I had my baby 2 weeks ago. He was 9 lbs 5oz. My bleeding was heavy at first and has now slowed to something that resembles and medium menstrual cycle. However, the exception is that it seems that every time I breastfeed as soon as I stand up to put the baby back in his bed it feels like I've just wet myself! I go to the bathroom to find that I'm again having a heavy bleed. It slows down again within 30 minutes...is this normal? Is the bleeding being caused by uterus contracting while I'm feeding?

The other day while I was going pee I had this greenish snot looking thing come out. I've been leaking something when I stand up and there is alot of pressure down there. Today when I went there was this thing that looked like a piece of skin ( kind of like the stuff from when I had a miscarrage.) I'm 7 months pregnant so I know its not another miscarrage. Does anybody know what this is or why and what I might leaking? Should I call the doctor?

I'm a new mom and my son is 5 1/2 months old. He's a big boy weighing 18 lbs and 28 inches long. Here are my questions:

1. My doctor gave us the go ahead to start solids about 3 weeks ago. I fed him rice cereal with his 2nd bottle each day for a week. Then we started veggies. He seems to love solids so now he eats 1 tbsp of rice cereal in the morning and 1/2 jar of veggies at night. He has 5 bottles about 6 ozs each a day. Am I on the right track? How do I know when to start giving him more?

2. My son is also teething. There are some days when he doesn't want to drink as much formula as normal. Is this normal for a teething infant?

3. He was sleeping through the night fine but now is waking at about 2 or 3 am. I can get him back to sleep only i I put him in bed with my husband and I. Then he'll sleep til 8 or 9 am. Am I creating a bad habit or should I do what needs to be done to get him to sleep?

I think that's it for now...lol. Thanks for the help.

How do you teach a child what empathy is? (not sympathy). How do you raise your children to be empathetic people?

Yesterday my 13 month old daughter started grabbing something "imaginary" out of this little bucket she has and was giving it to me. I played along and pretended to eat it as if it was raisins or whatever. She loved that and kept pretending to give me more of the "nothing!" :)
Is that normal at her age?

I have a 6 month old son who is on breast milk. I once requested my husband to suck off my breast when it was very full and my son wasnt feeding. Ever since then, he has developed a strong liking for my milk and wants a feed every night. Is it ok for adults to drink breast milk regularly after finishing feeding the baby?

ok so we all know our boobs, especially nipples, change during pregnancy and eventually resume to their original size and color...
well my right nipple is lightening and getting smaller...like they were before my baby...but my left one hasn't changed at all! will it catch up or am i just going to have freaky nipples forever? lol
i don't know if this has anything to do with it but before i stopped breastfeeding i got engorged once. my left boob was more engorged than my right. significantly more. but, i never ran a fever or anything. i just thought maybe that damaged my left boob or something and has some how effected it returning to normal?
thanks

i like Stephanie, to derive from Steven, but how about the spelling Stevani . Too weird? or does it leave room for too much pronunciation confusion. please advise.

I would like my wife to attend parent/teacher conferences with me for my child who she is very close to.The problem is my exwife(mom) who DOES NOT want my wife to go "as she is not my sons mother".Can my ex "legally" keep my wife from going if i want her there?I have joint custody with my exwife and the only reason my ex does not want her there is bitterness and control issue.if this goes to court what will the judge say?

i thought, typically, women ovulate on avg 14 days into cycle. i'm wondering why people say you can still get pregnant during period (or right after)? has this happened to anyone?

My 12 month old son is so bored at home . I can't play with him 24/7 as I also work from home. What do I do to keep him occupied. He has begun walking and so I've bought him a bike that he could ride on. He also has toys that he could play with, but he is not the least interested in them. Suggest some activities or toys that would engage him for a longer stretch of time.Thanks, any advise is appreciated

set up an appointment yet with an OB. Thanks! Also I'm feeling jittery and just plain awful. :( *tear* I'm so nervous that my baby is dead and my body is reacting... I know it sounds nutty but I had a miscarriage last time so this time I'm extra super nervous.

If you are against abortion, then are you also against the death penality? Please support your answer rationally.
