We have a 6 month old baby girl who has been the perfect baby from the
beginning. She began sleeping through the night almost immediately. She

we switched to formula. She took the changes in stride, and now is on

Okay, we've already had the delayed clamping conversation.  You really
don't have to tell me again.  :)  I *hear* you on that part.
A friend of mine is also pregnant (funny how that happens) and is
looking to donate rather than bank (totally  her call on that matter)

Was just wondering if i came to the wrong site with all that hate mail about
oprah?

Our 3.5 month old has (just today) suddenly developed a cough.  Poor little
guy coughs 3-5 times each time...  He was congested for the past few weeks

My baby is already 5 months old, but there are still people who think
that I am pregnant. I have lost about 30 pounds after delivery, though
I am still 15 pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight. My tummy still looks
quite big, almost like 4-5 months pregnant. Is it possible that my

I'm due to have my  baby in about 4 months, I have the brown line on my
tummy already, I thought this came later like one month before.

I need more calcium but really hate milk and yogurt. Anyone got any

I'm having some pain along my c-section scar - for those who have had a
subsequent pregnancy after c-section, did you have this?  Is it normal?  I
want to convince myself that it's just stretching but it still worries me.
I'm going to call my OB tomorrow just to check.
