these include having the baby (when you are in labor, not all the stuff before), baby vitamins, doctor visits (checkups every 3 months and an average of 4 sick visits per year), health insurance, and OTC medicines.

drtabby2b asked:
I think I am pregnant again! Wasn’t expecting to be so soon!(and yes I did get birth control, but this isn’t the first time it didn’t work for me) My baby is only 7 weeks old and I am exclusivly breastfeeding. I have been having some pregnancy symptoms but it’s still to early to test. I did already have a period ( which I had a medical professional confirm because I didn’t think that was possible so soon) so I could definitely be pregnant. Problem is my milk supply has dramatically decreased the last 2 or 3 days and the baby is hungry all the time. Could this be from pregnancy? If so is there anything I can do to get it up? IF I am pregnant will I have to switch to formula? Thanks for the help!

C asked:
Originally, I chose to breastfeed but am unable to continue for medical reasons. Now my breasts are sore and sometimes feel full but I have been told by friends and family not to pump. I have heard that binding or wearing a tight bra helps, but I found that medical professionals advise against this. I also cannot use cabbage leaves because I’m allergic to sulfa. Am I at risk for mastitis? Please do not answer just to tell me that I really should breastfeed; I sure would if I could!
My son (my first child) is only 2 1/2 weeks old. I tried breastfeeding on and off since his birth and finally quit 3 days ago. Thank you!

I don’t want the one that sells in general stores for 25-35 they don’t work. I don’t know of any medical supply places that sell them. I could really use some help.
Thank you

psymom asked:
The baby’s only symptoms were 102 degree fever and fussiness/not able to sleep. She is one month old. Also, they are running all sorts of tests with her–blood, urine (standard, I know) and they also did a spinal tap. Now, I would like to think that the hospital is just being very very thorough. HOWEVER–my cynical/realistic side is saying, there is something going on here. It’s not like the hospital is going to get a bunch of insurance money–the mother (and baby) have a medical card. Anyone else think this is weird?
Keep in mind that I am “just” the nana. I can’t ask the nurses questions. My son and his girlfriend say that that is just their policy to keep them there for that long. They do want to see if she has meningitis, but she does not have symptoms of meningitis except the fever. There is no vomiting, no photophobia, no stiff neck. I find it odd that when my baby niece had a fever, they did not hospitalize her. I don’t think I’m being paranoid–I only think it is strange.
