What shower gift do you find the most useful? Your favorite? Not necessarily the prettiest, but the one you are really glad you received. I'm going to a shower for a very special person. I want to spend about $30. Any suggestions? Thank you.

My son is 7 months old. One side of his head is flat and the other side is normal. If looks REALLY mishaped... I went to a Nuerolosist today and they told me they would give him a CT Scan and give me the results.. They seem to think it is his skull fusing together... (I think that is what they called it) What does this mean?? If it is not that they may have to do a helmet... Has anyone had an expierence like this? How old was the baby? How did they do after surgery? did you use the helmet? Did it help? They are sending me to a neurosurgeon and the word surgery really scares me... Any info will help so I can prepare myself, or if you have websites where I can research this I would appreciate it.

I have a 6 year old daughter and am now 19 weeks pregnant with another child. My husband is not the real father of my 6 year old (well he is her father but not biologically). I had a baby shower 6 years ago. My family wants to throw another shower. My sister in law has a huge problem with me having another. Even though she wasn't at the first one. Do I just make sure she's not invited? My husband and his parents are real excited about the baby, but his sister doesn't seem to be.

If so, I would definitely like to try it w/ my 15 month old son....

I was reading the answers to a previous question where people were advising time-out for a 15 month old. I have a 15 month old son & I didn't realize that it was possible to start time-out...

Just curious - does all baby formula have that strong "wheaty" smell?

My 6 month old has been exclusively breastfed but his doctor gave me some Similac Alimentum because she thinks he may be allergic to something I'm eating.

It smells so strong and unpleasant (to me at least). Do all formulas smell this way or is this just because this is a hypoallergenic formula?

just curious...

I am a second time mom, my first was 8 long years ago.
I can't remember much from back then, and my kids are the only babies I have ever been around so I am not sure what is considered normal...My 2 month old cries a lot. He eats his bottle, lays on the floor and plays for about 20-30 min (and spits up while he's there), then just starts screaming. He becomes hard to console. I litterally have to walk back and forth while bouncing him to get him to stop, and I try to stop and sit down he goes into fits..does this sound normal? I am concerned he may have GERD, but don't want over diagnose him. I give him a tiny bit of maloxx and a pacifier and he calms right down, but I don't know if the taste distracts him or if it really helps. Anyone with similar experience?

When I am out with my 4 month old son, people say how happy he is and how cute. Then they pinch or rub his chubby cheeks! How do you prevent that from happening? Can you even? I don't want to be rude, but I don't know what those hands were doing right before they are putting them all over my son! Please help if you have a pleasant suggestion on how to make it clear I do not want strangers to touch my son.

I think babies are gross, contrary to what most people say. I hate it when I'm watching TV when those baby commercials pop up and my mom goes "Aw, oh my goodness it's too cute!" While in my eyes it looks really the opposite. I can't stand being close to children and I am never find myself wanting to hold one like most people do. They're just plain gross-looking. My mom says I'm strange and I need help =S
Is that true?

I was just curious why babies so often rub their eyes when they're sleepy? I don't have kids, but lots of people I know of, tell me they can always tell when their babies are getting sleepy or tired, because they rub their eyes a lot.

Why do babies do this? It looks irritating when I see them rubbing their eyes. Also, I don't understand why babies do this but adults don't. Or at least no adults I know of, rub their eyes when they're sleepy. I certainly don't!! I only rub them if they itch me, which is extremely rare and only happens with an allergy flare up (again, very rare).

ok i'm breastfeeding and i am starting to feel i'm living in the dark ages, Formul is much better and easier to make sure the baby is getting enough i swear that women just want to show off a t i t. i mean really, thousands and millions of babies are just fine without breastmilk, why not move ahead into the future and give your baby what's best?
