I have a new baby boy who is almost 4 months old. He has slept in a bassinet in my room every night since he has been born, but here lately I have been wondering when the right time to put him in his own room would be. Any suggestions?

I breast feed and give my son formula and it seem like he's still hungry, durning the day I breast feed and 1 bottle when we go out and when it's bedtime I give him 4 to 5 oz of "Similac Advance Formula" and he sleeps for about three hours then wake up crying because he's hungry. So I get him up give Caleb the bottle and after he's finish with that he makes his hunger noise (which I think is so cute) and then I have to breast feed. My baby then is stuffed, want to laugh for about 15 mins, burp a couple of times then he is out again.
I talked with my step-mom and she suggested that I give him "Rice Cereal" (teaspoon full) in his formula at night and he will sleep through out the night. Now you all know how our parents are old school, so that's why I reach out to you all for your advice.

my ex moved to NY, and we haven't talked for a month. I tried to contact him a few times, but he was avoiding me at that time. Do I HAVE TO tell him that i'm having a baby?

If I don't and he finds out about a baby later, what would happen to me?? i know he can't support the baby financially.

I have battled with depression for several years now. I was previously on remeron prior to pregnancy and immediately stopped upon learning of my pregnancy. I am now 25 weeks. I have struggled with my depression every day, every moment, of this pregnancy. I think I have reached a breaking point. I do not get out of bed unless I have to and I am constantly sad (more like devastated). My depression has NEVER been this bad! I am seriously considering talking to my OB about taking anti-depressants. The only thing is that I am terrified of the risks to the baby. I would not forgive myself if I was not able to "tough it out" and the meds had some effect on the baby. I would like to know any of your personal experiences of pregnancy and anti-depressants and how your children were affected. What are considered the lowest risk anti-depressants during pregnancy? I would like as much information as I can before I speak to my doctor.

If the Father refused to sign the acknowledgment of paternity can he later come back and demand a paternity test so he may get full/partial custody? I dont beleive since he is not on the birth certificate that he does not have legal rights at all.

Please dont get me wrong, I dont want to keep my child from his father. I just dont beleive he is mentally stable to be around us and I can support my son on my own. I am not after money, I just want him out of my life. With him it is not about his Son, it is about a fight for control and he is constantly threatning me. I just think he should seek mental help befor trying to be in our lives. He is just a dirty fighting vile man and I want to know how far he can take it if I dont file for child support.

I had a miscarriage on Nov 10th, and I was really REALLY early, I was only getting faint positives on early detection urine test. (I did not get a D & C) Went back to the Dr after everything was over with and he told me I am okay but he would like me to wait a month. Me and my husband used protection for that month and didn't think about not getting my period yet around Dec 10th. Well around probably the 12th of Dec we had unprotected sex and did since b/c when I was keeping up with it I always ovulated toward the middle of my cycle. But I am pregnant, and doing really good so far. But do you think I got preg while we was trying to be cautious because my period would have been already late even after we didn't you protection????? Also, anyone else ever got preg the next month after a miscarriage and had a great pregnancy??? Thanks for your time!!!

When you rate an answer here with a thumbs down, do you do it becuase you think is incorrect-counterproducing-not informative-not related to the question, or simply because you disagree with the answerer? Gimme a break! (and i mean the questions about human affairs and stuff that don't have a "true" wel defined answer)

Hi my friends were talking in school today about having a baby shower for one of our friends who just got pregnant. Since we all support equal rights for men and women we want to invite the baby's father and any of the boys we know. I know my boyfriend Jamie who is a friend of the 14 year old father would love to come and participate. A few of the girls said that the parents might object. Why would they? Oh her parents decided not to make her a nun because they don't think she could get with the program. The baby's father says he loves her and wants to be part of her life and the child's life. Her parents told her that she cn still see him as long as she promises never never again until she turns 18. Also she wants her boy to have visitation on the baby on weekends (the baby would stay with his parents and during the week her parents would have the baby.) Anyway what do all of you think about a baby shower for her it would make her feel better.

The same thing happens every year at Christmas in our house. Lots of new toys and the old ones are still everywere. I have three kids 19mnth boy, 3yr girl, and 8yr girl. What do you other moms do with all the toys. We have Bratz, Pollies, Barbies, craft stuff, coloring books, ect. How do you organize it all? And keep the babies out of the big kid stuff and the baby stuff from taking over the house? The girls share a room and the baby is in our room until we finish renovating our basement, could be another year until that is done.
