I have twin three year old boys that have figured out every kind of baby gate I have. (top of stairs mounting, pressure gate) If they havent figured it out they have climbed it. What else can I do. If you are not familiar with twins, they do not talk well, therefore, telling them something is close to impossible.

My 13 month old has had a fever for 2 days now. It has been 103.0 and up. I took her to the ER and they said it was ok to have fevers that it was nothing serious. Even that high. They told me to give her motrin.Last I knew a fever wasn't that good. She has been on that for 2 days and it still isn't breaking. She is also on atibiotics cause they thought she might have a sinus infection. Is it good to have a temp that high this long?What can it cause. What else can I do? I have tried sponge baths, and everything else. I need help. I need advice. Thanks.

My baby girl just turned 1 about a week ago. She's suppose to be eating table food. She eats it, but I want to give her more of a variety other than mashed potatoes and stuff like that. Any ideas or recipes?

Regarding pain in my lower left side. Im 12 weeks pregnant.. the doctor ruled out UTI or kidney infection but now the pain has moved into the upper left side of my abdomen just under my rib cage. My doctor is out of town till monday so I wanted your opinions of what it may be or if you have had anything similar happen? It hurts to breath, and even walk.

i'm just wondering, i'm not saying that money should influence the decision to foster a child, i would take a child in if i only got 5 cents per week! so yea, how much would the typical pay be for fostering?

I wanted to post this question here because I want parental advice. I can't confide in my own parents because they'd be upset&i'm too embaressed anyway...plus my family LOVES my bf& I don't want them to resent him. It would cause tension. The problem is my bf.

I'll admit that my boyfriend isn't perfect. When he gets angry at me he is insulting, he says the meanest things to make me cry (weight and looks), he deliberately ignores my attempts to contact him...sometimes he does this for a few days, sometimes a week,& he will give me the silent treatment, which anyone that has ever been there knows, is not fun at all. However, he has never laid one finger on me in anger, and he is not always this way, it only happens when we have periods of stress&conflict. What can I do to help him stop this behavior toward me&deal with stress better? I don't think it is right to leave someone just because they have character flaws. Plus we love each other a lot and he ALWAYS apologizes. Help?

My baby boy lost his speech and lines things up, rocks and bangs head and stares at wheels on cars. He never responds to his name. We are starting Early Intervention therapy. Just wanted opinions on what you think causes autism. He did have a bad reaction to the MMR vaccine. I am considering not having any more vaccines for him. He is do again in September for vaccines and I might refuse them.

I know we love our children unconditionally, but I am interested to find out what people actually like and love about thier children.
There are probably too many to name but a couple would bew nice.
I love my daughter unconditionally, but one example is because she is very zany and she makes me laugh at the times when I need it most.

My son is 18 months olds and for the last 7 weeks he has been extreamly constipated. He has seen the Dr. more than once, and been to the hospital. I have tried Brown sugar and water, lansoly jelly, and lactulose. I have increased his fiber intake and am giving him as much water as he will drink. I am really worried. He has a movement everyday, but it is very hard. He has torn his bum and not it beeds if he is not having a looes movement.
I don't know what to do please help. Any advice would be a great help.

At just three weeks, we recently switched from breastfeeding to a "Gentle Ease" formula for fussy babies or those with gas. Up until now, his BMs have been a light mustard color and very loose, like normal babies. Should I be concerned?

Ok, so I had my first baby girl this past Saturday. She was 8lbs. 13oz. and delivered via c-section. As far as my healing is going, I'm doing just fine. Yesterday was our first day home and I am so overwhelmed with different emotions, I feel like I just got pregnant again. I'm wondering is it normal to feel "not yourself" and out of it with some mixed emotions during the first few days, or weeks? I would love to hear some of your stories and how you coped with this new feeling. Thanks!

I not sure how to put it any lightly, but I am concerned that my 4 week old baby boy might have something wrong with his privates. The first few weeks after he was born, I was just so happy that he was healthy and didn't really pay attention to anything else. However, as the weeks went on and I gave him baths and changed his diapers I began to realize that his privates probably should not be so small, even though he is only 4 weeks old. A few days ago my son got an awful stare from a lady at a family restroom when I was changing him. It does not look like his testes are descended and you can hardly tell he has a penis. Only a little bit of foreskin can be seen. He does not have much pubic fat so it is probably not buried underneath that. My doctor did not mention anything about this and I am a little embarassed to ask about it. Might he have some hormonal issues while he was developing? What should I do? Should I jus
