We're doing well here. DS is walking all over the place now--never crawls at all anymore. He is so much happier now that he is so mobile! He loves playing with his big sister, and big sister is...

Seeing a chiropractor helped me when DS was doing what you described. It turned out that he had some real tight muscles in his neck and mid-back and it was really uncomfortable for him to nurse in...

I keep wanting to try one of these EIO Glass kids cups. Not a sippy, but less spillage than a regular cup. It's also nice because you can use them with any 8 ounce glass jar.

DS had his 9 month check today, and all is well. He has been on a nursing strike for the last 10 days, so I was actually at the ped's office last week to have him checked for ear infections, thrush,...

Well, today is day 11 since this started, and it appears that he's back to normal. He nursed normally last night and so-far all day today. I hope I didn't jinx it by posting this, but I think the...

:hugs: I wish I could find something to say to help you through your pain. Just know that I am still thinking about and praying for you and your family constantly:hugs:

I still think teething has something to do with it. He is chewing on his fingers so much, and when I give him the bottle he chews on the nipple a lot. I gave him Tylenol and ibuprofen for a couple...

Well, the comeback didn't last very long--he refused to nurse again last night and so far all day today. Ugh. We'll keep at it, though!

He's coming back! Last night when he woke up he wouldn't nurse at first. I gave him a bottle, but he wanted more. After a little struggle he latched on and nursed himself to sleep. He just did...

He's totally healthy--no ear infection, thrush, or anything else. He has one molar starting to come in, but it didn't look bad enough that it should be causing this. My pedi called the lactation...

Great idea on the articles because I know they say something about him just being ready to wean. Weaning is gradual--not nursing 6 times one day and zero the next. My appt is Thursday morning. ...

I have tried Tylenol, I have tried nursing in lots of different positions. He doesn't want to get anywhere near the nipple and just pushes away when I try. I tried hand expressing a little milk and...

Oh my, I am so sorry. :hugs: I have a new appreciation for moms who pump after doing it these last few days while DS is on a nursing strike. I can't imagine losing that much milk that you worked...

I called the pedi yesterday and the nurse wasn't real helpful. She just thinks its teething and to keep trying. She also made the comment that he might just be done nursing. I will not accept that...

Last night he woke up at 3am and refused to nurse. I soothed him back to sleep and then pumped so I would be comfortable enough to sleep. That little stinker heard the pump and woke up screaming...

Thanks ladies. That was my number one question--does he really need the breast milk all day, or can he miss out on it until he decides to go back to the breast? I gave him bottles all day today,...

DS is 9 months old and yesterday suddenly started refusing to nurse. He will turn toward the breast like he's about to latch on, then suddenly turns away, arches his back and starts crying and...

Well, it's been 10 days since we did the permethrin cream on the whole family and none of us have had any new spots, and DH's itchiness is all gone. The kids never got anything. I guess we were...

You and your family have been in my thoughts all day. I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. :hugs:

We're starting to try finger foods, but he isn't really getting much in his mouth yet. He still nurses 5+ times/ day.

Breakfast: oatmeal or quinoa flakes with fruit (mashed pears, peaches,...

Well, I spend all day yesterday washing everything in hot water and drying on high heat. I bagged all pillows, stuffed animals, etc, vacuumed real well, scrubbed all floors, flipped the mattress...

Well, we're all covered in pesticide and off to bed. I have breastmilk in the freezer, so I decided to just give DS bottles tonight instead of nursing. Hopefully this works.

Bridget-thank you...

DH couldn't get in until this afternoon, but he said he actually saw a couple brown spots come to the surface of some new sores this morning, so I'm sure it is scabies. Ughhhhhhh...... I am going...

Dang....not the update I wanted to hear. I'm so sorry you're still dealing with it. I guess we'll just wait to see what the doctor says this morning. What about pets? We have a dog--if this is...

Hey Bridget--I'm curious how you're all doing now. I think my husband has scabies, and I may have a patch on my belly. We thought it was poison ivy because he spends all of his free time in our...
