I am having so much pain when my son feeds on my left breast. He has two bottom teeth and two top teeth and has two more coming in on the top. I don't think it's from the latch because I don't think that an 8 month old could just start latching wrong. On the left side of my areola, very close to my nipple are a couple of bumps that don't seem like the normal ones that are there when you get cold or whatever. They're kind of just swollen all the time. I read something about milk blisters? Not sure if that's what it is though but there is more than one. Has anyone every experienced these or know what I could do. I was in labor for 12 hours and didn't make a peep but I want to scream while he's eating because it hurts so bad!!

I'm sorry for being quite graphic, but I just don't know how else to explain it and that's what this thing is for anyways right?

Thanks in advance for any help or advice.

 Oh also I don't want to call my doctors office because they are pretty much A-holes and my doctor left the practice there but doesn't start at her new office until Monday so I don't want to deal with them. 

Baby's First Autumn and he LOVES the crackling leaves.... I LOVE HIM!! 

Just wondering how everyone gets the breastmilk to mix into the rice/oatmeal cereal to make it. I had a very hefty supply in stock of frozen BM (to the point where we needed to store it at other peoples houses also...) I'm now down to my last 10 bags just about. I'm not sure what to do after that's gone. I haven't been pumping unless he is away from me which is usually only 1 or 2 times a week and for 1 feeding only. But I'll need to use that pumped milk soon for his feeding because I won't have anymore in stock. Do I pump in between feedings?

 

My poor little man has an ear infection! The first time he's really been sick (7 months old on friday) and it's heart breaking. He wasn't even pulling at his ears at all and wasn't really having a hard time sleeping or eating, the eating was spread out a little more but he still was eating. Then last night he wouldn't eat before bed and his temp went from 100.2 to 102 in a half hour and that was with tylenol after the 100.2. He woke up this morning without a fever but I still made an appointment and I'm very glad I did. I was surprised to hear ear infection... I thought breastfed babies are supposed to be protected from ear infections? My husband took him to the appointment because of my home daycare so I couldn't talk to the doctor about it. And on that note the kiddos just woke from nap #1.....

My son has had sweet smelling breath/saliva for a few weeks now. It started a week before his first tooth popped but I don't know if that's just a coincidence. He bites his blankie's (that he needs with him all the time) and I was it and then after one nap it smells already. Sometimes it makes his hands smell too because he bites them so much.

 Has this ever happened to anyone before or does anyone know what this could be from? I don't want my baby to be smelly It didn't really bother me until my husband said "we have the smelly kid hunny" and I got mad. 

 

I brush his gums/teeth twice a day..... 

I was wondering how many times a day you feed your baby solids? My son is almost 7 months and I just moved him up to twice a day. But the nutrition from bm is still better then the food right? So anyone that wants to, could you let me know how many times a day for solids and at what age? thanks!

My son has been teething and his 2 bottom teeth have popped out. He has been sleeping so much!!! I'm not complaining I want him to rest if he needs to but I just didn't know if that's normal. I've heard of them not sleeping because of the pain but he seems to be always tired like all weekend would wake up want to eat and maybe play for 10-15 minutes and then be whining to lay down again. The only other thing though is that he wants to lay on me to fall asleep and I can not be out of his sight. He has always been a baby that I could lay in his crib drowsy but awake and he would fall asleep on his own with his music. Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

My son just had his 2 bottom teeth pop. He is 6 1/2 months old. I'm just wondering if any of you breastfeed your child that has teeth and does it end up hurting from them? I don't want to stop bf him. He bit me today and it really hurt and I can only imagine it will be worse as they continue to come out.

I'm getting frustrated during feedings because he keeps latching off and on and pulling at my nipple and biting sometimes and he's hurting me! I get so frustrated, he's such a wiggly eater anyways ( I guess it fits that I call him bug ) that I usually have to hold his hand to get him to calm down. I've been having to feed him with a Nursing cover this week (it's very lightweight and 100% cotton so I don't think it's from anything like that) and he gets so mad and starts crying and tries to pull it off of him. The reason I have to feed him with a cover is because I opened my home daycare this week and I don't think parent's would appreciate their provider exposing her breast to their children! haha He's not really sure what's going on either with other kids being here and Mama's attention is not all on him so he's been getting a bit upset and he is really the best baby and doesn't really cry and he has been pretty fussy and just wants me if we are out of the house. Like at his grandparents for example he didn't want anyone to hold him he just looked at me and makes this really sad whining sound with a sad face like he's afraid I'm going to leave him and I feel so bad but I also feel bad if I take him back away from other people who want to spend time with him.

I have tried a nursing necklace but really didn't stick with it so maybe I should try that again. We went through Thrush about two months ago and that was awful and so painful but I continued to nurse him through the pain. I started feeling it coming on again about 2 weeks ago so my DR gave me a script for APNO gel (because my son ended up having a reaction to the gentian violet). It seems to help but usually I have pain during and right after the feeding that lasts a little while and if I don't go put the gel on right away I forget. It is helping me when I remember to use it though. 

I really love nursing him!!!! SO MUCH!! I don't want to give up. I just wish he would stop being so wiggly... I'm in pain and I feel like my DH doesn't really get it and I wish that he would encourage me without me having to ask for it! I feel like he should be saying that he's glad I'm still bf and that he's proud of me for doing that for our DS even though it's painful sometimes.

Thanks for letting me vent........
