infant four weeks old. we've only used enfamil powder and ready made....also pumping breastmilk. wondered if on occasion it would pose a problem to give infant another brand formula if we were out and about and ran out of ours or in an emergency situation where away from home for prolonged amount of time.

I did my glucose tolerance test last Sat, and got the result yesterday that I failed the test. I got the result detail from the hospital but there are some descriptions I don't understand. I am high in Glucose, 1hr/50gm and MCH, but low in RBC Count, Hemoglobin, and Hematocrit. What are they and what do they function during the preganacy?

If your kids are involved in one or both, what do you think of the organization and their activities? How much time is involved for your child and you? I'm considering it and looking for first-hand opinions. Thanks!

I have heard lots about the woman losing weight to increase chances of conception but what if the man is considerably overweight? Does that affect it too? Also, what about his drinking habits? He drinks a little more than he probably should. Also he is almost 40,(almost 2 months away) so could that have an effect on TTC. I am 30

Hi i know this is the wrong place to be askin this question but it is a female prob. but i would think some of u might know about this and i really wanted to know if anybody had this happen to them before i get to the doctor 2morrow. i am really scared, im only 19 and this is just alot for me to be going through in one year.
Ok in Feb. i had a abnormal Pap Test(HPV) so i had to get a Colposcopy ann Biopsy in Mar. that came back showing that i had alot of Dysplasia(abnormal cells)on my cervix so i had to get the Leep surgery done in April and that the wrost pain ever and i never want to go through that again. Now i went to the doc. about 3 weeks ago for a Pap Test and it was abnormal again now i have to get another Colposcopy and Biopsy. Is it normal to have another pap test like that after the surgry to take the prob. away so soon? and should i get he Leep surgery done again? and will mess up my chances of having a child soon?
thank you to u all who answer this question.

My husband and I have a six month old daugther. We were both hoping to have a boy just because we wanted our future children to have a big brother to watch out for them, but are glad to have her--she's a joy and beautiful (she looks like her daddy...). We are ready for another, but we would really like to have a boy. Either way--it will be a blessing, but we'd like to try. Does any one know of any scientific studies or even old wives tales on how to have a boy?
We are already trying to conceive, and as quickly as we "made" our daughter, it might be too late, but I thought I'd ask just in case...

Thanks!

This question was inspired by a discussion in one of my classes. Tell me your opinion. And nobody is getting best answer unless they have a clear opinion and reasons to back it up.

Like, for example, a bad scout leader or coach, too many rules or fundraisers. Maybe a problem with one of the other kids or parents involved in the activity. What happened?

How much earlier than 3 months can I start my baby with soft cereals? Someone told me that as soon as they can coordinate swallowing and pushing the food back with their tongue... Is this true?

and for some reason cleaning never stops, I even wipe down the baseboards...the thing is, what is the big deal about having a spotless house? Will my son pick up on this, he is 2 almost. Some friends say that thier homes are spotless, yet when I go over they arent.
But when they come to my home, they always make a comment about how its messy!
What gives?
What are the pros about having a very clean house, is all my work for nothing?
