Pregnancy & Parenting - 13 October 2007

As far as I know Dreft and Ivory Snow do not have High Efficiency formulas. I'm not sure what my other options are. Are there any?

Why? And make it something they could actually have as a pet. Lions do not count.

I'm not pregnant just thinking.

Not sure about how my hub actually feels about this name but..

For a girl:

Natalie Jean -
I wanted to use Nora but he doesnt like it, I wanted Nora because its a varient of my sisters name Noreen. And Jean is my middle name, passed down from my aunt and grandma. I wanted to appreciate how close me and my sister were, so i used an N name and my middle name.

For a boy he picked the first name (wont change the spelling so do NOT ask us to)

Jaxon Isaac -

I like Isaac, he likes Jaxon. But I would probably call him Jack instead of Jax. But like I said do ask to change the spelling.

If you want to know what we would name our 2nd, ill probably post that later.

Grrr!!! My 19-month old has these tantrums! We can't go anywhere...church, quiet shopping stores, or restaurants. I'm so envious when I see people with their babies or lil kids his exact age who can at least sit for 30 minutes somewhere! Is this normal for his age? Nothing works. He can't sit at a restaurant table without destroying the salt/sugar bowl thingy! When you take something away from him, he screams loud! Today my hubby lightly smacked his hands after he refused to stop smashing the bread at a restaurant! He hit my hubby back!!! The firm word of NO does not help at all!! He is an angel at daycare, but comes home and immediately throws tantrums!!! I'm fed up and hate even taking him anywhere!!!! Is this our fault of just part of the normal parenting/child process because everyone i know has very mild mannered children. He was slightly colic from month 1-2 months and that was HELLLLL!! I'm so depressed he's like this...should I be?

After perusing the Baby Names q's for a couple of days, I got to wondering how people in the working world might judge a woman who had some of the trendier names that seem to be very popular. My study was extremely non-scientific, and I mean no offense to people that have these names. But check out these reactions to the names "Kayleigh," "Kylie" and "Cyndee". Here's how "Kayleigh" and "Kylie" fared when they tried to get a management level job: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AkGZ_yscHwNCMF2oG_pxpaXty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20071011081824AAHBSpt
If you believe these answerers, "Savannah" may be slotted for a particular kind of "career." http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AlvXfBjW7hP2IQ.569BTxNPty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20071011091216AAzUsmH

From the 15 year-old's perspective.
Not to have a b**** fest here, but do you, as a parent, or soon to be parent, understand what we have to put up with these days, as compared to your childhood? I come home, after my 8 hours at school, trying my best to get good grades, taking 2 AP classes. I put in my 40 hours a week, just like you do, and then some. I still have to write papers, study, and do all the things it takes to attain that 3.7 GPA. So after I walk my 1.5 miles home, I may not feel like:

-Taking out the Trash
- Cooking dinner
- Empty the dishwasher

(Not to say that I won't ever do it; I'm just tired, I want a break!)
I rarely am even thanked or congratulated for how hard I try in school today. It's like sometimes parents fail to recognize how hard kids do try. And yes-- to say mention that they are happy I'm trying to my best DOES make a difference.

Matteo is an Italian boys name. It means gift of God and is pronounced mah-teh-oh. I thought it sounded like a masculine name...I want a masculine sounding name for when hes older but something cute to call him when hes little, so I would call him Matty when hes little. Do you like the name??
I also dont like Matt for short...do you think people would stick with calling him Matteo? or I was thinking even Teo for short would be kinda cool when hes older.
And what are some good middle names to go with Matteo?

My baby is going to be 1yrs old on Tuesday and she still screams. When she was 3 weeks to about 6 months she was colic. Eventually, she got over being colic, however she was still screaming. She screams when I change her diaper, she screams at me when I am feeding her. She screams as you put her in the car seat. When you stroll her around outside and stop for a few, she screams. If you don't let her crawl around and explore where she want to, she screams. She is driving me crazy. Does anyone know when this is going to stop? This is my second child and my first never acted this way.

What is the reason to throw it away? Is it a loss of nutrients or is it because of of spoilage of the milk used in it or none of the above?
Please don't answer if you're only making a guess. I'd really like to know why. Thanks in advance!

My husband is not one to push. When I met him he said he never wanted to get married and never wanted to have kids. For the next 9 months i NEVER brought up marraige or kids and he ended up proposing to me...he also said, he was happy that I didn't ever pressure him.
We've now been married for a little over a year. I am 24, he is 34. I want a baby soooo badly. He...well, he keeps saying stuff like, "When you're pregnant..." or he points to a pregnant woman and says, "That will be you one day." or he writes to his friend who just had a baby, "Can't wait to have one of our own someday."
I quit smoking and drinking and started dieting and exercising. I am ready...but I don't want to pressure him...I think he wants to have a baby, but is he just saying that to keep my hopes up? What makes me say that is that I told him I wanted a baby when I was 24 a few years ago....well, now that can't happen and he doesn't ever bring it up?

I feel like that information is personal to my child and I am not really comfortable telling others. Feel like it makes it easy for others to place judgement on the parents and therefore disrespects my child.
What do you think?
What would you politely say to people when they ask?

BTW, I am including my in-laws with this....they would tell the world if they knew.

(I have not adopted a child yet......I am preparing)

she was Lactose intolerant at 12 months since she would get rashes really bad after milk. But her poop is still runny and always soft. Maybe 2x has she had a normal stool. My mom now thinks she is allergic to glueten as this would explain it...but she is in the 100% for size so there is no growth development. Is it normal for a child of this age to have such soft stools still?

My son is 2 1/2 and has been going potty for the last two weeks and doing very good. He has an accident once a day which is good only cause he just got circumsized 2 months ago, which the doctor says that he is doing good knowing that he recently had the surgery done. I want to start planning on him to wear underwear at night and at nap time. I am not going to start it right away because I want him to be completely potty trained before I start him for naps and bed time but I figure that I would ask ahead of time so I can put some thoughts into how I am going to start it. I had thought of buying one those mattress pad covers to put on his bed. I am having him go potty before he goes to bed and I stop giving him something to drink 2 hours before bed. Just wanted to see if there is anyother suggestions that I may need.

My little boy (3rd) is happy to use the loo for a wee but still wears nappies due to the fact that he gets upset when he needs a poo. He crosses his legs to stop it coming out. There isn't a physical reason to stop him going and he is almost constantly pooing as obviously it needs to come out but he's not having it. Have tried the stickers/sweets/loads of fuss route but it's not working and worrying about the little chap as he really gets in to a state. Have given him a very mild laxative at suitable dose in order to releave him of the hard tummy but obviously this is just a short term solution. Any ideas from anyone who's been there? It isn't a fear of the toilet issue either (he loves the loo)
