Pregnancy & Parenting - 9 July 2006

I am 18 years old and I just graduated from high school. I'm not allowed to watch TV on the weekdays, I can only be on the computer 2 hours each day, and my parents bought me a MacBook Pro for my graduation present but I have to PAY for half of it! I got good grades, all A's and B's. Do you think my mom is too strict? Oh, and I'm not allowed to drive anybody else but myself, even though I have been driving for almost 2 years without any tickets. And I STILL get out in timeout!

I was at the pool the other day with my mest friend and her 2 1/2 year old daughter. The little girl made friends with a little boy about her age, and he had some older siblings or cousins that were around him. We were lying in the sun while the little girl played with the other kids in a grassy area a few feet away. All of the sudden I looked up, and my niece was standing in the middle of the older kids, had her bathingsuit pulled down to her waist. I pointed it out to my friend, who told her daughter to pull up her bathingsuit. All the older kids started giggling and covering their faces. My friend asked her daughter why she had pulled down her bathingsuit down, and she told us, "See those kids? They wanted to see." She wouldn't say anything else.
My friend seemed to think it was no big deal and just told her daughter to stop playing with them. I felt like we should have gone over there and yelled at the kids or told their parents. It just seemed creepy to me. Am I overreacting?

I had been off of my birth control for a month, and the doctor told me the first month back on wouldn't count, which was this month. Well, my husband and I had unprotected sex 2 days before my expected ovulation date. I know that the chances are great, but I still want to know your opinions. How likely is it that I could get pregnant?

We have been trying for sometime and i heard before you get your period like a week or something, you have a little implantation bleeding. the only thing close to it was pinkish mucus but only once.

ok here is the situation, my wife and i just had a baby a month ago and my son is unable to latch on so he cant breast feed so my wife and i decided breast milk is best so she is putting and giving it to him in a bottle, before we had baby we bought a breastpump which the motor went out so we bought a manual one, and since she has had 2 cases of mastitis and has been told that a double electric pump hospital grade is what she needs which costs 300.00, we have already spent 150.00 on the other 2, she still uses the manual one and will continue to use it if we get the other one like in the car, ect. but i am hestitaing because i dont want to spend that kinda money on one and then also because i dont want someone else to tell her in a month that she needs a different one. she is upset because she has to use the one manual one for 20 min each side, is it fair if i tell her no we should just deal with the one we have?

I read all the pre-cautions about sids, to put baby to sleep on his back. But now my babies head seems a little lopsided. And yes I put him on his belly but he knows how to roll over and lasts for about 1 minute during tummy time. He cannot sit up on his own yet , but I don't want to keep laying him on his back. any suggestions.

He just turned 2 and has been potty training rather well since May (2nd birthday). All of a sudden, every once in awhile, he insists on peeing outside. I don't believe he's seen anyone else pee outside. One time he was playing outside in the sprinklers and I let him pee in the grass (he was nakey anyway). A couple of days ago he would NOT go in the bathroom and peed out in the backyard in the dirt (he did this twice). The next day, he insisted on peeing in the shower!!! And now it's back to the bathroom without any problem.

Has this happened to anyone else???

My baby's father is white ...I'm not sure how my dad is going to take everything all in. I already have a little boy who will be 2 in November. Will he treat his younger sibling differently because they dont look anything alike? The guy that I am pregnant by, we just recently started dating. He works as a railroad conductor.He will never be home to help me through any of this!.

My one year old daughter started solids at 8 months (exclusively breastfed before that). She ate purees only until 10 months and now eats semi-mashed or ground solids and cheerios or puffs. The thing is, she will not self feed. She plays with her food. I've gotten her a set of really nice spoons to experiment with but she just won't put the food in her mouth. At what age does an average baby self feed? I expect she'll be a little later because she started solids later than most. I've guided her and supported her getting her hands in her food. Any other ideas? OH...Teething biscuits are OUT! She did actually self feed herself with a teething biscuit last week and too much broke off into her mouth, so we're done with those...And those mesh things that you put the food into...we have those and she can't stand putting the thing in her mouth even when there is delicious fruit in it! Thanks!
