Just wondering, what do you find is the best way to clean those soft cloth baby toys that have crinkles or noise makers inside, so you can't put them in the washing machine?

Do any Moms have suggestions on how to find private babysitters during work hours? My mother keeps my son right now, but will be going on vacation the end of February and I need to find a reliable trustworthy person to keep my 3 year old while my husband and I are at work. Someone who can do it that week and who will be available if my Mom is not.

My eight month old used to drink 7oz four times a day.
Lately its been extremly difficult to maker her drink 5-6 oz 3 times.
She even does not seem to eat more solids just 2 small jars ( gerber veggies and fruits ) a day and some baby cereal once in the morning.
Is she being underfed and what more food can I introduce at this stage.
Thanks

128lbs at 31 weeks, 134lbs by 33 weeks, and now I weigh 140 at 34 weeks. Seems like every week this month I have gained 3-4 lbs. But this week I have gained a big 6 lbs! My doctor has advised me not to eat junk food and I have not ate anything unhealthy. I have ate nothing but fruits and veggies, fish, and nothing processed or frozen. I drink only water. I snack on fruits and veggies! My doctor is going to yell at me :( o and I have been very active. People say I have a small belly and I am not fat to begin with I weighed 115lbs. During the first trimester I did not gain any weight. ZERO. Second trimester I gained about a pound a week. Does anyone know why I am gaining so much so fast???

My baby is quite sick with a cold...a lot of nasal congestion and now some coughing, bit of a fever too. The Advil package says for babies 0-3 months to consult a physician but it is Boxing Day and there are no physicians available. Can I give the baby advil? Let me know what you think please.

My mother-in-law thinks that I am trying to keep my daughter from her, which I am not I am a stay at home mom and she knows(my husband and I have told her many times) that she can come over to our house anytime she wants to. Last night she decided to go off on me about it and said that she would take me to court and get full custody of my daughter or at least have every weekend with her. Here is my question can she do that? She also has a record (1992-Battery(twice), 1992 Criminal Sex abuse(had sex with a 14yr olds) She was found guilty off all three charges. She used to be a daycare worker but after the criminal sex abuse charge she lost her license and can't work with kids at all anymore. So would the courts grant her custody or every weekend visitations? I don't like leaving my daughter alone with her.

I have a 3 bedroom home and can't afford to add on right now. I have a 2 year old a 6 year old and a 4 year old. They are all girls. My 4 and 6 year old sleep in the same room. Last night, my 4 year old got up and told me she wanted her own room. She told me she didn't want to share with her sister any more because her sister laughs at her, punches her and pushes her. I got on to the 6 year old and talked to her about her behavior, but still my 4 year old wants her room back (we put the baby in there when the baby was 5 months old. The 4 year old agreed to it then.) I'm afraid to put the baby in with the 6 year old because of the older toys. What do you think?

My baby was 3 weeks old last sunday, he eats every 1-3 hours and when he is finished he falls asleep most of the time. My biggest concern is his weight gain. Dr says thats it's slow and i should take him in once a week to make sure he is still gaining good. i really dont want to suppliment with formula if i dont have too.
I am pumping after each feeding to make sure my breasts are empty. he lost 10oz in the hospital and was only back up to birth weight last friday's check up.
