Jodie/others, how do you go about filling out summer camp forms requesting physician signoff? I know Jodie has shown this before, but I forget. I can elect the exemption for vaccinations, but our form in OH has a physician physical section and I just can’t remember the wording you’ve used to basically say, none of your business but also… Read more

Happy to report issues have ceased! I think the key was 2 chiropractor visits to ensure alignment and lots of love, snuggles, naps and stress management for myself. We tested for UTI and had very trace amounts indicating potential infection and treated a few days with d-mannose and cranberry. I think what really did it thought as the chiropractor work.

Happy to report milk production has gone up and is at satisfactory levels to help baby grow at a better clip and be satisfied. She gained 12oz in 2 weeks with increased milk and more solid food intake. She just needs to catch up a bit and hoping all can even out.

I think I got my milk back in order, or order enough so that I can pump enough at strategic times to save some for a bottle at night when milk was pretty low or low enough babe would get so frustrated and give up.  I always offer the breast… Read more

I have an 8.5 mo and she’s been exclusively breastfed since birth and I suspected she wasn’t getting as much milk in the evenings, but now it seems she’s not getting enough except for the first morning feed. Her weight has not increased much, and is nearly flat for about 2 months. I don’t have enough milk stored to last me more than a few weeks… Read more
