Connor's Mommy

I stopped breastfeeding my son at the one year mark, probably October 2012. I can still squeeze BOTH my breasts and get a little "milk". My real question is about 5 weeks ago I noticed one nipple just above the actual nipple where leakage would be was crusty. I have applied creams, neosporin, lanolin etc. The crust comes back. I have NO pain....no tenderness etc. If I wipe away the crust....easily....it is red, a bit puffy and looks as if it will start bleeding but does not. When I look this up the only thing coming up is breast cancer!! I am only about to turn 26. I have had cervical cancer which is rare at my age though. Anyone have an idea OTHER than breast cancer? Or did someone have this that did turn into cancer? No lump or anything else to go with this......

I have a vacation home in Mexico about 5 hours outside of Arizona.....is there any TV provider that can provide me service?

I live 50% of the time in San Carlos Mexico, it is only about 5 hours past the border of Arizona. Is there any company, direct TV, Comcast etc that can give me service or a box that would work down there?

I have a 93 honda civic with about 163,000 miles. Car runs great but lately and only sometimes, when I am shifting, when I start releasing the clutch and pressing the gas I feel this "click" IN BOTH the gas and clutch..... when this click initially happens I really have to press the gas because at first it is like the car wont go faster then it clicks over and it is as if i "stepped" on the gas really hard, it goes faster and it jolts a little. WHY?!?!?

My drivers license has been suspended for I think a bit over 2 years.....no dui, or anything just had not paid a ticket and then kept getting pulled over suspended. the date has finally come and my license is clear to reinstate. am I going to need to take the drive test again? it was suspended in CO but now i am reinstating in CA.....

We were drinking last night and playing around outside and what not and we came inside and were playing around (not messing around just playing) and he all the sudden hit me (close hand) in the eye. My eye is fine not even black but it did hurt and was a bit swollen for a few hours, when I woke up it was ok looking. My question is.....I kicked him out this morning and I don't know if that was an over reaction or if that was the right thing to do. We just moved together to a state where only I have family and friends and he know no body and has no where to go.......what do I do?

I work 100% from home and live in a different state than my job......they take taxes out i just dont think they are supposed to.....are they?

My son's father and I had been together for 4 years when I had our son but we were never married and fought all the time. I just won SOLE custody and got permission to move out of state with our son. In the last year though our relationship has very much improved and he is getting his job transferred to follow us. I also was given child support and chose to go through the state for the payments. I am crazy but lets say if we got married before I left in two weeks...... would that change any of the legal stuff from court or would I still get child support and have sole custody?

So I have been noticing some behavior from my 9 month old son that is concerning me a bit. He is a pretty happy baby but VERY Mommy oriented. He is a smart boy....always around older kids and picks up on things fast. He has been crawling since 5 months and started walking along things by 7 months. Lately when he is doing something that needs redirection and I try and redirect him, he gets very upset. Earlier he was eating shoes and when he got to a pair that I did not want him chewing on I picked him up. He starting crying right away and grabbed my shirt and started shaking it! Is this normal at this age to act like this? I gently told him to calm down and he did pretty quickly, I guess it just really surprised me that he acted so "violently". Anyone experience this?

My son is just about 9 months old. I plan on making sure he is drinking my milk for the full first year so that I don't need to use formula at all. I strictly pump milk, I have not latched him to the breast since the first 2 months. I have always produced enough milk just pumping too. I hate pumping though and plan on literally stopping on his first birthday. I have been told to start slowing my pumping schedule as soon as his 10th month, so not to stop the process to fast, so not to get engorged. My concern is that I have been only pumping 4 times a day for a few months now, I produce about 30 oz a day and he drinks most of it, sometimes all of it. What should I do when I start weaning if he wants more milk one day than usually and I don't have it? A cup of juice? haha So if you have strictly pumped, please let me know what your process of stopping was......

