I'm thinking of using a breastpump but I don't like the bottles that come with it. Is there any reason why I can't just pour the milk into another bottle after it's expressed?

Thanks!

My 4 year old son is in headstart. He can say his abc's and count to 10. And is starting to learn how to write letters. But he doesn't know the letters or numbers when he sees them and can not spell his name or wirte it without help. I thought that was what the headstart teachers were supposed to teach them, but the told me today there is some people coming to give extra help to the kids who need it. If the teachers are not teaching them these things then what are they there for? I feel like they are just babysitters if he is not learning these things in class. Anyway, is this normal development for a 4 year old or is he behind?

My cousin is having her 3rd child, a baby girl, and she is stuck on a name. Her 2 boys are Chase Grayson and Ryder Cole. Their last name is Moore. Any girls names suggested would help. (She likes names along the lines of her first two boys names). Thanks a lot!

Where can I find castor oil.. like the kind that you use to induce labor?
Please no personal comments on what you think about castor oil, or trying to induce labor. I've already talked to my doctor and she approved it. I just need to know where I can go to find it.
Thanks

my daughter was upset when we found it was boy but now shes happy that she is having a little brother.
when i walk in from work she will hug me kiss me and then kiss my stomache.
sometimes she'll walk up to me and ask what brother is doing. ill tell her he sleeping or something and then she pushed up on my stomach to make him move. she'll put her little hand on my stomache and keep pushing till he kicks back and then she'll leave me alone (for like an hour).

she tells everyone that the baby is gonna be hers and only hers, and she is always drawing things for brother or making things for brother.

my niece thinks babys come from wal-mart =] She asked me when i was going to walmart to buy the baby?

any one have any cute stories?

I'm 18-1/2 weeks pregnant. The morning sickness has gotten better, mainly due to my prescription for Zofran. I was given the medication at around 10 weeks because I couldn't keep anything down at all. I've attempted to stop taking it several times. Every time I try, I get really sick, if not the same day then the next. I can't focus on anything when this happens, and I'm always calling off work because I can't leave the bathroom. I spent most of the day today vomiting, and it was too late to take the medication anyway - it came back up undisolved. I feel horrible to keep medicating the problem, but the doctor says it's in my best interest. Now that I've felt my baby moving, I suppose I am less worried about taking it. Also, no one has actually used the word "hyperemesis," but I'm starting to wonder...Does anyone suffer from this and have to control it with medication? What was the outcome?

My son is getting ready to start school next year and I am getting so scared. I don't know how I'm going to get through it. He keeps telling me that he's ready to start school but I really don't want him to go. I know he has a whole year but it goes by so fast. I think he'll do good but I think I might have a panic attack

I have heard it is more tramatic getting them circumcised later but I really haven't had the chance to do it till now. Has anyone had a baby 6 months or older circumcised? Did anybody experience any problems from the baby being older when it was performed? Someone also told me the baby would have to be put under general anestisia cause he is so old, anybody know if this is true?

I am 11 weeks pregnant, and one of very good friends is doing her bachelorette party in Vegas. They are staying at a hotel where I would have to walk through the casino with all the smoke to get to the rooms. We all know that smoke damages the fetus, I just don't feel conforatble exposing my self to second hand smoke and risk my baby's life. I don't know if I am being over protective or if I am right?! So, I am thinking of staying on my own hotel smoke free for now. The only problem is that, it is Vegas and it is hard to avoid the smoke. Let alone to force the entire group of girls to hang out where I can only breath clean aitr, like the Bellagio.. I heard they are good about smoke free casino spots. I feel unconforatble thiking I may inconvenience them and spoil their fun to the point where I am thinking of not going, but that would break my friend's heart since I am in the wedding party and she attended my bachelorette party. Dunno. Am I being overprotective? PLEASE help!

I only give thumbs down when someone is being mean or if the answer has nothing to do with the question. But some people are giving thumbs down when others are just simply stating their own opinions. It's even more ridiculous when they give thumbs down for somebody's own personal experience on something. Stop being so childish.
