My daughter will be a year this month. She's still on formula. I don't know if I should start giving cow's milk or give the "next step" formula (for 9-24 months babies). I rather give the cow's milk honestly because it's cheaper but is it the right time?

Ok, According to my calander, period isn't due for another week. Today is Monday (I'm in Australia) on Friday night I started having light pink mucousy discharge, nothing too major, didn't need tampon or pad. Continued through Saturday, went away yesterday but came back that night. Has been on and off today, at times a little darker than pink, but never red, and doesn't look like blood per say. Still no actuall need for tampon or full on pad. (just liner for hygeine)

So, Could this be implantation bleeding (pregnancy) or am I just having a strange period?? I am like clockwork, and usually have heavy ones. Only time I've missed was both times I was pregnant with my kids.

Thank you for your help.

I have 3 babies a son who just turned 3 and twin girls who also just turned 2. I have tried a little potty seat but they want to play with/in it more than sit on it and I have tried getting them on the big potty. It all only worked for a couple of days and then they just lost interest in it and they havent done it since and wont do it even when I make them sit on their potty for 15 min or so. They wait untill the pull up is on and then do it. I have tried treats and praise but they only really go on the potty every so often but wont do it on a regular basis. Can anyone "who knows what it is like and succeded let me know what you did?"

I was wondering if i teaspoon in 4 ounces of formula was just enough to make it a little bit thicker not too much. My baby is 1 month old but she wakes up every 2 hours and eats 4 ounces. I am in need of some desperate sleep and she is not sleeping during the day very much. I have heard different opinions about giveing her cereal already but it's my choice.

all i've been reading say that pt's should be taken AFTER a missed period, but i am VERY anxious to know now. it has been 13 days after the day i had unprotected intercourse, and i did it 7 days after my period. it was unprotected, but my partner withdrew before ejaculation. i have an irregular cycle (30-45 days) but i always get my monthly period.
if i get a blood test at the doctor's, would i have an accurate result by now? please, i'm really very worried :(
thanks for the answers in advance!

He has a speech delay, and potty training him isn't going too well since he can't communicate the need to go to the bathroom. I need to put him into school when it starts back up in August, any advice???

I'm getting confused because all of the books, and pregnancy websites all use a different method it seems like. Some go by 9 months, and some by 10. So, if I'm 23 weeks, next week I turn 6 months, and will be 6 months for 4 weeks, right? Where does the 9 months, not 10 thing come in? I don't understand why this is so confusing. Im due October 9th.

Recently, my almost 18 month old is taking approx. 1 hr. to fall asleep at night. She's doesn't seem to take much less time falling asleep for her nap. Seems she need a min. of 5 hrs. awake time bet. sleep to be tired enough. However, because her nap ranges anwhere from 1.5 to 2.5 hrs., we'll normally put her to bed by 7PM in the evening.

At which time, she just talks to herself (no toys and very dim in her room). When she took an hour to fall a sleep consistently for a week, I tried putting her down later at 7:30 PM. However, that didn't seem to have alter the situation and she only end sleep even later. She's been falling

Can anyone tell me whether you experienced something similar with your child/ren at his age range? Is his another phase she's going through or is it a new behavior I should expect going forward? I'm also wondering if I need to stick with putting her down later and how long typically should I try this before I can see results?

Thank you,
Christine

Worried about the full time scene of preschool like setting for my 2yr old. Some say it will be good for her - others have told me not good for her. I have to go back to work soon, by Sept. 07.

Im worried that if I don't get my 2 yr old girl into a playgroup/preschool that she may end up shy and not very outgoing. Should I be concerned? (There are almost no kids her age in my circle of friends, other than one nieghbor who also has a 2yr old girl, for my 2yr old to play/interact with.)

My 10 week old son doesn't wake up or respond to claps in his ear or me speaking his name clearly very close to his ear when he's sleeping or awake. He responds and jumps to crumpling paper in his ear though. Could my son having a hearing problem? He passed his hearing tests in the hopsital right after birth and he has full 'conversations' with me all the time - he makes noises, I mimic or talk back, then he speaks again, etc.

i had my son 5 wks ago and got second degree tears, all on the outside. my husband and i really want to resume our sex life asap (its killin me). we tried fooling around yesterday and he honestly couldnt go in a 1/4 inch before i had this sharp pain as if someone was snipping me with a little pair of scissors. we stopped obviously cuz that certainly wasnt going anywhere. it feels way smaller than before and worse than the first time we ever did it (i lost my virginity to him). we figured it just needed to stretch back into shape but then today we were just laying in bed and he tried to use his finger instead... again, same result. now im right jumpy when he goes even just on my leg close to the area and scared of hurting myself. i mean, it must be pretty tight if a finger wont even go in there... is it possible that i was sewed up too tightly which sounds ridiculous, i know, but i swear thats what it feels like. im going to wait another 2 wks to let it heal more before trying again :(

Earlier this morning, we went to a bbq at a friend's house and it was also the first time our 17 mo old son was exposed to other toddlers, some younger, some older, some the same age. While mingling with other people and talking, I was keeping an eye on him and also noticed he wouldn't play with them, he would distance himself and sit on the grass and play all by himself. Are my wife and I overreacting? We thought maybe bringing him out more amongst other kids could help....
We're not an antisocial family, we're just too busy for get-togethers.
