If MDC doesn't see the need to add a subforum, at least a list of resources, such as appear in health and healing, and other areas, could save a lot of people time and energy. I got a lot of help from the medela chatroom LC's, mobi,...

I think a sub forum would be helpful. A tribe thread is too long, and specific questions don't do well in the tribe thread format. Way back, when I first started posting questions (I'm not sure Breastfeeding Challenges exsited then),...

Last year, when Dd turned 5, she announced she did not want a party. She did want presents though, but was firm she did not want a party even if it meant no gifts from miffed grandparents. We had a lovely day and hoped that Dd would...

Not quite the same, and I'm not sure how helpful any of this is but I'll just give you a few of my disconnected thoughts on the topic of stuff, newness, and my Dd, age 5. Dd loves new stuff just because it's new. She states, not in...
