|
Your husband and breastfeeding - Odd as it sounds, you and your child aren't the only ones affected by your decision to breastfeed -- your husband is too.
"Nursing" your wounds: The bad boo-boos of breastfeeding - In the land of Oz, Dorothy was afraid of things like lions and tigers and bears. But in the land of breastfeeding, you're afraid of much scarier things, namely breast clogs, mastitis and abscess! Oh my!
An infant who spits up a lot - Our two month old baby seems to spit up a lot. Is this normal? Is there anything we can do?
Breastfeeding - Teething and biting - Sometimes babies with teeth may bite while breastfeeding. But stay cool and hang in there because there are things you can do to prevent biting.
Breastfeeding and medical conditions - There are some situations where nursing must be temporarily interrupted, but if you maintain your milk supply by pumping, you can almost always resume breastfeeding when the medical problem is resolved.
Breastfeeding and thrush - Candida, also called yeast, or thrush, is a fungus that occurs naturally in the mucous membranes and on the skin.
Breastfeeding and thrush (part 2) - Candida, also called yeast, or thrush, is a fungus that occurs naturally in the mucous membranes and on the skin.
Breastfeeding and weaning - If done gradually, and with love, weaning can be a positive experience for both you and your little one.
Breastfeeding: Is prep work needed? - I tried to breastfeed my son, but it only worked for one week. Later someone told me I should've rubbed my nipples with a washcloth in the shower every morning to "rough them up." Does this really help?
Constipation in a breastfed baby - My breastfed baby only has one bowel movement every week! Could he be constipated? Does he need more water?
Feeding a hungry baby - I feed my 6 week old once every hour from 8am to 9pm then every 3 hours at night but she acts like she wants more. She constantly cries during the day unless she is breastfeeding. Should I put her on formula?
Gassy foods to avoid? - Where can I find out what foods I have to avoid if I am nursing?
Is your 6-month-old baby on a nursing strike - I introduced my 6-month old son to solids and he went on a nursing strike. I has been 2 weeks and now will not breastfeed at all. I have switched to formula but I am still having a problem with him taking a cup or bottle. He is probably only getting 12-16 ounces of formula a day in his cereal. Any suggestions to get him to use a cup or bottle?
Jaundice in breastfed babies - The diagnosis of jaundice in their newborn baby is often very frightening to new parents. They immediately begin to think something is very wrong with their infant, and may not be fully informed about the facts, which are actually very reassuring.

Lactation program increases rate of breastfeeding - A lactation program targeting mothers of very low birth weight babies (VLBWB) can be successful in raising the rate of breastfeeding among this group.
Milk supply: Is your baby getting enough breastmilk? - I have an eight-week-old son who I am breastfeeding. I am worried as my milk supply seems to be very low and my baby is always hungry. Is it possible for your milk supply to dry up? What can I do to keep the supply up?
Ouch! Overcoming sore nipples - Nipple soreness is one of the most common reasons new mothers give for discontinuing breastfeeding, often during the first week of nursing. This is quite unfortunate, for nipple soreness is almost always a short-term problem, and can usually be corrected in a matter of days.
Overcoming breastfeeding obstacles and "ouchies" - The three essential tools for successful breastfeeding are (1) knowing what to do, (2) feeling confident that you are doing the right thing for your baby and yourself, and (3) being determined to persist in the face of any minor setbacks that may come your way.

Sensitivity to dietary proteins in breastmilk causing colic - Colic in breastfed infants younger than six weeks of age is associated with intolerance to dietary proteins excreted in breast milk, reports the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology.
Spitting up: Is it reflux? - Almost all babies will spit up after some feedings, whether they are breastfed or bottle-fed, but is it just spitting up or something more such as reflux? Learn how you can tell the difference.
Would boosting the oxytocin system lead to longer breast-feeding? - There's little controversy about the benefits of breastfeeding infants over giving them formula. Mother's milk is the perfect food, providing exactly the correct nourishment for newborns, while protecting them from many illnesses.
