Hello everyone, I'm 31 wks pregnant and was just wondering, in your opinion, what is the best to have for our little boy when he comes into the world a crib or a bassinet? Also, we are moving into our new house next thursday, how do you suggest we decorate the nursery? Do those diaper genie (diaper pales) really work? Should we wait until the baby shower next month and decorate after that? Or should we get started next week when we move in? Also, when did you "baby proof" your house/apartment? I was thinking about getting it done way ahead of time. Sorry about asking so many questions!

My baby's 10 months old tomorrow, she just won't go to sleep unless she can comfort-suckle at the breast until she dozes off. She's been exclusively breastfed since birth and that's how she's getting all her milkfeeds now even though she has a good appetite for solids and eats three good meals a day. I get the feeling its going to be very very hard to wean her off because I know she will put up a good fight. It doesn't help that I cannot stand seeing her upset and will be very tempted to give in. Does anyone have any good advice/suggestions?? Or do you think I shouldn't even worry about the weaning issue? I read an article on the LLL site and it seemed to say that babies will wean in their own time and its nothing to worry about. I mean, I don't mind if she's 1 or 2 years old and still asks for it every now and then...but... what if she never wants to wean completely even when she's 3 or 4 ?? What is the best way to wean her off without too much grief??

(Examples: The recent couple who wanted to name their child 4Real, and other news articles I've seen where people wanted to name their child things from Satan to Hitler and have been denied.)
I've already googled it with no luck, so if that's your answer, don't bother.

Okay, Im 32 weeks pregnant with my 3rd, and we haven't found out the sex of this one....If it's a girl, we want to name her Violet Belle, and for a boy we really like Jacob. But we can't come up with a good middle name to go with Jacob. My husbands name is John Christopher, so we kind of wanted to find a middle name starting with "C" so they could have the same initials....any good suggestions?

My girlfriend and I have been together for a while and her parents were fine at first. But her mom and dad are very controlling people. Her mom is very co dependent on her and is not a happy person at all. She has always tried to sabotage her relationships.This was also the case with this one.But she came up pregnant. I am more than willing to be the father of this child and take responsibility for it.Her parents want her to go it alone because they hate and they want me to have nothing to do with her which is very unfair. These people call themselves Christians but I am not. Yet they believe that a child should not have father? Isnt that that in the Bible or something?
Her parents basically are hypocrites and they know it. Since her parents are very immature about the situation I cannot confront them.We have to sneak around to see each other.This is horrible for me because I want to be there for the process. Should I write them a letter? Should I call her dad,what should I do?

My 17 year old is just getting his license this month. Doesn't have a job & isn't trying too hard to find one. I swear that boy will get out of the car and not even shut the door.

We have to remind him to take the trash out EVERY day & today he blew off an appointment that I just reminded him of last night. We bought him a car, but he won't even go out and start it. No interest in girls - or boys for that matter.

He loves nothing more than playing a certain game on the internet & I'm worried a lot of problems are stemming from that.
My husband wants to completely shut off the internet, computer, XBox, and PS2 (which are all in his room) until he gets it together and starts showing responsibility.

I'm trying to get him to realize it's important to to do what you need to do because it's the right thing to do - not because you're punished if you don't. HOWEVER.... I am so exhausted and at the end of my rope.

Is this normal for teenage boys? Is my husband right?

Many many people are appalled by the scene where John Krasinski shakes the Mechanical doll until it's head pops off. This promotes shaking babies. This is a serious mistake they have made in this movie. This had been noted by many movie critics. Babies are KILLED by being shaken or injured for life.


Unfortunately to those of you who think this doesn't teach people to shake or hurt a baby, it does. There are people stupid enough out there to believe that is a way to take care of "the problem" (crying baby). These are the baby killers!

I am 34 weeks pregnant and lately, I always have the urge to pee, but when I go to the bathroom... It comes out ever so slowly. I sit for a few minutes just to empty my bladder. I have asked a few moms and it doesn't seem to be very common... What could be happening? it almost seems to me that the baby is putting pressure on not just my bladder but the urethra and is blocking it somewhat? does that even make sense?

My three year old has started stating the obvious - such as, "that lady has big boobies" (friends mom came over in a super lowcut shirt) or "that man has red skin" (totally sunburnt guy at pool) or "that boys not wearing his bike helmet" always in earshot of the person he's talking about, any tips on what my/his dad's response should be - in 3 year old terms?

In each case he's correct, and nothing offensive,and he understands people dont all look the same, but some may not take it that way. Basically trying to teach a 3 year old tact and manners.

I just had my little boy four months ago.
My average weight was 145 before i got pregnant. And it went to a leaping 205.....ouch!

I am now at 180. The weight that is going to just fall off of me already has and i know it is up to me to do the rest.
I have always heard that baby weight is hard to get off.

I need tips....
