My husband is sterile and I am forced to use a sperm donor. Should I use different people for my next babies or stick with the same donor. I am caucasian and would enjoy many multiracial children. The first donor is asian. My husband is Somoan.

me and my husband had our first baby 6 months ago, she's beautiful and we love her dearly. but we've talked alot about it and we want more children, but how soon is too soon to start on the second one? I don't want my children more then two years apart. i figure the closer together the better, i come from a big family and we where all pretty close and still are. my husband doesn't seem to mind either way, he's ready to "get it on" right now *lol* i think he just likes making them. but truthfully, how soon is too soon?

My husband and I do not feel comfortable letting her out past 11:00pm to begin with and also with all the drunk driving that goes on, we feel she would be safer at home with the family.

I really don't know whether I should or not, I found out with my daughter. One part of me says I shouldn't, as it will be more exciting and something to look forward to, but also I am thinking I want to redecorate the kids room if it is a boy and buy clothes and things.
What do you think?

I want to have my tenth month old completely weaned by the time he turns a year old. (or around then) My first son weaned himself at 6 months - I had planned to go the year but he obviously had other plans :) I have been trying to cut back already but not having a lot of luck because he WILL NOT take formula and since he is also on solids he isn't going to get hungry and take the formula anyway. He will drink milk but is not suppose to be strictly on milk until at least 11 mths (according to my pediatrician). Anyway I have never had to wean before and since we are quickly approaching the 11 months I am wondering how to do this? He is only feeding once in the morning, 1 before his nap, once after his nap, and then again before bed. Do I cut one at a time? Or all of them? And how long do you wait before you cut out another? Do I just let myself get engorged? I know it is fine to breastfeed after a year and I don't have any problem with people that do. But this is something that I am just personally not comfortable with. He has 4 teeth and is cutting the fifth so I am already doing ALOT of gritting of my teeth from him scraping so much. Are there any good sites with this kind of info??

She wakes up intermittently i the middle of the night (not for consecutive nights) and we have tried the Tracy Hogg pick up put down method - unsuccessfully). Looking for anyone else experiencing this problem with any and I mean ANY kind of solutions.

She has an older cousin 11yrs old who spilled the beans, now my daughter is confussed and upset that her cousin would even suggest that Santa is NOT real!

When she confronted me, I diverted the question by asking a question. I asked "Do you think Santa is real?" She said "Of Course, DAD!" I left it at that.

My problem is, because we are much poorer this year (we live in Michigan!) there will be half the presents she is used to getting. I know she will feel as if she was bad this year, and that Santa is punishing her. So I ask, how do I break the news to her?

I went to dinner with a friend who has no children. I got really upset with my kids cuz they were crawling all over the place. She tried to butt in and give unwanted advice about how to control them. She knows cuz she saw super nanny and her aunt has 3 wonderful boys. So now she is implying that i'm not a good mother. I told her that I'm tire of people who have no kids telling mothers how to raise theirs. I guess she got offended. Bottom line: friendship is over...my annoyance with my kids reminded her of her own mother which raised her concern. What do you think?

My wife is 3 months pregnant and Doctor says she's normal with pregnancy, So please let me know the following:

1. Can I ejaculate inside her, will my sperm cause any difficulty ?

2. Can I give her orgasms or is it safe for her to achieve orgasms ?

3. Can I engage with her with oral sex. Is the vaginal fluid safe for me and my sperm safe for her ?

Please enlighten me with the above..

Mystified?!?!?!?!?
OK.. I was suppose to start AF last saturday never did. Took a HPT Sunday Faint positve.... Took another one Monday, Big Bold Positive!! Later Monday evening had some light spotting.. Made an Appt. with my Dr. Tuesday, continued to spot but nothing, I mean nothing like a regular period! Took a urine test Negative! Took a blood test Negative! But I would have only been 4 weeks and 3days, IF I was pregnant was it to soon to test?! The HPT I took at home were Clear Blue Easy and Fact Plus! I only "spotted" for 3 days, no cramping or anything, just barely enough to use a pad, Sorry TMI*, but I'm just baffled,I've read other people's Blogs on here who went to the Dr. Got 2 negatives and still pregnant?! IT happened to my mom when she was pregnant with my brother they told her she wasn't and she knew she was, the test didn't reveal until she was 7mos. along! So I don't wanna get my hopes up or anything?! So my ? is, has this happened to anyone? Thanks in advance ! And Happy Holidays!

my question got removed for some stupid reason...but my point was this.....does anyone have experience with a female who cares more about getting you back than caring for her child?? Examples: nags about money, yet goes out drinking and partying half of the week-sometimes all night and morning....also refuses to take a paternity test....experiences, advice?? from fathers or women with bfs/husbands in this situation...

My Lamaze instructor said that even when I am not breast feeding that I should pump milk and store it in the freezer. How many times should I pump breast milk a day? Are the bags that preserve the breast milk safe (the Medela brand)? Do they lock out odors from the freezers or would you suggest I get a mini fridge instead? What are the breast milk pads for? Is it to preven leakage?
