I have had this yeast infection for two months on and off. I need to
make a dietary change. Foods either feed the yeast or give my baby gas.
Has anyone successfully gotten rid of yeast through a special diet?
What did you eat? Meal ideas?

Going back to my DD and MIL situation, I believe that MIL has clinical
depression, I am not a doctor by any means but the symptoms do match.
Could it be that DD is picking this up and that is why she does not
want to be with her?  She suffers from Parkinson's Disease and this is

Emily is now 9 months.  She eats everything she can get her hands on.  She's
happy and healthy, but has no teeth.  Not even a hint of a tooth.  Is this
abnormal, or just part of the varying degree of "normal"?
Also, she still only weighs 17 lbs, despite her good eating.  I'm not

DD tweaks my nips and it is soooo irritating!  Her heart breaks when I
don't grant access... Any advice on how to stop it?

I don't really have a problem that needs fixing, but I would like to
hear some other people's stories, if they have had similar experiences
to mine, just to get a sense of how long my current situation might
last.

I finally went and bought a new bra only to discover my boobs seemed to
have disappeared!
I knew they would go southwards due to bf'ing, but not actually reduce
in size. I suppose a bit of it is the weight loss, but not that much.

I don't know how many people here remember me--DS just turned 3.5 this past
Friday (9/8), and he has also just gone through 15 nights without nursing
(he'd dropped down to bedtime-only nursing and, more recently, roughly every
other night).  I think he's through with nursing.  It's

OK - all the stats :-)
The boys just turned 5mo old.  They are still nursed on demand.  I work
full-time.  They have been drinking more then I can pump for the last 4
weeks. I pump twice at work if I come home at lunch to nurse and three times

This has been a long time coming but it's finally here! Not sure which
hospital, but it's in Perth and has been open since 25th August.
There was an article on it in last week's Who magazine but my copy got
recycled due to a big clean-up prior to a whole lot of family coming over

Any results of that second test? I've been thinking about you. Best
wishes.

Is there anyone out there that hated breastfeeding at first?  DD is 2
weeks old and I really  hate breastfeeding.  My anxiety starts to rise
about 1 hour before each feed because I know she's going to be hungry
soon.  Every time she fusses the tears well up in my eyes because I

I've heard that there are no false positives, but I'm praying that is
incorrect.  I had a daughter in December, and have been waiting for my cycle
to start this month so I can have my IUD put in, on the advice of you good
people here.  Well, I'm 10 days late.  Except for one ...

My baby has entered a wonky feeding schedule.... She's 7 months old,
and while she has one or two meals a day of solids, I still nurse her.
But she has decided to wake every hour on the hour from about 3 am on
until she wakes for good at 8 am. I'm so sleepy of course I don't even

Jessica's been getting quite a bit of tummy ache and slight constipation the
last few days. The HV suggested it might be because I've stopped taking
Fenugreek, and that's the only diet change I've had.
What she said next confused me a bit. She said warm boiled water might help

My internet, or rather access to Google has been out almost since DS
was born 7 weeks ago and I've been dying to get info on this.   He's
much more of a snacker then feeder, and for the most part I don't mind,
but nights are driving me nuts.   For instance, he'll go down around
