I know that it happens in its own time, but when we first brought her home from the hospital she only woke up once to be fed. Now she is waking up 2 times. And my husband and I are doing good with splitting who wakes up (he takes round 1 and I take round 2), and I am enjoying the alone time my daughter and I have at 5am, but we are just curious on if there is any advice from others who've been there. Thanks,

I'd like to know what type of water most people give their baby to drink, whether it be to mix with formula or to drink on its own. My doctor says to give him tap water, but I'm not so sure, then others say that bottle water should not be given either... Any opinions?

My son has gotten into the habit of letting out this high pitch screech-like scream. Usually for no apparent reason. I don't understand why. The pitch is usually so high that it actually ignites severe headaches. How can I break him of this? I've tried everything from lightly smacking his mouth and telling him "no", to time out, and even whispering to him (so he copies my action and whispers too). Help!! Any advice is appreciated! Thanks in advance.

I should have stated.....we have been trying since i miscarried! (sorry folks)

I lost my first when i was nearly 5 months. Devastating yeah i know, that was way back in March its now September and still no luck. I went into hosiptal 3 days b4 the miscarriage as i believe my waters had broken, they hosip[tal told me when i was examined later that day, that they could see nothing and everything seemed fine. Baby was still there and heart was beating. Three days later i went into labour and miscarried the next day. Post mortem was carried out, with no reason for this happening. Doctors say they may need to put a stitch in the next time i have a pregnacy. Any ideas? Please dont tell me to just wait....im looking for couples, doctors and expert opinions

I am on birth control pills and never miss one. My long-term boyfriend and I do not use a back-up method, such as a condom. Is there any chance I could get pregnant if I take the pill regularly?

My son is in the 4th grade and he is great at Math. This is a subject that he hardly has to study he just knows numbers. I print 6th grade math worksheets for him to do in his spare time and he knows this stuff after I show him once. Will he always be good at math?Should I keep giving him harder Math to do? He gets mad when I do this he says "I know this stuff mom why are you makin me do this".

I asked a question yesterday about conflicting pregnancy test results, so to ease my mind I took another test this morning with my first morning pee and it turned out negative......could the first one have been a false positive? I know they're rare, but I don't want my husband all excited over nothing. Has this happened to anyone using a digital test? Has the digital said "pregnant" and the traditional ones with the lines said no? If so, were you indeed pregnant?

I have a friend who donated sperm in 2000 and is keen to know if any children were born of his donation. The clinic he donated to will not divulge the information as the donation was made prior to the change in law of April this year. He was under the impression that he would be able to find out at some point if any children were born. Can the HFEA provide this information?

Sorry if this is the wrong category. Anyway, this is quite a personal question to mothers, mainly new ones...

Is anyone finding it really difficult to regain their sex life? I had my child over a year ago, and i am still totally revolted by even the thought of it!! I had PND and a horrible and long birth (ended in emergency C), so i think that will have something to do with it.

Does anyone have any odeas on how to get it back. Me and my husband have tried everything!! :(

Thanks for reading xx

Our hospital like many now in the UK won't reveal the sex of the baby which is fair enough. I wondered if it is possible to look out for anything in the ultra scan (12wk?) and photographs which is an indicator. ( I thought it was bone that showed up most so that would rule out little penises!). We are not bothered either way and just want a healthy baby but I can't help being a bit curious and having a guess before it is born.

my daughters dad and i split about a year ago..i found someone new and so did he... he only sees her everyother week.. is it possible that her bond with her dad is being affected by this...she doesnt even call her dad-dad anymore..she calles my new boyfriend dad...which doesnt seem to bother me cuz i have a child with him and we refer to him as dad with her. I think that my daughter is picking this up and thinking he is her real daddy..i dont want to disrupt nature but how do i get it through to her that she hads a daddy and my new boyfriend is just someone that is there to support her and protect her in her time of need...HELP?

My 7 year old daughter is having trouble learning how to swim and I can't find anyone that does swim lessons at a reasonable price around where I live. How can I teach her? I know how to swim very well, but she just won't let me teach her. Does anyone have any advice on a good way to help her and myself out??? Please help. I want her to learn.

I nursed my first son and and I'm currently pregnant with my second. I have still not decided if I am going to nurse again. My 6 year old nephew told my mom that "boobies are for feeding babies" (his mother is nursing his 2 year old sister). And although this may be true, I'm not sure if I do decide to nurse again how to explain it to my 4.5 year old son as I KNOW he will ask me. I don't need him going to PreSchool telling girls/women that their boobs are for feeding babies.
So my question:
Mothers who are nursing who have other small children; how did you explain this to them?

and is not charged with attempted murder. She kept the 13 & 9 yr olds home from school, which leads me to believe is was pre-meditated & drugged them & their 4 yr old brother. Her family said she knew what she was doing & she was trying to kill them. Why wouldnt she be charged with attempted murder?? Instead they are giving her on three counts each of corrupting another with drugs and contaminating food.
