My 3 1/2 month old currently settles down for the night at 6-6.30pm. Any later than this means that she is overtired, and we have an awful time tryng to settle her. She sleeps through to 6am, sometimes waking once for a 3 or 4am feed. When the clocks go back, she will be waking at 5am, which is a tad on the early side! Does ayone have any ideas how to shift her body clock by an hour or 2?

I have heard that the best place to have an infants carseat is in the middle seat of the backseat. They say this because (1) this will ensure that if you are in an accident the side airbags dont hit the carseat/child. (2) most accidents are side impact collisions and put the baby at risk. Has anyone else heard this?

I'm not encouraging my sons to fight, but I do think they need to know how to defend themselves. For this reason I have not only taught them to fight, but also have the practice on a kick bag and have them work out. I also have taught them how to deal with someone wanting to fight them and to use none violent methods when necessary. I do not want my kids being bullied.

My daughter is 6 mnths old and I have been taking a low dose pill due to breast feeding. I only began having my period again in August and in Sept, but this month missed. I have the symptoms of my period with back pain and moodiness, but no period. There is some thickish white discharge - no odor. Is a "unsteady" period usual after pregnancy, or could I be preggo again?

Can someone please give me some unique baby names (boy or girl) that start with the letter 'A'? Nothing common like Anthony or Alicia please.

confidential to the parents. Do you think it's a good or bad choice and why? I said they should pass the law but not withhold it from the parents, because it may be the girl's body, but in cases where the child is young (11-14 hell 17 age) those parents have to take care of them, and if they hide that **** and keeps goin at it, what happens then when she ends up dying or somethin bad happens? Some argued it only encourages more young kids to screw, but then that **** happens ANYWAY, whether you have it or not, that responsibility lies on the parents and the individual, not the damn contraceptive. So legalizing it and I think from the article (sorry don't have the link, it was on yahoo news), making it available to even poor areas (the price on it was unaffordable to many), would be just like the damn condom or birth control pills, just more effective. As far as the STDs and the encouragement, maybe if they tell the parents or encourage teaching sex early, it can be avoided.

I was wondering if someone could help me out on this one. I stopped taking birth control like a month ago because I missed my doctors apt and I was not able to get anymore birth control until a few weeks after that I have not started taking it yet though you have to wait until the Sunday after you get your period to start taking it I did have unprotected sex but he did not go in side me he pulled out before he went but I thought that maybe you could still get pregnant off of pre *** but anyways I got my period today and I was wondering could I be pregnant and can you get your period when your pregnant? Or am I just worrying about all this and how could you tell if you had a miscarriage? because my period is very heavy and it is really bright red and it has black chunks in it and that dose not usually happen until the end of my period but it is usually dark not red at the end or could it be that my period is acting different because I stopped taking birth control? I don’t know I think I am just worrying myself but if you have and answers for me that would be very helpful. Thanks so much

I've endured years of insults about the one thing that bugs me the most: my face. I look at me in the mirror every morning before I catch the bus to school, and my face to me seems fine, only with minor acne problems. I wash it, and the zits are gone. Only few remain and I think I look fine, after with the great hair combos I come up with. I think I look great, but some others don't. Only 4 girls out of the nearly 100 I knew think I look cute. The other 96, however, think I'm positively hideous. I feel like it's my face and my name: Sean Zachary Roberson. After enduring a bad day at school, I stay silent the entire ride, and feel like crying at home.

Should I just give up for good? Or do I need to just keep trying? I somehow think I'll be single until I hit graduation day in high school.

My husband and I have gone so far off the deep end it is rediculous. We fight over every little damn petty thing. We both have a problem with having to be right. We will argue and argue friggen details that don't even matter in the big picture, but if we don't remember something right we will fight and fight. It's almost as though we are two people living side by side and sharing a child as opposed to a married couple. Has anyone had success turning a situation like this into a happy marraige? If so, how and what did you do (I'd like to do counceling, but my husband is not up for it)?

Ok I know that the best answer is DON'T DRINK IT AT ALL but you see I am English and a hot sweet cup of tea is the only thing that makes me human in the morning (ask my husband). I also work around some other pregnant women and they eat Mc Donald’s for lunch and chug down soda's all day long, I do not join in with this and avoid soda wherever possible and I have increased my water intake and nibble on a banana when I need an energy boost but on days that I am working on my feet for hours at a time a starbucks late can be very tempting indeed. I am only 8 weeks pregnant at this stage so my question is how much caffeine is ok?
