How much space do you need for taking care of 12 kids in an apartment. I was thinking of having a big two bedroom apartment is that ok or is more space needed?

my son is getting his first couple of teeth in, and when he sucks, sometimes he'll clamp down and i can feel his little teeth pinching me!!!! i would like to know if there are any nipples that are closest to the breast to make the transition??? also he has only nursed, no substitutions, so is it better to transition to the bottle or a cup??? and if anyone knows of a good nipple out there that is more like the breast???? i don't mind spending some money, just want to know what works!!!!

We're searching for the perfect middle name for Sally ___ Case. Sally is an old family name, actually the earliest person we can trace our "Case" lineage to. We settled on it after our son coincidentally said "let's name her baby Sally" from the Dick and Jane books. We also like it because it's more classic, not too trendy and isn't onthe top100. Appreciate any suggesitons. So, here's a few we're thinking:

Laine
Elise
Braiden
Hunter
Drew
Jordan
Mia
Emma
Rose
Lynn
Renee
Raine
Rayne
Elaine
Wren
Aidan
Rae
Isabelle

Thanks a bunch!

I recently had a miscarriage January 3,2007. My doctor want me to take birth control to get my body back normal. Why is that I want to try to have another child. I am still bleeding she said I am having my period. I am so confused from the day I had a miscarriage I havent stop bleeding and they didnt do a D&C at the hospital neither did my obgyn request for one. I think I still have tissue inside my uterus. Should I go get a second opinion?

when i had my daughter they had just brought in the $3000 bonus i was happy because i got her things so much better than what we planned we could afford, but then i noticed as i looked around that everyone was pregnant! i know alot of woman did the same as me and bought every thing for the baby but i dont understand why woman are pushing around old mouldy prams when they are getting $3000-$4000-$5000 it just surprises me how many people started getting pregnant but are obviously not spending the money on the baby.Iknow that alot of woman had baby's because the baby bonus ment they could afford the time off work....im not refering to those ladies.

I am 35 weeks pregnant and I have an nst done every week, last week they said that I was contracting but I wasn't really sure if I was feeling it. I have a 6 year old so this is all kinda new again and I didn't really get contractions with her.

Anyways my question is and please don't make fun I just need to know what do contractions feel like. Every site I have been too says a uteran contracting or some crap like that but I figured since most of you have had children you could describe what it feels like a little better.
A friend kinda described it as your upper stomach like right under your breast gets rock hard then softens? Is that true? Because if that is the case I have had many of them....

I find that while TTC some things in that movie make perfect sense, not to mention they make the stress of TTC sort of less.

Why do people keep lecturing people on being married before having children? Honestly why does it matter? As long as a child has two loving parents then whats the big deal? Married couples can easily separate as non married couples. And also there is a thing called Freedom of Religion, and I know in most religions it is a sin to have a child without being married, but what about those who do not believe in that? When people are trying to conceive and are asking for tips, give them the tips, not telling them to be married first. God LOVES EVERYONE and FORGIVES everyone. Isn't that what we are taught?

My 6 year old son was making his Valentines to bring to school today and I noticed that he was making some for the boys in his class. Should I take him out of school and start homeschooling him or do you think it is just a phase and he will snap out of it?

My child is just over eight months old right now. She has been standing on her own since five and a half months old, and she can crawl extremely well. She can halfway "cruise" but not very well. I would rather not put her in the walker, as she is mobile enough on her own, and I have heard so many conflicting stories as to whether or not walkers are safe. So my question is this.
Walkers themselves, are they safe or not? I realize she will need extreme supervision while in the walker, but I have been told that walkers can hurt the ankles, legs, etc. and teach bad walking habits, in addition to putting excess strain on the muscles. Is this true, or not?

Thank you all so much!

I find my self so stressed at times and my children make it worse by mis behaving and most of the time I yell. I do spank my children when they get out of hand really bad. A little smack on there butt we have tried the whole time out thing and my 4 year old laughs and my 2 year old is starting to do it.
It is cold sup zero here now and it is to cold to take them to the park or something not to mention we have 91 inches of snow.I do take them in the snow to play when it is in the 20's .
Anyways what I am asking is what can i do with them involving indoors activites so they will have soemthing to do and have fun. I feel like I don't do enough with my children and maybe that is why they act out. I really don't know why they act like they do i buy them things do things with them give them lots of hugs and kisses.
Does anyone have any ideas

I'm concerned that so many children need homes yet we keep creating new ones even when we have trouble concieving.
Does anyone thing we'd adopt more if it wasn't so difficult?
