I was just curious as to if anyone out there thinks Dr.s and hospitials should be more encouraging of breastfeeding. My doctor told me that breastmilk was the best for your baby at the very begining but never mentioned another word about it through the rest of my preg. They would always just ask are u going to be bottle or breastfeeding? I'm not saying that I think they should force it on you, but just help you to be more knowledgeable about the importance of it. I started thinking about this cause the other day I was at the hospital visiting someone who had just had their baby boy and it was time to try and nurse him. He had no intrest in latching on. You could tell he was tired and nursing was going to be to much work. So instead of the nurse helping her or saying lets get the lactation consul. she says well he needs to eat so I'll go get a bottle...I thought to myself ur a nurse help her! So i guess I'm asking is do u think people in the medical feild should be more encouraging?

My daughter is almost 1 1/2. We had a dog (no longer now) and she was quite happy and good with it.
would like to get a kitten, but i am pregnant. i know i cant go near cat feces/ litter box.
Anyone have experience or ideas?
where on earth would i even put a litter box with the toddler.
And i really cant stand alot of animal hair sticking to newborn clothes/ toys etc.
do ALL cats shed hair? i know you can brush them often to help. maybe a kitten isnt the best idea, just want some feedback please.

I am currently dating my girlfirend who has an 8 year old daughter. We have been together for over a year. and living with each other for about 6 months. The problem i am having is my girlfirend will never discipline her daughter. and she is too stubborn to let me do anything about it. in her mind her child is the greates thing in the world and can never do anything wrong. it is a very sensitive issue with her cause she claims she never wants to hear it. but her daughter is a 8 year old brat. she never listens to me or even her and her daugther is always talking back. my girlfreind always claims that i'm picking on her an what not and that "kids will be kids." I have no kids and have never been married nor will i plan to unless all thee of us can get along. any suggesting would be helpful

My daughters 3 shell be 4 in january shes been going to daycare since she turned 2. Her last daycare she went to she really liked it. Sometimes she'd cry when i dropped her off but when i called within the next 10 minutes she was fine...the teacher when id bring her there would hold her and try to distract her by making her color or play tag or some other form. Now she goes to preschool and she absolutely hates it...the first week she went it was kinda cold and shes been potty trained for 2 half years and the teacher told her to hold it when she said she had to pee and she peed her pants...my daughter told me this myself and then they dressed her in shorts and a tank top and sent her home. they never do activites there what they do is send little artsy stuff home for them to do but i never see her color anything. They sing and say there abc's and stuff but shes supposed to be in speech therpey she was at her other daycare and they still havent signed her up and shes been going for 3

My nine month old has learned to stand in the crib. I don't mind that he stands, but when it's night-night time he needs to sleep. We have a regular morning routine and today it's nearly an hour off. I don't mind that it's off, but I know he has to sleep...otherwise, he gets incrediably hard to manage.

He starts off playing then doesn't know how to get down. I go and lay him back down and he starts crying.

How do I get him to stay laying down?
Do I keep going in to lay him down?

My mom says to smack his leg, but I really don't like the idea of smacking him when he's learned a new trick.

I think my mother inlaw is over feeing my child (she watches her) between 6.30 and 1.00 she has already eaten 16oz- four, 4 oz bottles. I guess that is about 8oz every 3 hours. Is this too much? I thought they would probably consume about 5 oz at this age. Please help

I'm not sure what to feel about this. Religion is not supposed to be in the public schools and I am happy with that. My daughter recently has a recital in her class and the kids sang a song with the phrase "god is watching us". Is that walking the line?

The same thing happend in Kindergarten. My daughter came home singing something about angels and the lord watching over her because she learned it in class. I knew it was not appropriate and complained about it because I dont raise my children to believe in false hope. Other parents complained about it as well and the teacher was repremanded.

Is it acceptable to have a baby shower each time you have a new baby? Or is the first baby the only time a baby shower is proper? The first child is a happy and healthy baby.

I just recently(7 weeks ago) took a new job at a health club that has an onsite daycare that is primarily there for the members to drop off there kids while they workout, however employees can bring in there kids also. I have 2 boys that I have to bring into daycare 2 times a week and yesturday the person in charge of the daycare informed me that there has been some behavior issues with my oldest boy who is 3 1/2. We talked about it and were are trying to work together to resolve the problem, but now when I drop off the boys I fell very uneasy and worry about him not behaving. It is causing alot of stress. Should I worry so much, or do you think that as long as I show that I am making an effort to correct the naughty behavior things should be fine?

My babysitter is very good with all of my kids. She loves them and takes very good care of them. She says that she really wants to do a good job of filling in for me when I am not around. Just the other day she asked if it would be ok if she slept with my husband while I am not at home so that the kids would feel like mommy is around. I was shocked! How could she ask me a question like this?? I told her no but my aunt told me that I am being selfish and am not looking out for the kids best intrest. She says that letting the babysitter sleep with my husband is a good way for them to bond and it will make the kids feel more at ease and be under less stress when I am not around. Should I let the babysitter sleep with my husband or should I explain to her that I am not comfortable with this suggestion?? Help please

About 50% of the time it's not much of a problem. He doesn't argue about it. But the other 50% you would think he was a 2yr old throwing a fit because he doesn't want to. I've explained many times some of the important reasons of taking a shower ( Good hygiene!). I've also talked about other children teasing him & not wanting to be around him because of his oder from not showering. I'm not sure what else to do.

okay, last night we attended my daughters band/choir performance. Before the choir begin to perform, an eighth grade girl had a solo. Her song of choice was "Santa Baby" She performed in front of about 400 parents and family members, teachers and fellow students. She sang this song wearing a feather boa (black) and used a chair as a prop! I am not kidding or making this up! I was embarresed for her! Do you think this was appropriate, and if you dont do you think the school should of allowed this? or am i just being old fashioned? The audience was left in shock and her fellow students said she looked like she was trying to seduce santa! Granted she sang well, although I was laughing to hard to hear the whole thing. (I was discreet and had to leave the room, along with about 20 other parents!)By the way her mother was video taping and was very proud of her.

We are also extermely careful. that have all came back negative and tells me she is just skipping a month. She told me that she used to every once in a while when she was younger but hasn't in the last 2 yrs or so. Is this a normal occurance for a woman?

I am going on 15 weeks along. EVERYday i am sick. Nausea and vomiting at least once a day. I switched pre-natal vitamins which helped. Nothing else seems to do anything. I tried gingerale, crackers, lemon and other tricks, but they only help for a couple minutes. I heard there are medications, but are they safe? Am I going to feel this way the whole 9 months?
