Thanks everyone!
Irish, he eats solids 3x a day plus snacks, but I'm not supplelmenting with formula if that's what you mean. I will try and nurse more for a bit with compresses too. I'm not totally ready to wean but again, not sure I'm prepared for the billions of pills I'd need to pop but the tea is a great idea! Can I find this at the grocery store at all?
Lilmrshappy- the problem started when he wanted to nurse more and now it seems like there just isn't enough there even though he's not nursing more (if that makes any sense).
JDF-no idea about cycle since I haven't had AF back yet, but I'm on mirconor and in my last week of pills. I have about 6 bags in freezer at this point.
One plus-its nice to know I'm not alone!
I also forgot to mention that I started weight watchers almost 2 months ago, and have been eating the extra nursing points and have no problems with milk supply up until this point. Should I put that on hold at the moment?

Hi all,
For the past 2 days it seems there's a lot less milk then their used to be for DS. He nurses about 4 times a day for 10mins each time. On Tues he was feeling under the weather with a fever and wanted to nurse more and there just wasn't anything there to give him - I know its a supply and demand thing but now its 2 days later and he doesn't want to nurse anymore than normal and there seems to be milk for a few mins and then he gets mad and off the breast he comes. 9/10 times I can't hand express anythin either, but the times I can he's still unhappy (maybe with the letdown not to his liking)?
I'm not sure what to do because I was going to start weaning him from the daytime feeds at 12 months (June 5) and just keep maybe the early morning and bedtime feeds. I am not prepared to pump either since I only get 1 ounce after like 15mins. I just felt so bad for him when I couldn't comfort him when he wasn't feeling well with what he really wanted
and not sure where to go from here. Any advice is appreciated.

I find that Pampers fit the best for my DS, but I"m looking for a cheaper alternative. I've tried the Luvs brand from the states and really like them (other than the strong baby powder smell), but I'm sure their is something even cheaper and more convienent that I can get here. So please share ones that you have found that have worked well! I have long skinny baby.

My DH is planning on buying a new car this week. He's been to the dealership several times already to test drive etc, and only talked about prices once. It seems that the interest rate has recently dropped making the payments $150 less a month so he's really keen to buy before the end of the month when the new "incentives" or whatever they're called roll out.
He wants to negotiate but we have no idea what if anything we can negotiate on? Price? Interest rate? Free tinting etc?
Any help or tips are appreciated as we have never done this before and have no idea how it works!

I am thinking of joining weight watchers and going to meetings and was just wondering what to expect? I have done WW online on 2 separate occasions (once successfully and once not). I would like to loose about 15-20lbs. I feel like I need the meetings to be accountable and I'd like to learn about better eating habits etc. I know they do a weigh in, but what else happens? Do you have to pay extra for the materials? I am thinking if joining for a few months and then continuing on my own. Any info is appreciated.

Densielovesmike, can you define easier to use? Because as it stands I can't figure out the ratch system in the truefit at all..maybe with some more practice (and the help of the other post I made) I could figure it out. I think A+A mentioned it has the same harness as the Safety 1st...
so does anyone know what carseats don't have the ratch or continuous loop thing? It seems that most do.

It was awful to install using a seat belt with the lock off clips because the seat belt placement and this little plastic knob on the actual seat belt was right in the way. I'm sure if I was able to use the UAS it would be much easier. Would it be frowned upon to put it up to the 2nd level if DS isn't 22 lbs? I don't see it being at a much different angle than our bucket seat.
babybeans, maybe i'm just carseat illerate! thank you for the instructions I will definately try to tighten the straps before I do in the crotch buckle. Maybe I should practice on a doll since DS is not amused when I attempt to use this thing! LOL

I am so frusterated...DS sleep has gone out the window. He rolls onto his stomach and can't roll back so then he whines and cries or as of a few days ago he can now push up on all fours and get into a sitting position...next I'm sure he's going to be standing. I'm just not sure how to approach this. Do I just keep turning him over 1000 times. Sometimes he will pass out, other times I just give up in frusteration. Today he's only napped 30 minutes and I just want to cry. I have let him CIO for awhile but that doesn't usually result in him sleeping. I've tried to put on his side and pat his bum and on occassion that will work, but most often he fights it

After having several issues with this thing, I finally got it installed via the seatbelt (old car). It seems to be more reclined than my bucket seat, is this normal? DS doesn't seem to like it reclined so much and is straining his neck to hold it up higher. It is at the 1st level or whatever its called.
Also I can't figure out how to tighten the straps. Any tips? I'm thinking you have to pull both of them at the same time..but its hard to do that with one hand and pull the strap thing that's wedged into the seat which is also a PITA. I can barely access it. Any help would be appreciated as right now I want to chuck this thing in the river!!!!!!!!

Trying to narrow it down between these car seats
Britax Marathon
Graco MyRide 65
Safety 1st Complete Air
Evenflo Triumph
I bought the TruFit for my DH's car because its tiny and had mostly good reviews... but I hate the harness adjustment. I think its because it is ratchet style maybe where you have to pull both staps at the same time to tighten it? So I'm wondering if any of the ones I've listed aren't that way. It's also really hard to pull the strap tight on the TruFit when RF. What I liked about the Evenflo was the knob on the side to eliminate this problem all together?
The Marathon caught my eye because it's on sale tomorrow.
I drive a Chevy Equinox so I'm pretty sure space isn't an issue.

I've been making my DS meat purees with some kind of potato and veg since 6 months and he eats it right up. He will eat the jar stuff, but I agree that it smells gross. I have tasted the food I have given him and its really not that bad. I would try and make your own and see if he likes it better. But as other posters have said, have you tried to give him bigger chunks of meat or more BLW style? If we have steak, we cut a strip off for DS and he goes nuts and will suck on it for 20 mins. Same with pork chops etc. These things are also marinated which probably make them even tastier. Chicken/turkey seem to be more difficult as they fall apart easier and are a bit gritty so I haven't tried giving him pieces in awhile. They recommend starting meats at 6 months now for the iron.
