i am thinking of quitting and only feeding my baby breastmilk once or twice a day. does the milk go sour or is it okay to feed him milk if the last time he was breastfeed was like 8 to 10 hours ago. i give formula in between.

He nitpicks over everything and says mean things when I do/say things he doesn't agree with or if he doesn't like the way i say it. I don't like to talk to him, especially about things that are important to me. I don't like to go to him for advice. If I ever need comfort or a listening ear, I go elsewhere.
How can i better our relationship?

I am approximately 10 weeks along and I feel like death. Does anyone else feel this bad? I can't sleep or eat, I just want to hug my toilet all day. I feel like I am dieing almost every minute of the day. I just guess this time around is taking a bigger toll on my body than the last. My poor wardrobe is more depressed than me! In 10 weeks, I think there's a monster growing in there not a tiny baby! I'll never make it to 40 weeks! Am I alone in this boat or is anyone else with me? I just think I need a good old
fashioned cry. Suppose that will help us??

I've only heard negatives about breastfeeding such as its too hard, its too soar, its a pain to always do etc etc. Is there anything apart from the babies health that might entice me to be more positive about the experience as I would like to give it a go?

I don't get a period on my own without the birth control pill. My doctor told me that as long as I can get a period, I can get pregnant but I honestly don't think I ovulate. My pituitary gland doesn't function on it's own, hence why I need the pill to have a regular monthly cycle. If I were to go to a clinic, what type of test would they give me to determine if I will need fertility drugs in order to get pregnant? Also, would this testing be free or would there be a cost? I have no health insurance as of right now. Any serious input is appreciated, especially from those of you who have had experience with fertility drugs.

Here are my issues:
It's winter and cold as outside.
I'm a sahm and my hubby has the car during the day so the gym is out.
We're still trying to move and our apt. is way wee and I really don't have room to work out inside due to the baby explosion.
My son is going through that "DON'T YOU DARE PUT ME DOWN" phase.

How am I ever supposed to get back into my pre-preg clothes under these conditions? (and yes, I'm watching what I eat and drinking water)

I found a great deal on some formula, but it expires Feb. 1, 2007. Would it hurt my baby if I use it a little after its expiration date? It is the powder formula. Thanks!!

The pressures of today's world are quite different than when I was growing up. I see kids really needing to develop skill sets to become healthy, productive, and law-abiding citizens of this country. More and more they need to be able to learn to think for themselves. We as parents need to give them really good tools in order to be able to do this. They need a) critical thinking skills b)creative problem solving abilities C) effective communication skills, particularly effective listening. In short, the world has become increasingly more competetive. We are short-changing are kids by using simplistic methods of child rearing like spanking. WE are not helping thm be ready for what's to come.
I'm not an advocate of corporal punishment to begin with, but I feel even more strongly about it with today's children.

Kids need to be taught how to think, not what to think.

I'm also a firm believer in the "7 Habits of Highly Effective People", by Stephen Covey
