She get changed right before bed..and doesnt really get too much liquid during the day. She has a bottle before bed...but not immediatley before or anything.she wakes up around 7or 8 most day and has a bottle of milk then with breakfast..and probably has another bottle of juice before lunch around 12...or 1. then probably another bottle or 2 before dinner around 5 or 6. then one before bed at around 8 or 8 or 9pm. But even when she gets changed right before bed she still has a diaper burtsting off of her when she wakes up and she sleeps through the night so i really dont want to wake up and wake her up just to change her..but we are ruining lots of sheets and making her crib smell...We'd like to start potty training her soon. She takes her diaper off alot at night too. But they say if they sleep through the night and are dry thats when they're ready...I just dont know lol. anyone know?? lol

My husband and I have a 12 month old little girl and we can't decide if we should have another or not. We think that financially, we can offer our little girl much more and we would still be able to travel and such if she's an only child, but there are people out there telling us that she willl be much happier with a sibling than being an only child with everything.

Most parents are not meant to be parents because they need self-control, anger management, or something like that.

My oldest daugther will be turning 6 next month, but it has being almost a week that at morning when getting ready to go to school she says "I don't want to go to school". I have ask her if it is something wrong at school and she just come out with excuses like I don't like to color, I don't want to go out side and play or I just want to stay with you... She is an A & B student and usually she doesn't like to miss school even if she is sick, because she doesn't want to missed.. I'm kind of worried can it be something wrong at school or maybe is the fact that I'm pregnant ( 6 months, expecting a gir) maybe she is just a little jelouse or starting to feel that she migth not be loved anymore.. I try to spend as much as time possible with her and her little brother so they won't feel that they will be left aside.. any advices on what to do or what can be wrong ??? Will be helpfull !!!!

She has lied and stolen an item from a friend, accused me of not giving her a bath in 5 days, and now accusing her father of abuse. She made all A's this six weeks and we let her go to her granny's w/her brother to spend the night. Before bringing her home she had told them my husband open-handed hit her on the back and there was a mark present. When Granny arrived at our home to drop kids off she told us what had happened. This didn't happen! We are totally against child abuse. We are both divorcee's helping out the other parent by having the kids live with us. We have been waiting and wanting our kids with us. But to have the lieing and it getting worse each time. I wanted to see this mark so I looked with her grandmother and no mark was present. NO MARK! She just told them this story 1 hour before. I believe it was put there on purpose. She is only 8 but I know her mother put her through alot but I don't understand why she is acting as if she wants to go back to her mother. Thanks

My son is 2 years old. He refuses to eat vegetables of any type. Actually, there aren't many foods that he will eat at all. I know a lot of it is just plain stubbornness, but he will gag and get sick on a few things. I've tried praising him, offering him treats if he will just try something. I do spank my child for other offenses, but I don't think this is appropriate in this case because it is such an issue with him. I don't want to give him a complex or anything. I give him vitamins and the occasional pediacare shake, but I know this isn't enough. He will eat bananas and apples, but that's all the fruits he will eat. Am I doing okay? Should I just relax and wait til he grows up a bit?

They have a pool and breakfast in AM. Two responsible female adults for supervision. Is it any more dangerous than a home sleepover? We have a small house.

My partner had a vasectomy reversal in September. We've been ttc since then. He just had a semen analysis and it was right on 20 count with low mobility. I also had a blood test and found I had 26 prolactin level but great progestrone etc. Is it still possible for us to conceive? Two months a no go. We're working into our third. I have purchased pre-seed and some male fertility vitamins for him. What else can we do? Any medicines we can take per doctor? I know it may seem that we haven't been trying long but I have been for over a year (with my former husband but no luck and we decided to split).

Ok well while I was pregnant I gained 42lbs. My son is now 4 months, I am breastfeeding and I have lost 55lbs. I'm not saying this too be like "look at me I'm sooo skinny." I am serious!! I am losing hair, but I feel like I have enough energy to pass it out freely to other mothers and the weight loss is out of control. What's wrong??

What do other mom's give their kids if they can't tolerate milk? Do I continue with stage 2 formula's? I know I am supposed to limit the juice, but he's starting to only want that, and I want to curb that habit quickly!! He doesn't seem to want water. Awaiting our doctor visit, need some ideas in meantime!

I just had a baby 6 months ago, but I'm thinkin I want another one sooner than later, say in about 3 more months. I like the thought of them growing up close in age and getting them out the house at the same time. What is your opinion on this. Women who have babies close in age, is it more difficult or easier in the long run to get it out the way or is there a benefit in waiting.

I am 38 weeks pregnant. The other morning (1:00 a.m.) I took my usual trip to the restroom to pee. Mind you, I had been having contractions consistently for days. I returned to bed just in time for another contraction. As I was laying there, I felt wetness around my leg. I looked down to find my underwear soaked in a 4 inch diameter from front to back. I ran to the bathroom to check what had just gushed out of my body. It was not urine. It was odorless and colorless. I proceeded to believe I was leaking amniotic fluid. The next morning my contractions persisted so my husband and I went to the ER. They did a "Bromthymol" test in which the strip was negative for amniotic fluid. So, needless to say, I have not a clue as to what fluid came out of me. I have had increased vaginal discharge, but nothing like this. Any thoughts?

I have a 15month old that is having a hard time going from formula to milk. I have tried mixing the two, but he KNOWS. He is now starting to look at the bottle when we give it to him and if it isn't juice he will throw the cup down! I have considered the possiblity of milk allergy, but I think he's just being stubborn. Any tips?

I have a little boy, and I HATE using baby powder on him. Once he pees, he gets all that mucky stuff all in his little fat creases... do I really need to be using baby powder? Can I just use vaseline or baby oil gel instead?
