Pumping while away from baby for the weekend?
Mandy asked:
I’m preg with baby #2 and I’m planning to breastfeed. My husband and I are taking a kid-free vacation weekend when our baby will be 4 months old. How often and for how long must I pump during the weekend to keep my supply up?? I’m terrified that I’ll reduce my supply and never get it back to where it was.
I have a medela electric double.
How long do I need to pump for each time? 10, 15, 20 minutes?

Is baby powder safe to use in my ferrets litter to help with the odor?
sweetaimers21 asked:
My ferrets stink. I have that spray stuff but it only temporarily masks the smell. I use baby powder for everything else, carpet, shoes, linens, etc…. I was wondering if baby powder would be safe for my ferrets to sprinkle on top of their litter or on the bottom before i put new litter in. Tell me if you truly know the answer because I dont want to do anything that could hurt or kill my little friends.

My friend wants to give me a baby shower for my 2nd?
fyrechick asked:
this will be my 2nd child but first girl. I really do not need anything besides diapers and baby supplies since she can use most of her brothers things. I requested that it be a low key affair, maybe after the baby is born so it will be more of a “meet the baby” party. I also requested to not ask for gifts as I do not want to come off looking greedy but in all honesty any help we recieve is greatly appreciated. Is is tacky to have a “meet the baby” party? She said nicely that I need to back off and let her throw the party but I do have this feeling. Is it the horomones or what LOL any suggestions or comments. Thanks

How long does it take to increase milk supply?
LMH425 asked:
My baby is 3 1/2 weeks old. I have been breastfeeding him a little bit, but I want to do it exclusively. I’m nursing and/or pumping every 2 hours or so hoping that my supply will increase. It’s very low right now as a result of using formula so much. How long will I have to do this nursing/pumping every 2 hours until it actually makes a difference? the increase has been very little, if any, so far and I started it yesterday morning.

How can I get my little boy to eat his baby food?
Rosalind55 asked:
I have been feeding my little boy solids since he was about 5 months old, he is now 9 months and he will hardly eat any baby food! Mayber 1/2 a jar to 3/4 a jar a day, plus rice cereal in his night bottle. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get him to eat more? I am a ****** feeding working mother and I pump at work, however, my milk supply is getting lower and lower and I would like to start him on more solids. Thanks for anybody’s helpful hints!
