I have one son named Jacob and the other Alexander. If I have another boy, I need help with names since my husband and I can't agree. Thanks!

I have room in the nursery, I just can't decide if it is worth it to spend the money on a rocker. I am not sure if I will need it with my baby. How often do you all use the one's that you have or if you do not have one - do you wish you would have bought one? Thanks

My name is Emelin, husbands is Ivan, 8 year old boy, Evan, 6 year old twin girls, Isabel and Ingrid, 3 year old girl, Emily. It must start with E or I because we have a little tradition going obviously. I've just run out of names there aren't alot of girls names that start with E or I. What do you suggest? Thanks in advance!!

Well my husband and I just learned that we are going to be having a girl. We are very excited but have been arguing over names. We both agreed on Samantha for the middle name, seeing that babys godmother's name is samantha. We really need a first name that sort of flows with Samantha.

Its very helpful if you could think of some names, but not Elizabeth seeing that every other girl in our family is Elizabeth.

The last 3 weeks i have had constant nausea and vomiting. It gets worse when i eat food cooked in oil or if i drink alcohol (half a cup of alcopop will make me ill). I have also been getting stomache pains and headaches.
I have always had irregular periods due to the pill i am on and can go for months without having any at all. My last period was at the start of september. During this time i have gained a stone in a week and then lost the stone again very quickly. I have taken 4 pregnancy tests in the last 3 weeks and they are all negative. I have tried eating smaller meals, but it doesn't seem to help. Is it possible that my pregnancy tests are wrong? Or could it be something else such as a stomache ulsor?

I've heard one of the ways to prevent SIDS is to not have a blanket or pillow in the crib with the baby. However, I've heard a lot of people say (on here and from friends/family) to wrap your baby up tight in a blanket to help him/her sleep. The tightness of the blanket reminds the baby of being in the womb and comforts the baby. I'm not trying to criticize anyone, I'm just trying to get information. It seems like these two things contradict each other, am I right? Or is there a safe way to wrap your baby to help the baby sleep that will still prevent SIDS caused by the effects of blankets? Thanks everyone.

Where can I buy (in UK) old fashioned baby fork and spoon that looks like its bent inward when seen from above . I don't know how to explain but the spoon or fork bend around so that it is easier for baby to hold the fork in his fist and feed himself.

I used to have a set when I was a baby but I can't find them anywhere for my baby. He's desperate (to the point where he won't let me feed him with a fork or spoon now) to feed himself, only 16 months old, thanks

My son is 3yrs old and still has a dummy and snuggles (blanket) to go to bed with every night.
I really would like to get rid of his dummy completely, but he relies on it to get to sleep, as cant sleep without it. I don't mind him keeping his snuggles.
I have so called "lost" his dummy for ages and the state he gets into just breaks my heart, is there an easy way to do this?
Anyone had the same problem? How did you overcome this?

If its once they have all their teeth, what age is that?
Nothing really helps calm my 11 month old & when shes got it bad its unbearable.She turns into a different baby, bad tempered, cries almost non stop & bites into my skin very hard. Im not going to discipline her because i know its her teeth hurting her, i just feel frustrated that i can't stop it. I don't want her to grow up any faster but will be glad when the teething stage has ended, but when will this be?

Like taking them to bed, and playing with fashion dolls and dolls houses? Even though they are mature in other ways.
