He used to sleep 3-5 hours at a stretch. However, now he is always hungry since he's gotten so big. He doesn't eat when he's not hungry so I know that it's not comfort eating. Anyone have any ideas? Do I simply keep up the every 2-3 hour 4-6 ounce feedings until he's four months old? Do I ignore the Ped and give him really watery rice cereal? Anyone with experience?

She used to go from 7 to 7-ish but since she had her last lot of immunisations 4 weeks ago she has started waking a couple of times in the night. Last night she woke on the hour every hour. My husband says don't pick her up, let her cry herself back to sleep. I know he's probably right but can anyone help with more specific instructions please? I am breastfeeding and she has started solids on the advice of my health visitor.

Hi dear parents out there (and other friends). Since I sincerely appreciate your job as parents (I'm an early childhood teacher), I would like to know your thoughts, opinions, etc. on the following quote.
"Parenthood: That state of being better chaperoned than you were before marriage." ~ Marcelene Cox

Let me know how it made you feel!
Oops, that's not a question ... let me rephrase ... How did it make you feel?
(Ah, much better. LOL)

I have a seven week old biracial daughter. I am caucasian, father is african american. She looks exactly like me, pale complexion, blue eyes and reddish brown hair. The father knows he is the father, no qustions there, but what do i tell everyone that cannot possibly conceive the fact that he is the father? Even the delivery room nurse told my sister in the hall at the hospital that he couldn't be the dad not knowing she was my sister. I know it shouldn't matter what others think, I have been blessed with a healthy daughter but how can i respond to these offhanded remarks?

I am 5 months pregnant and soooo excited .... I can't wait for the baby ....

But I have a problem ... tell me something, if the husbands are there at childbirth, are they actually allowed in the delivery room? Because I know my hubby will be there on that day, but I don't want him to be in the OT. I don't want anyone from my family there. I want to go through it alone and spend some time alone with my kid, before anyone see her/him. I guess I am being selfish.

Anyone faced this? How do I tell him ? BTW, I don't have any problems with my husband. I love him a lot.

My doctor said that's our next step since Chlomid didn't work and if I don't get pregnant this month, it means Femara didn't work either. I was wondering what the chances are then with this procedure.

She's 21 months old and has had a fever since yesterday. She's been off her food - except milk and occasionally cheerios - and is more clingy and tired than usual, but otherwise no real symptoms. I've been giving her nurofen for children to help keep her temperature down... should I call the doctor or wait and see?

My 12 year old almost 13 has final admitted that she had oral sex and swallowed a guys semen. Its her 13 year old boyfriends if you can call it that they do not hang out at all after school or on the week end. But I know the boy he rarely interacts with my daughter at all they are friends but just barely. Hes not a bad kid but its because of this that I am upset and I really do not know what to do or how to handle this.

She is my first daughter. I do not think I want to press charges but I do not know the law. We live in Ontario. I think I am just here for advice I found out only hours ago. What happens now? And do I need to report this by the law? Can I go to jail if I do not? I don't want to get this kid in trouble but I should probably talk to his parents and I would like to know all my options.

My daughter has been waking up 3-4 times a night for the past few days, and tonight I noticed her diaper rash was getting worse (so I'm assuming that's what waking her up.) Is there anything I can do to help sooth the rash throughout the night to help her sleep? I'm assuming that when she wakes up it is from wetting her diaper, and bothering the sores. Also, I think she is teething too. Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

(Been 1cm since last wk) Ive been having BH all day today but for the past few hours they have gotten more painful and closer together. They still dont come in a pattern, but I get one no more than 30 minutes from the last. Should I wait til they get 5 minutes apart to do go to the hospital? What should I do?

What do you think?

I think that when I am a parent, I will push my children to do everything so they will have as many roads in life as possible. I don't think its fair to just let your children do what they want or they might end up useless.

Hi!!! I am due in about 4 wks and someone asked me where I was gonna give birth and I told them, Burnaby Hospital. She said she refused to go there 9 yrs ago when she had her daughter, I'm assuming because she has heard some bad things about the facility, but she won't tell me because she doesn't want to scare me. Has anyone heard or experienced anything THAT awful that they would advise against giving birth there? And is there anything I can do about it? My Dr. is based in Burnaby and I believe she ONLY delivers at Burnaby Hospital. Please help!!!

My 3 yr old son and I are going to Disney world in October 2008 with his Grandma and other family members (cousins, aunts,and uncles) for a week. Its a big family vacation. I am trying to find ways for him to earn money for his trip (his own spending money). So far we are collecting aluminum cans and he loves to squish them and he has fun. He enjoys earning money for his piggy bank knowing its going towards disney world. Any ideas of things he can do?
