He is not a GIRL. It's going to ruin his mainhood. I don't care if he doesn't know how to talk yet, the child has EYES.

With my first baby I didnt expect to breastfeed and then to the suprise of Me and even the lactation consultant I began to produce milk 7 days later. By then my son would only feed from a bottle so I pumped for about 3 weeks until I got discouraged and gave up. At the time I was only producing 1 oz total each pumping but I only pumped 3-4 times a day not enough. This time I want to do it right and be prepared. Any suggestions on increasing milk by birth time and after. Any one have same experiances?

My 2wk old has had jaundice since she was 2 days old. I have had her on the billi blanket at night for 4 nights. However, it is only going down very slowly. I have also alternated formula with breast milk. can anyone tell me something else to try? Doc says not to put her in direct sunlight since they are more prone to sunburn, but, I do put her crib next to the window. Thanks all!

Can anyone give me positive advice on supplementing formula and breastfeeding. I know breast is best, I don't want any lashings, just other moms who did this successfully.I was able to feed my son a bottle at 4 am and breastfeed the rest of the time with my first. With this, my second, i will be in R.N school so pumping is not an option. Please, please tell me I can still breastfeed and give a bottle 2 or 3 times a day!

It seems like all baby boy clothes in stores are either baby blue or have sports, insects, or truck themes. I'd love for a mainstream store, like Target, to come out with some really cool clothes.

I had a c-section almost 4 years ago, and my husband and I are ttc again, I want a vbac this time. I didn't want the c-section in the first place, but my son's life depended on it.

What are the pros and cons to circumcision? My husband insists that it be done to our son when he is born, and I tend to think that since he is a male who has had it done he would know best... But then again, I feel horribly guilty for even contemplating causing my infant son such pain in the 1st or 2nd day of his life. What are your experiences with your own sons? It is as awful as it seems? What are the benefits, and what are the drawbacks? How do you properly care for it, (and for how long) after the procedure? Thanks for your advice and answers :)

Just a few minutes ago i was taking my nephew (he is 2 months) out of the car and i unlocked the car seat and pull it out. The handle was in the upright position so i thought it was locked nut it wasn't! The seat leaned over while i held it by the handle and he fell out and landed on the parking lot floor. There was no sound of him hitting he didn't cry till i held him. I have never been so scared before. He only cried for a few minutes but i want to know if it's gonna be ok. My sister says he'll be fine but i just need to hear it from someone else. Does anyone have any feed back on the matter?

I have just about everything I need but am lost looking at all the different formulas available. Is there really a huge difference or is is just all the same thing at different prices? I guess what I'm asking for is advice on how to choose a formula.

My wife and I do some foster care from time to time. We recently received three brothers into our home, the youngest of which is just one month old (he's been in foster care since birth.)

It turns out that he'll sleep for about two hours stretches at night *if* he's beeing held (i.e. cuddled on the couch, recliner, etc.) but once we put him in the crib, he's only good for about 10-15 minutes.

Any suggestions as to what we can do to get him to sleep in the crib and for longer stretches of time?

(BTW, he take much bottle at one time either. We find that as soon as we stick the bottle in his mouth, he gets drowsy or goes right to sleep. He'll usually only take an ounce or two at one time... this might explain the short sleep intervals, but we're not sure how to get more down him. Besides we suspect that being so little... an ounce might be all he's got room for anyway.)

I wanted to know the quick easy ways you feel better about yourself? How you got back into shape? How do you get anything done? Am I ever going to feel good about myself outside of motherhood again? My baby is 3 weeks old and I feel like I look worse than ever, I cant get anything done, and I dont know what to do!

I was just wondering what other parents do as far as naptime goes. How often and long does your baby sleep for?

I saw a girl with a Hooter Hider the other day and I was wondering if anyone knew how to make one or where I could find a site to get some ideas. If you dont know what it is, please dont waste your time by answering this. My baby hates wraps and slings and fabric being on his face so nursing discreetly is challenging but a light blanket does the job. I don't really have to have one so I dont want to pay $35 or more for one...I would rather make one. I looked but I cant find anything that is close to that. Thanks!

I am talking about the pronunciation of the names. Example, Dunta, Tra, Monta, they expect that last syllable to be pronounced "ay", but the rules of English state that it should be pronounced "uh" as in Linda. Why not just spell the name as Duntae or Duntay?

The worst case that I have ever heard of is Chone Figgins, he actually pronounces his name as if it were Shawn! Isn't that ridiculous? Everyone who sees that name will think that his name rhymes with phone.

Why do people clutter up their rear windows with these? They not particularly attractive and do they really think it is going to change the driving behaviour of those behind them? I find them faintly annoying - because I can't understand why anyone would go to the trouble of buying them and putting them up there... the second wave of more cutsy, 'princess on board'.. etc. just make it worse...

How old does a baby have to be before you can stop burping her? My baby is four months and sometimes she burps by herself.
