Family Forum / Pregnancy / Breastfeeding / December 2006

I waited about 3 weeks after the last feed before posting that post, as I
continued to offer for a while and was only then I was convinced it wasn't
going to happen, but, today I had a bath with the kids, I was just
investigating to see if I still had milk and she saw and climbed ...

When I am pumping as usual, I found out the milk is PINK.
I noticed that blood is pumping out ,blood is not from nipple.
Right side, left side is fine
Anyone can help me?

My baby is now 6 months old. She only wants a Boob-feed. She used to
take the bottle with my expressed milk upto 3 months.  Then, she
refused to take the bottle.  We tried different nipples, techniques,
different people, different places, sippy-cups, cup, spoon; but she

As we all know babies who cannot sleep are very difficult on the
parents who naturally worry for their offspring. Plus the fatigue which
naturally ensues reduced the tollerance and clouds the vision of Mum
and Dad.

Found this on the BBC world service website this morning.

(What really struck me was the comment that 93% of the women in the
study started out breastfeeding, and at 6 months over 50% were still

I'm just wondering...
I'm aware that everyone is from every corner of the globe, and IIRC, there's
not too many that are from around where I am, but maybe there's a few I've
missed that are around often, and here's to hoping there's a few lurkers...

  My baby tends to eat between 80 ml and 130 ml.  The problem is that
when she eats less there is milk left in the bottle.  So far we've been
throwing everything out that she doesn't finish.  Since it's breast
milk I hate to waste it.  Can you put any leftover milk in the bottle

Well, only one item on the buffet line. DD is 5 months now, still
co-sleeping. We like it for the most part. I'd planned to transition
her whenever she cut back to 1-2 nursings per night. She's reverse
cycling so still eating a lot at night, but it had settled down.  In

I'm delurking to vent.
E is 13 months old. She seems to have gone back to her newborn days
with respect to night nursings. I can't sleep with her hanging on to
the boob, and as a result I'm resentful and angry and just generally

IIRC, Irene had put a link showing ideas on how to make your own wrap...
I found here: http://www.mamatoto.org/documents/MakeAWrap.pdf a basic home
made wrap that you just buy the material and go, and it also has a few ways
to wear it.

DD2, 1 week old today, has been nursing just fine.  No problems at all.  I
feed her on demand and she does eat well.
Yesterday, I was sitting at the table nursing and I realized that the side
she was not feeding on was leaking.  (Yes, I know this is normal) and I

DD is 11 months old and still mostly breastfed.  She kind of eats solids at
times, but is really more interested in just playing with it - which is
fine.  She's very healthy and happy - and I love feeding her, but while I'm
happy, I'm not healthy.  I've been feeling sick and flat ...

I haven't done any other research on this, but wow!!!

Kivi and I have finally weaned (I think anyway).  She turns 5 years old
on Tuesday.
I have been weaning her for the last six months or so.  Generally, it
was so gradual and gentle, that I don't think she really noticed.  But

I got very good response for my first posted question. So I am posting
this one to see if there is any Moms who have the same experience.
Some time when I nurse my baby, she moves so much. Her whole body
moves. This makes it very hard to nurse. I thought it may be becuase
