I am just curious to know what other babies are saying. Are they saying sounds? If so, what sounds are they saying?

I have a daughter and she really doesn't listen. I have to tell her to do things over and over again. She's about to be three this month and I don't like to whip her, but because i'm not whipping her she's starting to talk back. I take things away from her for being disobedient and I have a 4 month old also, that cant get whippings, so when i whip her she thinks i'm being mean and i like the baby better than her. Any Advice?

My sons pediatrician and I have discussed our decision not to vaccinate and she has agreed to our decision. So everything is clear on her end. The problem is the nurses. Our insurance is with Kaiser Permanente, so I never know what nurse I am going to get as they pretty much are never the same. So each well-baby visit I get the same 20 questions about his vaccine records. So far I have just smiled and nodded my head when they go into what vaccines he needs to get "caught up on". Should I continue to just play along with them just to get them to stop talking about it or should I just tell them the pediatrician and I have discussed it? I really do not know how to deal with them.

My poor Jaden has a really bad cold. This is like is 3rd cold of his life =/ but this one is like the worst he's ever had. With the other 2 colds he's had I would give him infants Tylenol and Motrin, but it just seemed not to work. A family friend told me that giving him those meds isn't too healthy, that I should take a more natural route. She didn't go into detail, cuz she was in a hurry to get back to work. Anyways I was just wondering if anyone out there knows what natural things I can give my 18-month-old to help get better?

-Thanks-

I'm trying to come up with a story to help a kid get over her fear of sleeping alone. By understanding those things that scare other kids, I can help put her fears into perspective.

Any input will be appreciated.

My husband says I'm crazy for wanting to stop but I just can't handle the pain my DS is in afterwards. His last appointment he got 4 SHOTS!!! 2 in each leg!!! Anyway, what do you recommend and how do I break it to my doctor? Can he say no or drop me as a patient?

This started like 3 weeks ago out of no where he just start hitting people. Not real hard or anything just a hit. He is not hitting people with anything though just his hand. I personally don't think that he understands what he is doing. I tell him over and over .... That's a no no ... Don't do that .... That hurts .... Its not nice.... I have even spanked him on his hand for it and he will still turn and hit me back while crying himself? What do I do?

I was on Depo shot for years then switched to ortho tricyclen lo for about 1 year. Got off all forms of birth control last July 06. My periods have been very irregular since then, have suspected Pcos which means that I don't ovulate regularly. Went once for over 60 days without period one time and thought I was pregnant but all tests came out negative. Now I havent' had my period since July 2 07. I figured it was this time it was probably going to be the same scenario and along about last Friday my breast began feeling heavy and tender. This was not unusually as my breasts get tender a couple of days before my period begins normally. Saturday I decided to take an equate pregnancy test and it came up a very faint positive. The positive line was definitely pink but was thin and off center. I thought that maybe the test was defective so I took another one the next morning and received the same result. Both tests came out of the same box. Has anyone else had this experience?

I am lucky enough not to started the vomiting yet, but am 'dry vomiting' where nothing comes out, but I feel like I need to throw up and all my insides strain each time (sorry if TMI!) is this normal? Is this the start of the full on nausea stage?

Thanks in advance for the advice ('',)

Why do you think it's important that kids have regular house chores and what are appropriate things to ask a 12 and 14 year old to do to help around the house. Both are boys, but that shouldn't make a difference.

I'll be 18 in 3 months, how do I start acting like a real adult without acting like a child?
I really want to be an adult, I was so exited for this moment, I was so happy, when I start watching anime and pokemon, I feel like I'm acting like a child. Adults are supposed to be more serious about the future, like becoming a doctor.They are supposed to work on their own. Find real jobs. Go to college.

I want to start acting like an adult, but how? How does someone act like a child? I want to grow up.

I will take prenatal vitamins, exercise, and eat very healthy. I don't smoke or drink. What else should I do/not do? Is there anything my husband should do/not do to ensure he's in the best shape? If you have experienced this, please let me know. It has been so much harder emotionally than I would have thought... Last time we got pregnant on the first try. Thank you...

I dont. Simply b/c when i put her in there, I hate to see her head all in that bent uncomfortable position, but I cant seem to shake the feeling that using the base is a bit more safe. I have the base installed, so I place my baby in back of the passenger seat. Is this safe? I always see ppl driving around like that, or is it idea that i place her without the base in the center of the car? or should i just use the base, and add pillows or cushion to keep her head in place???

So many ?'s, which is safest?

I am 26 weeks pregnant and something is wrong with my eyes. It started on Friday, I was on my way home from work and my eyes became blurry, I made it home, but when I got there my eye sight got worse, I then layed down for a little while hoping to feel better, which I did for a few minutes, then I got a terrible head ache. I slept for about 3 hours and my eyes were better but my head was still hurting a little. My next dr appointment is on the 11th. Has this happen to anyone before? Do you think I should see a Dr before then, is it cause to be concerned?

This is my second pregnancy, I have a 4 year old daughter.
