?

3 weeks to a month ago i had wrist pain on my right. i thought it was carpal tunnel or tendonitis since i decorate cakes a lot. i wore a brace and took it easy on that wrist, and within days the pain was gone. now, i have pain and discomfort in my neck and shoulder on the right side, same side as the wrist. i have limited range of motion in my neck and it hurts when i turn my head in multiple directions. ive gone to the chiropractor, iced it, took ibuprofen, its still in pain. could the 2 be related? and either way, what else can/should i do?

ok. i gave birth a year ago. shortly after, i got the mirena IUD. between the hormones from breastfeeding and the hormones of the mirena, it prevented me from losing any weight. actually, after i got the mirena, i gained 15lbs on top of the 40 i gained from the pregnancy. i recently lost 12lbs so im pretty much back to what i was after i gave birth. i think i lost the weight because i have been breast feeding less. now, since i lost the weight, not be be graphic, but ive been farting much more frequently, and they are smelly and hot. it wasnt like this before. i havent changed my diet whatsoever. i drink a lot of coffee. not a crazy amount, but about a pot of coffee a day. i love carbs. i eat a lot of pasta and bread and cereal, but all of that is whole grain. im a sugarholic/chocoholic, but ive been trying to cut that down to a minimum. i try to get my fruits and veggies in, but i really havent been eating as much as i used to. i have 3 big meals a day and not too much in between. ive been getting whole milk instead of 1% for the daughter, and ive ben drinking more milk too because whole milk tastes better and i wont drink any other. i dont know what else i can tell you, but i need to know what is up with this ridiculous flatulence!! thanks in advance people!

shes nearly a year old. when will it be safe to give her peanut butter?

hi ladies! my almost 10 month old daughter likes to double breasting? when i expose both breasts, she switches fron breast to breast a lot. and/or she grabs the opposite breast and pets it and grabs the nipple and rolls it between her fingers. any of you have your baby do this?

can you be depressed and not even realize it? i feel like im happy with my life and the way it is right now. but my family, including my mom, dad, and brother have noticed changes in my attitude and behavior. ive always felt like a very happy person. i did smoke pot for a few years. i stopped for the most part when i was pregnant and havent done that since, its been over a year. im a single mother. my parents divorced a few years ago, when i was still smoking pot. smokin or not, i feel like nothing has changed. is it possible o be depressed and not even realize it? they say its a new thing, my different behavior. could i have been depressed all along? all my co workers think im an awesome person, and all my customers comment on how happy, upbeat and nice i am. can my mind be blocking everything out? i just dont get how my family can see it but i cant. i looooove my lil girl more than anything, and im not having any bad thoughts like hurting myself or anyone else. but i am always tired. my back and knees hurt. i feel like it doesnt matter how much sleep i get or how much coffee i drink, im still so tired all the time. but i am breastfeeding so i thought that was why. illadmit to not eating properly, by i have neither gained nor lost weight. help?

ok so my 9 month old had some watery poop. a few hrs later, she had a small lil poop, kind of wet, but also, it looked like there was a booger? like a stringy snot? clear/ off white color? is there something wrong here?

ok, ive been breastfeedin for 9 months. ive had mirena for 6 months. randomly i got my period for the 1st time in 18 months today. can i use tampons with mirena? is it safe?

ok. i have a 1998 ford explorer sport edition (2door). recently i replaced all 4 tires, got new front brakes, rotors, and calipers. my check engine light went on, and they shut it off and if it went back on, theysaid it was a slow gas leak. its ben fine for a few weeks, but today it started making a weird noise and i dont feel like its driving right. it sounds like either its growling or kinda like a helicopter. from what i heard, i think its coming from the drivers side, and i hear it when i accelerate and when im in park. its definitely not normal. ive been told that i need to flush my transmission fluid, but ive been told not to because since its an older car, it would screw it up and never run right again. anybody know whats goin on here? what should i do, and would it be worth it to fix, or is it done for good? help?

ok ladies: 1. where can i buy it at a reasonable price? (not online please)

2.how often should i drink it? 3. how long before i start seeing results? 4. is it worth using? ive ben breastfeeding for almost 8 months and my supply seems to be going downhill and i planned on bfing for a year. besides fenugreek and pumping, what other things can i do to increase my milk supply? thanks in advance!

my brother says you use more gas when you use the air conditioner. are the 2 connected in any way, how so, and how significant?

shes 7.5 months. she likes yogurt. seems easier to just put her cerean in her yogurt? i got organic stonyfield 'yo baby' yogurt for her. should i still put formula in the cereal with the yogurt or can i not?

she is 7 months old and it is starting to get warm out! i have tons of floaties and she wont ever be in the water unattended (i know from experience what can happen: my sister was 3 and she just walked right into the pool, no floaties and was walking down the floor of the pool, completely under water, and i jumped in and saved her). im just wondering if it is safe for her at this age to go in a pool or lake? which is better? or none at all? thanks in advance! :)

she clutches onto the side of my breasts and squeezes the hell out of them, pinching and whatnot. and she pulls the nipple out of her mouth and grabs the tip of my nipple with her thumb and index fingers and twists it and squeezes it. and she 'bites' me (she has no teeth) and slides my nipple out slowly and painfully. when i say no in a firm voice and a straight face, she smiles and giggles at me! what do i do?? shes 7 months old.

what is the best, most effective cold medicine that is ok to take while breastfeeding? and does anyone know is food stamps cover medicine?

ladies, what the heck do you do when your kids are with their dad? my daughter goes with her dad for an hour and a half on my days off, such short time because im on demand breastfeeding. im not used to this haha it is nice but it goes by either too quick for me to do anything, or i end up just sitting here thinking about her til its time to pick her up. so, what do i do??

first and foremost, i am breastfeeding my 7 month old baby. (thought i'd throw that out there). my back has been pretty much fine since i had her. but the past few days, i'll be fine all day but by the end of the day, its really bad pain, mid upper back. i do lots of stretches all the time, but nothing helps. it hurts every time i move. anybody have an idea why im suddenly getting all this pain, and what can i do to ease it?

ok so a friend of mine is a single mom like me. she had just gone grocery shopping, and needed to bring it all in plus the baby all by herself. so she grabbed all the bags, left the sunroof open and locked the car, and ran as fast as she could to the door, dropped all the bags, and ran as fast as she could back to the car and grabbed the baby. when she went back to the car, there were people walking by and looking for her, cuz they noticed the baby was in there. she explained her situation and they were still mad about it. whats your view? what would you do?

ok so i pumped at 9 am. did not feed cuz i had to work. pumped at 2 pm and 5pm. fed for 1/2hr after. will pump at 9pm and 12am, and dump because ive been drinking. will my supply be ok? seeing how i only fed one time today and am nervous. i dont want my supply to drop. help!

1) when should i start feeding her meats and when for beginner finger foods? she will be 7 months on the 9th.

2) how will i know when to stop breastfeeding?

3) what are good ways to stimulate her learning at this age?

4) when my brother was a baby (14 years ago) i remember him having teething biscuits, biscuits that would not break no matter how hard he bit. anyone know where i can find those, if they're still around?

5) can carrots constipate my baby?

6) what foods may constipate baby?

7) shes making lots of noises, but not with consonants like baba or dada yet. should i be worried?

thank you everybody in advance :)
