Little ones are so observant and I was wondering how you explained different races and ethnicity to your toddler when they asked or started to notice different skin tones? What terms did you use, or would you prefer used when explaining it to them. I have often times found that the term "brown" to describe African American skin tones just seems wrong, but then toddlers also have a limited learning ability for terms and understanding.

I had a baby July 3rd of 06, and I love him with all my heart, I also got married when I was 6 months pregnant, I am 18, And I was wondering if it was normal to sometimes think about what it would be like now if we didn't have him, or wonder if my husband and I would get along better if he wasn't here? I can't think of life without my son, but every once in awhile it kind of comes into my mind. And does anyone have any tips on continuing on a romantic relationship even though we've had a baby?

My sons are 6 and 3. My 6 year old has been home schooled until now when we have decided to put him in a private school. He helped us make this decision by saying he wanted to go to school with other kids. Last year he didn't want to go to school with others. My 3 year old has some learning and social problems and I would like to home school him for maybe 3 or 4 years. Will this cause jealousy?

I had a person tell me yesterday that I was a horrible parent for vaccinating my children. She thinks that the government is trying to infect us all with diseases. I don't think all parents that choose not to vaccinate think this way but her comment just blew me away.

She continued to say that I am horrible for the following reasons:
I buy store bought food
I use big bottles
I use binkies
I have a big TV

By the way, I have never met this woman nor have I ever had a conversation with her. Most of the things she said are untrue.
So, I was just wondering how many other horrible parents were out there.

My husband and I are ttc our first and last night I took 2 preggie tests and they both came up with faint positive symbols. Yippiee because I think we did it but I am worried because I have some cramping going on that feels like I am going to start a period. Do you think it could be just my body adjusting or should I call my Dr. Please help, I need advise!

I am 31 weeks pregnant now, and at my last visit with the OB where I was at 29 weeks, they made me drink that sweet concentrate and tested me for diabetes and iron. Well the prenatal vitamins I have been taking are the Flinestones complete which my OB told me to take 1 tablet every day. The day before the test I was told to avoid high sugary foods as well as on the morning before that test. I had no idea I was going to get blood work done for both my glucose and hemoglobin levels. Well it turns out that since the flinestones tablets are very sweet I did not take it on the day before my diabetes test and I ended up taking it the night after I was tested. When I was tested for iron...the levels were showing 108. I believe the normal amounts should be 102 as the lab technician told me. Could it have been 108 because I had not eaten my prenatals that morning or the day before? My dr. told me the levels are borderline and okay now, but I can use a supplement or something cause iron

This will be our first baby. Is there a good website that will walk me through what to expect as each trimester goes by and what kind of changes my body will go through.

Is it common to have heart palpitations in early pregnancy? This has been happening every day to me for four days mostly at night. I'll just be sitting there and suddenly my heart starts pounding. I am going for bloodwork today but I wonder if anyone else has had this happen.

Ever since she got over her bad cold 3 weeks ago shes thrown her daily routine out the window. She used to nap every 3 hours now its anywhere from every 1 1/2 to 6 hours and it takes over an hour to get her down for a nap. When she goes to bed at night she wakes up an hour later seemingly ready to start a new day then wakes again at 5 in the morning for a bottle then goes back to sleep then wakes up at her usual time. She wont eat more than 15 ounces of formula a day (including the 5 am feeding) not matter how hard i try and shes cranky all day long. Shes normally a very good and pleasant baby. Im confused, frustrated, and exhausted please give any advice!!!
