I guess most hospitals have this 'attatchment' to the bed, but I have been told you need to ask for it. I just dont want to deliver my baby semi-sitting ot laying on my back. I read that this allows for 30% less room for baby to come out and is not the easiest way to give birth. I have two older children, and although I delivered both of them semi-sitting...I now dont think it is the best way...PLUS my tailbone has been sore almost the entire pregnancy and I dont want to put extra strain on it. I am considering laying on my side or perhaps squatting...how does that bar work?

What is the easiest way to wean her? If I don't breastfeed her she will cry non-stop to the point she starts choking, and I will not just let her cry to that point. And she will not drink from a bottle. Can anyone help me out?

My fiance and I are getting married in 18 days, and we are trying to have a baby. When I reach around 4-5 months, we were planning on buying lots of supplies to stock up, like diapers, blankets, nuetral clothes (green, yellow and white--we want the baby's sex to be a surprise). A lot of people have told us that while getting blankets, clothes, pacifers, bottles, etc is ok, they have told us NOT to buy diapers ahead of time, while some people have told us "You can NEVER have too many diapers".
I've never had a baby of my own before (just my fiance's son, and we didn't have him full-time), and not all the people that have told me to buy or not to buy diapers have children, and I don't know who to listen to!
So I decided to get on here and ask, since there is such a diverse realm of people that answer questions.
So my question to moms is: Did you stock up on diapers before your baby was born? Is 4-5 months before the baby is born too early to buy diapers?

How long should it be before the antibiotics kick in? My son has a severe left ear infection. He is still screaming with pain and having to have the "pain" drops, motrin and on antibitoics. He does have a dr appointment next week, but something has to give!

My 5 month old daughter, who is exclusivly breastfed, just got in her first tooth. All day she has been biting me, I tell her no very sharply and take her off the breast for a half hour before letting her finish eating. She won't take a bottle, tried everything under the sun so that's out of the question, so how long do I have to go through this? I thought they were supposed to quit biting once they realized they don't get to eat if they chew????? Any other helpful suggestions for me to try? Quick! My little pirahna is hungry again.

My husband just called me at work and our six month old son will not stop screaming. He will be ok when hes holding him but when he trys to lay him down after he falls asleep he wakes right up and starts screaming again and I mean like a high pitch screech. Could it just be him wanting to be held since hes ok when your holding him?

Nothing seems to work. It makes us crazy that we can not make him feel better. The script the dr gave us helps some but dang it, I can not stand to see him cry in pain.
