Thanks for the posts. This is the first time I've nursed past 1 year, so I'm not quite sure what to expect. My Dds were BF til 10 mos then we went on formula (I shudder!) and then cow's milk. This is really new territory for me. DS...

Thanks so much! I'll have to look at an Ellaroo if I don't get an Ergo. I just have to clarify, I never back carried him with my moby, basically it's too stretchy for any carry now. Sorry, I re-read what I wrote and realize how it...

Check out this beautiful article by Melissa L. Block from Mothering a few years back. This article helped me to come to terms with some of the anxiety I face as a mother of 3 growing little...

You've had some great advice so far. 1. Human Services will tell you about Women, Infant, Children (WIC). We are thankful to be using that right now, as things are really rough for my family. It goes up til the child is 5, but you...

If it's straight, try taking it before a meal, so it's on the bottom of your stomach. If capsules, try storing them in fridge or freezer and taking them cold/frozen--right before a meal. HTH!
