My son is 8 months old and will not go to sleep unless me or my boyfriend lay down with him till he does. How can I make him go to sleep and stay asleep by himself?

I recently asked a question about my son hitting his head often. An answer I got has been on my mind for about a day. They said that if CPS was called they'd do an investigation and everything would be okay. My son isn't hitting his head hard enough to leave bruises, nor do I hit or beat him but I was just wondering; what kind of investigations do they do to insure a child isn't getting abused? How do can they tell that the child is merely falling down or bumping his/her head or body on something? Thank you for your answers!

Here is the question if you feel the need to look:

We are caucasian and we are having a hard time finding a name for our soon to be son.
The last name is Wilhite and we would like to have Joe as the middle name as it is the name of both of our fathers.

Any suggestions?
We are thinking Brayden Joe Wilhite but any others will be great to see.

I am 8 months pregnant and am worried about deformitys and such.. does my doctor know if my baby is healthy (deformitys and general health) or do I just have to wait and find out when I have him?

Not sure if I am posting this in the right section but I figure someone has got to have some experience in being pregnant and the entire child support/custody/and rights. Ok. I have my court hearing next month and the mother of my child is filing for full child support/sole custody/ and offering me visiting. Dude! I don't want visitation because I ain't ready to be a dad. I wanted her to have an abortion or consider adoption, but no she had to be selfish and keep the child. We only dated briefly. I don't have a stable job and trying to make it as an actor. Dude! In 3 months I get paid $2,000 - that's barely anything! I didn't put down my entertainment jobs because I want to protect myself so they dont get my monies from those jobs. If I bring evidence and solid evidence she is harassing me and get a friend to be a witness will the judge go for it and let me off the hook. Sort of like giving her a restrainting order so we don't have any contact. Do I have a case?

I know I should feed every 2 to 3 hours, but what about naps? I always have a tough time putting her to sleep if I don't use her swing. I don't want to depend on it though. Help

I forgot to mention on the previous post that my friend is scheduled back to work once her 6 week maternity leave is over. So basically she's got a week left. I don't think she should go back right now since she's already stressed. Can a regular doctor give her a Rx for time off until she gets over some of her depression? She tells me she barely gets 4 hours a night as it is. I can't imagine what she's going to be like after going back to work full time!

My 1 month son sleeps, then twitches which causes him to wake up crying. Any solutions without using medicine? I swaddle him tightly with a variety of swaddlers and techniques but no luck. He sleeps in his own crib with the only light being a lamp.

My fiance and I are going to head out on a week long honeymoon, and we're leaving our 1-year old son with his grandparents (both sets are going to share him). As a result we're making a sheet of how to care for him, what to do in case of emergency, etc.

Some things we are including:
1) Normal routine
2) How to handle naptime
3) The bedtime routine
4) Emergency contacts
5) Medicines and how to give them
6) How to handle illnesses
7) Food limitations
8) How to prepare his meals (basic hints)

We're also including an insurance note that says that we give his grandparents persmission to take him to the emergency room that will be notorized. The MIL is going a bit crazy over that.

Is there anything we're forgetting. Any tips or hints to include?

Obviously we're not going to go crazy with strict diets and such, but we want to give them some help. HIS parents have never had our son overnight, and we have a perticular bed time routine we want to keep.

It has classic pooh holding the blanket. The security blanket is small in size. It has a cream colored teether on one corner of the blanket and another corner has a crunchie material that makes noise. The sides of the blanket except the side with the teether are covered in green satin. Ebay has one but it is used. Please let me know if anybody knows where to find one. I've been checking different websites but haven't had any luck. The one we had we had for a year and has become lost. Thanks

i'm having my 2nd child ceserean and i tried to breastfeed with my first but she wouldn't latch on and didn't have much milk. i even tried a breast pump the hospital provided and it didn't help. i think it may be because i had a ceserean and my body wasn't "ready" for the baby to come out.

soooo anybody have a ceserean and have problems breastfeeding? any tips?
