Pregnancy & Parenting - 28 January 2007

Unfortunately due to medical reasons, our 14 month old son has gotten used to coming to our bed during the night (he has a sleep apnea and we had to constantly watch him to ensure that he was breathing). Now that we have received help for the apnea, we are ready to have him sleep in his own bed. The problem is...I hate to hear him cry. Any suggestions on a better way to encourage him to go to sleep on his own in his bed other than the cry it out method?

My 2 1/2 daughter has a allergy to all of the red dyes, and I am finding it difficult to find "snacks" that my other kids eat without red dye in it. I don't want to bring anything in the house that can hurt my daughter, but also find it unfair to not have some of the foods my sons like and used to eat..Help!!!

**Snacks~ Little Debbies, Gummies(including Vitemens), Popcicles, Anything that is supposed to be fruit flavored (many cereals), snack crackers, And lots more things you wouldn't even think of, It's crazy!

Ok I have mine every mid late month 15th-20th can come anytime then. I take birth control the pill religiously and have for a year now. Period still comes on time. I take certain medications for bipolar disorder the past 7 months period still comes right on time every month. I took a pregnancy test today it was negative. I am a week late just about. And it is driving me nuts. Only one partner my husband. I have had 3 prior children the last one a year and almost a half ago. I dont mind being pregnant but could it still be that and just too early or something more serious. Thanks for any help.

living room? This means she could only play in her room... (almost the whole house has carpet, except the kitchen, her room and the bathroom)

But she's in the age when she wants to crawl and explore...

I read all kinds of bad things about carpets... Should I be concerned? What can I do?
Thanks!

She pulls herself to a stand , after a while she looses her balance, and falls... and I'm affraid she'll hurt herself. Now it's not that bad cause I can catch her and she just gets scared... but I just wish her own room would be safer for her ...
I wanted to put carpet over the tile floor, but I just read a lot about the harmful chemicals in new carpet... If I buy an area rug she'll chew on the cornes! (she already did with some small rug we used to have in the living room...)
So... What should I do? Leave the floor as it is, and just be one inch behind her everytime she pulls herself to a stand?...

I NEED SOME ADVICE, PLEASE!

Thank you!

Ok my mom died when I was 8 years old (I am 15 now) and I just had some new neighbors move in just over a year ago. And at first I wanted nothing to do with their parents becasue thats just what I've been like since my mom died. But as I go over their and "hang out" I find myself wanting their mom to be in the same room as us and to talk to us and play games like "truth or dare" and "would you rather" with us. And then if the two girls that I'm "hanging out" with get yelled at by there mom I feel like I want to get into trouble too. It's really weird. I also find myself feeling jealous when she goes and sits next to one of her daughters. Another thing, sometimes I feel like I just want to sit down with her and just talk with just me and her. I'm not sure whats going on, can someone help me? AND what shoud I do about this?

I cannot find any homeschooling groups in my area or surrounding areas that are not religious. I want to homeschool but not for any religious reasons. Are there people who homeschool without using religion as a teaching base or am I out of luck finding a group that meets mine and my childs needs. Any websites out their that other homeschoolers are aware of?

I am an atheist, hippy, libertarian, punky vegan.....to give you an idea of what kind of individual i am.

My 10.5 month old little girl had colic from 3 weeks to 5 months. Doctors determined that it was a cow milk/soy protein allergy. I cut out all dairy in my diet and she got better :) I was able to nurse until she was 7 months old. I tried her on nutramigen, allimentum but she was having no part of it. I tried nestle good start dha and ara and we havent had any problems for almost 4 months, not that she drinks the amount that shes supposed to, (20 ounces a day) So I thought she had grown out of her allergy. As she is getting close to a year old and is a picky eater I wanted her to stay on the formula but switch to the #2 made by good start. I tried her on 3 bottles over a weeks time of half old/half new and profuse vomiting within 5 mins of taking bottle. So what do I do when she turns one. Do I try her on the Whole milk, Do I have any other options?? or keep her on the baby formula thats been working so far??

My husband is always getting frustrated at the fact that my daughter, who is 1 1/2, makes a mess when she eats. He says that I don't make any attempt to try to teach her table manners! I try to explain to him that she has to practice eating before she masters it, but he insists that he has known plenty of 1 and 2 year olds who didn't make messes when they ate. He can never name them, though. So, is the way he feels normal?

I'm 12 weeks pregnant today and I have enjoyed every minute of my pregnancy - I ate well, no morning sickness and I'm happy with myself for the past 12 weeks. The thing which really bothers me is of having sex with my husband. We tried doing it for a few times, but I ended up stopping the whole thing in the middle of making love - probably lasts about 10 - 13 mins. I am just scared of hurting my baby or the 'bump' and thrust might lead to miscarriage. He has been supportive of me the whole way and i'm so grateful for that. My head is telling me that sex will either 'burst' the aminotic fluid and the banging will lead me to miscarriage.
I have no bleeding, no spotting nothing hurts and im feeling fine after making love. Please help me.
