I am fully breastfeeding my two month old but would like to go out for my friend's birthday where I suspect i will want to enjoy a few drinks. I am ok expressing milk for the evening but my question is what do I do when I get back?

Thanks

Question:

I have a 30 month old baby girl who has not grown for about 4 months. She is a tinny baby (85cm and 11kg). She was born premature at 34 weeks (40 cm and 2kg).
Should I be concerned about this?

I also stopped giving her formula for standard milk several months ago (she does not like the taste much) but I am wondering if I should try again so that she gets the proper vitamins and minerals for her age?

Question:

Hi I am 33 weeks pregnant and was eating camembert at a friend's house the other day when she casually mentioned that listeria was still a concern that late on in pregnancy. I had checked on the box though and it said it was made with pasteurised cheese so I thought I was safe? Please clarify what the deal is with cheese – I am so confused and so worried now that I might have harmed my baby boy! Thanks

Question:

My 5 year old is experiencing severe constipation. He cries every single time he goes to the bathroom. It is actually a big ordeal at our home these days... and I feel very powerless.

Any suggestions of what could ease his stools?

Question:

I'm breastfeeding my 4 week old baby, usually ~7 times a day. In the first feed of the day and night feeds I can hear sucking noises, but not so much in the day. My baby gets cranky between afternoon feeds, and my breasts just don't feel that full during mealtimes. She fills plenty of nappies (wet and dry), but has a chapped upper lip, and I'm worried about whether the fontanelle is dipped. Is it possible she is being underfed?
