I love my son and I know he loves me. But if I am doing something else when he wants to do something with me he will start hitting me to get my attention. Sometimes he just does it because he wants to. Most of the time he will start to hit me when I am nursing my baby. I don't know what to do.

Who here set goals for yourself individually or as a couple before trying to start a family? What were your goals, why did you choose them and did you accomplish them?

My daughter is 8 months old. She will feed herself finger foods (small pieces of bread, rice puffs, baby biscuits etc.)

Occasionally she will try to grab the spoon when I am feeding her and attempt to put it into her own mouth. But then she'll lose interest in feeding herself from the spoon and won't show interest again for another few weeks.

Should I be encouraging her to feed herself at this age, or should I wait until she's a bit older and shows a bit more interest?

I was wondering, If anyone else had a li'l one that was still doing this, Or if I needed to go ahead and make a doctors appointment to make sure there is nothing wrong with his li'l piggies! :-)

He doesn't ALWAYS walk on his tippy toes, But for the most part, He does...Also noticed he is very flat footed....At about what age do they get an arch?!? Anyone know?

Parents of kids with Autism and other PDDs...personal experience?
Hi,I am looking for some opinions of parents with kids that have PDDs.Based on personal experience what do you find are the best activities and/or toys for an autistic child aged 2 1/2 years old?
He is already in early intervention services and I know that every child is different but I am not looking for professional opinions,just a few things parents have done with their children that they have found to be successful for them.Thanks in advance!

I have posted this question in a couple of catergories only because I am not sure which one would be most appropriate.

I am 9 months (37 weeks) along with baby #3, (Yes, You'd think by now, I'd have this all down pat)..Anyway, My question is, I haven't started to lose any of my mucous plug yet ( I don't think) However, I have (for the past week) felt more of a 'slimey' feeling 'down there'.. It's so bad, That I make trips to the bathroom JUST to wipe..And sometimes, When I wipe, I get a white'ish glob of junk on the TP...Is that my mucous plug?? With my other two, It was always yellow/brown'ish....?? Any answers would be GREATLY appreciated!

Our insurance, Anthem, will not cover anything because our maternity ryder had not matured by the date of conception. We missed it by 3 weeks. Any advise on inexpensive non-insured childbirth?

and sometimes it is hard for me to accept that I am not his father. In my mind I look at him and I love him like I love my own daughter. He is two and the same age my own little girl and I love him so much and sometimes it hurts that I am not his daddy. I found a preschool to send him to and I was filling out the application and I realized that I couldn't put that I was his father even though I feel that I am. I don't know how to deal with these painful feelings or put all the energy I have in me to be his father. Can someone give me some advice.

Ok, I was feeling some pretty strong movement the past few days, last night I had eaten some sugar cookies w/icing and it made me sick, to much sugar I think, I started sweating and feeling really bad and depressed for no reason, later that night I felt very little movement(but I did feel some) The same today I feel a bit better but movement has really slacked of and when i do feel it it is not near as strong, Is this normal at this stage for movent to not be as much or as strong? I have a call into the doctors office but they wait till the end of the day to call back.
