Pregnancy & Parenting - 16 September 2007

Well, another poor girl asked a question about her impending abortion, and as always she got "jumped on." However, I wish you'd stop saying "you shouldn't be having sex if you aren't willing to take responsibility." In my opinion, if you accidentally get pregnant, deciding to have an abortion is some women's way of taking responsibility. BC isn't 100%, and some women need abortion as their back up. Also, what would you tell married women in regards to them having abortions? They shouldn't be having sex with their husbands?

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've been a stay at home mom now for just over 2 years. I just had my second little one 5 months ago. I love and want to do the raising of my children, and although I go to college online part-time, I still feel like I'm accomplishing little. I've looked up online/stay-at-home jobs, but all want me to invest money, red flags to me, so I don't. What would be something that would help bring a little extra in, and allow me to raise my children myself at home? I'm not greedy, but I do want to help and feel a little more needed. Understand this is myself, my husband is wonderful, and although he would like me to stay at home he is not forcing me, nor does he complain in any shape or form about being the only one bringing money home.

All three of them are great kids. Her friends are 16 and 17 years old. My daughter has never given us one bit of trouble. Now she's got her license and wants to explore. The beach is about 2 hours away. I'm hesitant to let her go without a chapperone. What do you all think?

I am watching one of my friends baby who is 4 months old. She said that when she gets fussy and doesnt really want anything but just to cry she will give her some tylenol. When I asked her how much she gave her at a time she said to the 0.8 line! I feel that that is a lot of tylenol for a baby. And she isnt sick or anything!! It just makes her tired and then go to sleep. I dont really know what to tell my friend because it is her baby but I can't give her any, it just doesnt feel right! I would like to bring it up to her but not really sure if this is harmful or not- so I guess I was just wondering if anyone knows what could happen, if anything? Thank you for all you help!

I have tried everything. This is my second pregnancy and I dont remember being this uncomfortable with my first. I have not gained nearly as much weight as last time. Why am I so miserable? Is the baby as uncomfortable as I am?

My 20 month old daughter has a gross habit of waking from her nap and playing with her own feces. I've tried checking on her regularly during her naps to try and catch her before she does it but that only works some of the times, she'll usually do this and then yell for me or her father to come get her. This isn't something she does all the time but it worries me. Her older brothers did it maybe a few times but never after turning 14 months and her older sister did it about six times but stopped before her first birthday. She has no medical problems and I've brought her to the doctor several times to be checked out in case she has put some of it in her mouth but every check up has been normal so it's not really her health I'm worried about. I just get tired of having to scrub her crib, her walls and whatever stuffed animal was in the crib with her when she does this and that's about three or four times a week. I also worry if she'll ever grow out of it.

I mean, I can understand why you think homosexuals might be strange or different, but what's the big deal? Even if you don't think that its good, or you religion prohobits it, why not allow it? How is it affecting you? I mean, it's noty hurting you exactly. And America has a seperation of church and state. It just seems to me like something very similar to blacks and whites not being able to marry. I don't think it should be banned. I also don't understand the arguement that it spreads HIV. Gays currently do not have the highest rate of HIV and AIDS. In fact, marriage would reduce the chance of infedelity as well. And adopting children? Would you rather children grow up in an orphanage than with two loving parents? SOme adopted kids have single parents. I honestly don't understand.
