Pregnancy & Parenting - 3 January 2007

Do you agree or disagree with this practice? Has it worked for you? I'm preparing myself to start it as my 7mo baby will not fall asleep on his own & i'm tired of going to bed with him for half an hour or so every time he needs a sleep. I also did this with my other 2 children & i'm over it big time. Please help me. I'm a single parent sowill have to do it on my own.

What do the following names mean?:
- Aldrin
- Lee-Anne (I know it's a double-barrell name so it's kinda a difficult to find one meaning)

Please help!!

1 week before xmas I found £60 missing from my purse...It was def stolen in my home and could only have been one of my 5 children...I talked to them all and concluded that it could only have been the eldest two 15 and 17. the 15 year old had been caught stealing 1 year ago and had been gruonded for 1 month and promised me he had learnt his lesson. he was distraught when I accussed him and I dont feel like he was acting!!!the 17 year old just said it wasn't her and never mentioned it again. I have no prove so there is nothing I can do but I feel so betrayed I let it go because I didnt want to ruin xmas but I feel like I have let whoever done it away with it and want some answers. My gut is telling me it was my 17 year old she needed the money more she has a busy social life now and only gets £40 a week for her part ime job. But my son has stole before. Any advice. should I just let it go and be more careful with my money or try get the truth.

I have an 19month daughter who throws the biggest tantrums when she doesnt get her own way. This isn't really the big problem. The problem is that she will hit her 4yr old brother or anyone else close to her including me and daddy. Any ideas on how to stop her doing this. She also likes to scratch and pinch. If you have any good advice on how to stop her then please tell me.

My 7mo baby boy is not able to go to sleep on his own as he is used to being breastfed to sleep. I also did the same with my other 2 children. However i am just not up to having to go to bed with my baby everytime he needs to go to sleep & its having a negative effect on me. I am a single mum & would like some opinions on this subject before i go ahead.

I'm not sure if it's even possible I'm pregnant. Yes, I had unprotected sex one time. I understand that's all it takes.
But it's been about 3-5 weeks [I'm sorry. I didn't memorize when I did the deed]
I had my period.. or what I thought was my period.. about a week ago.
Someone told me that even though you have your period doesn't mean you can't be pregnant.

Another thing that's just confusing me is this:
If my periods are normally 7 or 8 days each, and this last period I had only lasted for 3 or maybe 4 days, is it possibly that I'm pregnant and that was spotting?

I was having fun at a New Year's party and sang it's a small world in a high pitch voice by using Helium. The last 3 days I've been getting/feeling sick. I thought I possibly got Helium poisoning and it screwed up my system a lot .. is it possible that I'm wrong and that that's morning sickness?

I'm getting a pregnancy test tomorrow, but I thought my period arrived and pregnancy was for sure not there.
Help?

I want to try a recipe and she eats with us but was unsure if she could eat those soft cheeses at this age. (I know you need to be careful with them eating certain cheeses when they are weaning but unsure when this stops!)
