Happy Lactation Counstant Day! Mar 7th 2012, 08:44 Having a lactation consultant (IBCLC), sometimes called an LC, help you is a huge deal. Not everyone is able to receive care from an IBCLC when having a baby. But those who have been touched - remember to reach out to say thanks today, IBCLC day. There's a section of cake art, a crossword puzzle, and you can even download a certificate for your IBCLC or practitioner from the International Lactation Consultants Association (ILCA) for free to say thanks to your LC. How will you celebrate? Related: When to Call a Lactation Consultant Did your hospital help you breastfeed?

About Pregnancy & Childbirth: SIDS: A Personal Story

About Pregnancy & Childbirth Pregnancy & Childbirth

SIDS: A Personal Story Mar 6th 2012, 18:20 I'm sitting here today remembering my nephew, Nathan. I got the news that Nathan had died overnight. It was SIDS - Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Previously I had only heard of SIDS on TV in shows like Quincy or on the news. Nathan died in March 1992, it was just before the American Academy of Pediatrics published their "back to sleep" campaign starter in April 1992 to reduce the number of SIDS deaths. Thankfully it has worked for many parents as one of the ways to reduce the risk factors for SIDS. Do you know what the risk factors are and what you can do to help prevent SIDS in your family?

About Pregnancy & Childbirth: One wants to know the sex of the baby - one doesn't...

About Pregnancy & Childbirth Pregnancy & Childbirth

One wants to know the sex of the baby - one doesn't... Mar 6th 2012, 09:16 So every time I'm pregnant, my husband and I try to decide if we'll find out the sex of the baby before the baby is born, usually at the regular mid-pregnancy ultrasound. Most of the time one of us wants to know and the other doesn't. Though we have both known, both not known and have had one know but not told the other... (How is that for variety?) I find out I'm not alone in this situation, that many parents feel split. Though you wouldn't guess it from the stories out there of everyone who always finds out, or at least that's the way it seems. (Kind of like all the high school kids are having sex.) So don't panic if you're having trouble deciding what's right for your family.

About Pregnancy & Childbirth: Weaning Your Baby

About Pregnancy & Childbirth Pregnancy & Childbirth

Weaning Your Baby Mar 4th 2012, 09:38 Recently, someone I worked with saying that his wife was getting ready to wean their baby, who was just over one. He mentioned his wife was going to be sad. I had to ask the question, then why wean? He told me that she was ready and had done an amazing job. It just reminded me that there is so much that goes into breastfeeding other than science and food. The decision to wean your baby from the breast can be simple or complex, how and when to wean is different for every family. Here are some suggestions to help you make weaning a smooth process. What are some good weaning tips that worked for you?
