Laura Ward - Sunday, 7 December Message to all: This message is not intended for any one person, but a general statement to all members of the site. 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.
thirdtimearound - Wednesday, 19 November Thanks for your advice on thrush. I have been pumping on my left side because the pain is just too severe for her to nurse. I will definitely keep your story in the front of my mind, and keep a close eye out for that kind of pain. Thanks again.

Laura Ward - Monday, 6 October Message to all This may be interesting to some of you. Seema`s email is seema.modhvadia@rdftelevision.com
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

boystruckx2 - Sunday, 31 August Thank you so much I am going to check that site out :)
Mom2Dom - Monday, 18 August Thanks for the reply...my son was born on th esame day as yours. I am trying to not over react, but sometimes he just frusterates me so much!
tto - Saturday, 26 July Thanks for the advice- I will try that!
Preggers123 - Wednesday, 16 July Thank you so Much. Congratulations on your son's Couldn't find a pic:)
EveS - Friday, 27 June i saw your response. and correction, he said it wont increase the chances of SIDS, but it wouldnt help prevent/reduce it, but may cause the baby to get hiccups and then suffocate. he's very ummm, nyeve.
itsaboy! - Wednesday, 25 June yes they did...but she didnt have silent aspiration...she just had very bad formula allergies...i would ask around to different doctors about whether the feeding tube is neccesary
Andrea1222 - Wednesday, 25 June yeah, he got the swallow test, an upper GI and an endoscopy, and it showed no problems internally..so its been strange. he is lactose intolerant which finding that out helped a lot but he still throws up too often. maybe they need to dig deeper into his little intestines?? not sure thats scary
itsaboy! - Wednesday, 25 June my daughter had projectile vomiting...she couldnt keep anything down...she was admitted into the hospital two different times with severe dehydration...she was just a mess...lol..they switched her formula 3 times...finally she was put on alimentum which is already broken down and pre-digested formula..and that seemed to help...but yes she had choking and gagging
Andrea1222 - Tuesday, 24 June he gagged constantly, and always was throwing up, even strange smells got to him, it was so strange. he only choked when he would throw up. im so sorry you are going through this! We didnt have to go to a feeding tube but i know somewhat you are going through. i hope things get better.
kater - Monday, 2 June yes he did, he had a lot of trouble with feeding and breathing at first, my friend was so worried about him, though now he has virtually no problems with either. he is now on a football team and doing so well, you would never know he had a problem
marietta - Sunday, 25 May Yeah, it does sound like your son presents differently than most. It does sound encouraging though, if all of his neuro tests, etc, are negative. Sound like you have the right kind of team working with you.
marietta - Saturday, 24 May I wish you and your baby the best as he grows out of his little NG tube. I'm sure you're searching for information at this time. In case you haven't hit on it yet, a hint: There are specialists that work with infants and toddlers with feeding problems. They are usually Speech Language Pathologists (SLP), and you'll usually find one who is a feeding/infant swallowing specialist in a major hospital near a metro area. www.asha.org for information about locating qualified clinicians.
startingover - Wednesday, 5 Mar Hey! Thanks for the comment on the baby name. Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you! I've been super busy! Looks like you don't have too long to go!! :)
opal - Friday, 15 Feb Had mine done 2 weeks ago..it's actually very important to have them done at this time because gum disease can cause preterm labor and other such issues.
