Pregnancy & Parenting - 18 August 2006

I wonder if a baby's happiness can be significantly affected by how you are with them? So if you're happy, laughing, singing and upbeat, like I try to be, it should follow too that the baby will be happy. Or is it just something in their own nature? Or even a mix of both. Wondering as a curious mum wanting to do her best for her baby.

Any general tips from mums/dads on what makes for a happy baby appreciated too

I never knew what a heated topic breastfeeding has become until I got pregnant for the first time and started using Yahoo! Answers. I've been spending countless hours here, getting information about what to expect while pregnant and about caring for my soon-to-be newborn, and I couldn't help but notice how HEATED the breastfeeding discussions have become.

Why are people so sensitive about this subject? Why is there so much resentment between breastfeeders and non breastfeeders? I'm just curious.

I would love answers from those who have been right in the middle of these discussions, too (such as the users jellybean and Momma2mingbu).

A babysitter who will be from right in the neighborhood and only with the children (2 children - a 1 year and 4 year old) a few hours a week. I have so many girls in the neighborhood that want to babysit but some of them seem too young, and I just don't know because I never babysat when I was younger.
A mothers helper in my area is someone who mostly watches the children and helps with some chores while mom is home but busy doing other things. It's important that I am able to study while they would be here so I want someone old enough to responsibly handle the job even though I am home... Do you have any suggestions for the age I should look for?

Any Ideas as to what to pay a babysitter? I hope they will have an idea of how much per hour they will want but if they don't what should I offer to pay them well without over doing it?

the doc said to start baby on chicken and fish, but even though I puree the boiled meats they tend to be a wee bit stringy and that makes my 8 month old gag. I want to start finger foods too but with this gag reflex I am wondering how to get to the stage of lumpy/chinky food first. She hasnt gotten a tooth yet, so I make sure everything is smooth but still she almost throws up, sad part is sometimes she actually likes what she is eating but the stringiness bugs her. What do you other moms do differently?

With all of the bad side effects that we know about ADHD medication, why am I getting such a hard time trying diet changes and behavioral modification in my child to control his ADHD rather than just shove some pills down his throat? It seems to me that I'm being told "Ritalin.. so much easier than parenting"
