He is 7 weeks, can sit with help, can hold his head up majority of the time, and has a healthy appetite. He weighs 13.5 lbs already, and I feel that he might be able to start solids sooner than 4 months.

I'm a first time mom who's exclusively pumping and feeding my 6 week old son breastmilk, but thrice I've had wonky days where my milk production was slightly off, and I had to supplement with a powder formula. My son tends to be gassy, so I chose Enfamil's Gentlease Lipil.

It smells slightly worse than most formulas I've smelled previously, but mixes nicely and he seems to tolerate it just fine. I'm just curious if anyone had a better suggestion as to what formula is great for the occasional supplement bottle. I know that technically they're all the same because they're required to be, but everyone has their own life experiences to draw from.

Thanks! :)

past on birthday parties and toys they never play with 2 days later. We take them to ''Chucky Cheese'' and then they cry all the way home because they didn't want to go yet. I need an idea of something that will still be fun for him .......without spending every penny we have.

She weighs 14 pounds, 10.5 ounces at 25 inches and 6.5 months. I still nurse her. We don't have problems with that. I also feed her baby veggies in these glasses. The only concern is she is so very active and playful and doesn't enjoy naps during the day. In the car yes lol.
The doctor says she is in the 20th percentile now, but healthy.

the other day she said that she would like to "hire me" for a few days. now, i am not sure if that means that she was going to pay me or not, but i babysit for her frequently, under different circumstances, and she always insists that i take pay. i work daily as well, and she doesn't know this yet, but i am taking off work for 3 days so i can be at her house all day.
i'm 17, and i have 7 pets, and my job helps me have money to take care of them. now, they won't starve to death if i take off work for that amount of time, but i'll be losing 3 days worth of pay.
what should i do?

he has been out of a job for two years now. he does part time gigs, nothing serious. he was very kind to me financially so the money is not my problem because i believe something will come through for him eventually. the problem is for someone not working he tends to stay out late every night not comes in 2-4am. sleeps out as he pleases(we live together) he says he stays at his sis because sometimes when he is on the road so late it is easier to and cheaper to stop by her instead of coming home. ( he hangs out nears where she lives.) i dont think he is there for me now and i am worried at the rate he is going he will eventually leave when he finds a job wether im pregnant or not. right now he is acting as if he is a single man. i go to work every morning and i only see him most times when i am leaving to work. it is stressing me now. i think its better to leave now but im scared if i can manage a new born on my own, emotionally and financially. i already have a 12yr old son. help me!

My girlfriend and i had sex the other day WITHOUT a condom, and everything was alright...
She is on the pill, but we had abit of a scare the other day because i came inside her (quite alot of semen) and now we have both agreed that its best if i use a condom!

The problem is... whenever we kiss and get into the mood, i get an erection, but the moment we stop to put on a condom, my erection dies, and i just CANT get it up again!

I have thought of many possibilities to help me...
Viagra!??
I have also thought of using a female condom for my girlfriend (but neither of us know exactly how it works...? It looks like a male condom, but it has TWO rings... and the closed side goes into the vagina... so does the other side go over the penis or wat?

Anyone with any answers to any of my problems please help me out!

Does anyone know if there are bowls and plates made for kids that have a suction cup on the bottom that keeps them stuck to the table? I swear I've seen them before, but now I can't find them in any stores... Does anyone know if they actually work?

I was wondering -

I have an 18 month old boy, Precious as can be mind you! :-).. Who's birth father ( I was with him for 2 years, And @ 5 months pregnant he decided we 'weren't going to work out'...And has since had nothing to do with my son, He's never made any attempts to see him, He doesn't e-mail to check on him (I can not give him my phone number as he would do nothing but harass me)... I was wondering, Would it be morally wrong, For my fiance (Which has been in his life the past year, And has been daddy) to put his name on his birth certificate, And 'really' be his father as far as the 'law' goes?

I have every intention of telling my son the 'truth' when he is old enough to understand, But as of right now, My fiance is who he calls daddy, My fiance is the one that provides for him, Not only emotionally but financially as well, And he loves him like he's his own, You couldn't tell him, That my son ISN'T his child.
Any answers would be greatly appreciated! :-) Thanks!

I ask a question earlier and a mom said she didn't bond with her newborn right away, she said it took a few months to really bond with him. Just wondering how many other mothers have felt this? I feel like I have a bond already with my baby at 18 weeks. I was instantly bonded with my daughter when she was born, she is 7 now. Just wondering :-)
