Pregnancy & Parenting - 4 February 2007

Parents, honestly, if your daughter was 5'8" and she brought home a guy who is 5'5"-5'6" would you break them up? Why or why not?

Siblings, if your sister dated a guy shorter than them would you try to break them up? Why or why not?

I'm sure a bunch of you would, but I'll wait to see what answers I get. Thanks.

I am traveling abroad with infant. Planning to take as much frozen breastmilk as possible. How do I keep it frozen for 8hrs give or take?

I figured I could buy several soft-sided coolers and use dry ice to keep breastmilk frozen. Then I can easily put the coolers in my bags.

Questions are;

- Will breastmilk be safe? will it stay completely frozen?
- Do x-rays or scans bags go thru affect the milk?
- Is it safe to store milk with dry ice and close the coolers tightly?
- Any suggestions?

Thx!

My 2mth old has silent reflux that is like heartburn in adults. This is constantly waking him. I feel that this is constantly waking him while he sleeps as he is only sleeping for 30min intervals & wakes screaming like he is being murdered?

I have been to the doctors & child clinic & they have suggested I wrap him & let him cry no more than 15mins?
I have tried this for over a week now & it is not working. It takes me an hour to eventually settle him with cuddles?

Please Help

If the twos were terrible, the threes are mind boggling! My daughter used to be the sweetest little girl god put on this planet. NOT ANY MORE! She talks back, hits, and even tells her 18 month old little sister to do things that she knows are off limits. I am at my wits end. I have no idea what to do. I have put her in time outs, taken away priviledges, and even spanked her once. My husband says that all she needs is a good spanking to settle her down. I gave her the one and I don't think I have the stomach to do it again. She gets along great with other kids but at home with me and her little sister she acts out, constantly pushing the limits. What should I do?

My cousin is due to have her first child in one month and she hasn't even bought one single item for the baby! I think that is absurd and shows a sign of neglect. What if she went into premature labor? What the hell would she even dress the kid in? How would she get the baby home without a car seat? I am really concerned about what type of mommy she will be... she doesn't seem like she is too happy to become a mommy at all!

I took 2 equate pregnancy tests over 30 hours apart and got the same result each time. Because I had a baby over 4 months ago and only receieved 1 cycle about 5 weeks ago, I don't know what to do. Both times, there was a bright vertical line but a really faint horizontal line in the result window. Should I be worried?

I heard somewhere that you are suppose to point a boy's penis downward when changing his diaper so that urine doesn't shoot out. The nurses at the hospital never mentioned this to me. It makes sense I suppose, but at my son's age it's a bit small to point in any direction. It's just like a stub and it really can't go in any direction. Are any moms able to point it downwards or does anyone do that?

What did your baby weigh at 3 months? I am only curious and am not really into percentiles or comparisons. I was just wondering because I have a 3 month old son and we just got back from the ER where they weighed him and the nurse said "what are you feeding this kid?" He weighed 20lbs 15.6oz. He doesn't look overweight and is mega active so I know he's fine but I was wondering how alone I was in the big baby department.

I am 8 weeks pregnant and a little nervous. I haven't been getting as sick as I use too. I still am really tired, moody, bloated, constipated, my boobs are starting to get sore and with blue veins, my cramping has gone down a lot but its feels still like menstural cramping, and I can smell everything. Just today I noticed a little pinkish discharge when going to the bathroom. Is this a sign of miscarriage? I am afraid my symptoms of pregnancy are going away. What do I do? My next ultra sound is this Thursday. But I am so worried! Please some advice.

My son has been sleeping with me and my husband since he was 8 months old. I tried to get him to sleep in his own bed for awhile but he would sleep maybe 2 nights a week in his bed and then the rest of the time with us. I finally gave in and he sleeps every night with us. I was going to start making him sleep in his own bed when we found out that my husband is being deployed and will be gone for a year. I decided not to make to many changes at once and I will let him sleep with me for a little while longer. I enjoy waking up next to him and the first thing he says to me is "good morning, mommy" but I am concerned if it is healthy for a two year old to sleep in his parents bed. If so at what age should I make him sleep in his own bed?

Here is the situation I have 4 children and I have no family...So this concerns more of my husbands family...So I have 4 Children and my in laws dont seem to care for my children the way that they should as grandparents. My husband and I are moving out of the state and we have no family where we are going...So I want to know if it would be rude if I got pregnant when we moved and I never told the family that we were having another baby..I only say this because they show no interest in the ones that we already have..So I want some insight on what others might think about this. Please let me know thank you.

Hey guys,

I was wondering what is the procedure required to be a labor and delivery nurse?

I know a community college that offers Associates RN program, and it's two years, and upon completion of that, I can take license/certification test. By doing so will qualify me as a Registered nurse. How do I become L&D nurse?

I read on some sites that I need to finish the RN program and then apply for license? But the sites weren't that credible.

Thanks for your help!!
