We have issues with him taking a bottle. We feed him rice cereal once a day ( in morning 10am) and then vegetables/fruits once a day ( in evening 6pm) with 4 bottles a day, but recently he's been rejecting the bottle (either after a few ounces or from the start. He is teething, but this is going on too long! Pediatrician said to wait 5-10 minutes and offer it to him again and try for 30 minutes. We tried this and he's had a full bottle ( 7 to 8 ounces ) in morning and refuses to even start a bottle the rest of the day. He refuses sippy cup also. We seem to have only 2 choices.
1) If he refuses the bottle, let him skip the feeding. Problem is he is will get less than the 24 oz minimum daily if we do this.
2) If he refuses for 30 minutes, let him eat the formula in cereal form. Is it a problem to continually give him the formula through the cereal if he doesn't take the bottle? Is it an issue nutrition-wise or maybe we're training him that he doesn't need to take the bottle?

Whenever my 5 yr old comes home from a weekend w/ his dad, he insists on sleeping w/ me. He says there are monsters in his bed. He never used to do this. He panics when I tell him it is time for bed. Whenever I put him in his own bed, he clings to my neck and will not let go. This usually lasts for 2 days. I have tried to convince him that there are no monsters. Sometimes I take him to my own bed.

put them there for a reason. If you are not going to bother reading the paperwork or take the pills right why bother taking them at all?

I'm planning on stopping breastfeeding my 15 month old daughter soon, but I don't know how to go about it. I don't know anything about it, so please forgive my innocence of the subject. Does it hurt? Am I likely to get overly emotional about it? Or do you think that maybe I should just wait and see if she loses interest in breastfeeding?
I only feed her at night to get her sleepy, and then again if she wakes up during the night. Please don't give me lectures about her having created a dependancy on me to go to sleep, I know that this has happened.
I'm just after advice.
Thanks in advance :)

I just recently had a baby. 4 months ago. I was bleeding for about 6 weeks and when I went to the my doctor, I asked for the birth control patch.

I used it for 3 weeks and the 4th week i had a period. It stopped completely on a sunday. Btw, when I started the patch, I didnt have contact with my husband for about a week because I want the medicine to be completely in my system before having contact again. While I was on the patch, my husband and I had no protection at all, but just the patch. On that sunday, I decided not to use patch anymore so I stopped using it. After that, when my husband and I have contact, we were always careful and we had protection.

It's been 9 weeks since I my period from using the patch. Am I pregnant or it's just the irregularity of using a birth control and being just recently pregnant?

I am pregnant with my first baby and want a more permanent form of birth control. Has anyone used the IUD implant? What was your experience on it? Did your period completely go away?

We plan to have our first baby soon. Hopefully the baby will be born right before my wife's 25th birthday. I will be 27.

My wife says she feels uncomfortable talking about babies with her co-workers because they are older than her and think she is too young for a baby.

The women at her work are 30 and older and have little babies.

My wife's boss just had her first child at 32 and there are women there having babies at 40.

Any advice to give her since she will be the youngest mother at her work? She feels like an outcast.

Ok, I have a friend who is a boy and i've known him ever since kindergarten. He has asked me to be his girlfriend and I told him I really want to but my mom said " I can't date untill i'm older." So he said he would wait for me as long as he had to. And every school dance we go to we dance together the whole time. And so I want to surprise him by kissing him, but not a kiss on the cheek or a french. Just a kiss on the mouth, but I'm not shure how.

How do i kiss him?
Where do my hands go?
What does it feel like?
Should I do it once then stop?
Fast song or slow song?
