Man I miss my lazyman cabbage rolls.View Thread
She had her 4 month shots today, and the health nurse said to keep going with what works and didn't seem to be too worried about her teeth rotting overnight once they come in. I'd still like to change things up before she gets teeth.
Has anyone else gone this long breastfeeding to sleep and how was the battle to change? How did it go for those that stopped swaddling? Any little pointers that may make our process just a little easier? TIAView Thread

The fact that the gasps and twitches were so rhythmical is freaking me out. Anyone else experience this?View Thread



I started pumping with a manual pump at about 4 weeks, about 3 oz three to four times a week in the mornings. I've been using these servings to try to appease her at night if she drains me.
For the last 3 or so weeks, she feeds well in the morning and afternoon. About supper time, she starts fussing literally every 1/2 hour until I can finally get her into her crib asleep. The great thing about this cluster feeding is she has started sleeping upwards of 7-9 hours in a row. The downside is I don't usually have enough left by bedtime to make her full to go to sleep. It's very frustrating and I have to make sure I pump in the morning to have a bottle for night.
In the last 3 weeks, I've weighed her twice. She gained 9.5oz in 8 days, then 10oz in 6 days. She's obviously not starving, even though at times she thinks she's wasting away.
I figured it was a growth spurt at 6 weeks, but she's still in it if it was. Is anyone else having troubles with their milk not ramping up with their babies appetite?View Thread

She's been a very strong girl right from the get go, but isn't this a little early?? She's growing up too fast for me! She hasn't even done a social smile yet and she's rolling over lol.View Thread


The nurses at the hospital and public health unit both said just water to clean it, but her Doctor said we needed to clean it with some alcohol cause it was getting mucky.
