I have what my public health nurse calls "abundance," meaning that I produce way too much milk. I was told my supply would settle down after a couple of weeks, but it's been five weeks and nothing has changed. If I don't feed my daughter or express about five ounces of milk every two hours, they swell up and then gush milk - I literally get little jets of milk that soak through breast pads like nothing. I have to wear hand towels in my bra! Additionally, whenever I feed my daughter, I can hear her coughing and choking as she goes, because the milk comes out too fast for her to swallow it properly. This leads to multiple interruptions in feeding, and thus a very frustrated baby.

So, my question is this: I want to continue breastfeeding exclusively, but I can't deal with this anymore. Is there any way to decrease my milk supply to a manageable level, or am I just dreaming?

My son Rajiv had a letter or fantasy he wrote and I found it disturbing. He is 16 years old and he was talking crazy in the letter. He mentioned sitting on his couch nude and masturbating to Hilary Duff? Who is duff. His fantasy was a degrading one as she was calling him all kinds of names as he was doing this. He is such an innocent boy who just came from India. I am worried now. He was talking so bad. He kept saying that she was calling him tiny and waving her pinky at him. What the heck is that? Can someone help me? Should I send him back to India?

I am currently using Enfamil gentlease for my baby. I noticed they make the "same" formula in a store brand. I looked on the back of the label and noticed all the vitamins and such were the same. I am paranoid about other formulas besides enfamil. What is your opinon on the store brand?

to sleep on her own, like she's been doing for about 4 months. She's 8 months old now.
Yesterday at nap time, she just didn't want me to put her in her crib, so she skipped that nap, cause she wouldn't fall asleep in my arms.

Last night, I fed her, we did everything we always do, and when I went to put her in her crib, she started to cry. I went back, retrieved the pacifier that she threw across the room, checked her temperature and her diaper. Everything was fine.
So, I figured: "she's just not tired yet". I took her to the living room, and we played some more. A little after, she started to rub her eyes and yawn, so I figured "she has to be tired". I put her down. Crying started again! I knew nothing was wrong, she just seemed to want to be with me, but she'd fuss if I held her, she'd fuss if I put her on the floor to play...
Finally, I gave her more formula, and she went to sleep...

But why did she do all that? It's a drastic change in her behaviour...

Thanks!

I am breastfeeding and I just don't seem to have enough milk. My 2 month old is always still hungry after I feed her. I've tried feeding her more often, pumping more, and drinking more water. Nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

During a conversation with my ex-girlfriend recently, she mentioned she had to tell her young daughter off for using foul language.

No problem there.

What she then told me was that a woman she used to know stopped her daughter from swearing by making her drink a glass of water with washing up liquid in it after many threats of doing so.

Also, although she never did, or never would have carried it out, a woman I knew once swiftly stopped her son from swearing while she was doing her make-up by telling him if the bad language didn't stop, she'd use her lipgloss on him.

Do you agree with these methods?

He'll be 4 months the 18th. Basically he eats two sets of 6 ounces at night. But lately during the day he'll barely eat. He'll go like 5 hours during the day without eating. I wish he'd do that at night. From like 10 am - 10 pm he'll probably eat 8 oz - maybe 10 oz. He used to have such a hardy appetite. Now I don't know when to feed him and how much. My husband suggested I feed him less during the day, so he'll eat more often, so at night I'll give him a big bottle and maybe he'll sleep through the night more. What do you think? Should I be worried about his lack of appetite? He weighs I'm guessing about 15 or 16 lbs.

our son is sleeping with us in same bed. and I don't really see necessary to put him alone in his room. don't you think baby need love and confort from parent? putting him alone in different room is sound mean and I heard lots of baby looking for comfort from branket or start sucking finger. using toy to put sleep is asking for babysitting. doesn't sound right....

I'm sorry I know there are a lot of questions already pertaining to the"I'm pregnant, help!" subject.

I took a pregnancy test yest. and it came out positive. I can't be more than about 3 weeks along. My boyfriend and I live together and as soon as I let him know he comforted me and let me know he is VERY supportive of us. My problem is that I, myself, am completely and utterly scared. I don't know what to do first. Do I make a doc appointment this early on or should I wait another week or so? I come from a eastern european family and I am dreading telling my grandparents. My mom had me young so I'm hoping she will be welcoming of this news. I feel like my life just started piecing itself back together and now I have done something to set myself back again. I know this is a blessing, but I am just trying to get through the initial shock. I still feel like a child myself, at times. Does anyone who became an unplanned young mother have any advice or suggestions? Thank you:)

I don't understand how a baby can be an accident. Both of my daughteers were unplanned. They aren't accidents from faulty birth control though. I feel they they were born for a reason. They are my nice little suprises. What do you think about calling a baby an accident?

I found a letter on my sons desk where he was talking about some sick things. We are Hindu Indians and I may be naive of what he was saying but he wrote about being nude on his knees masturbating in front of 5 beautiful white girls while they waved their pinky finger at him? What is this about and should I get him counseling?
