Quoting LittleTiger:" I read the same thing recently. Breastmilk's iron is lower than formula but its more easily absorbed. "

I liked LLLI on FB and that might have been where I originally heard it from

<blockquote><b>Quoting Thorian's Mommy:</b>" So while i was at the doctors yesterday Thorian's doctor seemed to be pushy on Solids. He said that since ... [snip!] ... him that i have to supplement now that he is 4 months old cuz he isn't getting iron from me. Ive never heard of this before "</blockquote>

My doc is the opposite with Gina. She said to give her oatmeal baby cereal fortified with iron and try to hold off from solid until 6 months but she would be happier if we started her on solids closer to a year. We gave her solids last week and she liked it but I think it bothered her stomach so we're gonna hold off for a while.

Lol! I'm hoping he forgave me haha

thanks katrina. Ive always been told that BM is best. This doctor made is sound like it wasnt and that i need to supplement and start solids. He weighs 15pounds 10 oz and is no way needed supplements. He is content with his BM   I am having doubts about this doctor.

clearly he is thriving just fine!
I'm about ready see if I can get the kids in at windham because I'm over their current doctor's office. I like their doctor but it really isn't worth the hassle much anymore. E hasn't gotten in to see the doctor since his 2 month check up

Right? we've always been close to a month behind anyway but then i rescheduled once and that whole process seriously took 3 days because the office manager is lacking in the whole managing thing. Im over it. Thank God E has been healthy and no issues because we'd be screwed. Im writing a letter to the person/persons who are in charge of this branch.

Hey Ladies,
I have a question/problem. I have been having period like cramps, lower Back aches, headaches and mood swings for these past few days. I'm still ebf. I thought it might be af but she never showed. I was wondering if any of you ladies were experiencing the same thing? (I'm buying a test tomorrow)

I was going through photo files today of photos I added to my dd's photo album so I could put them in the right order. There was one of DH holding DD in the birthing suite taken at 4:50pm I had her at 3:33pm I don't remember being in there that long. Time sure is warped after having a baby, must be all that adrenalin hey. I thought we were only in there for about half hour afterwards LOL

Kismet I had period like cramps but then got them the next day but only for a day or 2 which is unusual for me. I had just started dd on solids so maybe that had something to do with it. Maybe my supply dropped a fair bit but then picked up again.

O ok good because I have her some solids but she still nurses even after, my greedy baby, lol.

lol, not greedy :-) My little one has milk feed (both sides) then eats her solids after, eats about 3 tablespoons at moment. Usually she has one solid feed a day sometimes 2

I'll nurse her before and after her solid feeding. Once she ate a whole jar in one seating o___O
