Do you have any tips about how to stop a baby from crying like all day long it seems. I feed her I change her, I play with her, I try and hold her, I burp her, I give her her soother, and she just cries, she demands constant attention, and when I give her cuddles she just cries right through it. I want to start ripping out my hair. Does anyone have any idea what this could be. She is six weeks and has been getting progressivly more fussy as the weeks go by. Also any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

If my gf was pregnant and the acuntaine was MAYBE still in her system like maybe the last week or 2 it COULD be in her system what are the effects of a deformed baby? and do you think its right if me the father wants to keep it wiether it is deformed or menatlly retarded that i still wanna keep it. Yet the mother of the child is letting her parents influence her decion to abort it but she dosent know what to do yet what should i do? I wanna keep it but i feel maybe she dosent but i cant convice her to keep it and sighn the baby over to me and i would take care of it myself and still let her see it whenever and have all rights as a mom that she should have but i will be responible for how it is raised and taken care of. i just need advice on what to tell her i wanna support her either way and really want to but she still lives with her mom and i cant stand to see them without getting mad anymore. Yet she wont tell me what she wants to do and the abortion visit for consoltaion is tuesday

I usually like to have a little late night snack. Sometimes, I have to go to the store to get it. But, once n a while my kids will wake up before I leave and want to come. I don't like to take them out at night because I'm afraid they'll get sick. My oldest is 6 years and gets ear infections really easy. They start really freaking out and crying wanting to go with me. My oldest says that she is afraid to be alone. I'm a single mom. What can I do to help her not be afraid so that I can go to the store? I'm at a loss!!!

Baby food this week & I can not get him to burp after he eats. Is it normal for a baby not to burp after eating baby food? He takes a bottle about 45mins-1hour after eating food (that's as soon as he'll take it, won't take it directly after eating) and he burps after that. But sometimes he don't take a bottle & never burps. Am I just being over concerned because this is my first baby?

So I went to the doctor for a urine check and it was positive (he said it was VERY positive and in middle of the day too, which means so far the pregnancy is stable). I don't want to get to excited in case I fall into that 1% chance that I am not. Both tests are only 99% chance and this doesn't seem real...

Ever been diagnosed as pregnant and weren't?

You started your period the next morning?

I am on the pill; I have taken the pill late once or twice & missed a day once. I had unprotected sex one night, but started the next morning?
Could I be pregnant even though I started the next morning?!!?

I know that in the States 16 is considered the legal age of consent. But I was just wondering, are 16 year olds matured enough mentally to make decisions which could have long-term and long-reaching effects on their lives and is it justifiable to set the legal age of consent so low?

I recently (about 5 weeks ago) started taking Ortho Tricyclen lo. I waited 7 days as directed before having unprotected sex. My period did not come this month, but I did have very minor bleeding roughly 2 weeks before I was due to start. Could I be pregnant? My friends are all telling me that you are supposed to wait 30 days before having unprotected sex once you start the pill. I am very confused. Should I stop taking the pills until I find out if I am pregnant or not?

I decided not to put my three year old in preschool this year (we are trying to resolve her issue with encopresis). I plan to put her in next year. What kinds of things should she be learning right now. I'm trying to come up with some lesson plans that I can do with her at home a couple days a week. We do a craft almost everyday (she loves to do them), we're working on cutting skills with safety scissors, working on number and alphabet recognition and we are practicing tracing. I also do felt board stories with her. I'm trying to keep it fun.

I was just curious, I go to my checkups every four weeks I have only been examined the first two times now every time I go she just checks my uterus the measurments, listens to the heartbeat, and ask how I have been feeling and I keep all clothes on, when I was pregnant with my first baby she checked me at every appt, down there, I am 5 months now and I am sure later on she will eventually start checking me but is it normal for her to not ever check me, I have even told her my stomach has been tightening allot and she does check me by feeling my stomach but that is it, so is it normal that she doesnt do a full checkup on me ever?
