They say she's supposed to eat every 2 to 3 hrs and she used to. I'm breast feeding. now she feeds every hour to an hour and a half. could this mean she's not getting enough? if so how can I increase how much milk I produce for her?

I'm nursing my newborn. My grandmother told me to be sure to dry up my milk when I finish nursing him, or else it will go to my legs? What does she mean by this?

Okay...I'm like in this really crappy school and like 3 or 4 months ago, i had moved frm germany where like ALL my friends are. Aight, I only got like 4 more months in school cuz i'm a senior. Anyways, I only kno like 20 or 30 ppl in the school i'm in now, but i only remember like 8 ppl's names! (yes i kno, pathetic, but there's 1700 kids in the damn school and in my last school there was like 200 kids...can ya blame me????) anyway, the ppl i DO happen to remember the names of, for some reason i'm gettin a lil close to them. And one of them, i'm startin to have a few feelings for him (ya get my drift?)

ok I kno that the answer may be a lil obvious...but where do you think I should graduate at? Here..in this crappy-@ss school where i'm really startin to like someone here...or in my last school in germany where most of my friends are...which by the way the school was also a lil crappy?


And for those who are wondering...yes, it is possible for me to go bac to germany.

FIRST OFF... I AM NOT BELITTLING IT!! PLEASE FORGIVE ME IF THIS DOESNT COME OUT RIGHT!!! Ok, with that said. I was wondering what do stay at home moms do? what type of routine or schedule do you follow with a 1 yr old? Do you do play groups? Do you have a support group? What type of learning activities or playtime things do you do with your kid(s)?

I am a stay at home mom, but I think I am NOT living up to the standards. I don't seem to enjoy it, I'm not happy. I feel trapt. I am not a "betty home maker type". I hate cleaning. I think I feel this way because I am stuck at home, not accomplishing anything.

My day consist of waking up when ever my son wakes me up, feeding him, changing him, doing MINOR (I DO MEAN MINOR) house cleaning, some laundry, and dinner.

Is there any thing that may help me get out of this rut? What should I be doing? what suggestions do you have?

PLEASE, PLEASE Don't be mean!

I am really worried. I'm in my 9th week. EARLY, yes I know. But In my 6th week I had dreams of not being able to breastfeed. It upset me. Because I want to bond with my child, in that way. I know that is not the only way to bond. But I heard it's a great experience not to mention great for the babys health. My mother told me a week later after that dream. She couldn't breastfeed any of her children, complications. She doesn't know why. Or she won't tell me. In your opinon do you think I will be able to breastfeed?? Thank you.

My daughter is almost 13 months old and has been a voracious eater since we started table foods with vegetables and fruit being her favorite things. She often eats more than I would expect but for the last 2 weeks she seems to have lost her appetite for food and has upped her nursing sessions to every couple of hours. I was hoping to start cutting back on her nursing. Is this normal? Should I just let her nurse on demand? I also recently started trying to add some whole milk to her diet and so far she has totally refused it. I am a little concerned because she is anemic and has lost a pound in the last month. She went from 19.05 pounds to 18.04 pounds. Her Pediatrician just said I need to up the iron rich foods or start her on a vitamin for the iron. Anybody else have a baby that was eating great and then just stopped for no real reason? She had a check up last week and nothing else was amiss. Thanks for your help!

I had big-time nausea from week 6 but the nausea seemed to have subsided to the last 3 days (now in my 8th week). I had a miscarriage in July last year at 7.5 weeks so am a nervous wreck now. To add to my paranoia, I read that nausea would be at its peak at 8-9 weeks! Anyone had similar experience?

okay, so there's almost no way i can't be pregnant... but i haven't taken my ept yet. the only reason i have for even slightly doubting it is that two days ago i was throwing up so badly that i stayed in bed ALL day and ALL night. but now, miraculously, i'm completely okay.... beside the fact that i have mood swings like i've never had before (i've always been the one to brag that i don't have mood swings, and i found myself crying over nothing last night)... are these normal signs of being pregnant? i'm not trying to concieve at all, i'm only 18... but if i am it's okay... i'd just like to know before i take the test. THANK YOU!!!

Dear Mommy, From Baby

I know you think you didn't love me
I understand... you had to believe
That awful day ... you threw me away
Or perhaps you would have let me stay
But look deep inside... so you will see
The love you've always felt for me
I know you think I don't love you
I couldn't... you think... but I do
Just as you have always loved me
I have always love you, too
Jesus taught me what love could mean
Mommy... Learn... and on Jesus lean

If you used a condom for a minute and it had spermicide. Will the spermicide stay in there if you have unprotected sex after just taking it off?
