Pregnancy & Parenting - 2 December 2006

I had a breast reduction awhile ago and was told by the DR that it may be a possibility that I wouldn't be able to nurse because of some possible damage to the milk ducts resulting from the operation. I was wondering if anyone else had 1 and if so, did your breast leak colostrum in your pregnancy (I am 6 months and havent noticed any leaking yet) and were you able to nurse your baby successfully?

My son is 2 years old and loves his crib. He does not climb out, and he still fits. When should we transition him to a regular bed? We bought a toddler bed a while back, but if he stays in his crib long enough he may go right to a twin size. When did you do it and how?? Advice Please!

Also, he snuggles up on top of his pillow on one end of the crib (against the side rails) every time he goes to sleep. How can I break him of this habit? He will no doubt fall out of a real bed if he does this! The toddler bed has no side rails because it is one of those race car ones.

"because it is such a terrible world" do they really mean that or is it just an excuse, because they don´t want to say the real reason???

I bought it at walmart. It has a little white lamb's head on the corner. On one side of the square blankey is all fleece yellow, on the other side it spells out LAMB in block letters. It got lost a little while ago and I've been searching to replace it. No luck yet...unless someone out there in "yahoo world" can help. Thanks, mydilts

How common is it for females to be more than a week late for their period? I'm worried that my girlfriend may be pregnant even though we have never had anything more than oral sex. I have orgasmed before while near her vagina but not inside. Is it still possible for her to get pregnant from that?

Pregnant & bad belly pains?
I am 23 weeks pregnant, i*ve always had pains on my sides "the round ligament" pains throughout my whole pregnancy, But the past couple nights i keep waking up withh really bad pains in the middle and lower belly, not the same pains as the round ligaments. they usually go away but i had them for a whhole 24 hours yesterday then they went away and i had them for about 4 hours again and then just went away, but it keeps coming back if i sit wrong or when i walk. its worst when i walk.. Today i felt like i was going to pass out and get sick, i didnt even want to move, or if i could even move. could these be signs of early contractions, premature birth.. or what?!? i really dont want to go to the ER and sit there for 6 hours for them to tell me there is nothing wrong,

I'm interested in working with babies, but I don't know if I could deal with working in ICU because I would hate to see all those poor babies in such horrible conditions.

Can you damage anything? (Besides getting hemmoroids) Im talking more about the baby.I know you are using the same muscles or something as you would to push the baby out.

what can I do to get him to use the toilet. He doesnt take his diaper off to go to the bathroom I usually have to help him with that then he just sits there on the toilet and after about a minute he takes a piece of toilet paper and wipes and then throws it in the toilet and flushes then runs out of the bathroom. Am I doing this right, ( I am a single mom with a fiancee that just moved in) His dad does watch him but still treats him like hes 6 months old. Please help me.

Hello, My 3 month old daughter has been:
- drooling like crazy!
- sucking on her lips, toys, fingers-everything!
- she's been a little moody lately and she's also had a slight decrease in appitite, but that has picked up.

I'm curious if you think she may be teething, though her gums don't seem swollen to me, she seems to have all the "symptoms" My doctor says she's a little young for it, however I know it's not impossible for a 3 month old to start teething. What do you think? and then other than baby orajel and teething rings what can I do to help her through this?
