My mom had me and my twin sister, and she named us Reagan and Riley, so she wants to name the twin boys she's pregnant with R names, too. Last name is Parker. We don't like Roland, Ronald, Raymond, or Rudy.

My diaper bag is broken and I'm in desperate need of a new one. My Sister-in-law has the perfect diaper bag it's black, wide, duffelbag type, and it has adjustable pockets on both sides that fit 6 bottles total! She got it at the Hospital and it's from Enfamil. I got a different one and it sucks! I called Enfamil and they don't sell them, and I don't got a chance to get anotherone unless I give birth again, which isn't in my plans...Do you know of a large, black , diaperbag with adjustable bottle pockets I could buy and where? Thanks!!!

My son is almost nine months and has one testicel that has not dropped. The doctor said it's there but just hasn't dropped yet. He also said that if it hasn't dropped by his first birthday he will need to have surgery to correct it. What are the chances that it will drop by then? And if it doesn't is it a major surgery? Tell me what you know about this please, and only if you really know.

From day one, my baby has cried hysterically whenever we bathe her. (Even during her sponge baths the first 2 weeks!) We now bathe her in an infant/toddler tub that has a baby sling to support her. She doesn't mind the warm water running over her too much, but screams and cries through the rest of the process.

We tried bathing her in the sink, putting a warm washcloth on her chest while we bathed the rest of her, putting soft towels down in the tub, using a "soothing" aromatic baby wash, putting a space heater in the bathroom for bath time, and ditching the infant sling.

Still, she wails from the instant her toe hits the water until long after she's dried, lotioned, and clothed.

Any SERIOUS suggestions on how to make this process less of an ordeal? It's become a necessary ritual that both I AND baby dread!

Should he turn back around and bring her to me? I know that she is looking for me. She is a calm baby when at home and in a predictable routine.

I'm 17 years old and I am proud to say I'm a teen daddy, and I am engaged to my babys mother, becuase we are inlovee.

My fiance' is sick lately, and I'm taking care of my daughter, while I tend to my fiance's every need.

By proven tests, my daughter has a weak immune system,
she finally fell asleep in her crib,
she ran a small fever, and i ran her to the doctor.
he said she's fine just keep her warm, and he prescriped a medicine.

She usually can fall asleep in her crib,
but she's sick so she falls asleep on my chest
on the couch, cause i keep her away from her mom whiles her moms sick.

What can I do to make her feel better.
She also's really misses her mommy, and she constantly cries, but when she see her through the door she stops. What should I do?

And from experience, tell me how to handle this.

I would love to hear the reasons why breastfeeding mothers should cover up. Please note that I want to hear legitimate reasons why they should cover up. I don't want to hear stupid or shallow reasons. I also don't want to read sexual reasons why they should cover up. I want to hear legitimate, non sexual, non hangup reasons. Is that possible? Bring it on.

My 5 1/2 month old son is teething. He has two teeth coming in on the bottom, and he will bite down on me every time I feed him. I really want to continue nursing, but it hurts so much! What have you done or heard to help relieve the pain?

I have a 14th month old girl,Raynah. Shes a very social baby...a real explorer. I have been told on too many occasions that I'm being to over protective!! I make sure she has a life jacket on AND sits in a baby tube when we go to the beach. I will not let her eat beef,or gelatin..(since im trying to go Veg myself) and I've read TERRIBLE things about them..*shudder*. I still feed her jar food ..I'm afraid she'll choke..ppl tell me shes ready for real food..which she does get..just not everything I eat. I NEVER set her down in public places..I'm afraid shell run off and get taken by some wierdo..even tho I'm VERY watchful..all it takes is 1 second!! I tell ppl that "the cost is too great" if anything were to happen to my Raynah...and I could have prevented it...I wouldnt be able to live with myself!! What do you think? over overprotective..or careful?

I have been giving my daughter formula since she was born. I am going to start feeding her rice cereal. When should I start feeding her other foods? What things should I start out with and how much should I give her and how often everyday? How much formula should I continue to give her? She usually drinks about 30 ounces a day.

I have a 7 week old baby boy who has gone from calm and easy to incredibly fussy. It starts at about 4am and lasts all day. he doesn't sleep and won't eat a full bottle, he just grazes on it for 1 to 2 hours. It isn't like this everyday, but just about every other day. Is this normal? He is on enfamil gentleease for his gas and seems to always grunt and wingle about when I am feeding him. I just hope this is a phase. Anyone else have issues like this? I am wondering if something is wrong? Allergy etc?

She was born at 36 wks 5 days weighed 5 pounds 12. 9 ounces and was 19 inches long. Her adjusted age would be 10 almost 11 months but she will be 1 this month. She is still wearing 6/9 months clothing due to being so short. Is it because she was born early? I am 5'1 and my husband (her dad) is 5'10
