Pregnancy & Parenting - 20 January 2007

She has only eaten 6 oz today (opposed to a normal 18-20 oz). She doesn't seem to be sick, but she is starting to get dehydrated. My doctor doesn't have a weekend calling service, so I can't call. I am not as worried about her nutrition as I am about the lack of fluids. She is almost 6 months old. Any ideas on what is wrong or how to help her? She doesn't have a fever and she doesn't seem to be sick, but she cries every time I try to feed her. I have dumped the first bottle and filled it up again thinking maybe something was wrong with the milk, but that didn't help. Just to let you know what I've done. Help! :)

I have been on the depo shot for about 2 years, when recently my doctor took me off and put me on the pill. I was getting nausious on this pill and could not take it anymore. I stopped and did not get on another pill because I was dropped from my insurance. I got a new job and my insurance doesn't start until March.

Anyway I had my first period in about 2 years on Jan 5th and it lasted through about the 9th or so. I had sex (kind of) on the 13th...but he didnt put a condom on and he never finished because we didnt have any. I just started bleeding again on Thursday the 18th. I thought it was just spotting at first but it got heavier and there have been more clots than usual. I'm still bleeding as of right now (Saturday the 20th). I've read some things on here about people who have had 2 periods in 1 month and ended up being pregnant. Should I be worried? When should I take a home test...I don't want to take it too early and have it show up negative and really be pregnant.

If you are fat and you feed your kids so much that they become dangerously obese, is it child neglect?

when the young of animals are weaned they no longer drink milk but eat solid food all the time yet when the young of humans are weaned they continue (in most cases) to drink milk for the rest of their lives ,do the humans need the milk to supplement their diet or is it just a habit to drink the milk?

Last AF was Dec. 6/07....no AF but a VERY tiny amount of spotting (barely noticable) for the last 4 days, now it's gone. Tested yesterday and it was BFN.

How long after spotting/implantation bleeding should I be able to get + results?

I didn't think I would ever want a baby when I was younger. I am almost 30 now and my boyfriend really wants a baby. He loves kids and will make a wonderful dad. I would like to have a baby but am scared of pain at childbirth, and that something will happen to my kid or that I will not be good enough as a mother. I know it is all worth it in the end. Given a choice I think I would rather have one than not. Is there anything that you can tell me that will help me out a little? Please do not condemn me for feeling this way.

My 2 year old always puts his hands down my shirt into my bra for comfort. My older son did this when he was the same age. It's a bit irritating and I'm curious why he does it.

I was just wondering how long people used the Dr. Browns bottle for? Did you continue to use them after the baby was able to burp on their own? Did you use them up until the baby stopped using a bottle? Thanks!

I am the mother of twin daughters, aged 9. Recently they have started bully like behavior in and out of school which is easy since there are the both of them.
I have tried taking things away, and the like, but they are not working.
This last Friday, the school they attend, called and put them on a temporary suspension for fighting. I was very angry, and told my daughters that they were grounded, and I would let them know what thier punishment would be soon.
However I cant think of anything that might work, and Im not to keen on the whole spanking thing; or is that the way to go. Anyone with anything helpful.
