Okay my hubby and I have been in a dis agreement for a while sinse I found out we are expecting . We are both for breast feeding, except the fact that I would be more comfortable and for personal reasons rather be pumping the milk and then sharing feeding responsiblities with my hubby with that so we both can bond with the baby and also alow the baby to get benifits of the breast milk. On the other hand my hubby wants me to feed through the breast not through a bottle. Any ideas where we both can come to a agreement before the baby is born?

My son is 5 now and Father's Day has really been a non-issue for our little family. His father has no contact with us at all. (Nor do I care to. I make enough money to earn a comfortable living for the both of us.)

I've always had my son make cards for my father and brother (his grandfather and uncle) since they are his only prominent male figures in his life. This year, my father has asked me not to even bring up the topic of Father's Day since he is worried my son is getting to the age where he is asking more questions.

I've always told my son that there are many types of families out there: some only have mommies and some only have daddies, some have grandparents or aunts and uncles and there are some families that just have people that love and take care of them.

Do you think that it is wrong to go against my father's wishes? I want to make it clear to my son that just because his father isn't there, it doesn't make our family "wrong" or "incomplete."

Does it leak out or if he's in so far does it stay in place? I'm not worried about STD's or getting pregnant.. Because i've been with the same guy for 2 1/2 years, recently tested less than a month ago. And if I get pregnant, I get pregnant. I'll take care of my baby. :]

Im going to be blunt here...
I am 15 weeks pregnant, yesterday I was having sex with my husband and I started to bleed quite heavily, I went to the hospital, but the Doctors said there was nothing wrong. How is there nothing wrong if I was bleeding real heavy? Is there another explaination as to why I could be bleeding like that?

Im so worried

The last day of my period was on May 19th, and I got a positive result (albeit a very faint line) on June 9th (exactly 21 days later). Then a darker line on the 11th. Does that seem early? Or is it normal? The box said most women can't get a positive result until at least five days before their period, so I'm just wondering. Thanks!

Talking about anatomy, my boyfriend's daughter is three and still doesn't know how to refer to her female parts, other than calling the whole area her "bum".

My boyfriend absolutely refuses to say the word "vagina" in front of his daughter, which I believe is teaching her that it's something to be embarrassed about. My mom taught me it was just a body part (albeit one to be respected) which I believe is the best way to handle it. How old were you when you learned the difference between girls and boys, AND how much information should I give her when we do talk about it? Being three, I'm sure just the basics are fine but I've never had to do this before. (Her dad's given me the assignment since I'm the only woman she knows who's willing to discuss things.)

I have a full over full bunk bed for my daughter. We bought that size so when my parents came they would have a place to sleep. Is it safe for both of them or one of them to sleep on the top with her under? We are trying to figure this out. My parents are coming tomorrow night and I wanted to know. The wood pieces on the top bunk that holds the mattress are screwed into the bed so they will not be going anywhere. Please tell me what you think. Thanks.

My son is 16 months old and since he was born he has slept with mommy. Being a single mother, I have my reasons why. I have been attempting to break him of the habit of having to fall asleep with me. I have started with nap time and putting him in his pack and play so he cant get out and he is safe. The last 4 times I put him in there he threw up 2 times from crying to hard. I lay him down with a bottle and say goodnight and leave the room. I am worried about him throwing up and possibly suffocating or something. I try to check on him, but if he sees me it makes it so much worse. I need help with ideas about how to put him to sleep by himself. Thanks for all your ideas. The real ones are really appreciated. I understand there are alot of people who don't agree about a child sleeping with their parent, so the negative comments about that decision is not welcome.

Thanks!!!!!

I read on here about parents who feel that it's better for their children (of any age) to think that babies grow in a woman's tummy and come out of her bottom or are cut out of their tummy -or- that the stork or angels bring them -or- any of a number of other non-factual stories.

Why?

What's wrong with a kid knowing that a baby grows in a special place inside mom that's called a 'uterus' and comes out of another special place, which is part of her private parts, called a 'vagina'? How could the child be harmed by knowing this?

My kids know this. Am I harming them in some way?

Really, some of the reproduction explanations that I read on here are kind of disturbing and confusing when you think about them, especially in comparison to the simple truth.
