Family Forum / Pregnancy / Breastfeeding / June 2006

my toddler was forced to wean at 17 months when my milk abruptly vanished
when I became pregnant (we were only doing 1 feed per day, so it probably
just wasn't enough to maintain supply when combined with pregnancy).
With that behind us, I always considered that whatever milk I ...

DS is almost four weeks old, and I had been planning to introduce
bottles at 4-5 weeks, but I'm not sure how to know whether
breastfeeding is truly sufficiently "established."  He certainly is
gaining fine now, but his latch sometimes is a bit off, and he still

My daughter 19 months will not eat anything that is mushy. In general
she prefers finger food.

Just a quick question for all you moms out there!
My daughter is just over 6 months now, and I rarely feed her by bottle,
however I still need to express milk (or I'll blow up).  At what age is

My daughter is 6 months old and started solid food a few weeks ago.
She had been starting to show a lack of interest in nursing prior to
starting the food, and I was advised to begin the
cereal/veggies....Anyhow, she currently does anything possible to avoid

I was at our local YMCA today and in the pool when my 1 yr old son became
hungry.  My daughter was having a swimming lesson at the time and I didn't