My baby is 7 months old and is already walking along furniture....so he is quite ahead of the game.....he still naps 3 times a day. I sit him in his highchair at every mean and sometimes in between to eat what he wants and I help him too. He has his sippy cup of breast milk next to him all day long for when he wants it, it is always available for him. My issues is he is still waking up quite a few times a night for his cup or pacifier....I am not convinced it is because he is hungry, I think it maybe because it is comforting.... What would you do? I am considering only giving him a cup of water at night, rather than milk to see if after a bit he will be less inclined to wake up for water? Or is he still young and should have his cup of milk if he wakes up for it?

I have had a major diet change in the past week, from VERY healthy limited carb to boxed processed foods....(eek) I also have ulcerative colitis and hemorrhoids as well since giving birth. I have not had issues with either of those two for a few months though. The other day, I noticed my stool was VERY dark, looked black really but not any out of ordinary consistency. Then yesterday it turned to a paste like consistency but I was able to see that the stool was dark but not black. I took something to try and loosen and unconstipate myself because I had started to feel bloated too.... now I can see how bloated I am and it hurt....is there something I can do? I cant take medications due to breastfeeding??

I am a breastfeeding Mom of a 7 month old boy. My teeth have always been sensitive to cold things and I have used sensodyne tooth paste my whole life from what I can remember. When I stop using it for even one week my teeth really hurt. Lately my teeth have been painfully sensitive....I went to the dentist for this reason just 3 months ago and they did not give me a reason for the sensitivity but did say it could be breastfeeding. They fixed a very small cavity too. I have always had pretty strong teeth. I know there is no big dental problem so I am wondering....did breastfeeding make your teeth painful to cold things? Did it go away after you were done? Is there anything I can do other than the toothpaste to help for the mean time?? =( I am at the point of almost quitting breastfeeding because a sip of cold water hurts sooooo much.

So I am a single mother and this week I had to move twice! Hard situation to explain but now I just moved to our new place and my baby has been screaming for hours now! HOURS!! I feel like he is probably way tired and feels funny because of the new place but he has never been like this before! He wont calm down. The only new thing around is a cat.....could he be allergic? are his teeth coming in? It is hard to tell normal allergy things because he has had a runny nose for a few days now due to my friends son.....I dont know what to do ;( its breaking my heart!! I have tried Gripe water, teething gel, his bottle, pacifire, diaper.....

Kegel exercise eggs that are a set of different sizes.....I can find them online but none of the adult stores have them and it will be a pain to try stopping at every asian store to find them. Does anyone know??

I would like answers from just mothers/fathers of BOYS being that boys and girls do things a bit differently and I would like weeks NOT MONTHS that he started crawling because month wise my son is 6 months but week wise would put him at 8 months LOL and my doctor told me he was very advanced for his age so I am curious if they are just dumb =)

I am breastfeeding and am wondering if wheatgrass is safe? I also gave my 6 month old a very,very little in his bottle mixed with my milk and he loved it....was this dumb? :/

Is it okay/safe to drink wheatgrass while breastfeeding? Is it okay to allow my 6 month old a little? I had some today in my juicer with carrots and an apple and I poured about 1/2oz into my babies 4 oz bottle of milk....is that bad?

So I have a 1.5 year old that will just eat, eat, eat..... I mean no joke! I eat strictly organic and natural. My kids don't eat cookies etc. They think banana's are dessert =) The 1.5 year old is NOT over weight at all but he will eat as much as you are willing to give him, I have NEVER seen him "full" or not accepting of food. For breakfast (usually oatmeal) he will eat 6x the amount that I get full off of if I let him and then still want more. If he eats a meal and I take him down to run around and then I get myself some, he will cry, kick, scream wanting me to feed him it as if I starve him!!! Has anyone else experienced this will a VERY young child? Should I feed him as much as he wants or am I correct to cut him off once he has passed an adult portion of food?!?!

are you open to date a young lady that has a child between 0-1 year old when the father is NOT in the picture? Or is it awkward or what? Tell me your thoughts.....
