As fond of mine were of the yummy mom food, they all eat real food when they are ready. I really think you have to be child led on this because anything else just leads to frustration for all parties. It sounds like ltc is showing interest though so go for it if you and TCG are ready.

Note, diapers get ickier with non-mom food. Just sayin'.

Luckily, though I was born long before we could refer to blog posts, my mother had a good friend who was a nurse. Possibly saved my life when I had measles.

Something occurred to me - do vegans breastfeed? or am I just being weird?

Thank you for all of your recommendations. Root canal was easy peasy! I should stop letting people to get to me with their useless scaring.

Toddson, my vegan friends do!

I couldn't help wondering ... thanks for the response.

Yay, Shir!

Most vegans that I know breastfeed.

For babies on solid food, I know a bunch of people who've used baby-led weaning and swear by it, but I know it's not the usual way of doing things, at least in the US. I don't know all the details of it, but there are a bunch of websites explaining how it works.

Yeah, we experienced some of that when she was on antibiotics.

I need to look into that more. Thanks, Hil.

The boys went directly from breast to sippy cups and it was great for lazy me. No bottles to deal with. I was able to be with them all the time so it was no big deal. Their grandmother really wanted them to wean so she could have them for sleepovers. She was patient.

So despite being sick and feeling like sleeping a lot and still feeling overwhelmed I've managed to contact a health center that does...everything. I'm not sure if it's a federally funded place but they have shrinks and counselors. I need to see a primary first to get a referral if I really need to see one. But the woman I talked to sounded like it would bE a formality. I also got an appointment with a counselor and contacted 2 others. One isn't taking new patients but she gave me the name if someone who might be.

Just realized I need to call United ti make sure that the doctor and counselor are in network.

Still struggling to get Hartford and previous med manager talki.g at this point I haven't been able to get through to the analyst so I'll try again. Or just give up.

I have no idea what I'm getting for my brother or his girlfriend for xmas. Also feeling really anxious right niw so I'm going to figure out something to distract me.
