how can a formula company not know there vitamins does not have enough vitamin C in it. Aren't they supposed to check that? It could cause : If infants drink formula without enough vitamin C for two to four weeks, they could start exhibiting symptoms of vitamin C deficiency, which include irritability with generalized tenderness

Does anyone know if the Pampers Baby Dry SIZE 1 has the stretchy tabs? I think they are like "catapiller flex". I know they are on size 2 and up, but I couldn't find any in size 1. The swaddlers are the same price, but you get less diapers, so I prefer the Baby Dry.

My mom and I are at each other's throats. She says EXTREMELY hurtful things to me (like if people really close to me drown in a creek that she wouldn't send flowers and she wouldn't attend the funeral and that she hates them and wishes that would happen to them) and then when I bring them up in the middle of a fight she denies them and makes me feel like I'm going insane. I want to move out of my house and in with my dad, my parents split up about 6 years ago and my dad lost visitation rights. Since then, however, he has gone through counseling and really gotten his act together, we have recently reconnected and started to bond again and I think I would be much more stable living there. I don't want to get my dad in trouble but I can't stay here with my mom mentally abusing me like this. (My mom and I have also been in a physical confrontation but neither of us 'started' it) I want out, please help.

I am 25 and want to adopt a girl aged birth to 2 years (it would be nice to go older but fear doing so for developmental reasons). We have had difficulties (not with fertility) but with pregnancy complications. My husband is 34. We had hoped to try to conceive but I'm having second thoughts. We have a preconception visit planned, but I worry that the risk to myself/baby may be too high for pregnancy to be realistic. However, we would like to add to our family. I would love a little girl, a sister for my boys.

I know every baby is different, but when (approximately) can I expect to see her first smile? When did your baby smile for the first time?

I just found out I'm pregnant. I have 3 other children the youngest being 13 months. I don't know how far along I am yet. I'm absolutly devastated cause I was on the pill and faithful about taking it. I'm trying to work through depression about it, I feel like it's wrong to think ill of such a miracle. Have you felt this way and if so what helped you get through the anxiety? (serious responses only please)

And anyone know if Military medical would cover all costs for a surrogate mother?

.......or at least it feels like it. with my first son I carried him really low and never really had discomfort. With my second son (37wks preg) when I stand for more than like 15 min it feels as if the skin un my upper abdomen is going to tear.it feels almost like a knife is inside me about to cut through the top of my uterus. NORMAL???it seems as if he is pushing his butt out really hard cause there is this hard lump (I know it is him cause when i push on it, it moves) any suggestions would really help!

I am 13 weeks pregnant and have TERRIBLE TERRIBLE sciatica. I do okay once I am up and moving (it just takes a while). But, when I am trying to sleep at night, it seems the only relief I get is when I am laying on my stomach. Is this unsafe? I do not have a "Big Belly" yet, but my stomach is starting to buldge. Any advice for sciatica relief is welcome. But my main question IS SLEEPING ON YOUR STOMACH SAFE DURING EARLY PREGNANCY?

Well I have a three year old and we got her a hamster a year ago and it died last night. Do I tell her that it died or go out and get a new one so she does not know that it died? I am not sure if it is to soon to tell her about death. No a round her has died or anything like this, or is this a good way to teacher her about death. Serous answers only.

My husband and I are ttc. I used ovulation test and we engaged in intercourse the whole time ovulation was occuring (according to the test...) My period was last 8/31 (first day) (I have a short cycle i think?) Anyways, I wasnt expecting my AF until 9/21 but starting yesterday I"ve been blleeding. It started super light like light pink discharge, turned into a bright red blood flow like a normal period kinda and now seems to be stopping??? 2.5 days of bleeding total but it was not like a period at all and no clotting really, maybe a little bit but less than period again. Please dont answer with "go to doctor..." I plan on going but I like to chat to others whom may have experienced similar symptoms.

I have a friend that I really care for. We are both 12 year old girls in the 6th grade. I know around this age that we're starting to like guys and such, but I think she's taking it to far. We went and played a game of golf a few weeks back, and their were 20 year old men there. She started flirting with them. I'm getting scared because she's "maturing" and she looks like a beautiful 14 year old, but I think she's abusing that. My mom won't let me go to a football game with her because My friend said, "Don't worry, we'll hook you up with a cute guy." I'm mean I like guys, but I'm worried about doing that. How do I tell her she's a great friend, but she's scaring me. I'm worried that she'll met a molester and regeret what's she's done!
PS She doesn't act this wasy around her parents.

I have a 7 month old baby girl. She is in the begining stages of crawling, and I put her on the floor to practice. My apartment has hardwood floors, and I have some area rugs around. My baby has the tendency to jerk her head back and forth( it is just something she has been doing for months) and while she was on her knees, crawling, she banged her head pretty hard on the floor. She has a small,dime sized ,light greenish mark on her right temple. Should I take her to the hospital? This is my 2nd child and Iam trying not to be as overprotective as I was with my first. I had the tendency to over exagerate everything! So I do not want to do that again. Is it neccessary, do I need to call her pedi?My hubby is at work right now, I don't want to worry him, or should I call? If your going to make a silly comment or judge me, keep it to your self!!!! Serious answers only! Thanks so much!

If you’re a mother would you take your son and if you’re a father, then your daughter? Assuming all children are of legal age to go. I know two separate families who are fine with this. They’re families that are very open about nakedness, sexuality, and intimacy. The kind of family where the son is able to talk to his mother about most anything.
