Pregnancy & Parenting - 27 August 2006

I've currently opened a store kiosk in the Manhattan Village Shopping Center in Manhattan Beach, California called Best Nine Months and I'm finding it a challenge in offering the right product mix for baby related gift items. My target audience is medium to high end markets. What are some of the popular baby gift items on the market today people are noticing? I'm looking for unique and cute gift type like items. I'm seeking name brand baby clothes, diaper bags, baby shoes, nursing pillows, plush toys and etc. My website is www.bestninemonths.com. Any suggestions on baby products or business ideas is greatly appreciated. I would like this store to be successful and one day accomplishing my dream of owning a chain of name brand baby stores.

Should I wait until I'm through my first trimester to tell anyone? I think I'm going to tell my mom and my hubby's mom after the first prenatal appt, but should I wait for everyone else?

My daughter (19 months old) refuses to be fed, but recently I will give her something to eat and she will take two bites and then give it back to me. Then she will ask for more food (in baby sign, she isn't talking much) so I will give her the food back. She gives it back, so I decide to try and feed her. First she will turn her head away and when I say PLEASE she will turn her head towards me with her eyes closed. She will stick her tongue out and lick the food first and then open her mouth and eat it. Each bite is the same, eyes closed, tongue out, lick and then eat. It is weird, did your toddler do this?

Funny too! LOL!

Anything thats surprising during your pregnancy (like eating some kind of food that you've never tried before but find it delicious and tempting or a scent that you find pleasant to your senses)....

Our baby have been sleeping for almost the whole day everyday, since he came out about a week ago. He is suffering from mild jaundice, and someone said it's due to that. I know baby sleeps most of the time, but is it normal to sleep all the time? He's probably awake for about 2 hours in total for any day. Please advise

I'm a 30 year old professional...single..with no prospects. I make around $55,000 a year. My biological clock is tick tick ticking. I'm currently renting an apartment. I've recently started to think about putting money away so that I will be able to have a baby even if the right man doesn't come along. My thought is that I'll save money and eventually buy a home. If I haven't met someone by the time I'm 35, I'd like to go ahead and be a mom. I just can't imagine never having children. I want to do the right thing though. Does this seem like a reasonable plan? Is 35 a good age to have a child?

I am currently 5 months pregnant and was let go from my job in June and I was supposed to get on insurance there but was let go. I have been paying out of pocket so far. My husband has been at his job for 2 and a half years and he will be able to enroll for insurance October 1st. Will they cover the rest of my pregnancy? Where I worked last year said that it was Indiana state law that insurance can not count pregnancy as pre-existing condition. Is this true will they cover me? I am freaking out right now. I believe his insurance is Blue cross and Blue Shield......

I am breastfeeding 9 week old son and supplementing with soy formula because since birth he has been very gassy. About 2 weeks ago his stools became watery and he began passing horrible smelling gas. I have an appointment with my ped on tuesday since about 3 weeks old he has alway he has always been so fussy , cranky and uncomfortable. He is so restless, does not take naps if he does they only last about 10-15 minutes. I cut out dairy and right now I'm making sure that I feed him on one breast per feeding to avoid too much foremilk, but I would think that eliminating dairy ,supplementing with soy and using mylicon drops would help.
