I realize that all babies learn at different paces. I'd like to know at what age yours started to learned, and how you went about teaching him/her. Id' also like to know MORE or LESS how long it took for him/her to master soon feeding (if ever, yeah right!). I also realize that they are likely to make a mess in order to learn. I have a hard time NOT controlling the situation. I really don't mind that he spills food on the floor or dets dirty. I just like meals to be done with as quickly as possible. I know I need to change that believe me I am working on it. Any advice, and please be nice.

My daughter's friends parents let her walk home and stay home alone after school. Am I wrong for thinking that is too young?
Do any of you do this?

Okay, so my next door neighbor watches my three and a half month old son while I am at work. She is nine months pregnant so every now and then she tells me that she has a doctors appt and that the other neighbor will be watching my son for about two hours. (I am fine with that)....but my question is, sometimes the other neighbor mentions it, or I have to drop him off there or pick him up there...should I offer her money for that?...or is it up to my real babysitter to offer her something seeing as how she is the one who is getting paid for going to the drs office...Am I making sense?

My period was a day late, and I had no cramps or anything, but then it started and I put a tampon in. About 5 hours later I took it out and it was only halfway covered, and then it was really light the rest of the day(so light that I only used a pantyliner, and even that was hardly used), and today it's gone! I took a pregnancy test the night before I got my "period" and it said not pregnant. What is going on?

My fifteen month old daughter has a horrible diaper rash unlike anything I've ever seen. It's got bleeding spots now. It started about a week ago and just doesn't get any better. Yesterday she developed a rash on both of her cheeks (face) and under the inner underside part of her left leg. This morning she woke up with rash under both eyes. I have an appointment with her urgent care physician at 2:30 but does anyone have any clue what could be wrong with her? My mom said something about fifth's disease- what's that? No new soaps, no one else with rashes, I've given oatmeal baths daily sometimes several times daily and we've tried numerous creams and pastes including monistat 7 externally because we thought it could have been a yeast infection. Also have used yogurt because we thought it was yeast.

Stay at home or working mother. Do you consider being a mom a job? Taking care of your children and making sure that they are well cared for whether doing yourself or choosing the right day care. Bieng a mom is the most important job in the world. Am i wrong? Also do all working moms feel that stay at home moms are lazy sitting and watching tv all day and letting there children run a muck? I am a stay at home mom and don't remember the last time i got to sit and watch any tv unless my children were sleeping ( napping or bedtime) Being a mother and a wife whethere working or not is a full time job. Right?

My wonderful six month daughter and the sippy cup. : ) I give her the sippy at every meal time. (highchair meals) And she is AMAZING at holding it and putting it up to her mouth. She just doesnt suck on it to get anything out. Its more like a play toy. She chews on it, turns it upside down, throws it on the floors...I want to try to ween her from her bottles and start using the sippy cup more but she woont drink out of it. I used formula, water, juice (diluted of course)...any suggestions?

Ever since I became pregnant I feel like a different species! Even though I am very lucky to h ave a great husband and family and friends. I feel like a complete outcast sometimes. But my friends dont call me as much now, probably because I cant drink anymore. I know I am probably just being silly and I know my emotions are all over the place but when I get a little depressed, I dont even want to talk to anyone anymore, they just say. You are just pregnant. AHH! Just wondering if anyone else has felt this way at times.

I've tried altering diet, supplements, fiber, nothing seems to help. I don't know if it's a slow digestive tract, allergy, etc...
my doctor doesn't seem to be concerned, but I am.

He doesn't want to rock the boat by asking her to have the baby take a paternity test- my husband is about 90% sure it's his and is negotiating child support-(out of court with her) he doesn't want to force a paternity and drive her to child support court if it is- he would rather pay the little bit she's asking for and be done with it. I need to know for sure, I think he needs to ask for a paternity test- He doesn't think so- Is there anyway to say for sure this baby is his- his family states it looks like him- neither one of us have seen it yet- just told by family members that it does look like him. Help
