After hearing what you all think in regards to posting photos on the forums, we have modified the rules and ask that everyone familiarize yourself so that the site continues to remain friendly for everyone, including new members. In an effort to be respectful of all members of the site, we ask that members do not post more than ONE photo or video per person in the weekly, monthly and information forums. Your ONE picture should be small in size as well. Any large photos will be deleted. You are welcome to post as many pictures as you would like in the photo books, which were created for the purpose of sharing and viewing photos. You may also post as many blogs as you would like with photos in them. We understand that many members enjoy posting and viewing pictures on the forums, but this is not where they belong. We must keep the pictures on the boards to a minimum so that the written comments can continued to be written and read. Otherwise, the numerous amounts of large pictures squash the messages and they become missed. We ask that this modification be respected, therefore any member that continues to post numerous pictures a day will be deleted from the site. Thank you all for helping us keep the site friendly and welcoming for all members.
Dirk - Friday, 5 December Message to all: In the last 2 years you all posted 1.1 million photos to the site, and that needs a little maintenance. We are currently renaming all photos from the personal photobooks in order to speed up the site. Some, or all your photos may not show while we are working on the photobooks. You don't have to do anything. We hope to have all photos sorted in about 24 hours from now. You can upload new photos to your photobook while the computer is working on your other photos. Thanks for reading.
soon2be3 - Monday, 1 December I strickly bf too and Carter is 5 1/2 months. He has been waking up about two times per night to feed regularly, but the last couple of nights it has been three times. If you hear anything about what is or is not normal, let me know too. I was just wondering the same thing myself. I will not be starting Carter on solids until he is six months old. It's just another couple of weeks, but I don't think he is ready...can't sit up yet, doesn't really show any interest.
HaileyMaysMommy - Monday, 24 November My little girl also has a rainforest jumperoo...she is two and a half months and she loves it. I would deffinately recommend it. :)
JennMomof3 - Monday, 24 November He LOVES the rainforest bouncer! I mean I couldn't live without that thing lol. I can actually get some things done around the house and he has a blast in it! He's almost 8 months and 21 lbs and I just moved it to the last height level so he will be out of it in another month or two :( But he has used it for almost 4 months now :)

melliebellie - Friday, 24 October you may have too much of an enzyme called lipase that causes your milk to smell funny after it's stored. mine does that too. it's fine for them to drink but most won't. luckily mine has no problem with it. it only does it after it's been a few days or if it's frozen. google it and you'll get more info.
carolynjh - Friday, 24 October I've heard that if breastmilk is bad, you know by the smell. It is not supposed to smell like anything really, so it probably is not good. I have noticed if I left a bottle out too long it smelled like spitup also. Dr told me you can keep milk frozen for 6 months, try to keep it in coldest part of freezer though he said.
xcitedmom - Saturday, 18 October I love the family pic I can't believe you guys are coming up in 1 week. I'm so excited. I love you all!!!
mommad - Thursday, 9 October I was going to ask if you were getting her diaper tight enough but seeing that you have 4 kids, you obviously have diapering down pat! I like LUVs and pampers.

Hi there,
I work for a television production company based in the UK . We are currently making a documentary for ITV1 exploring the issues surrounding pregnancy and eating disorders. The film will be a thoughtful and insightful look into this extremely sensitive subject.
We’re in the research stage of our production and very keen to chat to women who are, or have been, pregnant whilst having an eating disorder.
If you’re interested in having a chat or finding out more about our documentary, it would be really great to hear from you. All communication would be in complete confidence.
You can contact me on: seema.modhvadia@rdftelevision.com

jillianlovesherboys - Friday, 3 October i actually haven't been feeding him from the breast a ton, because i'm scared he isn't getting enough.. i had to start supplimenting with formula, so he'll get an oz of breastmilk already pumped, then drink a bit from the breast, and then two oz of formula -- then i pump about a half an hour later.. is there a better way to be doing that?
jillianlovesherboys - Thursday, 2 October i wanted to strictly breastfeed for as long as i could, butthe problem is i'm seriously not making enough. literally about 4 oz a day if i'm really lucky, which is nowhere near enough. did you eat/drink anything special? thanks so much for your help :)
jillianlovesherboys - Thursday, 2 October actually i had a pretty easy delivery - which was NOT expected because i had a really hard pregnancy... i was enduced at 7 am, and had my water broken at 10 am... i tried to hold off on the epi so it wouldn't ware off, so i got it at 10:20. :) -- at 1:30 i was 5 cm, but by 2:00 i was 10. Started pushing, delivered at 3:36. It was scary for a minute because he'd pooped in the sack, and he was a bit blue when he came out -- but everything turned out fine. he's the best baby. :)
jillianlovesherboys - Thursday, 2 October hi, i just saw your breastfeeding post (im so jealous. seriously) -- and needed to ask you a question: how many oz were you pumping when your baby was a week old? im only getting 1 1/2, 2 if im really lucky.
anneoriginal - Tuesday, 16 September Thanks for the info. I was thinking about just using the Playtex drop in bags for storage as well although they seem more costly and take up more room in the freezer (about as much space as a bottle). My sister in law uses the Lansinoh storage bags with the Playtex drop in bottles and says she doesn't have problems although I here others like you have had problems. Hmmm....
