My 18 month old son still breastfeeds- in addition to regular food. He mostly nurses when I pick him up from the baby sitters in the afternoon, and then when it is time to go to sleep at night. He also wakes up once a night, usually around the same time, to be nursed back to sleep. I was breastfed by my mother until I was 2 1/2, and I beleve that we have such a good relationship because of the closeness I endured during the breastfeeding. So far, I have enjoyed a similar closeness with my son. I have attempted to stop nursing, but have found that our (my son and I) life is much easier without such an abrubt change. I would like him to wean himself, when he is ready, but my husband thinks I should stop now. And it's not like I nurse him in public anymore, only in the privacy of our home, due to stares of onlookers who have their own opinions!!!

Thoughts???

I have a kind of sharp pain, like a bad cramp, on the right side, about where my ovary would be. This is the second day in a row that it hurts there. This happened last month too, and I got my period about 10 days, or maybe 2 weeks later. So does this cramping lean I'm ovulating? If not, then what is causing it?? If it is ovulation, I want to know cause we're trying to get pregnant, but having trouble because of my long, really irregular cycles.

I have a hairy back. I'm not gonna exaggerate and say its reeaally hairy cuz it's not. It's noticable, but it's not like 'OMG you're a monkey!' type thing. I know it's natural and whatnot, but I have to ask, guys, would you date a girl with a hairy back? Especially if it's whats on the inside that counts, not the outside? I'm thinking of getting a wax when I'm older...but I prolly won't. I think it kind of offends God when we try to change our bodies......hmmm...oh yea, I'm going to the beach soon.. should I invest in a tankini if I don't want a one peice?

Our buddy is a cop and he asked us if our baby would sleep with us in bed. We said "no" as we didn't want her to get use to being in bed with us. Also, my husband sleeps so soundly, he doesn't even know when he has rolled onto me. So I asked our friend why he was asking and he said the week before they got a call from a family where the dad accidentally rolled over on their 2 week old son and the baby died. He assisted in processing the scene and it really impacted him. The family was very upset and the dad couldn't handle what he had done.

Our daughter slept in her pack-n-play for two months in our room before moving into her room, but wasn't sure what other reasons there are to have your newborn/infant sleep in bed with you.
