My 18 month old clearly has a sore throat - he has difficulty swallowing and is suffering, poor little man :( Apart from Calpol which he is having four hourly, is there anything else I might have in the house at this ungodly hour that I could give him to help?

From a Christian website: http://www.foundationsforfreedom.net/Topics/Parenting/Parenting07_Discipline.html

Neighbors sometimes get concerned when they hear your child screaming. We have trained our children, especially the loud criers, to cover their mouths when they cry. It works!
Choose to discipline in private places that absorb sound. If you live in apartments, flats or condos, choose the room away from the halls and with more insulation like a rug. You might cover an air vent for the brief moment. Walk-in closets are great. Take him to a private place and discipline him. Sometimes it is helpful to take the child for a walk and hold his hand tightly so that it hurts.
Rulers break. They cost money. Switches have a nice swoosh sound. ...the rod can be struck against the backs of hands. Tell the child to place his hands down on a flat surface. The pain is equally distributed across the hand rather than focusing in on one spot. Spanking through thick pants is hard because o

i getting alot of hell just for asking a question on yahoo answers. i'm pro-choice and i thought this was the place to get answers to my questions. but i was looking for a more detailed answer not the half a$$ and retardly repeated answer. but a more broke down detail with real reason baking it up. i thought as adults ppl could handle it but i guess not why is that?
if you are not old enough by now to know have to give an opinion and reasons for this opinion without fighting then need serious help and need to grow up and learn to be mature

I have extreme, constant pressure in my abdomen, like the baby is pushing downward. It isn't too painful, just really uncomfortable. I feel like I'm full all the time, especially in the top of my uterus, even if I haven't eaten. I've been getting bad shortness of breath; I go up one flight of stairs and feel out of breath for a good couple of minutes - I've never had that before. My lower back is killing me. I feel pressure when I pee. And I've been having painful Braxton Hicks contractions.
I don't think it's preterm labor... are these feelings normal for 28 weeks?
I've already been through one pregancy before but I don't remember feeling this way until a couple of weeks before I delivered. According to the doc's due date, I still have 2 months!

I'm trying to stick with names that are Irish or English in nature. So far I'm considering the first names of either Cassidy (meaning clever) or Cory (meaning from the round hill). I'm totally unsure as to a middle name or last name, but I'm leaning toward the last names of either Quinn (intelligent) or Grey (grey-hair).

For middle names I'm up in the air on quite a few... Fay (raven), Garret (hard/bold spear), Kegan (a thinker; fiery), Delaine (from the elder tree grove), Finn (fair), Finnegan (fair), Harper (harpist/minstrel), Silas (forest/woods), Simon (listen), Travis (crossroads/tollgate), Jack (God is gracious).

I'm curious to hear which combos people like the most. Thanks a bunch in advance :D

has this happened much before, picking out what you thought was the perfect name, but then holding the baby and it just seems wrong?

and does anyone have any explanation as to how someone might pick one name over the other once theyve seen the baby? one of my cousins was going to be jodie or brooke... and my aunt rocked the baby for an horu thinking jodie or brooke... and she chose brooke. which was the best idea, but i wonder how she did it...

any other thoughts on this?

When you are in labor that if you aren't shaved "down there". That the doctors will laugh and you and have to do it themselves? My friend told me this. I really don't believe her she was pregnant and had a miscarriage but never actually went through child birth.

My girl was pretty much potty trained, she would always let us know when she needed to go, until she went to the store and one of the automatic sensors went of and scared her very much, now she is afraid to go anywhere even at home is a struggle, and she is now having constant accidents.

I am around 6 weeks pregnant. I have had 2 positive home tests and am going to the doctor on Friday. I wanted to start taking prenatal vitamins (had a recent miscarriage) but I am getting mixed answers on whether I should take them yet or not. I was told they can cause a miscarriage if there is too much iron? I live in Canada and bought Life brand prenatal vitamins...has anyone tried these? Should I start taking them or wait for the doctor's ok? Thanks for your help
