Quick reply here before I get ready for work:  It will get better. You are the mom and what you say needs to go, or the nanny needs to go.  I would schedule some time (20-30 minutes) with your nanny prior to her next shift...

I nursed my first son until he was 2 and my daughter until she was 16 months.  Neither of them really self weaned - but it was a totally untraumatic process with both of them - I just cut a feeding out every week and voila, they...

My LO was probably between 11-12 pounds at 8 weeks, but I'm just guessing.  He was a little under 7 1/2 pounds at birth and gained very very quickly.  He's now 11 weeks, 5 days and weighs 13 pounds, 9 ounces.  My biggest...

Boots - Ugh, that stinks that your principal might replace you - I hope that is not the case, especially in light of the fact that you're only asking for 6 more weeks.  I would be through the roof if that happened to me.  Are...

So glad I'm far from the only one headed back soon!     Bottles: I am using NUK bottles.  Anthony seems to like those quite a bit.  We tried using the Medela bottles that came with my pump - and Anthony will...

CCoello - I would probably do the drive halfway and then fly the rest of the way option - especially to introduce your babe to your grandparents.  I'm not a fan of long roadtrips with babies in carseats - especially such little...

Anyone else going back to work or already there?  I'm starting a new job October 1 and I am gearing up.  I have very mixed feelings.  Excited for the job itself - but a little anxious about how it's all going to fit...

sallyrae - I totally agree - having my first was such a HUGE adjustment, going from one to two was much easier and now from 2 to 3 has been even easier.  There's more going on now - it's busier... but I'm better at it and it's not...
