Some background - I'm 13,last month I gave birth to mypremature born twin daughters,one is still at the hospital and the other is with me at home already a week.
She doesn't stop crying.All the time!After I feed her,change her diapers,rock her,do everything,she doesn't sleep,but just cries(my parents help me but I'm the one who does almost everything on my babies).Crying the whole nights and days.When she cries I'm afraid she doesn't breathe.But she doesn't have mulligrubs(the doctor has said that).Is it just her temper or the fact she was born premature(in the 7th month) or the fact I can't breastfeed her because my breasts are not well developed and it's very painful for me?Would the other baby be the same too?
Are there new mothers who would like to write with me and we could help each other with advice?

After 2 years, we finally got a positive test! (5 actually). I go to my doctor to confirm on Monday.
My question is, I know how when you conceive you are already considered two weeks pregnant. So according to my last period, I am 6 1/2 wks pregnant. Now when I look online and it shows you what babies look like @ 6 1/2 wks is that what I would be now, or is the fetus a 4 1/2 wk size?
Does that make sense? I guess I am just way too excited and want to know whats goin on!

My son is 20 months old and has always loved to get a bath. He actually sits in the tub w/his clothes on and pretends to take a bath sometimes.

He went to his dad's house yesterday and this morning he wouldn't even set foot in the bathroom and completley freaked out when i put him in the tub. He didnt want to play and wouldnt even sit down. as soon as we left the bathroom he was fine again.

i dont think anything could have happened yesterday b/c he was only there from 7-7 and i dont see his dad giving him a bath. what do you guys think...should i be concerned?

Gerber made juice treats- soft gummy fruit flavoured things for toddlers...they came in little bags inside a box. I can't find them since very recently, and my daughter loves them. Does anyone know if they have been discontinued?

Thanks!

This is not a Question but more of a survey or poll.
They say and we all know that the only way a baby/infant can communcate is to cry and they cry for everything they need( food,ill,diaper,cold,hot,bored,tired,unconvertable,want to be held,teething) now if non of these was the problem would you as a parent just put them back in the crib or would you try anything to comfort them. Some say to much holding can spoil the child and putting them back in the crib when nothing is wrong will help them learn how to comfort them self. And putting them back will make them feel unloved.


I am 4 weeks away from my due date with my first and if this was the case with me I would do anything in my will power to make my baby happy and healthy. If that means picking him up evertime he crys.


So like I said what would you do as parent(s)?

I know that toxemia, HELLP, and other emergencies are reasons for a ceasarian, but what else?

If my baby's over a certain weight, would that qualify?

I'm only 23 weeks, but I AM curious.

A lot of parents are taking up 2nd courses to invest in the future; Whether its a masteral, doctoral, another degree, or even a first degree, children are being left to raise by others. Are these children coping?

The last 2-3 nights, my 16 month old son has been having fevers. They are pretty mild and he seems normal and active during the day. His appetite for solid food has been poor, but he's also teething the top 2 molars and top canines at once. He's been nursing normal and drinking other fluids. Week before last, he was sick w/ a cold or flu for a couple of days and had a fever w/ that too. He's not acting sick and seems to have no other symptoms, though he is fussy at night when the fevers come on. Sound familiar to anyone?

I am planning to take him to a doc, but I was hoping to get more information before the appt.

TIA

I just want to know if I'm the only one who has done this. My grandmother's 75th birthday was Friday. Our whole family got together to have her a suprise party. Well, I had to work all weekend so I allowed my mother to take my children. This is the first time my grandmother has seen my youngest, who is nearly two years old. I trust my mom with my children, even if she can be a pain in the butt sometimes. What would you have done in this situation?

hey, i'm not really sure whats going on. I am now 2 weeks late, i've gone 3 tests at home and they have all come back negative! i am never normally this late. I keep getting stomach pains in my right side and across the middle... this is not like a period cramping either! Do you think i could actually be pregnant and something could be wrong? maybe thats why it isn't showing up on the test! Anyway my boobs have gone really tender and have been killing me over the past week

I read comments on here everyday blaming the parents, society, media, etc. Do we really know where teen parenting stems from though? One teen may be allowed to do as they please while another teen has to follow very strict rules. Another teen may have open and honest parents while another may have parents that won't even get into the whole "birds and the bees," talk. Does it depend on each individual and their circumstances or is there one specif sorce to blame?

I have a 7-month baby girl who used to sleep beautifully at night. Lately, however, she will go to sleep around 7 or 8 and wake back up at 11 thinking it is time to play! She's been crawling for a while and just a week ago learned how to pull herself up into a standing position...so she does this in her crib (or in our bed!). I try to pat her and make her go to sleep, but she just tries to turn it into a game. I'll give her a bottle as a last resort and she will sleep for another couple of hours, and then wake up again thinking it is time for her to play! She doesn't cry when she wakes up...she simply romps around. What am I supposed to do!? I am getting really frustrated and I don't like being frustrated with my daughter. What can I do to help this situation?
