Pregnancy & Parenting - 8 February 2007

My 12 month old son now purses his lips and turns his head when I try to feed him anything but even when I give him finger foods he barely eats, mostly plays. He's still breast feeding but I'm concerned about his iron stores. He's not eating solids really. Anyone had a baby become anemic? What should I watch out for? Any advice on how to get him to eat?? Thanks.

My one year old only has four teeth and can't walk yet. She stands up but then she figures why walk when I can crawl. She eats healty. Is she just a late bloomer?

I am 36 weeks pregnant with my fourth child. With the delivery of my other children I felt overwhelmed by "company". I was talking to my husband about it and would like for this to be a somewhat private moment between us but don't know how to tell my mother. She was present at 2 out of 3 of my other deliveries.

First of all I'm 13 and my brother is 11. He forgets to turn in his homework a lot or do the work good. Its like his brain doesn't function and he forgets. He still gets A's.
Its also a big fight when he forgets something (almost everyday!) And my mom gets really upset. She yells and treatns to to take away computer time if he doesn't turn it in. It affects all of us,becasue she's really agitated. We also help him for like hours and then he doesn't even turn it in sometimes.I try and help the most I can. When she works (4 nights a week) I stay home and cook, help carlos with homework, and do my homework. Its VERY stressful because there is so mich to do. She gets stressed out going to work because she knows how my brother is like.I just want to know how to get her less stressed about my brother. When ever I talk about it to him, he's like "okay I will tomorrow" about h/w or talking to the teacher. He never does. And doesn't really care unless mom gets in his busness.

HELP

I had an ultrasound on Friday. My doctor called me today and said that there was a "tiny tiny tiny amount of blood in the gestational sac" (i think thats how you spell it) anyways she is not an OBGYN and said that she had called to make sure i had an appt. with an OBGYN which I do on the 26th 3 weeks from now. She didn't advise me to get a sooner appt. nor did she say it was an emergency. This is my first pregnancy and I am very scared...has anyone heard of this before...or had it? She said she thinks it's from implimentation. I am in my 8th week of pregnancy and saw the heart on last firday's ultrasound. Only serious answers please.

Five weeks ago this Sunday (about Dec. 31) I took the morning-after pill because a condom failed my partner and I (it broke). We went to the pharmacy first thing in the morning, I got the pills and took them as prescribed. I even had my period Jan. 8, exactly when it would have come (my cycles are usually perfect-28 days). I've taken the M.A. pill before and it screwed with my cycle but didn't this time. So should have started my period this past Monday and haven't. It's almost Friday and I've got no signs of my period coming. I haven't been stressed, haven't changed my eating habits, and haven't done any hard-core working out. What's goin on here? Could I have gotten knocked up even after taking the pill???? I posted this question a week ago or longer, because I've felt..well... pregnant. I took a test last night and it came out negative..but it was also only $1!! What should I do, buy a better test? Wait another week? Can the pill mess up your next couple cycles?

She's gone through about 10 diapers in less than an hour due to urinating so much. She's only about a month old. Why would she urinate so much?

I make him sit on the commode twice everyday, but he would never potty. As soon as I put a diaper on he does it. I'm getting too tired of this thing. Please help! I always am very patient with him never scolding him about what he does, telling him stories of how his other cousins love to do it on the commode. By the way I have tried very fancy potty seats too. Nothing seems to b working :-(.....

My 2 week old baby is scratching up her face because her little nails are long and uneven. She was a month premature, and because her hands are so small, i can't find any scratch mits that will fit her. I tried to clip her nails with a baby nail clipper, but I accidentally pinched her finger and hurt her, I felt so bad that I'm not using them again. I'm afraid using a nail file will hurt her just as much. Any mom's have any suggestions?

What did you nap with, or play with most? The one thing you had to have.

Mine was a cloth diaper (clean!) that I dragged around. My most beloved toy was my orange and blue Big Wheel. I had lots of adventures on it!
