Morgan is 21 months old.  She has had a cold for 2 weeks and began to throw
up and have a fever so I took her to the Pediatrician.
Her normal doctor is not in so we saw another one.  She was diagnosed with a
double ear infection.

My maternity leave is almost up.  I'll be back at work
starting January, while DH takes two month's "child bonding"
leave.  I should be able to work from home two days a week,
while DH takes care of DS2 here, meaning that DS2 will only

Ok, started out with cracked nipples, then mastitis.  Now I have a horribly
cracked and bleeding nipple on the same side as the mastitis.  Some people
thought I might have thrush, so I went to the doc who couldn't really tell,
but prescribed my Nystatin ointment anyways.  My ...

Hi Moms,
I just found this group and thought you might have the answer. I've
been nursing my second child for nine months now and realized I could
use some new nursing bras. Unfortunately, it seems they haven't

We had the best Xmas pressie of all - our 12wk old woke on Xmas morning
at 7am for the 3rd night running meaning he had gone roughly 7-7. We
were ecstatic. However, since then he has gone back to his usual waking
(usually just once) in the night.

This is the first time i have used this and I hope i every one had a
great christmas and that the new year will all bring us all a happy
year to come, but i need some advice on reducing my breastfeeds on
putting my daughter onto solids she is 5 1/2 momths. At the moment she

I've been having really intense night sweats for about a week now.  At first
I attributed it to the mastitis fever, but I am past that and am still
having them every night.  I vaguely remember a nurse mentioning sweats and
diuresis, but don't recall in what context.  Is this ...

I'm introducing DS2 to solids, but he's a bit different to DS1, except in that
their first solids were grass!  Thought I'd forego the rice cereal, as DS1 ate
so little of it.
Things DS2 HAS eaten:

My 4 month old DD is finally after a long battle accepting the bottle
with EBM,  Yesterday for the first time she drank 4ounces but she
seemed to be still be hungry after that.  I breast feed her for another
10 minutes and she seemed satisfied.

I woke up this morning with a very painful and throbbing right breast.  But
no hardness, lump, or redness.  Throughout the day, I have started to feel
much worse.  Now I have a fever of 102.  I still am pumping and bf'ing on
the right side, and it is soft and pliable, still not ...

Jessica is 13 months and really starting to develop a little vocabulary. I'm
pretty impressed actually, considering all the trouble with the ear
infections (she has her 9th right now, appt. w/ENT on 1/20).
Tonight I was nursing her before putting her to bed. She took a few sips,

I have this excruciating pain in my right breast.  Not the whole breast
hurts, but one area in kind of a line from top to nipple.  It almost feels
like an intense engorged pain, and all night it throbbed.  It's agony!  But
I don't feel a hard lump or anything to indicate a clog.  ...
