Pregnancy & Parenting - 12 September 2006

My son still doesnt speak. The things that he says are random sentances and he repeats them over and over. I am really begining to become concerned. I want to start potty training, but I just dont think he is ready. What should I do?

My son doesn't eat enough solid food throughout the day and often plays around at meal times, it bothers me he isn't getting enough nutrition but I do give him vitamins to top up.

Why do people look down on people that use a harness for their toddler? I think it looks kind of like a leash for a kid, but what if you had a really active kid. Isn't it better to be safe.

My baby is just learning how to walk, no I don't own one of these contraptions. I was only wondering. I think I might need one someday!

Me and my husband make about $3000 a month together and about $800 goes to bills. Is this enough money if we have a baby?

I've been on the pill for almost 3 years now, and take it religously, at the same time everyday - I've never missed a dose. However, last month I was put on anitbotics, and since I knew that could effect it, my fiance' and I refrained from making love. I got my period as normal, and on my 6th and 8th day of my new cycle, we had intercourse - forgetting that I had had just been on antibotics a few weeks before. Will the antibotics effect the pill this month - is it possible that I might get pregnant now from those two times? Or did the new pack start working COMPETELY again after I finshed my period? I'm really worried...if you could help me out, I'd appreciate it!

My daughter is seven, and she has the odd habit of sucking her index and middle finger, which has given her buck teeth. Her only permanent teeth so far are her two bottom front teeth. Her dentist said last visit that she is concerned, but she wanted to see how her baby teeth grow in. I am very concerned, I do not want to set up my daughter for a life time of bad teeth. When should a referral be made to an orthodontist, and what age is appropriate to begin use of a retainer, and what would the cost be? Thank you in advance.

This is not a am I pregnant question. I don't need advice really, I just need to know of anyone who has had a situation similar to mine.
Ok so here we go, I found out I was pregnant in August, I was about 5 weeks when I found out. Then at 6 weeks on Aug 18th I miscarried.
My fiancee and I are trying for another baby, we had sex on all the days I was supposed to be fertile the 1st of Sept through the 3rd.
My breasts have been really sore, and I spotted some pink, and then a tiny bit of brown blood *Implantation maybe??*
Was supposed to get period back yesterday..
Has this happened to anyone? If so can you let me know! Thanks!

Anyone have conversations like this with their child?

For my son's birthday, he says "Mom, for my birthday, if any of my friend's Mom's ask, I would like Lego. BUT, not the MEGA blocks kind of lego, jus the lego with the proper lego logo on it. Also I would like books. But not just any kind of books, just books written by Roald Dahl. But be sure to tell them that I already have these 15 books (starts rattling off titles)"

Always makes me smile

PS, in the end, I told him. How about I tell them that you would really like some LEGO, or perhaps a gift certificate for the bookstore.

despite the fact that your under stress (which i am not) or any other reasons...if a guy cums in you can that be the cause of having your period 4 days early? (I AM NOT PREGNANT BECAUSE I DID IT ON THE FIRST DAY OF MY PERIOD.)
