My son is five and a half months old. What are some normal things he should be doing at this point and what will he start doing in the next few weeks? So far he can roll from his back to his stomach and he plays with his feet and he can sit up with very little support. Any idea on how long until hes sitting on his own?

I gained 24 pounds when I was pregnant with my daughter. (She is 18 months old) I never took off the weight. I am now 6 months pregnant and have only gained about 6 pounds. I think maybe my body is simply using up the old storage because I am eating normally. Has this happend to anyone else? Also should I be concerned?

I am 6 months pregnant and I've been getting this weird feeling in my stomach behind my belly button, around that area. It feels like the baby is tugging on something. I know what it feels like when he kicks and when my stomach is stretching its way different than that. It hurts haha. I told my mom about it and she said the baby could be hitting a nerve? I didn't know if anyone had the same problem?

is it only for when my baby who has a cold has fewer, or can you use it, so he doesn't feel sick.

the doctor said, i could give him fewerall just so he feels better, without having fewer.

do you do this like that too???

thanks again,

a very helpless and worried mother

he vomitted yesterday night and this afternoon too, and had diarreah today, twice. the doctor said i should give him pedialite, but he doesn't want any fluids, neither almost none of his formula, in total he had today 4 ounze formula in the morning, which he vomitted about 6 hours later, and in the afternoon maybe 1 ounze and this evening 2 ounze, pedialite almost none, couple drops of water he took.

how do you get them to drink,

is it very bad if he doesn't drink, he doesn't have wet diapers either.

he is very alert most of the time, but every now and then he seems tired or lethargig, but not much.

when should i bring him to the er? when he vomits again, or only when he vomits another 2 or 3 times???

doctor said, the diarreah is not so bad, the bad thing is the vomitting, do you agree.

thanks

Do you guys mind gays? They are people, they might like the same sex. But, who are we to judge? I think it's sad, when people hate gays, only because they like the same gender. I know it makes some people to feel uncomfortable, then don't hang out with them. If you don't like gays, then how would you feel if people hated just because you like the same sex? What's your opinion on this?

She fights her bottle by pushing it out with her tounge and pushing it away with her hands and crying. She does this after drinking only 2 oz. In previous weeks she was drinking about 4-5 oz. at every feeding. What would have caused this change in her feeding habits? Maybe she isn't having a growth spurt, so she doesn't need to eat so much? Or a food allergy? I'm calling th doc tomorrow, but i'm just wondering if anyone has any ideas. Thanks!

My nephew is a bright 11 year old for his age. Up to recently, he has read books about 4 years or greater than his age. In fact, he has tended to read more than 1000 pages a week and hide behind books. He is sharp witted and over time was recognized as gifted and talented. He tends to be a bit of a know it all and certainly apt to argue with anyone including adults about anything. If he could be a certain occupation for his age, he would be a lawyer.

Here is the problem: This year his grades (which got him into a school for advanced children) have gone from A's and B's to F's. He is doing his homework but taking absolutely forever. He is not turning in his homework which his mother can vouch has been completed the night before. He states that he "can't remember" if he did or not. But the teachers are failing him. He is getting into arguments with kids his age. His parents find him exceedingly difficult. Lately, he is monopolizing everyone's time with conversation about his stuff.

Ok i was talking on the phone with my sister who is having her first child and her doctor asked her if she knew where to go to have the baby...so she thought it was a jk and she says "To the bar to have a quick drink and then the hospital"...i was LMAO so hard when she said that and then she said the doctor said really rude " no to the materinity ward at the hospital" like really what would you say if your doctor asked you this question?

Just to let you know she does not drink...never has either so dont think she is a drunk. lol

My mom did when I was 18 except for every once in awhile it stayed like that for over 20 years just because I moved out and took my son with me. i was over 18 and she didn't agree with me leaving. She hardly ever saw my kids until they were grown. Please never totally disown your kids they did not ask to be brought into this world. My 28 year old was a handful all her life and we had many arguments resulting in awful things said by us both but she always knew I was here for her no matter what. 11 months ago she was murdered by her BF her and I had augued the day before which sometimes resulted in our not speaking for awhile but because I knew she was upset with her BF I went to visit her and tell her I loved her around 8 hours later she was dead. I say this to spare any parent the anguish of letting the last words be angry ones. Trust me if you lose a child it is horrible no matter but if your last words were in anger well all I can say is I proably wouldn't be able to live with myself
