my son can not fall asleep at night he has been like this ever since a toddler.there are times he is up past midnight on school nights i know he is not getting the sleep he needs.he is on the go always busy,busy,you would think he would be tired.he is a water drinker rarely drinks pop so it is not a cafine issue.he says he just cant fall asleep.we read at night,we tried a sm radio with soft music.he is adhd but his dr said the med is worn off by time he gets home from school,so that has nothing to do with it.ant suggestions would be helpful

I've given her tyelnol, also I'ver given her the teething ring. I have tried a few other things, but she just wants me to constantly hold her I can barely set her down for more than a min. I know its not good to always hold your baby and I dont but she is just miserable I feel so bad!

An aquaintance i have in my life has a 2 yr old kid and suffers from depression ALOT. She is a single mother of her son and not physically able to do some things that you and i would be able to do, cause of her disability from birth. She will correct him and tell him "no" and he laughs at her and continues to do exactly what she told him not to do. She is at her whits end with him, but she doesnt want to spank him, she has never believed in it. Because she suffers from depression she gets aggravated alot easier than normal and she will sometimes at 5 o clock in the afternoon put him to bed, but he does go to sleep. But is it wrong in anyones eyes for her to put him to bed and basically just "get rid of him" when she is aggravted. I sometimes look at it as her putting her responsibility off and not wanting to deal with it and i feel you cant do that as a parent, other than that she is a great mother. What can she do about his behavioral problems?...Any one got any discipline techniques

And....somethimes a case of hives. On predinsone, but still wonders if anyone knows of a holistic or natur-pathic method of relieving the itching--hydorcortozine is off as is anything that can absorb into the baby's system....thanks!

i will have my baby on friday by induction and i still have christmas shopping to do and i want to breastfeed also so i couldn't leave him with someone all day so when do you think it is okay for him (and a new first time mom) to go on outings. and even to visit family etc, just in general get out of the house? or at how old did you start taking your new baby out?

The woman on here who is constantly criticizing women for their choice to formula feed. The woman with the accounts;
Jorvice, Kanter, Klover, (and now using Dolly) and all the other ones she has ..
(her main account is Illyana's Mommy)
Is there any way to prevent her from answering questions on here? Because quite frankly, I am SICK of asking a question and getting a response from her telling me how ugly my daughter is! It has become harassment!
Is there any way to get rid of this wicked woman all together?
(I've blocked EVERY account she has ever used to answer my questions, but she's creating new accounts on a daily basis, and the things she says is absolutely horrible!)
Can someone please tell me how to block her ISP or something? so that ALL of her accounts can be blocked at one time?
(oddly, this woman is harassing me, and I breastfeed!)

hate having his fingers dirty? for the past few months he always puts his hands out to be cleaned if there is anything on them at all. food, dirt, specks of anything and he won't put his hands down until we clean them off or we tell him to lick them off. If he ever finds any little piece of anything on the floor he always picks it up and takes it to the trash. I rearanged the living room the other day and he was trying to put stuff back to where it was before! Have you heard of toddlers doing this?

I had several bottles of prescription pain pills from various things that have happened over the past several years- I'm afraid to take pain pills, but they were always prescribed, so I always filled the prescriptions just in case I might need them, but I rarely did, leaving a basket on the top shelf in my bathroom with about 10 bottles all still full of pain medication.

I also keep bandaids and antibiotic ointment in the same basket because if I don't my kids get the bandaids out and waste them. They can't reach the basket, and that's a handy spot for me to remember where they are. I noticed when I went to get a bandaid a few weeks ago that some of the bottles had been opened- the pills spilled out into the bottom of the basket.

I didn't think much of it- figured they popped open when the basket got bumped or something. Today, I needed another bandaid- and the spilled out pills were all gone. I think my 16-year-old babysitter has been stealing them. I flushed the rest. Now what?

I have never had a pap done before, (please don't stress that I should have already gotten one done, I know this) I am 20 years old, and married. My husband and I want to start having children. We were hoping to start at the end of November early December of this year (aka right away). I was wondering, because depending on my period and the best times to conceive we only have certain weeks we can do that without having to wait till January. I scheduled an appointment to get a pap done around the 12th (dec), I was wondering if we should wait to get pregnant till after I have my pap and wait another month, or is it ok to start before? I want to make sure everything will be ok, but timing wise for the best time to conceive would make it so we would have to wait a month after the pap. I know we could wait, but we wanted to start right away. Plus I read that pap's during preg's are usually good. I just want to know if I should wait till after the pap, or if it's ok to before hand.

What is everyone's view on a step-parent physically disciplining a child? I personally think it's not a step-parent's place. For example, a step parent slapped a child in their mouth.

Or would it be more ethical to let kids decide their own religion once they're old enough? forcing your kid to go to church with you is exactly the same as brainwashing... I don't think you should choose a religion until you've studied them all and made an educated decision.
