My daughter is 3 1/2 months old and in the evening she is refusing her bottle, she is also drooling so much and constantly sucking on her hand. It seems like the evening is the worse she is very irritable. I am having problems with her peditrican and trying to find a new one, you would be surprised at how hard it is to get an appt with a new Dr. even though I changed her pcp with the ins, the Dr's office say I have to wait to get the card in the mail I think that is just ridiculous.

I heard when you are trying to conceive you should lay still for 30 minutes after " the guys..." have been inserted. I am trying to conceive my second and I got up like 5 min after. Would you say my chances are slim? Thanks

My daughter is 3 and 1/2 months old. My husband is a firefighter, and a fellow firefighter and very close friend has just died unexpectedly. It is going to be a huge service. My dilemma is, my normal sitter is the wife of another firefighter and they will of course be going. We are all a tight knit group. My parents are in Rome, so they can't watch her, and I am unsure of other trusted people to ask that wont be going to the funeral. Do I take her? I am so scared she will cry and offend people during the service. It is an outdoor service so I can't walk out. Should I not go? Or will that be more offensive? My husband is chief of the Dept., so I feel bad not going and being supportive of others. I guess this is an etiquitte question but y'all know where I am coming from w/ having a baby on hand. Help =(

I have been a SAHM for the last 7 years, and it's high time for me to get into the work force and contribute to the household finances. I only had one paying job before I had kids, almost ten years ago. What do I tell prospective employers when they want to know about previous job experience??

I'm working on my birth plan, and can't decide whether or not I want an epidural. I would love to give birth naturally, but I know the pain is going to be out of this world, making me think I should get the epidural or some other medicine.

Any advice or input from mothers? Did you do it naturally or with medication? What were your experiences? Which would you recommend and why? Thanks in advance!

My son had a circumcision done about a month ago but I guess the doctor that did it didn't do it right cuz now he's telling me to go and find a pediatric neurologist in San Antonio. So if anyone knows a pediatric in San Antonio or a website I can go to so they can give me a list of doctors there I would really really appriciate it!!!

Thanx in Advance

She is going to a place this coming week and needs one for her 2 yr old because they do not allow strollers. She needs to buy it IN STORE and not online because she does not have time to wait for shipping. Thanks!

She usually wakes up to nurse once during the night. Last night, and off and on this past month, she woke up 7 times. I nursed her once as usually, let her cry it out three times (took about 15 min.), and gave her the binky the rest. I had her swaddled so that isn't the issue, although she did nap a little longer yesterday. Any ideas or tips to get her back to sleeping better. I don't think I can do another one of those nights.

Trying to give a baby medicine is so hard.....Anyone have any tips on how to do it.? I have also been trying to feed my little guy and he is not really interested in his bottle.......any suggestions on how to make sure he gets enough fluids. The Dr told me that as long as he was drooling a lot and had tears he was not dehydrated. Just wondering what others have done.......this is my first sick baby experience and just want some ideas for next time.

I have a 2 yr and 3 yr old. And they are both picky eaters. I've tried to add variety into their diets and follow the food pyramid but they snuff and say they don't want it. I've tried doing the whole, take food away and place it back at the table, but I think they'd rather starve. I've had to stick with PB and J, mac & cheese, grilled cheese, yogurts, and every now and then a pasta dish. I feel that they are not get the adaquate nutrition that they need. I've been giving them a daily vitamin and a fruit and veggie vitamin (supposed to be comparable to 2 servings of fruits and veggies a day). My doctor told me that my 2 year old has low iron. I'm very concerned that they may be malnurished but I just can't seem to get them to eat. Does anyone have any ideas?

Oh yeah, the 3 year old is a big influence to his sister, I feel that if I can get him to eat the 2yr old will follow suit.

We recently switched my baby from breast milk to whole milk (pediatrician's request) and we have noticed that he's been getting constipated. What can I do to help him ease the constipation. My poor son puches and puches and nothing comes out and if something comes out is a itty bitty ball of poop.

♣Thanks in advance for your feedback.

my older daughter didn't lose hers until she was halfway through 1st grade. My 4 yr old also got all of her teeth VERY early, she started teething at 3 months and three teeth came in at a time, she had all of her teeth by the time she was 6 months old. Would that have anything to do with losing baby teeth early?

I REALLY LIKE BOTH OF THESE NAMES. JACKSON WAS MY MOMS LAST NAME (SHE PASSED AWAY) AND I THINK ITS A REALLY CUTE 1ST NAME, BUT I HATE THE FACT THE THAT PEOPLE MAY CALL HIM JACK, ALSO MY NAME IS JACKIE AND I DONT WANT PEOPLE TO THINK I NAMED HIM AFTER ME. SO I STARTED THINKING ABOUT OTHER NAMES I REALLY WANTED A "J" NAME BUT I THOUGHT ABOUT THE NAME TRISTAN AND I REALLY LOVE THAT TOO. ITS SOO CUTE, BUT DEPENDING ON WHO SAYS IT, THE NAME CAN SOUND KIND OF "SOFT" FOR A BOY. WHAT DO U THINK? WHICH ONE IS BETTER? OF DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS?

Just wrote a question about this more...But have to ask something along the same lines...
I know i hate it when kids cry and are upset...4 and 2..But I know I have to suck it up and they will be ok.
Im thinking this is a problem for my sister and her teen. Since I dont see how shes hasnt been grounded for longer period of times for attitude, disrespect, back talk, ect...
Also this 14 yr old..About 2 yrs ago - attemped to drink bleach cuz she got caught skipping school and was in trouble...More orless a cry for help, IMO. She had meds and meetgins for awhile, Dont think anymore. But Im thinking is this a fear in some teenagers parents - Afraid to disapline the teens in fear they will hurt themselves...

My daughter will be 3 in just a month. We have been working on potty training for almost a year now. We had a scare back in July when she ended up in the hospital for being overly constipated. It is a cycle. We will put her in underwear and she does really good as far as peeing goes, no accidents but she will get to the point of not pooping or only pooping when we have a diaper on. So we end up puting a daiper on her and then the peeing starts happening in the diaper again and were at square one. urrrrg!!! So we put her in underwear 4 days ago and she has been doing great, first night she waited until we put a diaper on her for bed to poop, and now she hasn't pooped for 3 days!!! What can I do!!!!!!

She is also my mother in law's only grandchild and my parent's granchild (they have two more, but they live accross the country). Basically, she is the only baby in both sides of our family, so needless to say, she gets a lot of attention, has lots (tons!) of toys, etc. Aunts, uncles, friends, etc. are always coming over to play with her. At her recent first birthday party, a friend who also has a baby around the same age told me that I am going to have problems with my daughter, including holding attention spans, focusing on one thing at one time, problems in school, etc., because of all the toys and attention she gets right now. My daughter is a very happy baby or should i say toddler, who rarely cries or throws tantrums. My husband and I make sure we provide a loving, nurturing environment for our daughter. I am not sure how to take her comments. Any advice on this?

It took me 6 months to recover from my first emergency c-section (20 months ago) and I'm scared to go through surgery again.
My doctor says VBAC would be an option but he doesn't recommend it.


Please give me some personal information. Thanks.

My husband I are having a hard time getting our 6 month old to sleep in his crib. Lately he has become extrememly attached to me and absolutely will not go to sleep unless I lay down with him. I have no problem laying down with him and then moving him to his crib but not 5 seconds after I move him he is screaming bloody murder. The only way he sleeps soundly is if he sleeps with me. I have tried to let him cry it out but honestly I just can't do it. I don't want my child to feel abandoned and that he can't count on me when he really needs me and I feel that the Ferber method leads to that. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
