I took 12 weeks. It was unpaid but I used my vacation/sick time to cover all but the last two weeks. My employer was great about it and my supervisors/coworkers are very supportive of my pumping/parenting/having other priorities besides...

And I can't get it anywhere but here. Anyone in my regular life, even those who support bf'ing, will likely just tell me to wean her. DD will be 17 months old next week. Two weeks ago I got a plugged duct, treated it, got it under...

We've experienced this, more so when Muffin was younger (she's 16 months now). She started walking a little on the early side and she was pretty wobbly for a while. We'd be out on a playground or in the park and I would be letting her...

I didn't have pain during my labor, it was certainly uncomfortable, and I felt claustrophobic at times riding through contractions, but there was no pain. Towards the end I got pretty panicky, I think because she was posterior and wasn't...

Yeah, that sounds like my DD at 12 months. Sounds like my DD today at 15 months, since she's still not talking much. Actually, at 10 months, when she started walking, she "toddlerized" overnight. I remember my mom and I looking at each...

Sigh. I know these are common. We just came back from Muffin's 15 month well child today. Our pediatrician is actually a pediatric ARNP. Very AP and breastfeeding friendly. The deal is, Muffin was a huge 6 month old. Huge, chubby,...
