I really just want it to be me and my husband but as I am her only daughter I really don't want to hurt her feelings as I know she will be very upset. Do you think it's just easier to go along with things for an easy life??

I'm asking because my little brother is this age, and wants one. I was thinking about getting him one for Christmas, but am not sure if it's really a good idea or not. Do your children have cell phones? If so, what age did you get it for them? What do you think about a 12 year old with one?

What breast pump have you found to be the quickest, works the best, cost effective, etc. breast pump? I am pregnant and would like to register for a pump, but don't know which one would be the best. I have read all the different reviews off the babies sites, but still unsure. I would like your opinion on battery or ac/dc run units. Thanks so much for your help!

I have a 12 month old son who I am trying to get to use his sippy cup, but he acts like it is really hard to get whatever he is drinking out. Is there a sippy cup that is better than the other? Or do you have any other suggestions what I can do b/c I am trying to get him off his bottle.

If you had a 3 1/2 year old, 22 month old, and a 2 1/2 month old (all of which were planned) and you found out you were pregnant (not planned and while on birth control). What would you do? Especially if you had decided to wait 3 years before having another? Would you totally freak out? Or would you be happy and deal? Has anyone had this happen before? How do you deal with having two preschoolers and then two babies only 11 months apart? This is only hypothetical since nothing is confirmed yet...I'm just wondering? How can you get out when you have to carry both babies and still keep control of the older ones?

My 4 month old daughter had the perfect sleep schedule. She'd go to sleep around 10ish and wouldn't wake up for a bottle until around 9am. Once she fell asleep,there was nothing that would wake her up..But the past week,she's back to waking up every 3 hours again. I've been giving her a little cereal at night to fill up up a litle more and that hasn't been helping. Any suggestions on how to help her sleep better?

I am a mother of three; I babygirl in in heaven now being the angel that I always knew she was. Now, I only have my two boys with me. I had been thinking about having another child but, after I had my daughter, I felt my family was complete and I got my tubes tied at the age of 22. Now I long to have another child. I have already had 3 c-sections and I have a condition called endometriosis which can cause infertility. I want the reversal surgery so I can be able to have more children and then there is the risk of chancing another c-section. If anybody out there has any experiences like the one I'm longing to experience please let me know. I've read that a vaginal birth can be tried after multiple c-sections but, alot of risks go along with that. I need info on reversal surgeries and having multiple c-sections please! Thank you all in advance!

I have read all the websites and books on how much your baby is suppose to weigh at certain times throughout your pregnancy. But I was just wondering...in actuality do you remember what your baby weighed at 30 weeks...or around that time frame?

I just want to know if my baby is along the same path as others.
She is 3 lbs 4 oz.

My husband works 6 days a week and used to have Sundays off and we would always do "family things" on Sundays. HIs schedule changed and now his day off is Tuesday. I have 2 kids - 6 and 2. My 6 year old is in first grade. We were thinking about letting her miss school tomorrow and spending the day at Busch Gardens. She is doing great in school and is really a great kid. Opinions on missing school for this? Thanks.

How long will a doctor let you be in labor before resorting to c-section? I know every hosrital and doc is different but there's got to be an average somewhere.

My 10 year old son has an extremely limited diet. He eats bagels, chicken fingers, peanut butter sandwiches, cereal, grapes and apples, salty chip (and of course sweet treats). Obviously my wife and I have constantly encouraged some variety but we've had no luck and my wife believes we could do more harm psychologically by forcing the issue. Any suggestions or should we let him outgrow this?
