I've heard of sudden heart failures for this position. I also heard the plus side is that their chest muscles grow stronger because they have to lift their head to change positions (facing left and right). You see, my baby brother was born in the US and he was immediately placed to sleep face down. I remember pictures of in an incubator (yellow fever) upon birth and he was chest down.

I will probably need to put my 2 year old son in daycare within the next month or so. It will be part time--about 15 to 20 hours a week. I will be going to visit some in the next couple of weeks. So, what kinds of questions would you ask while visiting? What would you look for to indicate that the daycare is good (or bad)? I want to make sure that they give high quality care.

These are not home daycares in case it makes any difference. I assume it will be okay to ask questions. Right?

Also, are there preschools for children this age? If so, what would the difference between a daycare and preschool be? Thanks for any ideas and input.

My son is 2 1/2 now and no matter what I do he will not use the potty. His favorite thing in the whole world is elmo so I have tried buying elmo underwear, baby elmo that uses the potty, an elmo dvd that helps kids potty train, and an elmo potty. He doesnt even care when he goes to the bathroom on himself. He could go hours with poop on his little butt and he wouldn't care lol. Any suggestions I will try anything at this point!!!

How long do people spot after plan b?
I took plan b like 12 hours after the 2nd time I had unprotected sex. The 1st time he told me he might have came in me a little...but the 1st time was on the very last day of my period.
Well I just started spotting today and it already stopped.
6 Days after I took it.
My cycles are not normal though.
One month I'll have a 28 day cycle and the next a 36 day cycle so I'm never quite sure what's going on.
I do have a 11 month old son and I do remember I had bright red spotting with him, but the spotting I just had was brownish pink.
So I don't know how much each pregnancy differs.
But I just needed to know if this was from the plan b?
And how much you should bleed after plan b.

Hi there,

I am 32 weeks as of yesterday. I have noticed over the past two days or so a descrease in fetal movement. My Dr. said to be concerned and let them know if I feel movement less than 12 times in 6 hours, and I do believe I feel her that often. However, her kicks are definitely less frequent than in subsequent weeks, and also less strong. Would could this mean? I know, you all are going to say "call your Dr.!" but I just wanted some other personal advice. Everything else seems perfect, I feel great, baby is growing on schedule and her heartbeat at my last appointment was normal, and strong at 160. (that was 5 days ago)

This goes out to anyone. About 2 and a half years ago someone i slept with became pregnant and I was told that it was my child. Approximatley 6 or more months ago i found out from a paternity test that i am not the father. Now i want to know how i can remove my name from the original birth certificate so nothing comes back later to haunt me.

My new job as an assistant manager is getting me thinking, are we deciding not to punish our kids?
I caught 2 ten year olds stealing toys and soda today. They resorted to lying and hiding and smirking when they were confronted. The kids behaved like they weren't afraid of their parents and knew that punishment wasn't going to happen. I'm thinking, when I was 10, which was not long ago, if my parents caught me stealing they would have beaten me to a pulp. My boss later told me they usually the parents just pay them and don't care with their kid just did.
This got me thinking, do you punish your kids if they did something like this and how would you punish your kids?

She is a breastfed baby and the problem happens when i give her solid food. I have tried water,diluted apple juice, leg exercises. should I be worried? Is this normal? Should I let it happen naturally or give her small shot of warm water in the bum?

My son is 10 years old and some days when I have to work overtime, he might have to stay home by himself. We live in a small town that is very safe, and I would have phone contact with him the whole time he stays home. Is that okay? How long should 10 year olds stay by themselves? How old do most people start staying home by themselves?
