My (almost) 6 year old has never had a problem with his foreskin. It does balloon up when he pees but that is normal and does not cause any issues for him. He had a UTI once when he was 3 yo but that could happen to a circumcised boy...

Skip the LPN and do at least a 2 yr RN program, although 4 year is ideal for upward movement. I think working in PP would be the perfect place for you if you want to continue onto IBCLC.

I can't imagine having the option to get in water during labor and not taking it! For me it was all about comfort and pain relief. I felt too weak to stand most of the time and didn't want to writhe around in bed either, so the...

I prefer a hands off philosophy until labor. Even then, I only like to be checked once or twice. Besides being pointless, you could introduce infection or even trigger contractions. I had one check when I arrived the at the birth...

JUST KEEP NURSING. Anytime he is awake, especially fussing. Slowly taper off the supplements. It will work out. I had an abnormally low supply (no, really) and my son refused to take the breast for the first few days. I had to pump and...

Someone should pee on her dinner. Same thing right?
