I am starting to worry I am doing my son a huge diservice. My 10 month old is still mostly just breastfeeding with very few solids. The main reasons for this is that previously we were living with my inlaws and going all the way upstairs and fixing food and working around thier mess and such made it difficult to get the solids going. We moved about a month ago into a small apartment. We have not gotten a kitchen table yet (inlaws promised thier old one, but havent recieved new one yet) anyhow so with out the table it is hard to get the baby sat down and eating. I do offer several foods, different baby foods and some table foods- but he never seems interested. At dinner time I do put him in his walker that has a tray and give him some dinner and some times he eats. Anyhow he is still mostly just eating the breastmilk. Once we have the table I do plan on offering more meals and less nursing sessions. But is he okay still just having the breastmilk? he seems satisfied and weighs average.

I am 37 weeks and 4 days pregnant today and i had sex yesterday afternoon and this morning, and i had cramps last night and some were 5 minutes and some were 7 minutes and some were 8 apart. then this mornin i had cramps too and noticed a small wet spot on the bed and im not sure if it could be discharge or my water leaking and my stomach got hard and i put 2 fingers on top of my belly and saw that my stomach was making them move up and down lightly. then i went to the bathroom and had diarhea for a couple of minutes (sorry if too much). is this all normal or could i be going into labor soon?! my due date isnt until christmas.

(last time i got checked about 2 weeks ago i was only 1cm dilated and the babys head was very very low)

anything helps! please!

I'm going to a baby shower for a good friends cousin that I've known for a long time but it's kind of last minute so I don't really have a gift. I'm making a baby blanket for another friend as a surprise but that baby's not due yet so I'm going to give it to the cousin for her baby shower. I'm just wondering if anyone thinks this is a good gift. My friend agrees with me that not many people crochet anymore so it'd be a good gift but I'd like other opinions too.

If you were the mom to be would you like to receive a homemade baby blanket even if it's not on your registery. She has them listed but without time or money I don't have to buy it I don't just want to go empty handed.

First, let me state that I am pro-breastfeeding. I did it with my first, and am still going strong with my 9 month old. Just curious, what's the strangest place you've done it? I have breastfed in loads of public places (as I'm sure most nursing moms have), but I did it once at a zoo that had these really huge wooden rocking chairs around the merry-go-round. I felt like I was in a fairy tale, LOL. The chairs were huge, my feet were sticking off the end ;)

Please share, I'd love to hear your answers!

Early next week im having to take Methotrexate to help terminate my unknown pregnancy. This havent been good for a few weeks and i'm being told i could be in a life threatening situation if we dont act fast.
With this drug, there are many side effects that come with it, as with most drugs.
Me myself prefer on a daily basis to take the more natural approach to ailments etc and use either Reiki healing or homeopathical remedes and essential oils.
As it happens the thought of using the essential oils that pregnancy women are to stay well clear of in my bath today crossed my mind.
Miscarriage can be brought on if certain oils are used. I did this in all good intention and would like this to be resolved in a more natural way. I hope you can see where im coming from in this. Obviously i will take the Methotrexate if i need to, but prehaps with the help of the oils, it may be pushed along this way. I leave it in the hands of them upstairs. They know whats to happen.x

I asked my 6 year old son what he is asking "Santa" for.He told me that he's too old to get toys from Santa.I asked him why and he said that is "friend" told him that Santa wasn't real.This friend is 10.Anyway I told him that of course Santa is real,but he still doubts it.I have a 3 year old and a 15 month old as well.I thought they'd all believe 'til they were like 9 or 10.What can I say to make him believe again???
