I just recently resumed my monthly self-breast exam.  I find that my boobs
just don't feel like they used to!  (well, duh)  But they feel so lumpy and
strange - how would I recognize anything "abnormal"?  Does the lumpiness go

Greetings all:
I have a seven week old son, and I've got him sleeping 5 - 7 hours a night

So we went to see the doctor today for a sort-of introductory visit for
the baby (since we had a home birth).  DH went too.  This is just a
Family Practice doctor and DH has had good experiences with him, but I
had some not as good experiences with him...  Peter is almost 2 weeks

My gay son was cock fed instead of breast fed. Could that be why He's a
fat faggot today??

Hi all!  I am still pumping twice a day, but at this point am only able to
pump about 4-5 ounces at a time.  I have plenty of frozen milk to last us
till at least 9 months.  What I am wondering is, how superior is fresh milk
over frozen?  Is there still a benefit to Emily getting ...
