I am newly married to an incredible woman and she has a 2 1/2 year old son who refuses to go to sleep without her laying next to her. She does not see this as a bad thing. Any advice you have will help.

This is a nasal aspirator thing from Sweden not yet sold by retail in the US. People swear by it for clearing babies and toddlers nasal congestion. You can order online but apparently some pediatricians offices are carrying it. I'd like one right away, any help is appreciated!

I just took the 4th pill today (I didn't take all 4 pills) and then I started spotting. Could I be pregnant or is this normal for missing that many pills? I am on week 3 in my pack according to when i would be fertile was the first day I missed my pill. I got pregnant right away last time when I stopped taking the pill... so could I be pregnant now with the spotting (almost like a light period)?

I think she is still a bit young, although she is smart and mature for her age. My 11 year old thinks we should tell her because "she needs to know". What do you think is the right age?

The mc I had on Sat. night has been on my mind non stop. I looked up Fenugreek during pregnancy and read that it can cause mc because it causes your uterus to contract and the placenta and uterine lining can begin to shed causing the baby to not get oxygen and nutrients anymore. I feel terrible because I was taking it everyday to increase my milk supply because I am breast feeding my 6 month old. I stopped taking it when I found out I was pregnant but I didn't know I was until I was about 8 weeks along. The ultrasound shows that the baby stopped developing at 8 weeks so by the time I stopped taking it, it was already too late. Has anyone had this happen? Has anyone else heard of causing a mc from taking meds that you weren't supposed to take while pregnant. I feel horrible!

my 18th birthday is a two weeks away, and i don't have a clue how to celebrate it.

most of my friends aren't 18; so i can't go to a club. i don't want to throw a party at my house, because that doesn't seem big enough for such a milestone.

any ideas?

My husband and I have been trying to choose a baby name (girl) that we both like. I love the name Riley for a girl and he wants the baby to have my middle name Michelle and while he likes the name Riley, he wants a different spelling of it because he says that R-I-L-E-Y seems like a boyish spelling. What do you think of the name and do you think we should use an alternate spelling?

I need advice... my daughter is in pre-k this year. They always ask parents to bring things in for special days, field trips, the halloween parties, ect. So my problem is two moms in particular always "takes over" the event or sign up sheet. The teacher seems oblivious to the fact that the same 2 moms are doing all of the parent involvement things leaving little if any room for the rest of us to help out. These two moms have already "steaked their claim" to being in the classroom during the Halloween party to help out (and obviously there can only be so many parents there at a time). So how do the rest of us moms that want to participate and help out get a cupcake (or a word) in when these other moms do every thing they can to make sure they are doing it all?

The name is irish, after my husband's heritage. The middle name Brenna is after my mother who's name is Brenda. Brenna is the irish form. Also I spelled Raegan in a different way because I like it better. Most spellings are Regan or Reagan. Which do you prefer?

My cycle is normally just 23 days...I'm now on day 26 and no period! I know it's only 2 full days late, but I've been trying so long to get pregnant----on one hand, I want to take the test and know now, on the other, I'll be crushed if it's negative. I think I would rather wait and take one when it will be really accurate. I know many of the tests say they are accurate up to 3 days before your period is due, but I'd like to hear from people with real experience...was your home pregnancy test accurate after just 2 days late, or should I give it a few more days??

I have two preschool aged children (ages 3 and 4), I have been sending them to preschool for three hours a day. I have been having my Grandmother take them because I babysit three other children from my house. Well, my Grandmother isn't going to be able to take them anymore (she is pretty sick and her van's motor blew up)...so now I have no way for them to go to school anymore.
I feel like a bad mom. It seems almost Taboo not to send your kids to preschool. Is it bad that they aren't going? I am figuring that I can teach them myself, but don't have the first clue how to start. They are both pretty smart and are learning their letters but my son needs to start to learn how to write. Any suggestions? I feel so bad that I can't send them to school anymore. They both really enjoyed it and are going to miss it. I feel like a horrible mother. I just don't know how I am going to teach them and watch three other babies at the same time!

I loaned my daughter's bassinette to a family member. My daughter is 2 now and will be my last child, I can't ever have anymore.

The bassinette is the same one I used with her sister and I had planned to keep it for them to use with their dolls because it holds sentimental value to me. I loaned it to this family member because she couldn't afford a crib right away. I told her when she took it to let me know when she was done with it and I'd have my husband pick it up.

She gave it away to a co-worker. When I asked about it, she said "Oh, I didn't think you'd need it anymore since you can't have anymore kids."

Is it unreasonable of me to think that she should have asked me first before giving it away?
