Weaning

which feeding did you supplement first?
when weaning? Irritated--No I am clearly not asking about beginning solids. I am asking about weaning the baby from breastfeeding. No offense but I could care less when you stopped breastfeeding and you have no idea how old my baby is. Please everybody don't lecture me about quitting nursing just answer my question about which feeding you replaced first for gosh sake.

Another suboxone question?
I've been on 3 suboxone for two years. They are switching my insurance to medicare because I'm disabled. I think I'm gonna have to give up the subs. If I have a bunch, whats the best way to wean down? Give me a chart please. Like 2 a day for a week, then 1 1/2 a day for a week, then 1 a day for a weeek, then half a day for a week, then quarter a day for a week, then quarter every other day for a week, then done? sound good? I don't want withdrawals. I've been through them so many times. They are switching me to medicare june first. I am so scared. Does anyone know if any part D coverage covers suboxone? I'll cut down, but I don't wanna give it up. I'm so scared. The government is changing my insurance, and its like a blindside. I cant even pick a medicare prescription plan till may 1st. My Masshealth paid for everything. I don't get it. I've robbed pharmacy's, I've pickpocketed, I'm a menace to society when I'm getting high. It's in the government's best interest to keep me on suboxone. It's like a mirical. I dont crave. I dont get high. I am stable, and now they want to f*** me up. I just don't get it. Hey Lone! Thanks for the assumption. I am fine. Many people take 3 aday. Thats why masshealth pays for 3 a day. If it was too high, then the doc and ins would say something. I've done my research. I've made my decision. I don't need snide remarks from a know it all. I am fine. I asked a simple question and you lecture me. U must be a peach to hang with. Loser. Don't answer questions if your only goal is to insult the person asking. I've been to long term treatment many times. I've been locked up. Everything. My doctor and insurance came up with a medical option for me. I never I repeat never feel high. Never ever ever ever. I hope you feel good trying to knock people down. You probably trip blind people too huh? Whatever, I'm not gonna let one idiot ruin my day. U haven't done 1/100th the research I've done. Keep your mouth shut. Tool Lone blocked.....I love tech. How am I even thinking straight on such a whopping dose. I used to shoot up 5 80mg oxy every day for years. I tried one suboxone and still had cravings. Went to two and still had cravings. Went to three (which the insurance pays for so it must be a safe dose) and I have no cravings. I'm stable. I live life. I'm engaged. I take care of everything. I don't need someone like Lone to come and knock me down. I will stand up for myself. It is not too high a dose for ME. see its different for everyone. If 3 a day was bad then ins wouldn't pay. I've been on 3 for over two years with no problem. I'll just slowly ween down. I gueess. Thanks for the help, I mean insult, It means alot to me. I'm glad I got the support.

6 WK old black lab making groaning noises?
First of all, let me say that I took this dog from the original owner because he was an effing red-neck who, after I almost hit the puppy (and after that I saw about 12 more running around in the dirt), he says, Go ahead take it, I don't want it, because he saw me holding him. The red-neck says he had traded the mother today for a tan lab puppy and ya can't take that one, but the pups are eating that ol'.... puppy food. So I'm not some crazy wanna-be breeder. I took the pup with me, knowing that I can't save them all, but I can take one little guy. The entire drive home he was making groaning/whining noises, and I'm not sure if he's got health problems or not. He's got a vet's appointment in the morning. I've never had such a young dog, so.. Anyhow, what I'm wondering is: Is it normal for puppies to groan/whine this way, as far as behavior is concerned? Additionally, how old are puppies usually weaned? Thanks in advance! Oh! Aaaaand, what kind of food would be best for a dog so young? I AM taking him to the vet. I thought I stated that already... wow. Jerkface. I'm asking because I do not know what kind of behavior is normal for a puppy this young! He does not appear to have malnutrition, and is eating regular wet dog food fine at this point, as well as eliminating regularly. To the other answerer: Have you ever lived in Rural KY? The police here don't care unless you're running a Meth lab! Honestly. I once called the police because we had someone on our property shooting a shotgun... they wouldn't even come out to check it out. Kentucky JUST got animal cruelty laws, and they are VERY lax. Calling the police, well, they say call animal control, and animal control here will put them to sleep in less than 48 hours. .

