Help, My Baby Won't Take a Bottle

I am going back to work in 3 weeks and my son, who is 8 weeks old, will not take a bottle. I have tried Born Free, Playtex and Medela bottles and he just cries when I try to feed him with them. I have also tried to have other people feed him while I am out of the room. Please help!

Bleeding After C-section

I am 10 weeks, 1 day post c-section (where I was blessed with an amazing little boy), and the bleeding has come back (I've had maybe 7-8 days total where I have had no bleeding). I've also been light-headed, having some fairly bad abdominal pain (that DOES NOT feel like cramps), and a bit nauseous. I've called my ob/gyn a couple of times and each time they tell me that I'm having my first "real" period after my c-section, and frankly, I'm tired of hearing that because this doesn't feel like a period. In addition, I am taking the mini...

Playtex Drop-Ins System

With my 2 1/2 year old, we tried nearly every bottle on the market before he settled on the Avent bottles.

Help with Lactation

Does anyone have any tips on promoting better lactation. I have a 4 week old son and have had to put him on formula because my breastmilk production has gone way down (about 2-3 oz per DAY. My pediatrician told me to try an herb called fenugreek but I have yet to notice a change. Has anyone ever used this herb, does it work? I've also been told to drink 1-2 beers a night and this will help, I haven't tried it but has anyone else? Or does anyone have any other tips? Please let me know, I am desparate!!!

Any Ideas on How to Get Some Sleep While Being 35 Weeks Pregnant?

I am 35 weeks pregnant and I am having the hardest time staying asleep. I have a lot of pressure on my pelvis and have been having slight contractions. This is my first baby and I am not sure how I am supposed to feel. Also what are some natural ways to help back pain (I was in a bad car accident in 2005 where I was rear ended and ever since then my lower back has always hurt) now it just hurts worse now that I am carrying extra weight. For my sleep part though I usually take two benadryl before going to bed. That usually helps me stay...
