So I've had a bad back most of my life. Using the chi machine 3 years ago, within 3 days every pain in my body was gone. I haven't used it much since then, but in the last trimester of my pregnancy, pain returned. I suffered through it,...

That's really awesome that you can finally agree on the issue. I can imagine how stressful it was. It took months to get my DH over vaccination. Circumcision was easier, funny enough... But he'll reluctantly read whatever I put in front...

While it does get better, how much depends on a lot of factors, I'm sure. My DD is 9 months old and still nurses around the clock. I can get as much as a 45 minute break out of her, but not more than two per day because the rest of the...

We have a Moby. At first, it was easier for me to hold my DD and wrap us together. Now that she's older and a tiny bit less clingy, I can set her down to wrap first. My problem with the wrap came mostly from using it in cold weather...

Without a baby, a lot of it is going to depend on the pump. When I tried this before, I did use herbs, so I can't comment on just pumping, but after a week, I started getting milk. I was using the Medela Harmony which was okay.

We don't use pacifiers. My girl used to get upset when I took a break to do anything at all too. She's just clingy, and I understand that. I was a clingy child too. I certainly can't feed her while I'm on the potty, so I put her on her...
