That I ALWAYS look at people's teeth when they talk to me, or if I'm watching a movie or something? I hate it because for some people I know it makes them feel all self conscious, but I can't help it. I just do.

I've been pumping breastmilk and I'm now ready to stop that and start feeding my baby formula. What is the best way to make your milk "dry up?" I've been pumping a lot less...is there any other way?

I started to breast feed and my milk has come through but now I am bottle feeding and my breasts are large tight and VERY sore.
How do I get the milk to go away? Do I have to wait it out and how long?
I am in sooo much pain and just want them to go back to how they were!?

According to the old wive's tale a fast heart rate indicates a girl and a slower one indicates a boy. At my appt. this week (16 weeks) the heart rate was 162. Fast. I am hoping for a girl and I go Dec. 6th to find out, but until then just wondering if the old wives tale was true for any of you.

He only takes it when he lays down for a nap or goes to bed for the night but he will wake up in the middle of the night if he loses it. I go into work around 9 in the morning and I take him to work with me so I can't really let him cry it out there when he takes a nap since its in an office setting. He won't even take the Ortho kinds, he only wants the Gerber Soft Center for newborns since thats what the hospital gave him when he was born. Can anyone help?

Does everyone who gets a c-section end up with "cesarean-shelf"? Where the belly sort of hangs over the incision site? I have a friend who recently had a c-section and she is wondering what other post-cesarean mothers have expereinced. Is your scar noticeable? Have you had any lingering problems since the surgery?? Thanks.

This evening, I took my two children to town to see the Christmas light switch on and all the entertainment that was going on. After an hour or so both of them (3 and 5) said they needed the toilet. The public ones were all closed and the pubs wouldn't let me use theirs due to licensing laws with children, so I went to a nearby cafe. They said I couldn't use them as they were for paying customers only. I pleaded with them explaining how desperate they were but they said no and were really rude. My 3 year old them wet herself as she had been holding it for about 20 minutes so I blew my top at them. Left and had to take my 5 year old down a dark stinking alley to do hers. Then had to take them home as 3 year old in a complete state. How can somewhere refuse a child the toilet to the point she wets herself? I'm madder than mad and feel I should complain to the cafe and the council for not having public toilets open when there were thousands of people out. What do you reckon, justified?

Why don't they try to relate on a mature level instead of pretending like you have every reason to be happy?

Hi, i've been seeing my boyfriend for a year and he's really good with my daughter and i we always spend time as a family. My daughters father is in and out of her life and has been keeping her ocassionaly when i have things to do. She will stay with him but she will cry to go home. He wonders why shes so anti-social with him, duh its because she doesnt know him well. Anyway its the opposite with my boyfriend. They love eachother and she calls him uncle-daddy. He doesnt seem to mind. I've noticed that yesterday i took her to see her dad and she was very cold with him, she didnt want to stay, but she was so happy when i took her over my boyfriends house. He doesnt know i have a boyfriend and I dont get into his personal business because I dont care.If he knew his kid was calling another guy dad he would get so mad but why would he care when he's not doing sh!t for her? Am I a bad mother?I dont care too much for her father but he is starting to get on my nerves now.

Can you explain why babies with jaundice & problems with bilirubin levels are put under lights? My niece was born a few days ago very premature, but doing well except that she's 'under the lights' most of the time. How long do they do this for? Also --- the NICU uses a plastic sheet over her to keep her body temp more steady, how long does that last? She's 2 lbs 2 oz and her oxygen is good, and they say all signs are that she's doing very well all things considered... but just curious. Thanks!

How come whenever someone asks a question about their child concerning health or problems 99% of the answers are "take them to the ER right away!" I mean, I've seen parents saying "my baby is drooling alot..is it teething?" and people answer "take them to the ER!" Do the parents on here really call their doctors and rush their kids to the hospital that often?
