Kept screaming and crying. I touched on his ears and he screamed so I thought he had an ear infection. He wouldn't eat or stop crying so I took him to the ER. They said he just had a virus and gave him tylenol. I didn't believe that so I took him to his doctor's the next day. They said he just had a virus but gave him antibiotics because of the high fever(103.7 and 104). Friday morning his ear swole. I took him to Johns Hopkins and they immediately said it was an ear infection and the fluid had went into his ear and drained into his bones. It could have gotten into his brain and caused damage. Everyone keeps saying I need to complain or try to sue because the other hospital and doctor should have seen the ear infection. Not to mention kids can go into seizures from that. But I thought since nothing bad really did happen then I can not sue? Am I right?

My baby only feeds for about 5 minutes before stopping. she has never had 'long feeds'. the longest EVER was about 15 minutes.
she currently weighs just over 4kg (haven't weighed her lately as been too tired to go out and she has been too unsettled to take out). I have tried to give bottle but then it takes 40 minutes to try and get just 60ml into her. (She won't take large feeds from bottle either despite having given her a fast flow teat and trying various types of teats). How can i get her to eat longer at breast or take more from bottle (other day her total bottle intake was only 400ml). anyone had ways of getting them to spend longer at breast which is my preference but i will bottle feed if i must.
thanks

My son is 3 months old and he sleeps so much right now. Is this normal? He slept from about midnight last night until seven this morning, woke only to eat and then fell back asleep until noon today. He fell back asleep until at one, woke back up at one thirty, and then fell back asleep for a couple of hours. It's been like this for several days now. I think it started when the doctor told us to put ceral in his formula to combat reflux. My husband says that he is just growing and to let him sleep. I know this seems like a crazy worry, espescially since he was colicky, and that I should be glad he's sleeping at all... I'm just curious if this is normal.

All of these people who say "well if SHE can spread her legs then SHE should be responsible for her own actions!!" and "there is no excuse for unwanted pregancies because of all of the protection that is available" blah..blah..blah!!! What about the boys who are also responsible for impreganting teenage girls, where do they take responsibility? What about abused women or girls who are raped or taken against their will??? I feel that if you are SO AGAINST abortion, then YOU NEED TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE. Provide a loving home, warm nutritious food and good clothing for all of these women and girls who feel that they have no other choice but to terminate their pregancies. Then after the birth of the child, raise it, care for it, and love it. Until these things take place....quit your preaching and figure out a way to be part of a solution if abortion is such a problem!!!!!

My nephew will have his first birthday next week and has no teeth yet. He walks, babbles, plays, but no teeth. His parents keep the pacifier in his mouth as much as possible but I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it (probably not). His mom is also insistant that he stay on #2 baby food jars.

This is coming from someone who has neither had children or really been around them, so I'm just curious.

It seems like most people refer to young children's ages in months, rather than years, calling them an 18 month old or a 22 month old, for example.

I understand the need to differentiate between, say, a 13 month old and a 20 month old, because of the vast amount of mental and physical development that would occur during that time period. But, I've known people to carry it out quite a bit further than that, and refer to their children as 40 month olds. To me, figuring out how old a 40 month old would be is like trying to figure out military time. (Although I suppose to someone used to military time, it would be easy. Am I just an outsider?)

Wouldn't it be just as logical to say that your child is two and a half, rather than 30 months? I wouldn't say I'd worked at a job for 30 months, I'd say I'd been there two and a half years. It just seems less awkward.

Insight?

I had a baby 7 months ago via C-section because my son's head was "sunny-side up". Doc said it is very possible I can have a VBAC next time if I wait at least 1 year between pregnancies. But I worry because my hubby has a big head (as does my son), and I wonder if our next baby will also have a big head and if that will affect my chances. I would love to have a vaginal birth- the c-section was a painful recovery.

i have been with my boyfriend for almost 6 years now. For the past year he has been talking so much stuff about me to his mother. He is a momas boy all of a sudden. Mind you that when we first got toghter his mother hated him. did not care if he had food to eat or anything.
Ever sense i had my daughter they got close.
well anyways he calls her when i am not home and he always seems to talk about me and i am about to have our third child and i am so damn sick of it. I really dont like his mother becuase she will only do things for my daugher and not my son, and she claims she likes me and talks crap about me .has anyone else gone through this problem?
