I just wanted to pop in and say thanks everyone. I think ds' big reduction in nursing was due to his canines coming in. He nursed more on vacation and a whole lot more since we got home. But it's still all over the place. Some days I...

You may need to shop around for the right potty/potty seat insert. DD is 4.5 years and her best friend will only go potty on the little insert that goes in the toilet seat. She holds it all morning at school (4 hours plus the ride home)...

It was so much easier the second time for me, ds had a great latch and suck from the get-go. And I wasn't so engorged, uncomfortable and leaking everywhere. There was almost two years of not lactating between them.

I can sympathize. My dd was really interested in the potty right after two and we had great success for a number of days and then the interest went away. Totally. In panties or naked, it did not bother her to have an accident. I tried...

Thanks everyone! I'm glad to know he's not the only one. I think it's that I know he's our last baby and I really don't want him to wean early (or grow up in general). We're going on vacation this next week, I'm hoping nursing will be...

I was just curious what the range is for babes about 18 months old. DS will be 18 months in a little over a week and it seems like he isn't nursing so much anymore, sometimes only 3-4 times a day. Usual nursing times: Wakes 4-5...

I work at a Mother's Day Out/preschool program and we have a checklist from our local early intervention program, the type of crawling you describing is on our checklist. They encourage us to recommend evaluations if there are any...

I have no experience with this, but I've heard people say to treat it like a nursing strike before age 2. Maybe just keep offering and hopefully she'll change her mind. Have you tried nursing her when she's really sleepy? DS is 17...

I have a 4.5 year old and a 17 month old, so I feel your pain. In the last month they have started to fight constantly. DS is bad to slap dd or bite, which we are desperately working on but it's been slow progress. At least it's only dd...
