I have just bought a second hand breast pump off ebay a Medela Pump in Style. I am having second thoughts now due to risk of infections such as HIV (which I know is minimal). How would I clean the pump? Has any one else bought a second hand breast pump and it has been fine?

I'm not saying abusing them or leaving bruises on them because I think this is wrong, but is it illegal to spank their behinds when they do something wrong? Or does it vary from state to state?

I have a family relationship problem but it is a long story;
so hang on...

When I was a little stud I worked as at a sort of junkyard. Everything was ok, I got to build small toys for myself and I got fed. During my sparetime I did some work on my "car" and other stuff.

Then one day a couple of hippies and TheRootOfAllEvil aka JatJatBoink showed up. They tricked me into their trap and kidnapped me.

They were nice people (although hippies) and taught me some neat tricks. There were a frog guy present at some moment and he was the only one who listened to my story.

With time more stuff happened. Raised a family got a nice job in the military buisness. Things got pretty bad and my children were abducted. Now all of a sudden some guy who reasembles my son shows up and waves a SuppaFlashlight (tm) at me...

What should I do?

Men have the same basic facilities for breastfeeding that women do, the only real difference is size and capacity, the breastmilk itself is identical to a woman's. That part is fact, a man could use hormones to stimulate breastfeeding or stimulate breastfeeding naturally as has been noted in several cases.

Now the main question particularly for men is how do you feel about this information?

For women, particularly women with male partners, how would you feel if your husband choose to breastfeed(biological children)?

I have a 4 month old daughter who just hates tummy time. Everytime I go to lay her on her tummy for this she lays there for a few seconds then she starts to scream. I even bought her one of those mats to lay on with the toys and pillow to help prop her up and she still does it. I know that they need tummy time to develope muscle and stuff. So please give me some ideas to try. Thanks in advance.

Okay...i got a perscription for my son (amoxicillion - the pink liquid stuff). It said to give him "1 tsp. twice daily" Do I HAVE to wait 12 hours before i give him the 2nd dose of the day? i forgot to give him a dose when he woke up this morning and the first dose for today was at 7:00pm. i was wondering if i should wake him up and try to give him the 2nd dose and then resume the regular schedule tomorrow (once in morning and once at night). Anyone's help would be appreciated.

My sister in law has a son that her and her husband get to see only 1-2 hrs a day. The rest of the day, he is with a family member sitter. Their philosophy is its worth the sacrifice to provide a better life for their son, and I'm having trouble seeing her point of view.
My husband has a job that he loves and allows him to have plenty of family time. Im a stay at home mom. Our philosophy is: why have kids if you just have to pay someone else to raise them?
Money or Kids?
Sacrifice time with your kids for more money, or sacrifice some income for time with your kids? Can anyone tell me WHY exactly they would be willing to give up all but an hour or two a day with their children, just so they can be better off? We arent hard up, our daughter has everything she needs, and is very happy. I know if we can do it, that anyone can. So why dont they? My family was middle class when i was a kid, and I am GRATEFUL that my parents were there for me. Care to share another point of view?
