My mother in law insists that babies run a high fever when they are teething. I have read somewhere that their temperature should never get above 99.6 while teething. I think that if your baby has a high fever while teething, there is another problem. What do you think?

We are having huge problems. We have quintuplets. And they aren't going to bed. We put them each in their own room. They all go to bed. The one wakes up. My wife goes to take care of it. Then while she is taking care of it the toher one starts to cry. So I get up and start to take care of the other one. They both finally go to bed and then about 20 minutes later the other one starts to cry. How do you get them to sleep nicely and not cry in the middle of the night. It's getting harder and harder everyday. They are only like 2 weeks old.

Ladies, have you had an HSG xray? Apart from cramping on the same day did you get any other side effects? My boobs are VERY sore - I'm due my period on Friday and I'm not sure if the HSG has caused them to be so sore. Did any of you experience VERY sore boobs a few days after the HSG before your period?
(Please - no smutty comments from any guys!)

My 4yr. old talked up a storm at 15 months old. This child only says roughly 20 to 30 words. She talks but makes no sense yet. She does not even respond when I ask "What's this?" She grunts and cries when she wants something. I try to make her ask me but to no avail. Temper tantrums are a big part of her life. She seems like a normal child to me but speech delayed. I'd hate to get her labeled so soon. What do you think?

I guess from me being the parent that is so strict on my daughter and my husband being the lenient one, she is kinda afraid to ask me for things because she is afraid that I am going to fuss. Sometimes I might have been a little over the extreme to certain situations. I don't want us to have this type of relationship. How can I change this? My daughter is 6 years old. She is sort of afraid of me like if she brings home a bad note or if she needs something she will go ask someone to fix it or get it because of the reaction she might get from me. The only time I fuss is when she don't do what she is told.

Heres the full story from earlier, help me!
I met a girl, we ended up living together more or less straight away and she was VERY keen to have sex all the time. We didn't use protection, and she soon said she was pregnant. She then told me she had a water infection, and thats why she showed up as positive, and she broke it off with me. Her friends told me I was just bieng used by her she was desperate to get pregnant. About two months later I found out she was indeed pregnant!! she claimed it was someone elses who she get with straight after me. (within days of our last 'encounter') and she was very defensive about talking about dates etc.... I have now found out that the baby has a hole in its heart, and they are having to induce her early. If she is 30wks + then the baby is defo mine. So two things, can you have a pregnancy test that is positive, if you have a water infection? and how should I proceed in proving I am the father? is there an agency that can help me?

I've read in alot of questions about parents giving their babies/toddlers juice and flavored milk. Juice even fruit juice contains a high amount of sugar that will rot your childs teeth even if they don't have any and even if it is watered down and the same for flavored milks. was just wondering about other parents views on juices and flavored milks for babies/toddlers as my 18month has never had either in his life and not planning on giving any until he is 5 and then only for treats once or twice a week... what do you think?

I am 9 weeks pregnant with baby number two and after hearing some mothers horror stories about being unable to breastfeed or complete breastfeeding for a length of time I wonder why this is. I didnt have any difficulty with mine and I know that it differs from woman to woman and am just curious as to whether there are any particular reasons and what people's experiences were as none of these women have ever really discussed in detail what problems arose and then it would also help me to prevent any problems when I try to breastfeed again from September.
Thanks for all your answers i apologise in advance if this question causes offence but I am sincerely asking for experiences and advice. :)

I do and I am always wrong.lol
We were driving in the car and she asked me what I was doing so I told her I was yawning. She said "No your not yawnin"
Then I told her it was getting dark out and she told me it wasnt. I am not concerned at all that this is abnormal. I know it is quite normal but does anyone understand why?
It seems to me it has something to do with her independence maybe.

Is it fair that I have to go get the belt or spoon when I get spanked? I got spanked yesterday by my daddy. I lied to my parents, so I think I deserve to get spanked. I just don't think that I should I have had to get the belt yesterday.

In my sisters parenting book it says that you should be wary of kissing a child on the lips after the age of 2 (even you own child). I don't think there is anything wrong with kissing children on the lips, i was just wondering what everyone else thought.

I am wondering about taking antidepressants during pregnancy. I am pregnant, and was on antidepressants for the past 8 years. I went off them before getting pregnant, and found myself seriously depressed again within weeks.
I can't seem to find much information online about which antidepressants are safe during pregnancy. My dr has put me back on Citalopram, and I feel better again, but am wondering about side effects, and if any other antidepressants would be safer for my baby. Thanks!

One of my sisters just found out that she is 2 months pregnant with twins (just found out she was pregnant at all). But that is not the problem they have a 3 month 1 week old and a toddler thats a little over 2. Though money isn't a issue and they love kids and want alot it is a bit much for her to digest and she doesn't know how to tell him. She went in casue she though she wasn't recovery well from the pregangy she just had and found out she was pregnant when the doctor looked for a heart beat she found two. How do you tell a man when you have a 2 yr and a 3 month , but you are also 2 months pregnant with twins?

She spends her weekdays between my parent's and my wife's parents who were both teachers. I feel she's got two very good resources to help her grow from an educational standpoint.

However, she does seem "a little" standoffish when interacting with other children her age. I just don't want her to get a late start developing socially. Should I be worried? Do you think enrolling her in preschool would help?
