To Breastfeeding Moms

I have two sons that I chose to use formula with, I'm at peace with that choice. I'm very uncomfortable, however, about doing any breastfeeding in public. No offense, but I think it particularly offensive when ladies choose not to cover up while breastfeeding in public, like at a resaraunt. With that said, I am pregnant with baby number 3 and would like explore the option of pumping only so that my baby has the benefits of breastmilk without having to breastfeed in front of anyone. Walk me through it- how big of a pain would it be to just...

Trouble with Avent Bottles?

My daughter is mostly breastfed but gets 1-2 bottles a day. I've been using the Avent bottles with #3 and #4 nipples (I felt like she got frustrated with #2), but it seems like she can't get a good seal with the nipple and the formula ends up all over her bib/clothes...totally soaking her. I think part of the problem is that she chews on the nipple or plays with it. Has anyone else had this problem? Should I just switch back to the smaller nipple? or try different bottles? She is almost 7 months so she should be on the #4. I hate to...

Nursing ALL the Time

I know people say they nurse all the time, but I literally do. It starts when we get up at 8 am and he'll eat for 30 min or so until drifting off, then I'll lay him down. 5 to 10 minutes later, he'll be awake and demand more. This goes on until 2 or 3 in the afternoon. He's 6 weeks old now and gaining weight (started off at 8 lbs and is now over 11!) the Only way I really get him down for a nap during the day is to give him 4 oz of formula. Now he's getting up at night to do the same. We were up for 3 hours last night. What is going...

Any Experience with Avent Sippy Cups

My 11 month old twin sons are in the process of weaning from the bottle. They have had a sippy cup (Nuby) since 6 months. Once they mastered the Nuby sippy cup I moved on to the Playtex cups whihc they don't like. I think the flow is just too slow and removing the piece inside the cup makes the flow much to fast. I tried cups with straws which they don't like either. I recently went back to the Nuby which they drink a little from but it leaks so much. We used Avent bottles and were pleased with those and thought we would try the Avent...

Finger Food for 14 Month Old & Sippy Cups

I have a 14 month old daughter who is a picky eater. I feel like I feed her the same things over and over every day. I can't find any vegetables she likes. She loves cheese but I don't want to overdo it on that. She is independent and really likes foods that she can feed to herself. I would love some ideas of what other moms feed their toddlers at this age. Also, I have switched her to whole milk in a sippy cup and the Avent magic cups leak horribly. I would like to find one with a lid that does not leak. If anyone knows of what...

Breastfeeding Babe Refuses Bottle

I have been breastfeeding my baby exclusivly since she was 2 weeks old. Now that she is 4 months old I would like to seperate from her for longer than 1 hour. I have tried many bottles with many different nipples. She refuses to take it, no matter who gives her the bottle. I have now tried a cup. She takes a few sips and then doesn't want it. I know she knows how to drink from it. She just doesn't want to. What do I do? Mommy needs a break! I forgot to mention that it is breastmilk in the bottle!
