I still enjoy feeding my 11.5 month-old overnight -
is it 2 or 3 or 4 times a night?- never sure - we're cuddled up together in bed
and it's so drowsy that Idon't remember specifically. Not ready to
lose that closeness from him just yet... And yes, he's a nice weight and a
really cuddly
From a "consumer's" point of view - this vaccine
has me stumped! It was introduced "between" my two babies' births and
since I couldn't see the point of it, and could only see disadvantages in it, I
refused it. No drams at all in hospital, butI have had comment from
a GP since, but was
likely to be in use for comfort rather than teething
too, I believe.
And just to add some personal bias I think thumbs
look better than dummies too!

Would like to add my thumb-sucking almost 4yo son
was breastfed until 22 months, when he began sucking his thumb at 5 months he
was fully breastfed, round the clock and no solids - weight on the 97th
percentile. Definitely getting plenty of the good stuff. It seems a
lot of material is
workplaces/homes. I think
allcouples should be counselled to have a good "clean-out" before
conception.

My first baby was having nappy changed in hospital - approx. 3 days old,
lying on back and choked on vomit. It wasn't until I was running around to
the nurses station holding him face down along my arm that the vomit started
coming out of nose and mouth and he was able to begin breathing again.
Wonderful news Reuben is doing so well, and an amazing account of yours and
Tas's intuition! Fantastic for your daughter.

I would absolutely like to know where this is - as a Melbourne consumer of
maternity services, just in case I'm ever in that situation - and to be able
to help any mates who are threatened with the cut for breech (and have had 2
such mates so far).

Dear Maureen,
Thank you for your comments and support.
It is very interesting to read this, as my 1st (as I have just mentioned in
previous message) was Keillands - in 1999. When Cate's doc said You can

really meant was that

than adequate) - so I wondered whether blaming oversupply was justified.
I would love to see Jen go on to breastfeed for a lot longer than 5 weeks,
for her and baby's sake, and wondered if any of you can recommend someone

Sue,
As a mother ofanother March 2002 baby, I have
wept for the mother that she won't see her child grow and for the baby that she
won't hear from her mother how treasured she was, and counted my blessings me
and mine are all together - for now.

Ditto - except our kitty birthed in the lounge room and ate all 5 placentas
for all kittens (after each birth she ate the placenta - she had 30 mins+
b/w each kitten).
I'd heard the predator theory too, and also understand placenta very high in
zinc - a mineral which helps both mother and babe
Dear Joy and Mary,
Thanks for your help and advice regarding homoepathy and acidophilus and

I realise this is a totally isolated incident, but just for
comparison...

diagnosed in labour) and I lost a litre of blood from episiotomy which tore -

Hi All,
Yet another question from me for a friend who is imminently expecting. She
is 37 wks (maybe a touch under) with a breech baby and unsuccessful ECV.
Apparently baby is breech with legs extended (feet beside ears), and 3
attempts to turn were unsuccessful (this was attempted yesterday).
Dear Lieve,
More great info - thank you so much for taking the time to write - I will be
in touch with my homoeopath on Monday and will be well prepared to discuss
all these aspects for diagnosis and treatment.
Thank you.

Just to add to Tina's comment, my (layperson's) understanding has been that
calcium and magnesium deficiency can result in leg cramps...
Leg cramps can also be caused by too little calcium in the diet. So
reviewing
