My daughter has been sucking her tongue in such a manner as if sucking her mother's breast since she was born. She is now 7yrs old and when she sleeps, her tongue still comes out. I usually force the her mouthh to close up. How can she stop this permanently?

We are having a new baby and my son is pretty excited [from what I gather] about it already. He'll be two in February and the new baby is due in May.

He's in a few playgroups with younger children and already understands the idea of 'gentle' and 'please share.' I always try to make him feel special by telling him since he's older he gets to show all the younger kids how to behave, share, and play with the cool toys. I try to make it as much about HIM as possible. He's really good around the younger kids.

I'm also getting him pumped about the new baby by telling him about his new big bed. [He's in a convertible crib that's now a toddler bed.] I'll tell him about teaching the new baby all the cool things he already knows how to do. He’s my ‘big helper’ and always will be. He’s very independent for his age.

So, how did you prepare your first for the new baby? How did your first child react? What else can I be doing to make sure he is comfortable with it?

Thanks!!

I'm a teen, age 17+. Sometimes I have auto sex. Now I'm fed up with it. Now I have a desire
to have sex with a girl. My friends have told me that if I used a condom each time that
would be safe. It shows that there is nothing wrong having sex with many girls. But the
thing is I'm afraid in actually not to have sex but what do you think of the diseases?
such as AIDS. If you have had sex with many girls or may be boys are you sure about your
health. Are you confident that you didn't get any diseases? Is that really safe to use
condoms when having sex? If your answer is Yes, does it hints that is is OK to have sex with
girls without limiting for a one partner?
Can we get diseses when we ejaculate? Is it safe/ok to ejaculate? I love very much to do
that but I haven't dont it yet.

Thank you.

I am 16 and 22 weeks pregnant. I am getting to the point in my pregnancy where I am sick of refering to my unborn child by pet names and would like to settle on three or four options for names (for both sexes - I may ask the sex at my 24 week ultrasound). I have searched various baby name books and mutliple websites, and have managed to narrow it down to ten names for each sex. However, I have a strong preference for some names and I'm trying to work out which ones sound better with the names Lynn (my mother's name) and Oliver (my father's name). I have decide that my parent's names will become a lasting tribute - I'm orphaned and to me, this legacy has become paramount, especially in ensuring my child has some form of attachment to its grandparents. Anyway, my top ten options are as follows, in order of preference, and I would appreciate any feedback and would like ideas on how to incorporate Lynn and Oliver with the names below:
