I was just wondering, Me and my partner are trying again to have a baby. We had a miscarriage in late august because of a molar pregnancy. She had a d&c in early Sept. the doctor okay'd us having a baby again. Her first period since the d&c was heavier than normal but her next period which she just had on the first was normal. According to our caculations she ovulated yesterday and she has been having all of the ovulating symptoms and me and my partner have been havin sex all week, the last time was 2 nights ago. She goes to the doctor on the 27th and I know that it is no way for us to know now but do you think our chances are good???

My little girl is a great night time sleeper (now that we have fixed her previous gas problem) and when I say great...I mean 12 hour great.

Naptime on the other hand...whole different story. Recently she has begun this crazy nap thing about only wanting to nap for 30 - 45 min and then wake up screaming. I am miserable. She is tired the rest of the day and cranky. I really feel like I spend the whole day trying to get her to nap. Its exhausting.

I have tried letting her "cry it out" even though I dont believe in it but out of exhaustion. I have tried everything. Pick up/Put down. Patting her gently back to sleep. Crying. Making her stay up longer. Nighttime routine. White noise. Music. I am at a loss. I know she isnt getting enough naptime bc she wakes up tired, yawning, rubbing her eyes. And conts this for hours till she lays back down.

She does this with both naps and I am lost on what to try next. Any advice? Or is this just a part of having a 7 m old?

About 6 mos. ago I ran into an old friend. We let our kids play a couple of times, and then she asked me to babysit her daughters. I have watched them nearly everyday since. They are wonderful children, but they are always sick. After asking to take them to the doctor numerous times, I took them myself. They were given meds., but when I sent them home, I was told ,by the 4 y/o that they were not given to them. I said nothing, but then we I got their meds again, my friend picked her kids up for 5 days, and left the meds here. I provide diapers, food, socks,shoes,coats,etc. I know that their parents love them, but I also know that they are on drugs, that is why they leave them with me so often. When with their parents, they are left to fend for themselves, so they beg for me. I have talked to them, but they feel that as long as they dont do drugs in the presence of the kids, then nothing is wrong. I totally disagree! I cannot raise them, or I would call CPS. I need advice.

My best friend and I are both 17, very outgoing, and successful. We're also both virgins and we pride ourselves on this quality. About a week ago, we were shocked when her little sister who is only 13 years old came to us and told us that she was pregnant by a guy our age! What should I do to help her? She's as good as my own sister, and I have no idea what to do.

My son is 13 months old and we are talking about having another baby in a year. I was wondering whether to get another crib or move my son into his toddler bed. How old should he be when we make the transition to a toddler bed?

Im a nanny. the oldest boy among 3 is 8. his attitude is horrendous!!!! now his mom and dad talk to him punish him and hes fine. until mom and dad are gone. then its nothing but arguing, fighting with his brothers, throwing fits. Im at a loss. ive talked to his parents and they do the same thing they always do which isnt getting to him. so are there any parents out there with boys who can help me get a handle on this situation? little tips or something on how to handle his attitude? it is very frustrating.

What else we could do?
My 9 year old ( my husbands child but i adopted him) is a very strong willed and stubborn child. He does only what he likes when he likes and doesn't want to be imposed things or get grounded or banned from priviledges and when that happens he ignores and defy both me and his dad. He always wants to contradict what we say and push the limits and broke the rules. He gets counseling. He tried grounding and taking away priviledges but we can't take it anymore to fight with him hour by hour when he is grounded to keep him from tv, computer, games.

My doctor recommended a little bit of dark karo syrup for my 1 month old in a bottle of formula (shes breastfed). The poor thing was backed up for 9 days...well she finally went this morning after 3 bottles...1/2 tsp in 2 oz of formula, and it was UNBELIEVABLE! The doctor tried to tell me she wasn't backed up. This little baby pooped about 3 lbs worth of yellow mud!

Should I give her some karo syrup every couple of days if she hasn't gone? I hate to let her get that backed up again she was miserable last time! Are there any bad things about giving her the syrup?

i think it should becuase its killing human life its not a just a mass of cells once its starts forming its human,it already a soul so if the female is having a baby from the cuase of abuse or rape dont kill the baby for the action it not the babys fault but instead give it up for adoption not abortion
