    Baby carrier recommendations

    I love my Baby Bjorn too! It is the only carrier my son likes and since he HATES his car seat, the Bjorn is a saviour for shopping. I got mine off of ebay for $24 and it was practically new. I could not do anything besides walk with him. The bounce factor was way too much for me. Now he...

    It's been a year already!!!

    I keep hearing it goes by so fast but it certainly does not feel that way when my 3 1/2 month old has a cold :-) Good luck with the rotation. I have never been able to do a Cathe rotation. I have not done a thing besides walk and so far do not feel bad about it at all!

    Weight loss and breastfeeding

    It did not happen like that to me. I lost all the pounds I gained while pregnant and another 6 by the 6th week post-partum. At the same time, my son has now nearly doubled his weight since birth and is not quite 4 months yet. I am 7 pounds less than I was right before I got pregnant but...

    I know....but didn't want too

    So sorry to hear that! But congratulations on your little boy! Same thing just happened to my neighbor but only one day before delivery. She was furious. We also did not find out the sex of our baby and my doctor's office was great about it. However, I had to have an additional u/s done at...

    Do you/did you let your baby cry to sleep?

    I am headed to Amazon.com now to look for that book. I heard about "The Baby Whisperer" too and might check it out. Hagan is going to sleep really well at night (down at 8pm, up for a 5-minute nursing at 4am and back down until 8am) but naptimes are still a nightmare. I am trying my best to...

    Personal Question

    Hagan is only 2 3/4 months but I have not had a menstrual cycle yet. I am exclusively breastfeeding. My SIL who breastfeed each of her three at least one year never got her cycle until she completely weaned them. I can only hope. Can I add something though? I have had so much discharge...

    I am so upset

    Congratulations! How exciting for you! I only have one child (a boy) but get horrible comments from people as well about when I am going to have another. He is only 2 1/2 months old! And fact is, we do not plan to have another so when I tell people that, they act devastated that we won't...

    Do you/did you let your baby cry to sleep?

    Thanks so much everyone! I am sure it is a combination of many things. I do think sometimes he gets so tired that he might need to fuss a little to relieve himself. He also has reflux but is on medication that has helped a ton. I am not going to worry about "spoiling". I will continue...

    hiccups

    Not that I know much about where the diaphrahm is but my SIL had her top two ribs broken by her first child while in the womb so if they are close, your baby could be hitting it! Hope they are gone for good soon. Nothing more frustrating than hiccups!

    Do you/did you let your baby cry to sleep?

    I do still feed on demand. He was 14lbs and 4 ozs. at 2 months so I think he is getting plenty :) It is great if he just falls asleep while nursing which is what he usually does at night. He just sometimes will not even let me just rock him, he cries no matter what I do and I know he is full...

    Do you/did you let your baby cry to sleep?

    Ah yes,I have finally figured out the different cries and fusses and know that he is tired and just will not go to sleep. And I know the screaming in the crib is just anger (it is the same as the screaming in his car seat-he hates it). I wish he would take a pacifier for both reasons but he...

    Do you/did you let your baby cry to sleep?

    I have rocked or nursed Hagan to sleep since we brought him home (he is about 2 1/2 months now) but was told by my doctor at his 2 month appointment to stop. She said the last thing he needs to remember is the crib, not me or my breast. Everyone else (SIL, friends, former co-workers) has told...

    How long to lose linea nigra?????

    Wow, I never would have thought it might be around that long! I am going to breastfeed as long as I can (well, probably not more than a year) as well so if that has anything to do with it, oh well. I wish I had time to do ab work as well. I have lost more weight than I gained but my tummy...

    Cravings!!

    I did not crave anything while pregnant but sure wish I would have got my fill of my favorite spicy foods because now I am breastfeeding and no matter how much spicy stuff the booger got in the womb, he can not handle any of it now!!! :-( Hmm, maybe I did crave Spaghettios!
