My sister's baby has had his injections but not his 4 month injection yet. My nephew has the sniffles/cold, should she keep them apart? Or is that over reacting?

Sensible answers please from parents and people with sound medical knowledge. Thanks.

My fiance had a daughter with another "man" a few years before we got together. The little girl is 4 now and the "father" is rarely around, if at all. He sees her about once every 3-6 months for a few minutes, he hasn't paid a penny in child support in over a year and in general doesn't comply with anything in the custody orders.
Anway, I have been raising her as my own for the last 15 months, and love her and her mother to death. However, I have a fantastic job offer in California, but the court papers say that the mother must live within Dallas county or an adjacent one. My question is: how do we go about getting this changed, and how difficult is it? I don't know if the "father" will fight it or not, but he may just because he's an *** like that and wants to maintain control over the mother.
Thanks in advance, and please provide sources if at all possible.

i am 18 going to be 19 and just got married it was a spur of the moment thing i went with my bf of 2 months to vegas with some friends and at some point one of his friends said we were like a married couple and my bf just turned around and said why not get married right now and then we kind of did. This was a joke that was taken way too far. If you get married by Elvis in Vegas at a white chapel is it still legal when you get back to NJ?This happened a month ago and we are still really in love but after this we pretended like nothing happened.My parents cant stand him because he is 21 and italian not spanish like they wanted and his parents dont really like me because i am spanish and they want him to date Italian girls.We told them we were engaged after the trip to Vegas. Should i tell my parents what happened?I live with them and commute to school.

A teenage mother was arrested Thursday after police said her 3-month-old daughter fell into a bucket of vomit and died.

Savarin Dejesus, 18, left the child with a baby sitter at an East Harlem group home where she was living and then headed out for a night of partying Sept. 15, police said. When she returned, she went to her room, set a bucket next to her bed in case she became sick and fell asleep with the baby, Niah Ford, in her arms, they said.

Dejesus vomited in the bucket that night, and later Niah tumbled out of her arms and landed in the bucket, police said. Dejesus didn't discover what had happened to Niah until the next afternoon, they said.

Niah was taken to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead. It appeared she had drowned in the bucket, which was filled with water and vomit, police said.

Dejesus was charged with criminally negligent homicide and endangering the welfare of a child

If I click on the option that "i want to get pregnant" it sais I have to make love from sept 16-21.

but when I click on the button to "avoid pregnancy"
it extends the time not to do it from sept 15-23

why?

does that mean that if i DO want to get pregnant that I should still make love past the dates that it sais?

i just dont get it

I am not very close with my father, but after my 1st child I thought i'd give it a try, so I made the iniative and called and even visited.
He is still the same ol Jerk as always, just I think he tries more.

Well He drinks alot, and I just told him I was pregnant with his 2nd grandchild (btw im 26 and married) and his response was"you havent figured out what causes that yet" "if you keep your legs closed this wont happen" I told him Im done talking with you and told him to put my step mom back on the phone, she has had it with him too...

Do you think I should quit trying, I mean, hes a drunk and hes mean! I dont want my kids around this kind of thing. and why should we have to deal with this?
We have never been close So I dont talk to him about this, How would you approach this? Im thinking of telling my step mom I dont want to talk to him when hes drunk and I sure dont want my kids around him!

I've found that my kids behave much better, ever since I started pulling out my shotgun, pointing it at them and threatening to kill them when they misbehave. Of course, I love my kids, I'd never actually kill them - but they don't know that. Has anyone else had success with this technique?

I am 28 yrs old, no children, told had endometriosis (mild) when i was 20. I took BC for 11 years, stopped feb 2005. We have been ttc for about 3 months. I had an HSG done and they said I have no blockage, both tubes were good. My dr put me on clomid 50mg and i took them days 3-7 of cycle. Today I had an ultrasound and she said I had two follicles on one side. Said one was very good, size was 25-31mm. and said the smaller one was about 19mm. She told me of my increased risk of multiple birth, and gave me the shot of P.>-%, whatever it was. She said to have intercourse today, sunday and tuesday. I would like to know if anyone knows how big the follicles are supposed to be? What are my odds of getting pregnant?? I've also been drinking the robitussin for the past 3 days. Any tips to make this successful?

I'm making a DVD (home video) for my in-laws and my parents. I'm trying to get as much cute stuff that I can but I don't really know what to capture. All of our family lives far away and our son is seven months--so we want them to be able to see him--even if it's not in person. I have video of peek-a-boo, him playing in his exersaucer, and bath time. Now I just don't know what else to film, any ideas?

that breastfeeding mothers are better than bottle feeding mothers? That breastfeeding creates this bond that no formula using mom can ever have? (How subjective and speculative can you get?) I'll agree on the nutritional aspects as long as the mother is adequately nourished, but the verdict is still out on the transferrence of antibodies directly into the bloodstream from mom to baby via breastmilk. Sadly, humans do not appear to be the type of mammal this synthesis occurs in.

I just want proof that they are better mothers, and they love their offspring more than the rest of us. If you get five researchers and physicians with legit credentials stating this, I'll take a bow. I'm tired of lame rhetoric. I want PROOF. Please put your money were your mouths and ***-umptions are? Show me the proof.

I know some of you out there have done both. Do you love the breastfed baby more? Do you have telekenesis with the breast fed kid, and the formula fed one is so detached from you that he must fill out a requisition form just to tell you he is ill?

Please tell me your experiences.
