Substitute for FloVent and Claritin ??

Hello mamas, My son has sports induced asthma and has been on Flo-vent to control it. He's also taking Claritin for his allergies/sneezing. He's been on both for about a year and it seems that he's gained a bunch of weight since then. His eating habits have not changed, we don't eat fast food, junk or processed foods, we eat pretty healthy, so I don't think it's his diet I was doing some research online and see that that could be one of the side effects for both meds.

My son often gets runny nose/cough symptoms and my pediatrician has recommended that I try putting him on Claritin to manage those symptoms.

Need to Be Freed from Breast Feeding

Ok Ladies, My beautiful 2yr old daughter is addicted to my breasts. I am to a point where I don't know what to do. SHE WONT GET OFF!!! We live with my mother for now, and I tried to just say no and let her cry, but then my mom gets involved, and start fussing about her crying and how it disturbs her and the neighbors (she never breast feed and doesn't understand). I feel trapped in the world of breast feeding. It doesn't even feel natural anymore. I want my body back but have this 2yr old attached to it!! I also tried using her sippy cup...
