Best Advice to Moms having Difficulty Breastfeeding

Not all moms find breastfeeding easy. What's your best piece of advice to a mom experiencing difficulty?
www.cnn.com
Orit Avishai says that touting breastfeeding as natural and intuitive creates unnecessary pressure on women who find it difficult.
    • Mine advice is ask for help-whether a good friend, lactation consultant or La Leche League. Most difficulties can be overcome, but personal help and support (not just a google search) seem to be critical.

Toddler left in hot car...

Just saw the saddest situation at the grocery store. A mom left her toddler in the car-no AC- to go into store. Not sure how long & baby appeared ok, but the police were involved. This just makes the pit of my stomach hurt. Esp in Phoenix, minutes can be too long. I just want to believe she forgot the baby was in the car. I can't imagine a mom purposely leaving a toddler in an SUV in 100+ heat. The mom seemed pretty shook up. I just can't believe it.

Woman doesn't know she's pregnant until delivery day!

Could you ever see this (hidden pregnancy) happening to you? I'd have to be in a serious case of denial. I get that some of the physical "showing" could be hidden depending on body type, but I get too gross feeling in the beginning not to go to the doctor-even if I thought there was no way I was pregnant.

Bikinis for Pregnant Mom....A Do or a Don't?

Saw this video re: dos & don'ts of wearing a bikini while pregnant. Is wearing a bikini while big pregnant a do for you or a don't?

The celebs do it, why shouldn't any other mom. I think if you've got the bod & want to, go for it. However, the recent seeming obsession the media has with talking about all these new celeb moms who are bikini-ready one month after giving birth concerns me. I've had 6 kids & I loose my baby weight, but it takes so time. I was really disturbed at how magazines, etc. kept talking about Jessica Simpson gaining too much weight, looking huge, etc. She's really petite (like 5ft), she's going to be all baby! I know first hand it's frustrating to go up & down the scale, but you're growing a human!!! After the baby is born, even if a mom chooses not to breastfeed, her body continues to be under an incredible workload. It seems people have come to love the pregnant body, but let's give the post-baby stretched out tummy, extra hippiness & engorged chest some love! =)

When to start solid foods

I've always started them with a really ripe avocado. Easy to mash and so full of nutrients. I typically start around 6 months, sometimes earlier--for example, started Tommy at 4-5 months bc he was literally salivating every time we sat down to a meal and grabbing at the food.

When did you start your baby on solid foods? What was the first food?
