My wife reads a lot of books about child raising. One interesting thing she told me was that if you listen to certain music it can have an effect on your child, such as classical music making them smarter.
My wife and I are both caucasian, and trace our ancestries back to Scandanavia. However my youngest son has very African features, including wavy hair and a VERY dark complexion.
My wife says this is because she listened to a lot of Bob Marley and Marvin Gaye during her pregnancy.
Is this possible?

I try to bath my 18month old daughter every 2nd day and wash her hair at the same time. I just wondered how often everyone else does this?

When I offer meat, vegetables or milk she either spits it out, throws it on the floor, screams at me or all of the above. I just weaned her and she is soooo mad at her milk cup. She throws it and madly bats at it. She had her 1 year pediatric appointment a couple weeks ago and they gave me a food pyramid chart with how many servings of each food group they should have each day. Even if my baby loved every food in the world there is no way she could possibly eat that many servings in one day anyway! I am really concerned about her nutrition. Her Doctor said she is a healthy weight and height (21 pounds/30 inches) but she's not going to grow anymore at this rate. I have already tried disguising meat and veggies, it doesn't work. She will eat nothing else but cereal, fruit and yogurt. I am also supposed to be giving her 2 cups of milk a day, yeah right!

I have a baby boy and he is now just about 7months old and has only ever slept thru the night once! he goes down at 6/6.30pm everynight(cant get him down any earlier as hes so active during the day hes knackered come 6pm at night). Hes very good at goin down and goin to sleep himself but around 1,1.30am he'l wake up and not go back down until hes had a feed then he goes straight back down to sleep, but then will be up at 4.30 am for another feed then back down till 8/9am. Hes been teething since 6weeks old and has 4 teeth with more coming through, is this why he keepes getting up or is there something else, any ideas on how to maybe get him sleeping the night?( I am breastfeeding him but cut it out at night and give him a bottle instead as i thought he was just using my breast as a comfort thing,but it hasnt seem to have made any difference)

My body is driving me crazy!! The last normal period i had was in October. Last month my period was barely two days (its ALWAYS at least 5 full days) that was nov. 21. this month it hasn't come yet. i have felt cramping for about two weeks now. normally i only feel cramping the first day of my actual period. Never for two weeks. But i have taken about at least 5 pregnancy tests and all were negative. The one i took at 3 am this morning might have had a very very faint line. But i don't know. I can't stand it anymore. I either just want to be pregnant or not. I just want to know one way or the other. And if im not pregnant-- I WANT MY BODY TO STOP FEELING SO WEIRD. and i just want to have a normal period!! its like my body is stringing me alone. It has been acting weird for two months now. I'm gonna teset AGAIN in a couple days and i do have a doctors appointment on the 26th...... why won't my body go back to normal!!!

I don't have middle names yet, just trying to find a first name... please be honest, and provide suggestions for middle names or other names that you think are nice.

Thanks!

My son's preschool requested no gifts for the teachers but that we could bring gifts for the classroom that would benefit our children (books, learning material, etc). I was thinking maybe some art supplies? Any other suggestions?

We're planning on going to California for a wedding this summer and we have a 2 year old. We haven't flown with him since he turned 2. Just wondering if we have to pay full price or if there's a child rate for a 2 year old? Also, are there requirements like having a proper carseat for them to sit in?
I've looked up information on airline websites but everything seems kind of vague and I don't want to bother going through all the "press 1 for this, press 2 for that" to ask a simple question on the phone. Thanks!
