Does anyone know of a connection between weaning and development of
migraines?   I'm 34, and had mild to moderate migraines about 10 years
ago that in hindsigh were clearly stress related.  None since then
until DD was 8 months old, and cutting back on her milk.  I had

I am having a problem with supply. My son was born 3 weeks early and
is now 8 weeks old. I have been having problems breastfeeding from the
beginning. Know problems are high palette and weak sucking. The
hospital grade pump is stronger than he is. I have been on Fenegreek

I'm going to have to have a wisdom tooth extracted in the near future and am
wondering about the compatibility of pain killers they'll use and
breastfeeding.
Right now I am not sure what exact drugs are going to be involved. I have

Hi, all -- I'm starting the nursing saga all over again...  ;)  I've
got a 4-day old, and while he's certainly getting plenty of milk and
his latch looks OK from the outside, he's giving me really bad cracked
nipples.  The latch-on is agonizing and the rest of the session isn't

I comprehend your problems.   I started taking ginseng from www.ginsenghealth.net
and it has relieved the problems you have experienced.

Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts or opinions about this...
DD2, 4 days short of 6 months, is exclusively breastfed, still, and still going strong.
Her diet consists of breast milk and then more breast milk.  We have slowly been trying, the last week or so, to introduce ...

Shiny is two, and still nursing. She'd gotten down to about 3 feeds a
day, but a tummy bug has set her to nursing semi-constantly, and since
she's mostly not biting me, I'm letting her.
In early March, I was doing some research and found a connection

Today AF returned, almost 16 months after the birth of dd2.  I would
like to go on the pill, but not the mini-pill because of the spotting
issues associated with that.  Has anyone had experience with taking a
combination pill while bf a toddler?  Will it dry up my milk at this

Hey all.  I used to roam these ways years ago when I had my
babies <sigh>  They're big girls now.
Anyway, wanted to pass this site along to all for you to
bookmark and have for information.  I still see hoaxes in my

Apparently the tabanasun fruit from southern Guyana has extremely good
immune system agents, and the juice can be used in babies milk.

Don't know where to go (other than the doc, obviously) to find a possible
answer to this question.
DD2 is 5 months old now.  Everything's been fine.  She's nursing only, I'm
taking that micronor (sp? - mini-pill) and haven't had an actual period

Emily is 15 months now.  Still not walking, but standing without holding
onto anything for a few seconds at a time, crawls up the stairs, crawls off
the couch, pushes around her walker, all unassisted.  But my doc is still
insisting we bring her to pediatric physical therapy ...

Just thought I'd share this - I find it rather amusing.  DD 15 months is
still keen to nurse often, but she must have something to hold.  She'll ask
to nurse, get very excited when I say ok, and then quickly run and grab
something to hold while she nurses, ie a block, teddy bear, ...

DD Ilona is now 19 months still BF, I am having a bit of problems with
her eating.  When she turned one I pretty much switched her to adult
food,  I normally do not make special food for her she eats what we
eat, unless it is something spicy or seafood etc.  Up to about a week
