I have a friend who breastfed her son until he was 4 years old. 4 YEARS OLD! You have to understand, that is VERY unusual here in the United States! I realize it was mainly a comfort thing for her kid, he was getting nutrition...

earthsong Many people that breastfeed that long practice child-led rearing and attachment parenting. I think its a matter of choice and not for anyone else to decide for a mother. I personally breastfed my youngest until she was almost two. She had, and still has, a lot...

mommycrat I know lots of women who breastfed that long, and I plan to until my son is rready to wean on his own. He is 4 m/o and signs to me when he wants to nurse, does that mean he is too old? The US has a horrible stigma on breastfeeding. There is no set point when...

mommycrat You must live in the United States. Man, I wish that mindset would change. Incestuous? Maybe if enough mom's nurse their babies in this generation, the next one won't have such crazy ideas.

I have an 18 month old little girl, I didn't breast feed her. Now I'm a stay-at-home mom and I just had another baby who is 5 weeks old. I decided to breastfeed him. Everyone who advocates breastfeeding makes it sound so enjoyable...

ethanmama Firstly, what is your gauge that your son isn't taking enough? How often does he feed? Breastfed newborns feed every 2 hours, at roughly 2 ounces per feeding. My suggestions: - Try NOT to give formula after breastfeeding. This would make him less hungry and...

Just wondering who baby wears and what type of sling, back pack, etc. you like? We have a ring sling, a homemade pouch sling, a snuggli and a back pack. I love my ring sling the best and my husband loves the back pack.

ryleesmama I have tried a pouch sling, ring sling, mei tai, and a wrap. For a newborn I liked the pouch and wrap, but know my daughter is 5 months old and I only use the wrap. It is great because I can wrap her on my back and get things done around the house. I would...

Please do some research. I don't think that all of the vaccines are necessary, especially the one's given at birth. They are coming out with so many new ones each year. The eye ointment is given for STD's, so if you don't have one...

We were at a restaurant the other day and someone we know tried to give my 4 month old daughter caramel sauce. I quickly covered her mouth and said "she can't eat that". Then the lady said not even a taste. My husband said no way...

freak369 It's your kid, you do what you feel is right. Even if it were a family member, they better ask me before they give my kid something - regardless of the age. What really irks me is that people never stop to ask if it's ok or if they child has any food...

awonderfullife People are nuts. That was totally inappropriate for someone to try to feed your baby anything-- and especially caramel sauce. You did the right thing. I'd be peeved even if my own mother tried to do that!
