Pregnancy & Parenting - 30 September 2006

I only want responses from experienced mothers please! Our baby is 3 weeks old and all he wants to do is eat. Any tips for getting him into a better pattern where he feeds every 2 hours instead of every 20 minutes? Might there be a problem with milk production?

My husband is needless to say not thrilled with our latest creation. I am 7 weeks.
My sister yesterday asked me, if I was pregnant over the phone? I said, "No" due to the fact she is trying so hard to concieve, and we are not telling people yet. anyhow....
Now I was wondering why she would think that. I asked my husband if he had told her husband.
He was irritated, and said
"it's up to you to tell people. "
Now I know we are not on the best of terms about this whole situation, but, no matter what I thought we were in together.
What would you do?
Please no negative feedback. I know he can be a jerk. ANd it was mean.

Someone told me to measure around your breasts and then measure around underneath them and then it can be worked out. But i don't know how to work it out after finding the measurements. Mine was 70cm around breasts and 66cm underneath, could anyone tell me what bra size this is, please.

I have been expriancing some cramps the past few days,(my period is not until the 7th). Something like that never happened to me before and usually I have very regular cycle. My breasts feel huge and sore and I have a low energy level. I wonder if that could be an implantation cramps because my HPT is negative. could it be that I'm pregnant?

My son is very demanding. He is one of the hardest tempered babies I have ever seen! He does not like to play on the floor alone (he was coliky so I was always holding him), and is not crawling yet (he is 8 weeks preemie), so he get very frusterated and throws horrible fits. I try and help him, but I seem never to get anything done! When I pick him up during these fits he kicks and screams and arches his back, so I just put him down and let him finish. This is not working though, his fits can last a long time. Any suggestions?

My daughter raised the most money for her cheerleading league last year and the year before for homecoming. She was crowned homecoming queen and got a lot of cute stuff. we work hard to raise the money, but this year I hear there is another mom that want's to just give money out of her pocket to make sure that we dont win again. What's the big deal if we're working hard for it right? we don't flaunt, she found on the website who won. Parent's in the spirit of competition would you want to do the same as this "new mom" to the team? Or would you be more passive? I'm not upset with the lady, the title is fair game and there is no way for her to find out how much we dontated, it just makes me want to work twice as hard to get the title for my daughter again. Now we both look like we're not good sports. what would you do?

I am not a rasist but it seems to me that a lot of white people disagree with spanking their children.You guys seem like we are tring to kill our children and we are abusing them.We are just teaching them a lesson. I am 14 years old and my mother would spank me for doing things wrong and I thank her for that because if she didnt I would be out here running the streets, getting high,cussing her out,among other things. All I am tring to say is that giving your child a spanking for doing something wrong and they know they are doing wrong they deserve one. I dont understand why you guys think your children will grow up hating you. And yes i undersatnd not all childern need spainkings
