Congrats jf ur boy is so stinkin cute!

Dove......soexciting another boy!

Shelli how ya doin?

 

[shellideaks]

Dove congrats on the boy, love your name choice

Guidelines in the UK are to not wean before 6 months. Some mums do cos their babies are ready for it earlier. I'm waiting simply because Parker is quite happy just having bottles and she sleeps 12 hours each night with no feeds.

I'm good thanks Amy, off out to lunch today with the family and OH's dad. Just waiting to ov, I'm determined to get a sticky bean this month. How is Anastasia doing?

Have some tea with lemon and/or honey...if you're watching your caffeine intake, decaf tea works too...and you *almost* can't tell the difference

Love the name dove!

Jaime, thanks for the Congrats...its great but I sure miss baby lol but I stayed hone with the other two so I guess ill give him a turn with all the fun lol and I fed my others cereal(never in a bottle like everyone seems to do) at 3 months so I will with her then too...I think Haley said. Her little guy is already on it and he's 2 and half months...and I think mine is almost 10 lbs too..well 9.5 I'm glad u kept bf too! Have u had a period yet?

Snow I was sick when preggo too try some pectin losenges

 

[jrowenj]

I havent had a period yet. Blake gets his vaccines friday. Im gonna cry i bet

 

[threemakefive]

I heard once baby sleeps 6 h at night a lot moms get period back then she slept six hours and I started spotting lol

And yea u probably will lol we are doing delayed vaccines and starting later than most just bc 30 vaccines before one year seems crazy to me

 

[jrowenj]

I want to do delayed vaccines too. I read an article on it. Do u have any info on it???

 

[threemakefive]

Jaime Dr Sears has a lot of info on it and a delayed schedule you can follow if you want. My oh is very much against vaccines so for now we are thinking delayed but we might decide not to vaccinate...its such a hard decision...I read an article abt SIDS saying breastded non vaccinated are at less risk...so we might wait til a year to start. I've read so much on all sides but still can't decide what to do. I will see if I can find some of the stuff ive read and send u the link. This link is one I've read that makes me nervous abt vaccines....

thank you!!! Yes, Dr Sears is who my girlfriend told me about and I read a few of his articles. She is following his delayed schedule. It's just scary either way... i really don't want all these vaccines and want to delay them, but at the same time if he got sick, I would be so upset with myself.... I go on Friday and he is supposed to get some shots... I don't know what to do and I only have a day to figure it out! I also have only been to this pediatrician once and I hope she isn't pushy... I am making Kevin go with me so he can stand ground!

I agree Jaime that's how I feel!! I think ill just feel what's right when the time comes to decide. I think delaying is not risky so at the moment that's my plan....delaying til I feel which is right. It's so hard.. if u do and something happen yr terrible for immunizing...if you don't and something happens ur terrible for not!

Also...look at the cases of things like diptheria last year, with 0 cases why not delay a little..that's kinda my thought on some of them.

Best advice for beastfeeding is honestly just to stick with it. You'll find what works for you and your baby, and it'll be the easiest thing in the world.
