My first baby is due in October and I really, really, really want to bf. I've been reading up online, and am considering whether I might take a class b4 he even arrives, but can anyone recommend a good guide to bf'ing to have on hand for issues like low milk production, sore nipples, detecting babies allergies, clogged ducts, mastitis... you catch my drift:)
Please and thankyou:)View Thread
This morning she started a peek a boo game with her boobies, that is what she tells him to call them. What should I do? I have talked to her but she refuses to listen.View Thread
My name is Vanessa and I am breastfeeding my youngest son and hes 8months now.
Although as of last night I have had a problem with my right breast.I woke up today and it was hurting so bad,then tonight like 2 hours ago I've noticed that I have a rock hard lump or spot in my right breast and if u push on it at all it hurts really bad.
But I can still produce a bit of milk from it.My son has to suck pretty hard now to.So I think I have some curdled milk in my right side and I would like to know if any of you can give me some advice on how to get it out.View Thread

My son is currently almost 9 months on the 15th of this month. I have not had a period at all yet. I still breastfeed him only a little bit still and have been for the last few months. I am currently feeding him once at night/early AM - at like 5/6 AM - and the he eats a little sometimes maybe not at all at like 4. I am trying to ween off completely. I am worried that my period has not returned at all yet. Nothing at all. I am on the mini pill too for birth control. I would like my cycle to get back in sync and be normal again (then again not complaining I am not having it!
) But is this normal of anyone's experience? Do I need to be completely weened off? I asked the doctor when my baby was 6 months old and she said most likely that was the reason but I was feeding him much more then. Everything I have read states that once you drop most feedings you should have your period return and I must have something wrong with me? Any help would be so greatly appreciated!!
