Any chance they have Dora books? My DD knows all the characters from her books but has never seen the show. Not sure about the other things. I feel sentimental about Mr. Rogers as well... That's why more »

Trouble, blah. I guess you probably want to check for yourself, but I took the OTC meds for yeast infection when I was pregnant. (The creams or capsules you insert, not the oral meds. Not sure if t more »

Very wise about going from infant to toddler room. I thought it would be terrible and I was all upset, but DD was totally fine. Unfortunately, we now have the opposite where she is going to the presc more »

We did that - I think pediatricians' offices are used to it, so they won't be surprised by your call. Ours only does certain days/times - they were at 5 PM or something. Also, we got recommendations more »

ALS - I might have misread your post - are you pumping after every feeding? If so, I definitely agree with the previous posters that it would contribute to being over full. I would only pump at this more »

ALS - maybe 2-3 weeks to stabilize supply? That said, everyone seems different - the group is a great idea. Also, I pumped a couple of times during those first couple of weeks when I just couldn't s more »

Stef - you sound like you are having a completely normal reaction. I'm just writing to say I'll be thinking of you. I think there must be support groups for parents. That seems like it would be the more »

Yay, ALS!! So happy for you and your new baby. Hope all is well! I ended up with an induction, which was easier for our older DD, but our plan was an immediate alert to grandma (90 minutes away) and more »

Thanks for all the good ideas, CT, Kar, misslily, and everyone else! And yes, it's good to read that we are not alone! This is bizarre, but one thing that's been helping me lately is the TV show Dani more »

CT, I love when you weigh in. :) i don't get the sense that antone on this thread *wants* a tear-free family. It's just the *how* of giving consequences that's so maddening. Many of the logical con more »

Forum Post: Nursing a newborn around a chest obsessed toddler in tow....
I would hate to have to use a nursing cover all the time, but different people have different skill levels with the darn things. I find them to be awkward and hot, plus useless as the baby gets older more »

Poppy - I feel for you! Setting limits at night is hard. Our DD also likes to add the emotional trauma/guilt factor! Hang in there. DS is a chunk of baby! 11 pounds at his one month this week. Ma more »
