I'm no longer a leaky faucet so I don't really need my cloth breast pads anymore. I have about 50 of them, they are all cotton and in good condition, so I don't want to throw them out. I tried using them as wipes (we CD) but they are...

Thanks mamas. I don't know why I even feel the need to justify my decision to others. You are right - it's MY decision. And I know my DH agrees, but he's feeling pressure from family and friends and tends to question things when others...

I thought DS1 was extreme; he only slept 6 hours at night (and never straight...) but he would take at least one longish nap during the day (about 3 hours). He started sleeping more at night around 1, and now sleeps 12 hours (he's 3)....

Nurse, nurse, nurse! Unless there is a biological/medical reason you don't have enough milk, nursing around the clock will increase your supply. She will be frustrated, yes, but at the same time, don't all EBF babies go through that same...

Big hug, mama! I've been there, and yes, I survived. In fact, I've battled insomnia all my life and for years NEVER slept more than 4 hours a night. It was brutal when DS1 was born, since I couldn't just come home from work exhausted...
