This past year my 7 year old has become more and more rebellious. He screams, kicks, punches and yesterday he even bit me. I am ashamed at what I think of him. I love him and want to help him overcome his behaviour but how. My husband and I have tried many things but nothing seems to work. He was a perfect child up till now. He started getting into trouble at school and was even suspended this year at the age of 6. Wow! I am beside myself and haven't got a clue what to do. How can I get through to him and make him understand that his behaviour not only hurts others but himself as well. He is a great kid with a hot temper. Please help.

My husband and I had sex last night and we used a condom. He came inside of me while he still had the condom on. He was inside of me for almost a minute and he had lost his erection. When he was about to get up he said "Hold up, it's about to come out" (the sperm) and he quickly got up. I'm really hoping and praying that no sperm came out of the top. I'm trusting that he got up before it leaked out the top. I believe he did and I don't think that I'm pregnant but there's always that "what if". I have 3 year old twins already and I'm really not ready for another child. But anyways, could the sperm have leaked before he realized?

I am a second time mom, my first was 8 long years ago.
I can't remember much from back then, and my kids are the only babies I have ever been around so I am not sure what is considered normal...My 2 month old cries a lot. He eats his bottle, lays on the floor and plays for about 20-30 min (and spits up while he's there), then just starts screaming. He becomes hard to console. I litterally have to walk back and forth while bouncing him to get him to stop, and I try to stop and sit down he goes into fits..does this sound normal? I am concerned he may have GERD, but don't want over diagnose him. I give him a tiny bit of maloxx and a pacifier and he calms right down, but I don't know if the taste distracts him or if it really helps. Anyone with similar experience?

When we pick her up or hold her arm (gently!) she gets red marks really easily. Is this normal? She also has little ridges on her nails which I'm not sure about either.

My son who just turned15 months, I think has an allergy to cow's milk.
I started giving him whole milk about two weeks ago, and about 5 days after taking it he has had diarreah ever since.
But he is still drinking, and doesn;t have a fever.
I was just wondering if anyone else is going through this.
I have heard some information on a cow's allergy, and it says sometimes the child may outgrow it.

I have a 3 year old son. He has been potty trained since he was 2. My daughter is 15 months old and I wanted to start potty training her. When I put her on the potty all she wants to do is flush the toilet and try to splash the water.. Gross. Does anyone have any tips for me. I was also told that girls are easier to potty train than boys. Well I find this to be wrong.

My daughter is only 12 months old and seems pretty vicious. When one of her brothers has something she wants she attacks them. She hits, bites and pinches. Most of the time she's sweet, but other times a beast. They always give her what she wants, so they don't have to deal with it. This isn't teaching her anything, except hitting gets her what she wants. I tell her "no", but she doesn't get it. She just keeps trying to get at them. She's still a baby so I don't know what to do with her. Any advice would be appreciated.

In no particular order, I like the names Sarah, Charlotte, Samantha, Susan, Helen and Polly. The only thing I worry about is that they might be a bit on the old fashioned side, but I think they're pretty. What do you think?

What are the benefits, if any, of organic milk v.s regular milk during pregnancy? What about soy vs. regular/organic?

My son is 9 months and my wife and I want to get his ears pierced (yes both of them)? His grandparents are against it. Should we get it done?

ok, so i'm not pregnant, and with some protection and luck i hope i'm not for at least 4 more years. i've been on birthcontrol for 3 years and we always use a condom, but you know, accidents can still happen. so we (mainly me) have already decided that if that happens i'm going to get an abortion.
i was just wondering if any women out that have had one, what kind of side effects did you have (both emotional and physical)
do you think you made a mistake? did it hurt your relationship (if you were in a serious one)
please no rants about how abortion is a sin.

I have a very irregular period eversince. I always end up hoping I am pregnant but end up frustrated. I'm 25 and I really wanted kids with my husband, we've been married for almost 3 years no with almost 2 years trying. I suspect that I am PCOS. I am afraid to have transv and I wanted to try metformin. I read that I can take it for 4 weeks, 3 times a day with 500mg. Do you think I should give it a go or not? thanks!

Is it possible to get pregnant while on your monthly? Not asking for me but someone else......

2007-07-06 01:42:20 · 45 answers · asked by Anonymous in Pregnancy

I'm breastfeeding my 2nd child, have a manual pump but find hard work get hand cramp!!
Would like to purchase an electric one as always said I would. There are cheaper versions out there for around £25 mark but how effective are they? Would you consider a 2nd hand one as it is going to be sterilised, i'm not sure I like the idea but some of the known branded ones are £50-£85 and i'll probably only use for about 3months, my 3 year old son is desperate to feed his baby sister as is my husband, and it's not always appropriate, to get my boobs out, in certain places, as I feel uncomfortable with peoples reactions.
So help on brands that are effective to please without breaking the bank please, thanks:)
