"Hi Aby's Mom,It is very common for babies to eat at the breast all night. Some people would say not to let the baby do that. I believe it is up to each mom. I co-slept and fed my daughter on demand. Meaning if she wanted it, I gave it to her.As…"

"My daughter got her first yeast infection, she is one.
Is there anything I need to do with the cloth diapers to clean them better?
Do you think she is not being changed enough and the moisture caused the infection?"

She slept in the same bed with me and dad until 11 months and then we moved her to the crib. Then dad would get up in the middle of the night for 1 month until she learned to sleep…"

"The car, dressing rooms, bathroom (though, hardly ever), in the open if I have someone to block me and my nursing cover, & the airplane with the blanket between my seat and the seat next to me.
I stopped nursing recently and I miss it very much."

Dimples said… i already stopped for about three days now I don't think my milk is still being made... but i never thought of that because i work at a catholic nursing home and the nuns don't believe in woman having children... they gave me a hard way to go in my last trimester

Barrett's Mommy said…
I think I'm going to get that tea that you're talking about. I am pumping every two hours, and the supply has gone up definitely from the beginning. I don't pump when I get home though, and I think I'm going to have to start doing that after he's done nursing, or at least do it in the middle of the night consistently, which I currently don't do.

The pumping at work is going well. I have my little room to go to and can remote into my own computer when I'm in there to still be productive. --I have to say, it's the weirdest thing to be getting basically topless at work every day!
I'm getting about 12 ounces a day, which was as much as he was drinking at daycare, so I am holding steady. He's kicking it up though, so I'm going to have to try to pump more often to keep up with him, since they want to start trying 4 oz at a time with him instead of the 3 oz that he's been taking. They said that he still seems hungry now...
