Pregnancy & Parenting - 5 December 2006

I'm due in May and I have SO many questions. This is number two, but baby number one is four now and well, I've forgotten alot about the infant months! When can you introduce juice to a baby (about how many months)? What about solid foods (Bottled baby food and rice)? I remember my son had some trouble with getting full with my breast milk and I started to mix a little rice with breast milk in a bottle- But I don't remember at what point I did this. Also, when do babies typically start to sleep pretty well at night (at least a good 5 hours straight) I'll be returning to work after two months and I wonder if I'll be able to function at my job! lol Also, I'm planning on breast feeding- Did anyone pump while at work and store the bottles in the fridge nurse while at home with baby but use the stored bottles for while baby was at daycare? I'm curious as to how this will work. Once I started back to work after my first, I couldn't pump and my milk stopped.

I have 13 weeks left and I'm so so so scared. What if I can't do it? The epidural itself looks like enough to kill you...can someone comfort me at all?

Im looking for real advice from real Mothers here. I do not have the space in my current apartment for the crib/dresser/changing table etc.

I need to know as a Mother, what were the things you could not get by without. Looking back, what did you use the most and were most appreciative of when caring for your newborn baby?

After 5 months my husband and I will be moving to a new apartment that has 2 bedrooms and will be able to get the non-necessary items.

I appreciate your help so much as we are just starting to look at what to buy for our May Due date.

Does anybody know anything about income guidelines in Kansas for SRS to provide childcare assistance? According to their guidelines we would be making too much by about 200 a month, but we would be needing daycare for an infant and 3 year old. I know it says "case by case" but how true is that? It just seems to me that there's a big difference in a family of 4 with 2 school age children than one with much younger kids whose daycare is so much more. I just was wanting to know what to expect from anybody who's "been there and done that." Please be nice! Thank you!

My baby was born early and when they were doing the exam, the found that instead of having the normal two lines crossing his palm, he only had one. They did a chromosome test and it came back fine, but I was wondering if anyone else had a baby that had this and if the children had problems developmentally as they got older.

The unborn:
Life or Tissue?

The Criteria of life
A. Metabolism - Biochemical reactions that occur within an organism
B. Growth- The irreversible increase in size of volume
*growth requires energy. It cannot occur without metabolism
C. Reproduction- the production of offspring
D. Movement- may be rapid or very slow; noticeable or subtle.
* includes movement within cells
E. Response to external stimuli- reacting to some outside force
F. Adaptation- refers to the activity of a population rather than the individual

Does a fetus fit the criteria of life?

~Keep in mind that a fetus is a part of the reproductive cycle... if we discount life on that fact we would have to deny that children before puberty and infertile people are alive.~

Previously-a couple of months ago, I purchased some items from ebay. And I would pay by using my bank account to transfer over to my PayPal, and it would pay the seller instanly. But now however, I've noticed that when I pay for something, It would take several days to clear the money from my bank account, to my paypal, then to the seller. What's the deal? And how can I speed up the process of just paying instantly and not having to wait for my payments to clear?
