When I say young I mean under the age of twenty two.

Regardless what they are "missing out on", do you believe the majority of young parents are good of parents?

Do you think the older the parents--the better the parenting?

--OR--

Do you think age has no relevance?

Please list why or why not. Thank you for your response!

I have a 4 1/2 month old daughter....she is an awesome baby...talks (jabbers) nonstop and laughs and smiles a lot...until recently...about a week ago she started whining 80% of the time she is awake...I don't understand why this would start and continue...I had a regular check-up with doctor...and he says he sees nothing wrong with her and she is perfectly healthy...any ideas out there?

My doctor said that quitting smoking cold turkey is bad for the baby because it causes a type of shock, he said I should significantly cut down and totally quit in the next two weeks, does anyone have any suggestions?

My 3.5 Yr. daughter does not want to go to pre-school as she does not have friends. She used to go to pre-school when she was 2 Yr. 9 mo.. and she had no issues as she had a friend who is our neighbour. Now, her friend is in another class so she doesn't have any friends. She went to pre-school for first week and then she refuses to go to pre-school. After spending lot of time with her, I finally came to know the reason " I don't have any friends. No body talks with me".
What can we do? We are trying to make her understand that if she goes to school she will have new friends but she is not ready to go.
Any advice?
Thanks a bunch.

My 3 week old son hasn't pooped in two days. He tends to pass gas a lot and acts like he's trying to go poop but nothing comes out. Since I brought him home from the hospital, he's only been pooping about once a day and they are normal looking poops. They are fairly big and mushy but never harder than peanut butter. When he does poop he usually does the same thing, grunt and pass gas. Should I call his doctor about it or should I just give it a few more days and see what happens? He doesn't seem like he's in pain. I just don't like to have him struggle so much when he tries to pass a bowel movement. If anyone can help me out, that'd be great. Thanks.

Why? Why is it OK to shout and yell and hit and moan and groan and treat your child like a pice of dirt? Does being small mean you are somehow immune from feeling? How would YOU like to be bossed around 24/7 by a bunch of giants? Is there not ANYONE out there who wants to treat their child as they would wish to be treated??
Many people are nicer to their dogs than to children, what is UP with that? (I'm all for treating dogs better too, but that's a whole new topic).
Please may there just be 1 person out there who does not believe in smacking, yelling, belittling, shaming and patronising children in the name of so-called 'parenting'....??

I am 28w1d and I have been losing (what I think is) my mucous plug. It's like clumps of white/clear discharge. It is extremely thick (sometimes stringy clumps) and I have had this 4 times and the size of it is pretty big (bigger than a quarter). I have also been having these pintching cramps in my vagina. It feels like someone is sticking their hand up there and pintching my cervix. My back aches (like to the point of tears). I can't get comfortable no matter what I am doing) and the last thing is, It feels like she keeps kicking me in my cervix...but I feel her feet up by my ribs... She is head down! What's going on??

I am 29 weeks pregnant and my gums are swollen and bleed when i brush, the dentist suggested getting deep cleaning and scaling done but they will apply some anasthesia. i am not sure if it is safe to get deep cleaning done while pregnant, did any of you get it done and had a safe pregnancy?

Just a question, I was driving past a tanning salon here in our town, and saw a pregnant woman walking out, tan as could be.
I suppose she could be working there, but in the same respect she could have been tanning there as well....
So that raised a concern to me, Can you ACTUALLY use the tanning salons while pregnant? I know clearly that it is unsafe to begin with, skin cancer wise and all of that..but isn't there something with the heat? temperature or something that makes it unsafe?

I noticed on my black bra that there are two white spots where my nipples rest. I am five months pregnant and this is my first baby. Is it normal to have a small amount of lactation before the baby is born, even if I'm still 4 months away from giving birth?

Im still in contact with my ex's parents & they see my boys every 2nd wkend. The last time they came to visit, my sons were bathing and when I invited them in I said " the boys are bathing..." meaning they will be out soon. I was abit surprised when my sons grandfather who is in his mid fourties went into the bathroom to say hello to my boys while they were bathing. He stayed in there chatting to them for a few minutes. I was in there also so nothing serious happened it was all very innocent! Im just wondering if this seems abit odd to anyone else or am I being paranoid??? I reinforced to my kids that no one should ever touch there "middle bits" except for them and they are educated about that & Im certain that this was all very innocent but when are kids to old to have other people see them naked?

She just doesn't listen. I don't believe it is anything I have done. However, her brain seems to be going a mile a minute. She is contantly moving. Ants in the pants! What are some things I can do with her to help her listening skills? Need some mature answers. Thanks for your help.

I am a first time mother to a 15 mnth. old son named Marquis. I am thinking about potty training. I am currently looking for books and other items to help me get him started. Am I starting to soon? When is the right age to potty train your child? I would like some mothers more experienced than I to leave a comment , list some materials ( magazines, books, etc) that I can read and words of wisdom that will help me. I don't want to start too soon but I don't want to wait to late either.
