Yes, but it wasn't until after nine months of bf that all the extra weight STARTED coming off. Before that I lost some of the weight, then hit a plateau. I know it was the bf that finally helped because I only bf my first for 5 months,...

You could just take flax seed oil or grind up the seeds. I give my 2 yr old the oil and take it myself. His tuna recommendation is out of date. I forget exactly what the recommendation is, but it is much less than he says because of...

My oldest is almost 19 and I think that other forms of discipline are LESS likely to work as they get older. The more close minded and punitive you are, the more likely they are to tune you out and rebel. At least you are carefully...

I just skimmed through the site but OMG!! Who are these people? They seem to be on a mission to discredit La Leche League. One other thing, if a woman's breast milk contains pesticides etc. wouldn't it stand to reason that any formula...

Did you read the book first? I haven't seen the movie but I loved the book. Maybe it is one of those movies that is better after you have read the book? I probably won't get to see it until it is out on video, so I will be interested...

Breastfeeding in general has come a long way over the last 30-40 years in the US, but obviously not far enough. However, I think it is safe to say that breastfeeding for at least 3 months is fairly mainstream. My question is more...
