A Breastfeeding, Solids, and Baby Weight Question:
Hi MFP Mommies! Max had his 9 month appt yesterday. He weighs 18lbs 11oz. At his 6 month appt he weighed 18lbs 2oz. He's only gained 9oz in three months. This also drops him from 50th %ile to around 25th %ile for weight. He's 100th %ile for height. The doctor said it's probably because he's so active (crawling, standing,…

The MIL Vent Thread
I'm sure a lot of you have a Mother-in-Law. I'm sure your MIL is kind and lovely.

Talk To Me About Strollers!
We currently have a little Peg Perego stroller that our car seat snaps into. It's great for urban cruising but we (actually, I) want something all-terrain that can handle regular trail walks and jogs. What are you using, and do any of you have recommendations for a good off-road stroller? I'm looking for: -three wheels…

When are you going to have another one?
I keep telling my husband that I love having a baby and that I always want to have one. How about you guys? When are you planning to have another baby? Are you waiting to reach a health/fitness goal first? Want your kids spaced out a certain number of years? Are you even ready to think about going through labor & delivery…
