Did anyone see that the article also talked about a British mom who had accidentally smothered TWO of her children that way? Sounds more that a bit suspicious to me. Are people just expecting breastfeeding and cosleeping to be so...

oh, and I meant to suggest nightweaning, too. I'm in the middle of very gradually and gently nightweaning. (Perhaps I'll get flamed for this, but DS is only 11 months old. Before I started he was waking 5-6 times a night and it was...

Veggie purees in pancakes or bread. You can make sweet potato pancakes, or get a zucchini bread recipe and instead of grated zucchini use pureed carrots & other veggies.

We had green poops when baby had a virus. Went away as soon as he was healthy.
