My son says he should stay up until 12 midnight. He is 14 and sleeps until 11am. Is this too late for him to stay up? What is a reasonable bedtime?

To aviod depletion of my energy while breastfeeding (I plan to breastfeed for many many many months yet).. should I do multi viatmin or prenatal? I don't want iron supplements as that is consitpating.

We ignore them, that dosn't work. We give him time-outs, that's not working. One day he listens and is great the next, he's screaming in a store and we remove him and put him in the car and he starts kicking the car windows of his Dad's car. He's hitting too, which is a zero tolerence time-out by the way, but not stoping the hitting. Help parents!
Thank you Thank you Thank you!

When my best friend came and visited me and my girls at the hospital she told me that she was naming her soon to be daughter Madalie Melayna after i had just told her our twins names : Ashtyn Alexia and Madalie Merisa! She said she came up with that name two weeks ago, but didn't tell me until that day because it wasn't for sure which i know is a lie because she had already decided on Delaney Rae the week earlier!! Should i be mad about this?? And how can i convince her to drop Madalie considering our girls will be going to school together and all!!

Is there anyone who had advice for taking a child off their pacifier? I really don't need theories but if you tried something that worked and you'd like to share, i'd appreciate it a lot.

My child will not sleep without his pacifier and he wakes up in the middle of the night crying for it. I tried letting him cry and find it himself but that doesn't seem to work.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I´ve heard that for babies 6mos old, formula works better than whole organic cow milk. Is that true? I mean, formulas have been in our world for ...what 30 years? And cows.... well lets say much longer....

With each of my four children I had names chosen,because I didn't know the sex of the baby I had to chose a boy name and a girl name! With two of the babies the name suited and they were called that from birth,however with the other two the minute they were born the name didn't fit and I had to choose another,did this ever happen to you? Or even worse, have you ever felt obliged to give a baby a family name that you hated?

My son has "hard" stools, they aren't really that hard but to him they are. He is now scared to poop and holds it in with all his might. I have tried giving him more fruit and veggies, put him on lactose free milk and only give him the 16oz a day, i have tried everything I can think of and nothing works. Any ideas?
