Our daughter has been pretty on track with her sizes. She's going to be one year old in the first week of January. We're looking to buy a winter (snow) suit for her now, as it gets very cold here early on, especially at night (it hit 30 degrees here one night this week).

I don't mind buying a bit big, so getting her a 12 month sized suit now would be fine. But I'm not sure how long after she gets to a year the suit will fit her.

So I guess the questions are...

What size winter suit would you recommend that we buy for the baby, 12 months or 18 months? Is there an in-between size?

What would be better a one piece or a two piece? Why?

How much growth room will she have with a 12 month suit? (It stays cold here until late March, so she'd be almost 15 months.)

Are we just destined to buy her two snow suits every year? :-o

Many thanks!

Okay, here's my ?.
Were your pregnancys alike with the same gender.
for example. Same symptoms, I had very parallel pregnancys with my girls.
and complete opposite with my boy. I knew something was different when I carried him.
Now this pregnancy is so similar to my sons,

is it fair to say or compare pregnancys ? and how many of you had similar experiences like mine?

I happened to actually watch a decent Oprah last night that was all about parents ruining their kids by not saying NO and literally spoiling them into ruin. There was this little 3 year old up there going off on her mother, a 9 year old who would hit her mother when she didn't snap to attention and do exactly what she asked when she asked, or objected. I was just lke WOW. I would have got the spanking of a lifetime had I tried that as a kid.

Well, a lot of people here seem to find discipline in any strict form too harsh for kids. How would you handle brats of that caliber? Do you already have them? Do you find it hard to say no to your kids? Or, do you give them any and everyting they want?

Kids in my house earn, they are not just given willy nilly. It's a good system. Punishment comes when you break the rules, simple as that. I beleive in the liberal use of the word "NO", and spankings when needed.

I know some of you might remember me. I found out yesterday that I I'm really pregnant and cried myself to sleep. My sis cousin and friend thinks that abortion I should have an abortion cuz I'm only 18 and I don't work, and I'm paying 72 thousand for college and this is my second year. We are having financial problems. It just really breaks my heart because the one time I miss a pill I get pregnant and the abortion thing makes me want to puke. I don’t believe in abortion at all because is not the baby's fault so y should he or she be send away from this world because of my own happiness? The dad does not know yet and he does not believe in abortion as well and we are not together anymore so my cousin and sis believe that the decision is all mine but I don't c it that way cuz I did make the baby myself even if we are no longer together. I prefer to get a job and take care of my responsibility and if I can handle it, I can always put the baby up for adoption because I know a lot of people out there wants baby and can have any so why kill an innocent child? I can’t even eat cuz I don’t know what my parents would do to me or what they might want me to do. I want to tell the guy first but again I’m being told I should tell my mother first so she can know what to do. What do u ladies think? Should I tell the guy first so that way we can try to figure things out or should I tell family first? I’m I wrong for not wanting abortion and wanting to tell the guy first? Please help me cuz I’m losing weight over this.

i am planning to buy the Britax Decathlon Car seat for my daughter. She has low muscle tone and this seat looks very supportive. I was just wondering if anyone else has one and how they like it. To see it go to babiesrus. Go to car seat. Go to convertable seats. It is the Decathlon. The style is Tiffany.

When my son wants something and I don't let him have it he throws a fit and screams and crys. I guess it's the terrible twos. I put him in his room and told him when he can stop crying he can come out. Is that ok? How do you handle your child when they scream and cry? thanks so much

I know I have kinda harped on this subject, but I never heard of people being so down on pagents until I started getting on Yahoo Answers. One of my best friends growing up, was in pagents all her life and she is a perfectly normal, sweet, loving adult, so she wasn't harmed by them. I have heard some on her make reference to perverts and such, but I have never heard a case where a child was harmed as a direct result of a pagent. They haven't even proved why Jon Benet was killed, so there is no proof it was related to the pagents. I personally wouldn't put put all that makeup, hair pieces, and $1000 costumes, but regular pagents, like local town pagents don't do this, or not the ones I have seen. If a child wants to do these pagents, the parents don't deserve to be critisized for allowing it. What is the difference in these pagents and a parent who gets their kid an agent and starts hiring them out as a model for clothes companies or magazines? It is all in good fun, so please tell me.

My 2 week old newborn has been on 3 different formulas since she was born.
First in the hospital she was given Enfamil with Iron......they discovered that she had a reflux and had us switch her to Enfamil Prosobee.......a week later she was still spitting up horribly and decided they wanted her to switch to Enfamil A.R. and she has been on that a week now.....
Dr. thinks that she might be mildly colic and have severe gas, plus she is not eating a whole lot and now they want to switch her again to Enfamil Gentlease.....

Does anyone have any opinions on this? As far as, should she be switching formulas this much and whether Gentlease works better than the A.R. formula.

Any help is appreciated.

i love my 13 yr old nephew; so much so that I have taken him into my home to raise along with his 10 yr old sister, as well as my 8 yr old daughter. I took them in, bc I felt that they needed attention that they werent getting while living with my dad who now has a new girlfriend and no time to spare or spend with them. There mother (my sister) has not had an active role in any of there lives since she gave up her rights 5 years ago and my dad adopted them, but she does come around once a week( but never on weekends "bc she has things to do"). He has been living with me since 8/06, and has been suspended for calling a girl out of her name, plus he's failing some of his classes, and talking back to teachers,all of which are female. The male teachers say they have had no problems with him. I understand WHY he has no respect (bc of his mother), I just need to know a way to gain it without busting him upside the head. I've ran out out patience and talking doesnt help anymore!!!
