They sneak in all the time, even when I'm home. I spray them, make loud noises. I have tried aluimumum foil, and once out of desperatation... mouse traps. I have tried putting blankets in, but then they mess around and make a bed in there and the blankets don't cover where they lay. I don't want to spray the baby stuff with chemical, like cat a away or lemon stuff. Any ideas that work?

We went to my in laws last night with our 6 week old son, my mother in law had food poisoning and was throwing up and had diahrrea. Even though she was not professionally diagnosed as having food poisoning I began to grow concerned about the health of my baby. I had a panick attack and left without saying goodbye. Now her feelings are hurt and I don't know how to make her understand. Side note: I had 4 previous miscarriages and was only 4 months along when I was put on bedrest and got sick with everything so I am hypersensitive and protective of my newborn around people who are ill or feeling bad.

Just found out this past Friday we're expecting triplets!! Completely SPONTANEOUS TRIPLETS!! Who would have thunk. I'm still reeling from the news. I'm honestly too stunned to speak. We currently have a 2 year old. I happen to be a twin (and my twin sister had twins 9 years ago..) so I can't be all that surprised with the triplet news.. although it is still overwhelming. Gotta view it as a blessing even though I want to crawl under my desk here at work and curl up in a ball if I stop and think about it too much.

Some questions:

- Gov't assistance? Does such a thing exist for triplets?? I am currently the primary bread winner between my husband and I. We live a VERY modest lifestyle in a VERY small condo...

- Company sponsorships... do diaper companies, etc. still do this type thing? I get the feeling that these days since so many triplets come from fertility treatments that companies are less willing to assist folks.

Any responses would be appreciated.

I have a 7 month old daughter. I was just wondering what are some games that you played with your child when they were her age. I am looking for something that I can interact with her. We are getting bored of peekaboo. Please Help!

When my son was born they said his penis was too small and we would have to wait. At his 4 month checkup I asked if they could do it because he was bigger. They said they won't even consider it until he is a year old! Im scared to have it done that late. My husband and I have been weighing the good and bad and we still don't know if we want to have it done. We have 6 months to decide. Im scared he will be in alot of pain. He will probably be walking then and it would hurt him. Im afraid he might resent me after its done. Do they give the baby a shot or something so it does'nt hurt? I think I would only be able to do it to him if I can be sure it won't hurt him. I think he would be fine uncircumsised except for all the cleaning issues and things like getting sand in it at the beach (ouch!!!) What do you think?

Aside from diapers and wipes what did you use the most? Is there anything you wished you had? What item(s) were a waste of money?

My 2nd son was born 9 weeks early, just like my first, and he'll be in the hospital for another three weeks. We haven't tried breastfeeding yet (he's on a feeding tube) but I've been pumping every three hours (a little longer at night) and have a good supply of milk. I was wondering if it's possible for me to be allergic to my own milk. When it's time for me to pump, my breasts get itchy and red and it lasts throughout the pumping but goes away as soon as I'm done. What is this and is there something I can do to help with the itch? I don't go back for my six week checkup for another four weeks and I don't know if this warrents a call to the doctor or not. Also, I've read that mothers should pump for about 10-15 minutes on each side and there's something wrong if it lasts longer but when I'm pumping, I can express milk for about 45 minutes. Should I keep pumping until my breasts are empty to keep my milk supply up, or should I only do it for the 10 minutes like I've read?

My ped. suggested we put rice in my sons bottle due to reflux. We put 2 teaspoons with 4 oz of formula. He didnt like it at all. Did anyone else have this problem? What else can we try. He is also on prevacid and axid for his reflux but is spitting up. That is why we tried the rice, to thicken formula. Any suggestions?

My twin-daughters are 6 months old.I started giving them solid foods and Emma likes them but Amber doesn't and refuses to eat anything solid.Since I'm only 14,I guess some older mothers know better what to do and I ask for advice.Both Em and Am were born premature (in the 7th month).How can I make Amber eat solid foods?

I bottle fed my two children, but am thinking about expressing milk for my baby who is due in October as I'm a little more relaxed about this pregnancy. However, I really don't want to breast feed as I don't feel able to do this in front of people like my dad for example!!
Has anyone here ever expressed milk to feed their child and if they have - was it a good experience or was it bad?

Thanks. x
