Babies! They change so quickly just when we have in fact decided that sleep promotes sleep (which at a certain ange and stage with certain babies it does) then they go and change! It seems to always be a compromise between our needs and their's. My 3 biological children stoped having sleeps arou

Tania, I always had an either or thing going on between my ovaries and my breasts. Ovulation = NO MILK for me. I had one cycle at 6 months when Isabelle threatened to sleep through and my milk dried up. She went on a feeding frenzy and I didn't ovulate again until she was 2 yrs old, when i wean

"every child is different !!" I agree wholeheartedly with you here Jo. Lets remember this is why 'one size fits all' advice so often makes mothers feel inadequate. Also, what works for a while may not work another time - even for the same child. So much is trial and error - and surrender! I fr

Thankyou all so much for your wonderful advice, she continues to hand express with little milk resulting. I've just organised an electric pump to take off the stress of pumping by hand, and have had good advice and reassurance from our lovely local ABA group leader. One question, this woman feels

Hi, Tania,   You are doing a great job in supporting your friend.  And she's doing a great job continuing to breasfeed despite all the hurdles that have been thrown in her way.  I think you are probably right that the pain of the cracked nipple and then the stress of worrying about how much

Hi Tania, Just a few quick thoughts: *3 weeks is very definitely a time for all women when milk supply drops/baby becomes unsettled/grows/whatever. It's always a time to watch. (as is 10 days, 6 weeks and often 3 months..) I'd make sure the mother is taking a galactagogue tea like fennel - any m

I have to respectfully disagree, all the "the more they sleep the more they sleep" advice to the contrary my daughter goes to sleep in record time the days she skips her nap and is up 2 hours past her bedtime if we let her nap too long or too late. It is sheer hell Every child is different,

Hello wise women!   Wanting a bit of advice if there's anyone who can help...   I'm supporting a friend with breast feeding at the moment, and starting to feel a bit out of my depth, even though I've been breastfeeing my own boys for nearly 6 years now, never really had any problems that were

ï Hi all just thought I'd throw in my 5 cents worth on the sleeping in the day subject. My first child refused to sleep during the day at all, unless I was wearing her in a sling (or we were at a NMAA meeting when she would make a liar of me and blissfully sleep in the capsule). When I became
