My 4 yo weaned easily, which was a big surprise to me. About a month later, she said a couple times, "I'm sad that I don't nurse anymore." I mirrored her, which she liked, but she said it a few times over a few days, and once...

Thanks, unconventional, I was trying to remember that word, ketosis. But I don't think you really need to hear my opinion about Atkins, you need a professional who knows the details and most current research on a variety of dietary...

That would be an MD? Yes, that's pretty big. So what, then, is to be the difference between a CNM and an MD? Or is that the point? I thought the regs were state-by-state. ?

Okay, back. I used to have a crib-sized sheet protector, but may have given it away already. Why would I do that? Maybe not. I suppose if we made her always sleep in the same spot, we could make sure it's covered before we go to bed....

We do the last thing at night/first thing in the AM routine. Oh, gotta go, time to go do it! Back later.