Is this insane ????????????
I have two mares here for weaning - the foals stayed with the owner. One of the mares, a Cleveland Bay, was a foster mother to one foal having had her foal die. This is a biggish mare, about 16 hands, conformationally fairly correct and in good condition. The owner who loaned her for fostering doesn't really want her back and has asked the borrower to find her a home or, they will have her back for the summer and put her down. The only stipulation to the loan was that she was not bred from again. She has had three foals, the first was deformed on a front leg, the second turned out to be a wobbler and was put down last year and the third died at birth (Big foal although the stallion was a 14.2 Connemara) This mare is 12 this time, she has never been ridden which I find hard to believe as she foaled for the first time at seven. She is mannerless, as is the other mare, but that is no problem, they are learning fast! I am busy with our own horses so would I be insane to take on what could be a problem animal? I did stand her next to the mounting block and fiddle about with her, leant against her and half onto her withers/neck and she wasn't to fussed about it. I would not want her for me and would only take her on if the owner signed her over to me, break her and sell her as a hunter. The other thing that I have found out is that she was the product of father to daughter so is not registered, not that it matters to me. Temperamentally she is fine, has an eye on her like a saucer which I would find hard to believe would make her mean but, experience tells me that there is something in her back ground as to why she was supposedly never ridden. Thoughts please from those experienced with all sorts of horse problems. ZEPHANIA ... I'm in the UK and there is no way that I would sell this mare - if I do go ahead, to a child. It is just not done for children to ride horses and not ponies! There are few competitions they can enter if they are under 14 and on a horse - and then they are competing against adults. As for the loss of her foals I do not think it was a genetic problem. Any foal can be born with a twisted leg and I swear that wobblers is caused through neck misalignment either in birth or, as a foal. She was sent to a friend of the owner to foal her last foal and she had never foaled anything before so, chances are that it could have been saved - she didn't find it until after the mare had foaled and cleansed so who knows what was wrong? I would not breed from her but not because of her previous history. GALLOP - think Meryl Streep would play me? LOL If I do go ahead I will let the student working with me do the work. (I will be in close attendance) Will take lots of pictures and movies.

Feeding a 10 month old suggestions?
My 10 month old is 30 inches and 21 pounds. He is very active and almost walking. He drinks 40oz per day of formula. I read he should only have 20-25oz at this age. His last check-up was a month ago and the doctor said he should slow down on the formula but did not say how or how much. How should I cut down his formula? Also, should I be pushing to wean him off the bottle and onto a cup? Also, he eats sweet foods like pureed fruit mixed with oatmeal and yogurt. He only eats 2-3 spoons of meat and vegetables before refusing it. How can I get him to eat more meat and vegetables? He does eat finger foods sometimes but not as much as I think he should. He refuses to sit in his highchair so I put the finger foods on a plate on the floor. He takes 2 bites, then goes off to play again. Should I be pushing the finger foods more? And if yes, how?

weaning baby from breastfeeding...?
my daughter is 8 months old+ and i have a really bad sinus infection...i have a dr. appt tomorrow and i'm sure they will be prescribing me antibiotics since i've been sick for almost 12 days with no sign of improvement...i don't know if taking antibiotics while breastfeeding is ok...and i know that when i ask the dr. tomorrow he is going to tell me to ask her pediatrician and when i ask the nurse at the ped's office she is going to say 'ask the dr. who prescribed them'...(so annoying)...sooo, since i have been ready to wean for a while (its my daughter who refuses a bottle) i'm gonna try and just give her nothing but bottles today...is that going to work? really, i'm confused about this. if i hadn't gotten sick, i would have just kept going till she was ready to stop, but i'm worried about passing antibiotics on to her through my breast milk...BUT she is sick too, so maybe it would be good? I don't know? totally confused...any thoughts? i really don't like relying on the internet for information as important as that...i will ask the pharmacist though...cuz they should know...very annoying how no one knows when it comes to breastfeeding...i've asked many times about different things...they know if its pregnancy related, but not breastfeeding related. my son transitioned from the breast to bottle very easily, my daughter doesn't understand that a bottle is for eating, she just plays with it or chews on the nipple...she always spits the milk out when it gets in her mouth... :(

How do I know if a young rabbit was orphaned, or if it is old enough to survive on its own?
There was a young rabbit that had been hiding in my yard, and when my brother turned on the lawn mower today, the rabbit got scared and ran from its hiding place across the street into a vacant, fenced yard. It was a pretty small rabbit, and could fit in the palm of my hand, but its eyes were open and it ran just as swiftly and nimbly as an adult rabbit would, and around here, the wild rabbits aren't very big. They usually grow to be smaller than a house cat. I know there is nothing that I can do now, but I was just wondering, for peace of mind, if this rabbit sounds like it can take care of itself, or if it is still weaning, and if it still needs its mother, if it will know to come back to its hiding place. Thank you very much.
