seamonster from the Womanly Art of BF, Ch 10 Nine to Eighteen Months: On the Move "Is a chipped tooth causing nipple pain? Baby teeth chip easily, but the razor sharpness that can result is also easily dealt with. A few seconds with an emery board will usually smooth any sharp edges. Your toddler may appreciate the result as much as you do!" No first hand experience.
File my child's tooth? Gives me the willies thinking about it.
I remembered the suggestion because I thought it was bizarre. But a jagged chipped tooth anywhere near my nip? DNW.

They're pretty jagged when they come in or at least DS's bottom teeth have been that way. I think it's more placement unless there's a mouth guard for babies.
Are you nursing, pumping, supplementing? Nursing when together, pumping when I'm at work
How often is LO having milk feedings? Typically 7x a day. Sometimes 6 when she either takes a long nap or is just too busy playing and getting into mischief!
Solids? Fruits and vegetables. We tried avocado again last night (after she refused it a few other times) and it was a big hit! Going to add in some chicken this week and maybe try Cheerios soon too.
Questions/AW? None at the moment
GTKY: a bit like the formula check in's QOTW if you had a weekend child and pump free, what would you do? Sleep. Drink coffee that is still hot and doesn't need to be reheated 9 times. Sleep more. Drink wine. Sleep more. Eat a meal while it is hot, using both hands, at the same time as DH, without either of us needing to hold a kid on our laps. Simple things.
duckker, DS always got a rash like that when he was teething from all of the extra drool. I tried everything I could think of on it, but what worked best was a thin coat of Vaseline.

I was nodding vigorously while reading this. DH asked what I was up to and I started to explain. He wandered off again when I was mid-sentence. It is not. the same. for them.

I have a question and I apologize if it's TMI. I got my cursed period back today and I know it's not uncommon for your supply to dip when this happens. What do you do to help keep your supply up? Fenugreek? Tea? Extra calories? Help please

Calcium/magnesium supplements often help with hormone related supply dips. Some women need to take at ovulation, some during period, and some both.
From Womanly Art of BF, chapter 10: "A daily dose of 500 to 1,000 mg of a calcium and magnesium supplement from the middle of your cycle through the first three days of your period may help minimize any drop in supply."

Of course if you don't notice a drastic supply difference, kaydee0402, it's not a bad excuse for some lactation cookies ;-) Unless I guess you're doing the dietbet
I've used Natural Calm magnesium for years. Well, until lately--and now that I'm reminded, I'll get some tonight! I love that it's a nice way to unwind at night with a hot drink, the taste is pleasant enough (I like the lemon raspberry), and it addresses a plethora of problems. During pregnancy, I never had issues with leg cramping or bloating until I stopped drinking mag in the last two months. I also noticed that when I started taking it regularly again, Babygirl seemed to sleep better.
I make a smoothie almost every morning and just add all of the active ingredients from the lactation cookies to that. A dollop of peanut butter and some vanilla yogurt pretty much masks the brewer's yeast. If I'm on point, it looks like this:
1 C frozen strawberries/blueberries 1 C spinach or other greens 3/4 C almond or cow milk 1/4 C ground oatmeal 1 T brewer's yeast 1 T ground flax 1 t spirulina/bee pollen (allergies and immune support)
My supply is definitely better when I have my smoothie--and the concentration of the galactagogues is higher, without all of the butter and sugar, so it's diet friendly. I get a couple of extra ounces, at a minimum, those days. If I skip the ground oatmeal I have instant steel cut oats w flax at the office after my midmorning pump and that seems to help, as well.
aggiebug, found this today, which indicates that diarrhea could be related to teething.
Parenting is responsible for both my ability to spell "diarrhea" and my combined uncertainty/lack of energy for researching whether or not this possible connection was already brought up.
ETA: spelling. And also to acknowledge that "researching" basically means "looking at like five whole posts in this same thread". That's how it be today, ladies.
duckker I had heard about that but I couldn't remember if my pediatrician told me that wasn't true or not lol!
Dd also doesn't have teeth yet obviously this bout it could still happen, but I would expect to see teeth after an episode right? And the last 2 haven't produced anything. Hmm.
I'm guessing I can get the calcium/magnesium supplements from GNC?
You can get them wherever you can buy vitamins. It's a really common supplement, but a lot of times it's a Ca/Mg/Zn supplement. But the extra zinc won't hurt.
