I'm confused on how much to feed Quinn.  He's now 6 weeks and yesterday
he had a feeding of 5 oz, and then 6 oz, and another 5 oz three hours
apart, and he didn't even spit up very much.  I think he would have
taken even more if I had let him.  Is it normal for a 6 week old baby ...

I don't get this, but it's been much less painful than normal.  Not that
I'm complaining, but I'm rather shocked.  Who would have thought that
the third tri would be the time that I suddenly start feeling so much
better?  Hah, it's happening right when the fatigue is starting to ...

How are you feeling, seven-monthers?  Enjoying your beautiful belly?
Any braxton hicks?  Aches and pains, or are you carrying on with life as
usual?  Everything lined up for the birth, maternity leave, found a
doula, taken a breastfeeding class, toured the birth center/hospital,

My baby girl is only 3 mos old (a little over 1 mo old gestation age).  Last
night she slept from 8 pm to 5 am.  Is that unusual for her to have slept
that many hours without waking up to be fed?

Yeah, I know tender breasts are part and parcel of pregnancy.  But at the
moment they are so tender that it really hurts to cuddle my 'mummy's girl'
toddler (she wiggles so much - at least I can tell DH to be gentle!).  I
don't remember them being this bad with no. 1 (but then I ...

Hi;

Reports: Schiffer Expecting Another Child
Associated Press

It has been six months since I gave birth to my son and my periods have not
started.  I stopped breast feeding about one month ago and I was never fully
breast feeding( it was partial, the majority be made up by formula milk). Is
