterday for the first time.  The first
thing she commented on was how alert he was.  He also had his pointer
finger out and was tracking it - she said, "wow, he's advanced!"  :)

Hello all;
I hesitate to write this post, but this is a very knowledgeable group and I
trust the opinions and expertise that I can find here.
I have been profoundly grateful to have been able to stay home with my son,

Actually, it was both kids' WBVs today.
Rocky is now 12 pounds, 11 oz.  Yep.  Somehow,
between day 10, when he regained birth weight
of 9 lb. 2 oz. and today (a total of 25 days),

Is how much sleep I got last night, as I go off to work this morning for a
'break'. We tried breastfeeding. We tried nappy changes. We tried
homoeopathic teething remedy.  We tried Paracetamol. We tried having the
heater on and a warm wheatbag. Actually, I tried most of this; I ...

We (DH, DS and I) were planning to be away together Monday - Wednesday this
week, because I have a business trip, and DH had arranged to come too to
look after DS during the day. Unfortunately, for reasons I won't go into
(interested people can see the thread entitled Toddler ...

It's been some time since I've posted here, so I thought I should
re-introduce myself...
My name is Kathy...DH and I have one DD, 21 months.  With thanks to the
help I received here, I am still nursing DD 2-3 times per day.  We

Liam is now 22 days old and lately he has been inhaling a lot of air during
feeds. I am not sure what is wrong with his latch since I have pulled his
lips and relatched when it's really bad but nothing solves the air
issue..it's like he is losing suction (you can hear the clicks) ...

Help!  My brother is getting married in two weeks
and I was going to use this past weekend to buy
clothes.  BUT, I got sick and I'm still laid up
with this horrible virus that's keeping my temp

Hi was here a while ago breastfeeding Kamron soon to be back in October as
we finally are having our little girl! Anyway on with the post....

never showed us love, I was kept out of school to care for 4 ...

Hey everyone,
I'm a little concerned on how I'm going to manage pumping after the baby is
born.  For my first I was home so it wasn't an issue.  Now, I'm in a
significant role at work and usually don't have time to even eat!  I

Went to get DDs 4 month check up today (a little early actually, she will be
4 mo on the 4th) after examining her he told me well you can start solids
any time now. So I told him, no thank you I'm waiting until she is 6 months
old. Then he told me I had better get some iron ...

I consume a lot of milk products. My 10mo nursling never reacted badly
because of it. When I gave her some yogurt two days ago, she threw up
while sleeping. She also was coughing so I blamed the cough for it. I
gave her yogurt again last night and she was screaming kicking all

I never thought much about babies biting the nipple when nursing my son.
 He used his teeth sometimes and gave me a nip here and there, but
never anything terribly painful.  I nursed him for 19 mos and this was
never a problem.
