what if you feel fine no pain nothing. my question is if you feel good and feel your emotionally ready to have sex again..can you? would there be any problems that come along with that if you were to have sex? or would you be able to as long as you are having no problems and you feel ready.

My friend's five year old got into a fight at school today. He pushed another boy for telling him he couldn't play with another little girl. He got in trouble yesterday for punching another child in the stomach. I don't want to spank him and I think sending him to his room is a bad idea. Any other ideas for discipline?

There's tons of people on here who have like over 9,000 points on here. They're like the top-dogs in this section. My question is--how can anyone who spends that much time on here be a good parent? They act like they know everything about parenting yet they spend so much time on here they have thousands and thousands of points. How can these people actually be good parents?

I have been breastfeeding my son for four months now. I am not in any pain what so ever. I have noticed a small red rash on the outside outer edges of my breast. It does not itch and my son does not have thrush. It will go away some and get brighter sometimes too. It has been there for about a week. I also have been getting little red dots under my skin on my breast like a bruise almost. They are about the size of an eraser. My question is have any of you ever encountered this or anything similar? What did you do to correct this? Any information is appreciated.

I went to see the doctor a few days ago for anxiety, he prescribed me the med Paxil. (I am a mother of two daughters, four years and four months old.) I am not sure if I am also suffering from depression, but I do feel down alot of days. I am wondering if anyone has taken Paxil and if it will affect me in any negative ways. I am hesitant to take it also because I've heard it causes weight and I am already overweight. Any advice would help. Thanks

My crush does like me, I am pretty sure. I like him too(a lot), and I don't know what to do. He's really sweet. My friends tell me to talk to him, but I am shy. Also, my parents don't allow me dating in HS. They're extremely strict! My dad will probably get mad if he finds out I like someone; he thinks it's a bit slutty. Ugh. I am a goody goody two shoes. All of my friends tell me they'd go out with their crush. My heart tells me to try to go out with him, but my brain tells me to listen to my logical side. What do I do?
I don't wanna hurt his feelings.


I am 15.5 on a side note. I'm the kind of person who cares a lot about getting into a good college.

He's a really nice person. I think the only reason he hasn't asked me out yet (he knows I like him) is cuz someone told him I wasn't allowed to date

My baby was born 8 weeks premature and is getting breastmilk still but he has to have 2 bottles a day of formula for the extra calories. Plus he gets an iron supplement which I'm sure is causing his constipation.

He has not had a bowel movement on his own for over 3 weeks. I have had to give him a supposetory every 3 days so he'll go. The doctor says it's normal for a baby to not go everyday...but every 3 days, come on. Today is the 4th day of trying Karo syrup but still hasn't gone. How long and how often do I need to give him Karo before he will go? Any suggestions or other ideas would help...

Right now I plan on buying the following for my 1st baby nursery:

Changing table/dresser combo
Toy Box

Baskets for baby supplies

What else should a nursery have besides clothes and stuff like that? What do you think are nice extras?

My son has had to change formulas several times and finally the doctor has put him on LactoFree Lipil Concentrate formula but there are no directions on how to prepare it---with the powder there are certain scoops and ouces of water but there is nothing on the labels of the cans. I have tried to look it up on the internet but no help is provided. Thanks

My son goes to a really good daycare. He loves it there and has learned so much. The past year, he will take spells were he is almost unbearable to be around at daycare. He will hit his friends and kick and hit the teachers when they put him in time out. This isn't something that happens every day..just every once in a while and it never lasts for more that a couple of days at a time. Yesterday was the first time in 3 months that he's had a bad report from his daycare. Is he going through a phase? How can I get it into his little head that he needs to straighten up and treat his teachers and friends with more respect.

She said that it had something to do with the white cells but that it was not that low where they would be concern. But she did not explain exactly what this meant. Does anyone know???

I think I have this. I have an appt with my doctor tomorrow and will discuss it with her, but just wanted to know if anyone else has contracted this while pregnant, and if you took any special precautions.

My son brings home all sorts of nasty diseases from pre-school, so I probably got this from him.
