She won't sleep for more than an hour at a time. At night she wakes up every hour, sometimes less, and 2 hours is the longest she'll go. She wakes up and wants to nurse. I'm not sure if she 's doing it from hunger or for comfort, because sometimes she just takes a few sips, and goes back to sleep. But she won't go to sleep unless I nurse her for even a minute. She doesn't want a pacifier.
Even during the day, when she takes naps, she won't sleep for an hour or two at once. She wakes up all the time and wants to nurse. Is she using me as a pacifier? Could something be really bothering her? I took her to the doc, and she seems just fine. And when she's awake, she's a happy baby who laughs and babbles all the time. She's gaining about 3oz a week, which is okay for her age (8months).
Why won't she sleep for more than an hour at a time? I am soooo exhausted, but that's okay, I'll be patient. I just wish I knew what 's bothering her. It doesn't seem normal to me...

Im 37+ wks pregnant, I have been getting really sharp pains in my pelvic bone area, and they shoot down to my groin area. But when I read about contractions and braxton hicks they say that u feel them on top of ur belly and around, nothing ever comes out about the pelvic area. I told my Dr, who says its normal, so I don't really worry about it. Has anyone else felt pains like the one im feeling?

until recently i would go out a lot with my son so he would just tfall asleep in the car a lot so i figured the ride got him sleepy. The past few days i've been mostly home and i notice that after a little over an hour he gets super cranky and wants to sleep and his naps last at least 45 min they aren't catnaps at all. Is this normal? Should i itry to smoothe out his schedule more? he wakes several times during the night to nurse but just for a minute or two at a time and overall sleeps 10-12 hours a night so i dont think hes sleep deprived from the night

Just 3 weeks until induction. I'm dilating and contracting and we're going nuts trying to nail down the name of our precious little boy.
We want a /k/ name, either hard c or k. (as in Collin or Keith, not an /s/ sound like Cecil, not /ch/ as in Chad)

I have lots of list of /k/ names, but please just tell me ONE name that you think goes well/best with Ken. Thank you so much!!!This poor baby needs a name! :o)

My daughter is 12mo. and she recently started changing her sleeping habits, she gets up frequently through the night. She use to sleep through the night, I give her a bath, feed her cereal and then put her to bed with a bottle. I though last week was because 2 more teeth broke through, but for instance, I was up last night from 10:45-11:20 and then sometime around 12am and we fell asleep on the couch, I woke up at 2 and tried to put her back down and she woke up by the time I got back in my bed, then from then from 2-3:30am we laid on the couch and then I rocked her back to sleep and got her to stay asleep in her bed. Her dad leaves for work a little after 5 and I pray every day he doesn't wake her. I didn't know if perhaps she got use to me laying with her on the couch last week to sooth her since she was teething last week, plus I didn't mind last week, cause we were on vacation.

My son is big for his age, and he can already stand up and jump in his crib... he is also strong enough to pull him self almost up and out of the crib... he is only 10 months old.
When did you move your little one to a bed? Maybe just a mattress on the floor?
Any advice?

So me and the doc are a bit confused (confused not worried) and Im thinking maybe you guys can help. The first date of my last period was on April 27 of this year... which would put my baby now at 16 weeks and 5 days. 2 months ago the doc did some measurements and the baby would now be measuring at 16 weeks and 2 days. Well, yesterday doc did a measurement of the babies head and its now meauring at 17 weeks... how in the world is that possible when the first day of my last period was April 27th (there is NO questions that was the day)... doc said he isnt going to worry because in 2 weeks I go back for full ultrasound and he is going to measure every inch of my baby. Any ideas?

I have never heard of this as a form of punishment. I thought time-out was the norm. Is the that still acceptable in some schools? If not, what should I do?

My baby's nose has been draining for awhile, and he has also been coughing for awhile. When he breathes there is a rattling sound coming from his mouth like he needs to cough up some flem. But unfortunately he cant spit or blow his nose because he's only 7 months.The doctor has given different medicines and says he is healthy, but I think otherwise. This has been going on too long for a 7month old to just be healthy. And none of the medicines are doing anything.

I'm almost 12 weeks and feel like I already have a little belly. I am small in frame and have always been in good shape. Is it normal to start showing this early??

he has become totally defiant and it's virtually intolerable. i've taken things away, tried talking to him and put him in his room...and now he just comes out of his room when i do, screaming, crying and kicking. he won't listen to anything and i've resorted to yelling which makes it worse for both of us. he asks for something and then changes his mind when i give it to him and has a cow when everything doesn't go his way. there has been no recent change in his life as well to blame this behavior on. i am at my wits end and i don't know what to do. is the next step just ignoring him completely? NOTHING WORKS.

Im 38 weeks today. I went to bed fine, woke up at 12ish and felt like i was spinning, got up and got a drink of water, laid back down and was fine, but now at 2am I woke up spinning again. I laid there with my eyes open and it started happening with my eyes open. I am not sitting up in the living room, and I feel fine, except that im like sick to my stomahce cuz i feel like i just went for wild rolloer coaster ride.

Any Ideas what this might be? I have a Dr. Apt today, If I can make it that long without throwing up lol. Its kinda creepy to lay down and feel this way, I dont like it. Any Suggestions?

After the 2 am battle with this, I ate a peanut butter sandwich and a glass of milk, went back to bed and seemed ok, until this morning, when i got up to pee again, and laid back down, then things started spinning again.

I have a dr apt today about 4, and called, it cant be moved up, However I am going to go have my b/p tested to make sure it is ok. any other suggestions

My husband and I would love to have twins,but have no history of them in our families,so it seems unlikely.

I am 29 and am not in need of those fertility drugs that give a lot of parents twins.Any ideas?

Hi everyone! So yesterday I went to the doc and we did an ultrasound (just to see if perhaps we could see the gender)... my little brat had its feet crossed and was not about to move for no one! lol... I go back in 2 weeks to do the full ultrasound... has this happened to anyone and then at the following appointment found out the gender? I do have to say though... it sleeps just like daddy... arms up by the head and feet crossed... how cute it that???

my last period dates were
may 27 (31 days long)
june 27 (30 days long)
and july 26 (so my next period should be august 24/25)

so that turns out that i have an average of cycle of 30-31 days

anyways so since we ovulate 14 days before does this mean i ovulate on day 16 or day 17 right?

durin my last few cycles.. ive been tracking eggwhite mucus.. and i noticed that it starts around day 14 but its really less.. and then it increases.. and i have the most on day 16.. like a lot of it.. and also on day 16 i get twinges.. n my bbs feel sore.. its like i can literally feel im ovulating.. so am i correct?

ladies with a 30/31 day cycle.. if you ever used OPKs or charted your temperature.. what day did you find that you ovulate?
