I am the older children of a large family (i am an adult) my father has second family where the baby well he is 10 doesnt go to school enough i think he has had at least one day off a week since school started in january. He is a little larger and lazy and i sure he gets picked on at school but thats not a reason to go to school. My other brothers and sisters are wondering what we should do it is not good but his mother lets him have time off all the time. My dad works alot so he not around for all the days off but is there some way we can school involved or them to call to see why he has so many days off? we have all sort of brought it up and we get the usual oh he hates school, kids are mean, he's tired, etc etc. Both parents are older and i think he wears them down but this can't be good

My son is 2 months old (and has been breastfed).. I got mastitis in my left breast and now my milk supply has gone way down. I'm supplementing with formula but my breast milk is getting lower by the day so I'm going to have to switch to only formula.
(I use Enfamil Lipil and am going to put him on Enfamil GentleEase)
I know breastmilk is the best form of food .. but I can't do it anymore. I feel bad enough about putting him on formula (so please no rude answers about not giving him breastmilk) ..
I just want to hear from moms who formula feed their babies and hear how their babies are doing on it! (meaning ONLY formula fed, not substitued with breastmilk)
thanks!

I had BMS 5 times between the end of my last period and when I was supposed to start this month. I took a HPT three days before I was supposed to start because I just couldn't wait any longer to find out. Obviously, it was a BFN. Now I am really late with no sign of AF. But, my breasts are NOT tender AT ALL. I don't want to take another test and be disappointed again. Does it sound like I am pregnant even though I have no symptoms?

After you started metformin did you start taking clomid? Can I started both in the same week? Would it help?

I have a 4 and a 3 year old. They are well-behaved. I just don't know whats wrong with me. They get on my nerves so bad, with every little thing they do, I can't seem to get over it. I used to feel so close to them, now I just feel like I can't get away from them enough. What is wrong with me?

ok me and my bf love to ruff house, but not to the extreme...tonight we were in bed playing around he was laying on hims side and me on my back. He had his leg over mine and i pinched him and he jumped causeing him to knee me in the belly. It didnt hurt it was more of a suprise to both of us. He felt soooo horrible. I tried to explain that it didnt hurt, but he felt way to bad. I havent had any cramping or anything, but not im paranoid something will be wrong. i have an ultrasound next thursday, but i dont know if i should see about getting one now and then go to that one(the one next week is for the gender). I havent had any bleeding or nothing unusual, What is your opinion on what i should do?...please no stupid answers it was def. an accident and he feels very bad about it. He would NEVER do anything to hurt me or the baby.

He has done this before and we thought it had something to do with what he ate before he went to sleep. Tonight he didn't eat anything but still vomited. I have noticed that it is always red, but not blood just red. He drank a cherry soda about 7:00 pm.

Did you write out a birth plan? And did it help you get what you wanted? Did your labor go as planned as you thought? Just wondering because i don't know where to start or even if i should do a birth plan. How long should it be ? ect. ect.

Thanks for your answers in advance!

How common is it for a woman to forego any and all prenatal care in the united states? Any idea how many women out there are just having pregnancies and giving birth without ever being "seen" for their pregnancies?? What's the success rate on this one?

And don't worry I'm not doing it, I was just wondering if women are still doing that or not... No need to get in a huff, I'm just asking a question.

And what is it called when a woman doesn't get any ultrasounds/tests/ etc.?? Is it called a "dark pregnancy"?

Thanks for looking.

I would like to have my children very close together but I do not want to risk the health of my next baby or my future fertility. My first delivery was text book and my baby is fine.

love her. What do you think I should do to show her that I love her? It's just that I understand that she has gone through some though stuff , and despite all her good qualifies, she is still blind in a way. It's so weird, because I used to be so mad at her for not being there for me emotionally--but I totally forgive her and want her to feel loved like she deserves.

I'm 17 by the way.

I am 34 weeks pregnant, I found that throughout my pregnancy, I didnt get alot of movement as I expected and as described by other people. However every time I see my midwife, everything is fine. I dont know if this makes sense but maybe some of you know what I mean. It doesnt even feel like theres a baby in my belly! I mean I am really big and its heavy but I dont "feel" a baby, I feel little movements here and there, but I could never tell you how the baby is laying or anything, and also considering how far I am I thought the movements would be stronger considering that the baby is getting bigger...but it doesnt feel like "big" movements. Have any of you felt or experienced this???

My wife and I just found out that we are pregnant and we are planning on telling my family at my sister's Halloween party. We want to do something funny like show up in a cool costume, like an oven with buns in it or something.
Thanks,

His 4 yr old brother will be there too and these friends have an 8 yr old who gets along with them both.
The problem is he still climbs into our bed at nights eventhough he starts off in his own bed.
He's familiar with these friends whom we see every couple of weeks and I trust them to cope, worse case we can go pick him up I guess but am very reluctant to let go.

Ladies, when making love to a man, do you like to have him ejaculate inside you (i.e. no condom)? If you do, why? How does it feel? The points go to the most detailed answer.

11 going on 12..... 14 going on 15. ?? As if when they tell the person what age they are they need to remind that other person that they will not stay that age forever and will soon be a different age soon.

OH....DUH.....!!

I know adults don't say this cause most of us don't want people to know what age we are...ha ha..

But why do kids feel the need to do this. I have always wondered...

My daughter is 3 1/2 years old...and for over a month now she's had no problem's peeing on the potty. She'll announce that she has to go, and run in there and do everything herself....however, and this is where we hit the snag....she refuses to poop on the potty. I'll normally have to force her on the potty or she'll hold it and hold it until night time, when I put on her pull-ups...and she'll go in them. I keep her in regular undies during the day, and at night she'll wear the pull-ups...I guess I have a few questions....how can i get her to poop on the potty? And, should I punish her if she knowingly holds it, and goes in her pull-ups? What type of punishment? Just looking for some advice...

My 11 year old son, when I tell him to he will go in the tub. He only sits in the water for about 5 minutes, He is expected to wash his hair, wash his body, and use lotion (he has very chronic dry skin). But he never does any of this.

I am getting pretty frusterated, why won't he actually bathe and what can I do ?

I got a very positve (like not faint at all) today. I just got off birth control and am late for my period. I am scared I'll still start my period. YOu know like a chemical pregnancy. Has anyone else felt like this? When did you test again? I think I'll test again tomorrow. And then go to the doctor? Any advice would be appreciated.
