Time to Wean???

I'm having trouble deciding if I should wean my 10-week old baby girl. I feel that my reasons are totally selfish and that I'm not doing what's best for her. We've had all sorts of trouble breastfeeding, but I kept at it. She had such a strong suck that my nipples had open wounds, though the lactation consultant said it was a good latch. And she ate so slow it was taking 45 minutes or longer. Then my milk was low and she was loosing weight, so I had to supplement with formula or expressed milk. Now I pump for every feeding. She also...

Is This a Food Allergy

My daughter is 6 weeks old and has a "rash" on her face. It seems to come and go. After she feeds (Similac Advanced w/ Iron) it gets red. About 20 min later it's just bumpy. It started on her cheeks and is now on her eyebrows and ears and a little on the back of her neck. It is really rough feeling. My doctor said to put Aquaphor on it and keep a food diary to see if it's a food allergy. It's really not workng. We have a 8 week appointment in a week and a half. It's just bugging me.

Organic Baby Food

We recently started feeding rice cereal to our 5 month old. I have been doing a lot of research in regards to baby food and organic foods. I know there is a list of food you should try to eat organic. Does anyone feed your infant organic food? What are your thoughts?

Anyone with Experience Using a FOOD MILL for Making Stage 1 Baby Food??

Has anyone had success in making stage 1 consistency baby food with a food mill? If so, what brand/model food mill did you use? How did you prepare the food prior to putting through the mill? So far, I have had no success in making strained baby food and I would like to because of the nutritional benefits and to save $$. I have heard of the Kidko brand food mill, but it seems so cheap that I can't believe it really works. I recently purchased a nice stainless steel food mill that cost around $30.00 from bed bath & beyond. I...
