- by Charise_cHey Mommas, I am hoping that some of you may have the answer to what to me feels like a very odd question. Our son was born a little over a week ago, and being a mom is better than I could have ever imagined it would be. I honestly don't mind how tired I […]
- by T_M10When I was 17 I had a breast reduction surgery. They made me sign a waiver saying that if I could not produce milk it was not their fault. However, the doctor said it would most likely either be no milk at all, or be perfectly fine. Well my son in 2 months old and […]

- by Mama_B1Has anyonoe said no to the Vitamin K shot for your baby at birth? I know it's a preventative thing for clotting but is it necessary?

- by Mandy_S2Hey gals! I'm sure many of you would love to be in my position, but I am a bit worried. Since my little guy was born he has been a great sleeper, we would even have to set an alarm to wake him up for feedings. He is a big guy (10 1/2 lbs at […]

I know she's still jet-lag but it seems she's become much more of a fussy, demanding baby in the last few days since we've returned. She used to be able to play nicely for a good […]

- by mrs.reynosoI need a recommendation on vitamins. My son is allergic to a ton of things, and we're in the process of weaning. But so far all the vitamins I have found have orange, pear, wheat germ, or SOMETHING he can't have in them… Rather than googling infant vitamins and spending hours trying to figure out […]
- by sewitgenHas anybody tried cognitive behavioral therapy for postpartum depression/anxiety? I've read that it can be as effective as medication for mild cases. I'm not sure that I'm suffering from depression, but I just feel "off" and have been having anxiety since the baby was born – no panic attacks, just anxiety, and not necessarily just […]
