I personally think it is best that your child eventually drift off to sleep on his own w/o rocking... and singing.. etc. So when is that? I have a 7 1/2 mo old little boy and our nightly ritual hasn't changed. We play... we eat.. we have bath time.. we play... and then he drinks his milk as I rock him to sleep. Im just curious when that should be changed to laying him in his crib and letting him fall asleep on his own.

Is it too soon?

(Please say yes it is too soon!... haha Just kiddin!! I am soo gonna miss it when it's time!)

My daughter has a really bad stuffy nose. I have tried to give me medicine for it and NOTHING has helped. I even used the boogie sucker thingy and that doesn't even seem to help. I feel bad for her. Shes not coughing she just has a stuffy nose. Any suggestions on what I can do to help her would be great. Thanks..

Has anyone had any luck w/ this? My good friend just adopted a 3 week old baby from Texas. Long story but it was a spur of the moment thing since the baby's mom got sent to prison. The infant was breast fed for several weeks & my friend would like to continue it. She's had the baby for a couple of days & the baby does okay on formula. But do you know any herbal things to stimulate breast milk production right away? Or any real medications (I know my friend would have to see a Dr for real meds). I've heard of people doing this, but I've never met them so I don't know who to ask. She'd rather use herbs/natural things than prescriptions.
Thanks for any advice or links.

My son is in 2nd grade and was playing in school outside. He was angry with a kid his age who stole his basketball and when he finally got it, he threw it at the boy and broke his glasses and the school is telling me I have to pay for the glasses because the parents don't have a warranty on the glasses. I'm a single parent, and I can't even afford my bills. I am on lots of low income programs. Will I still have to pay for the glasses?

My 3 month old son went to the doctor and she said his hips were popping and set him up with x-rays. After I left I thought why didn't I ask what this could be. She didn't seem all that concerned but she did set him up with xrays. Anyone have any ideas of what this could be? Maybe someone could ease my mind

One popular belief is that if a child plays a video game, they will emulate what they see and possibly harm or kill one of their peers. Unfortunately in court cases parents say they are not to blame, and that the video games made their child do it.

If a parent steps in and talks to the child about the game, they will understand more. They have the power to step in, and know what games are good and bad for their child. To me this makes sense, as I was raised playing games like Doom and Wolfenstein and my parents explained to me the different between the games and real life.

I would like to know if parents should be held responsible for their child when it comes to playing video games, and not the video game itself?

ive noticed that a lot of remarks/digs are made towards young mothers and how that need to get a life and only having the children for welfare checks whats with that? i had my lil one just after i turned 20 and after two mcs dh had planned him and ive been ttc for the past 15 months ds in now 2. i really don't understand why people feel the need to attack people for having children young? i always intended to become a young mother and think the point is if your a good mother not a young,old or middle aged mother. is there a reason people are so against age issues

I have a 11 month old baby with 5 teeth, how soon should you start brushing them, I know it's going to be a chore.

You would have no reason to suspect that you are pregnant, so if you continue taking them what would happen (say until your next period, when you know somethings different)? If I got pregnant I would want to be, but I would rather wait a year so I am on birth control.

Also, how much milk should I be producing at a time if I am pumping? (in ounces). I am new at this and have no lactation consultant. I am looking for one but live in a very small town! Is it possible for breast milk to be too watery for my infant?

Has anyone used the 'Soothie' brand bottles/pacifiers?!

I plan on using them w/my daughter when she's born, and was just wondering what everyone else's experiences with them were.

My son LOVED his 'hospital' binky...And the packaging says, These are the same thing?!!?

the reason i ask this question is because i reasently had a miscarriage and it was a really hard thing to go through especially at the age of 16 so for all of you out there who think i want a baby because they are so sweet and which they are take my advice and try to wait because it can cause you alot of pain in your life an your partners

I am in the middle of a divorce from my husband our son is 7 weeks old and prior to his birth my husband seemed excited, although we are seperated I set up times for him to visit our son three days a week for 2 hours supervised by my mother. Since our sons birth he has only spent MAYBE 8 hours with him (an hour here, an hour there). My attorney says that is good he does not visit and I am fine with that I just dont understand how someone goes from always wanting a child to not visiting him, supporting him ect. He never calls to check on him, and when I do hear from him he never just says how is our son....he just sometimes says..I love you son. He knows it is his child because he looks just like him and when refering to him he says "MY BOY" but he acts like he does not care but he refuses to agree on custody arangments and is foring us to go to court. Does anyone have ideas?? Just curious
