Kids Eating Better

On the Weekends, from Friday thru Sunday, my boyfriend and I has his two kids. One boy who is nine and a girl who is seven. I love them dearly, however, all they want to eat and will eat are hotdogs all weekend for every meal and no veggie. I am luck if the boy eats at least an apple. I am firmly putting my foot down with my man that they need to start eating what we do. I have two kids also, and I won't let them eat like his kids do. I am tired of hotdogs and I don't think they need them that much. I have tried to get them to eat corn,...

At 18 Months, Is Breast Feeding Reason to Withhold 24 Hour or Longer Visitation?

Hey mom's, I'm a dad. I have an 18 month lil'boy and I enjoy nothing more than spending time with him and taking him to museums, parks, beaches, play dates, play grounds, family, etc. We are inseparable when we are together, even for as long as 48 hours. We have a strong bond and he entrusts in me his every need. But I am a single dad and I share my lil'dude with his mother. During my longer visitation, I give his mother the opportunity to breast feed for a couple hours, then I resume my visit. At 18 months, she absconded with my...

Not Producing Enough Milk for 3 Week Old Infant- Supplement?

My 3 week old infant has a huge appetite. My milk supply is in and he eats everything that I produce plus what I pump but at certain times of the day he's still super hungry. (So far he's gaining weight with no problem). We've been supplementing with an additional 2 oz of formula 1 to 2 times a day but I'm wondering if this is the best approach- should we try to hold him off instead to wait for breastmilk to replenish? Will this have an adverse effect on my supply? I pump between some of the feedings (not all); he doesn't seem to have...

How Much Solid Food?

Does anyone know the amount of solid food a 7.5 month old should be getting? I feed her solids 3x a day - about 2.5 teaspoons. But she seems starving! She is now nursing every 1.5 hours during the day (unless she is napping) and it is driving me nutso! She is not going through a growth spurt as this has been going on for over 2 weeks now, and gs last 3 days. So - can I up the solids? Not sure.....?

Taking Back My Health Since I've Become a Mom 9 Yrs Ago...

I need some advice: I'm only 44 but feel 60 and I want to start being healthy again. I have started riding my bike but I'm sensitive to the sun, I think, as I get migraines after riding and after gardening in the community gardens. These activities are my most favorite things to do, but then I'm shut down by these darn migraines....My prescriptions are very costly and I can only get so much per month. I have lost 5 #s in the last 2 months, but I feel I need to gain some control of the family diet, like the "white stuff" my kids harp for. I...
