Okay, so I already cloth diaper and make my 8 month old daughter's baby food. My husband has been away training in the army so we have not had grocery expenses that include him for about four months. We will be relocating (from Iowa to Washington)in December so we are trying to save as much money as possible. Any menu/meal ideas that are inexpensive but still healthy and won't load you up on a bunch of bad carbs(sugars, white flour, etc.)? I love to cook and everything so it won't be a problem to spend more time in the kitchen than I already have to cooking my daughter's food!
Any other frugal household tips such as cleaning solutions, laundry solutions, etc... would be great also. Thanks in advance!!

He was a little peanut when he was born- 7.1 lbs then b/c of jaundice went down to 6.8. But has always been a good eater. Now at 4 1/2 months he weighs 16.9 lbs and the doc says thats perfect cuz he is 25 inches long and right in his weight range. But people on here are sayin their 18 month old weighs 18 lbs etc, so its makin me think that my son is over weight??

My question is would it be OK to give her canned meats -like Canned Chicken Breast, Turkey Breast and Canned Corned Beef ??
This would only be sometimes and not everyday - just when we are in a rush & cant cook -
Her Dr told us to give her more meats & not just the babyfood ones cause they are not that good of a source in IRON - She needs more meats cause her IRON was low -
The Dr. said to give her canned Tuna - so I dont see why other canned meats would hurt - from time to time
When we cook her meat - we leave on an un-seasoned protion of meat for her & the Puree it in the blender - sometimes we dont have time to do this - so thats why I thought of the canned meats
Has anyone given their baby these or do you have any suggestions on foods rich in IRON but safe for a 9 month old that are fast & easy to prepare
Thanks

KO this is going to sound gross but my dog keep licking my babys face. She is 6 months old and absolutely loves it and giggles and laughs when he does it, and I know he's doing it to show affection and it's adorable - but YUCK.

Ive heard dog's mouths are cleaner then human's though.

any thoughts? and please dno't be a jerk and tell me to get rid of my dog cause that's just plain stupid :-).

When a baby is born, and you pick the name, does it have to have the same last name as a parent, or can you just pick a random last name out of thin air like the first? Like the parents last name is Smith, can the babys last name be Jones? Just because?

I really want to breastfeed when I've had my baby, but I was wondering what to do when I'm out with my baby?! There is no way I'm going to feed my child in a ladies toilet, and as I do not wish to cover my childs head with a blanket or anything, what shall I do?

everyone I talk to this about says 'ewww that reminds me of the Little Mermaid'. The little Mermaid is one of my favorite movies of all time, I love it! Is the name Ariel really that bad?? Thanks for your input! (My 2nd choice for a girl would be Melody - which is actually Ariel's daugther's name in The Little Mermaid II! I've had been reactions to Melody)

I am pregnant with our first child and trying to adjust our budget to include the baby. But I don't really know what to expect. I know I need diapers and maybe formula, but what else is there that I will have to buy on a regular basis?

My 12 month old is putting everything in her mouth and it is very frusterating to constantly pick things up from the floor that she might swallow. It makes it worse that I have a five year old and she allways leaves her mess around.
