I am pregnant with my 3rd child. I am wanting to brestfeed, I have breastfeed my other kids but never used the freezer bags/or stored breast milk before. How does that work? I know they have certain breastmilk storage bags that you can buy, but how long can you store them before they expire (go bad), is it safe? How do you thaw out the milk? I would really apprecite info on this. With my other kids i always produced ALOT of milk but never stored it. And I want to breastfeed this baby as long as i can to help with formula cost etc. Also Cloth diapers. Are they good? What about with newborns? Do they leak? please info on this. I have never used them before but am really looking into it.

Hello. I have a two and a half year old daughter and a 6 year old son. I've been having a particular issue with my DS for the past few weeks now. He developed a curiosity about my daughter's diapers. He'll sometimes stop playing and watch me change DD or he'll unfold a loose diaper and look it over. He recently came to me and told me he wanted to wear diapers too. I told him he did when he was a baby but he says he doesn't remember. He's been asking me if he could try them for the last few days and I'm not sure what to do. Is this normal? Is this just some kind of phase? Are there any other parents out there who had the same problem? I'm not sure whether I should let him try wearing diapers for the sake of trying them especially since I don't think DD's will fit him. What should I do?

No fever or anything.
Same diapers she has always been in.
Hasn't been exposed to anything new.
Been going on for 2 days.
Took her to doctor. Doctor said it could be anything... but not to worry. Some help that was.

I've been to a few different high schools. The one that I attend at present is a lower decile level than the previous. Meaning that the parents of the students don't earn as much money.

Anyway, my Mum is a single parent and I have a younger brother. We both do quite well. I have a Macbook laptop, a video Ipod, two expensive cellphones, a pure breed puppy and nice clothes. I try to be modest and I think I deserve all of it because I do have a part time job and get very good grades at school. I also participate in a range of activities and volunteer.

I don't brag about what I have but people still call me spoiled. It's coming to the end of the year and those who are attending University next year are starting to panic and worry about how they'll pay for their fees. I'm lucky that my parents started a trust fund for me.

I don't mean to come across like this. By no means have I had a sheltered life. How do I help them see that I'm not really like this?

We've been trying for almost a year now, my cycles range from 20-40 days. I also have hyperthyroidism (untreated) which could be the cause. However, i was in this same state when i got pregnant with my first child, we just weren't trying.
Is their still hope? I'm beginning to think that i'm only going to be blessed with one.

I had unprotected sex a few times, each for about two minutes, in the first seven days of taking the pill. I supposedly ovulated (or was supposed to) on the 8th day, so is that enough time for the pill to prevent ovulation?

so I am not on the pill or any other thing to keep me from getting prego, but I wanted my bf so bad I just let him pull out. I never got pregnant, is there really sperm in the precum? I ask because playboy claims its free of all sperm that the precum that seeps out is to help lubricate, does anyone know for sure?

I was given percocet by my doctor for some stomach pains I have been having. I havent been hungry lately and havent been eating as much. When taking percocet do you have to eat before taking the pill?

My son seems hungry a lot. He eats like every hour to 2 hours. I gave him a fingertip of baby food and he liked it. I'm wanting to give him rice cereal because it'll be easier on his stomach. Any sugestions or advice?

My 12 week old baby boy isn't gaining as much weight as he should. He is only gaining about 4 ounces a week. He's in the 10th percentile for weight, but the 90th for height. He's very long and skinny.

At first, we thought I didn't have enough milk, so I pumped constantly after nursing, went on Reglan, and nursed as much as possible. He still only gained 4 ounces a week.

Next my lacation consultant had me supplement with 4 ounces of formula a day in hopes of getting him to gain more. He's still only gaining 4 ounces a week.

What do I do? The pedetrician promotes breastfeeding, so that's good, but alot of people are telling me to go straight formula. I really don't want to though. We got in for another weight check next week. I hope they don't want me to supplement more formula.

He is a very active baby. He never stops moving, and only sleeps at night. He doesn't sleep during the day. Could he just be burning off all his calories?

I know a child who is young around 8 1/2 who is going through a rough time, his mom and dad are splitting up and he feels the pain deeply. During the day he is very compliant and does well but at night around 6:30 or so he gets very fresh and arguementative to his mother and he also gets very irritable and seems to like testing his moms patience. He gets very sassy with his speech and also mouths off.

My question is what can I do to encourage this child and share the love of God with him? And what can I do to make a difference in his life?
