My baby's began biting while I breast fed her so I had to immediately stop nursing. At first I would extract just enough milk to ease my discomfort. Now its been about a week and a half and my right breast has a failrly large knot and is extremely painful. I was told that to take Ibuprofen every other day and the milk will dry up. Is this true? What should I do about the knot? I'm scared.

I am measuring about 3 1/2 weeks too big. I already had an ultrasound schduled in 4 weeks and my doctor just said we would check it then. Should it be checked sooner? I have to do a gestational diabetes test but not until next week. Has anyone had this problem before, and how did things turn out?

I have recently decided to start a more healthly lifestyle again, I gave it up 2 years ago. And so now I dug out of my drawer a bottle of one a day weight smart vitamins, and now I see they expired on april 2005. so is that mean they are bad or just like another way to get you to buy more? I used to work at a place that had "stamps" on items only because government demanded it be done. Thanks

A question specifically for moms who either work for an employer, just from their home office, or those who run their own business:

How to you stay organized and focused with work while attending to your children?

I am expecting our second child late summer and have my toddler daughter in daycare. Two kids in daycare full time is not going to work for us. Frankly I'd like to stay home with her but financially can't- that's another story. So...my employer really values me, that is not a concern for me, and I believe that he would allow me to have a schedule flexible enough to work maybe 2 days in the office and work the rest from home. This would be so ideal! But, I don't feel comfortable proposing this, unless I know that it's realistic to handle between 12-24 hours a week at home while taking care of the kids myself.

Does anyone else do this, and how have you been able to make it work for you?

My son was complaing of ear pain in school one day (he is 4). When the teacher looked, she saw dried blood and called CPS (child protection). In CPS's line of questioning, my 4 yr old, developmentally delayed son, said he cant hear and it came up that his dad and i hit (spank) him.
So after about 2 weeks CPS contacts me for the first time to tell me about this. The man i spoke with was very nice and didnt by any means seem "out to get us" and was appauled that the school had never said anything to us concerning his hearing.
I feel like the school had a responsibility to report possible abuse (although he is NOT in any way abused) but my question is, how can they not tell parents immediatley that their child may have damage in his ear and says that he cant hear! My 5 yr old's (who goes to a different school) school calls if he so much as scraoes his knee at recess!!! the worst part is they wont even tell me an exact date so i can give his DR all the info!!

My X Husband has not been in my childs life since he was 7 months old and I was wondering how I can have his last name switched to mine and also if anything were to happen to me to make sure his family who's had no contact can't come in and take him away from my family. I'm remarried but, my husband is not ready to adopt him at this time. Is there anything I can do?? My son is 12 years old and the only father figure he knows is my current husband who's been in his life for the last 9 years. I can't force my husband to adopt him but, I want to make sure that if I get sick that my x can't step in since my husband has no legal rights. ? right??

I've had problems w/ chronic constip. for years now, & I always worry about what to eat the day before having a doctor's appointment or any other appointment, becuz if I'm not able to go in a whole day, I'll wake up feeling miserable (headache, bloated, pressure in eyes, feeling really tired like if I haven't gotten any sleep at all etc). I asked my ob/gyn what would be safe to take & she recommended I take Colace & also told me Benefiber is safe to use during pregnancy. I now add 2 tsps of Benefiber to each of my meals (I use the max limit of it which is 6 tsps daily). She didn't tell me what to eat tho. Could you give me some ideas of what I should have today for lunch & dinner so that I won't be constipated by tommorow? I already had breakfast which was 1 cup of coffee (a lil milk in it and no sugar) w/ 2 tsps of Benefiber mixed in, 2 Metamucil Fiber Wafers, a bowl of All-Bran cereal, a glass of room temp apple juice, an apple & water. I was thinking a Wendy's BLT salad for dinner?
