Theres' this 1 year old baby that's living in the same house as me. He keeps on wanting his mom and can't stay a 15 minutes away from her without crying. He can't stay 1 minute on the floor without touching anything around him that he sees. He eats and drinks alot. Whenever he sees someone eating something or food around, he wants it and if you don't give it to him he keeps crying. He'll hit any1 that carries him that is not his mom for dad. He's scared of people wearing sunglasses, and he cries when a room is dark. He puts his feet up on the dinner table. When he's eating at dinner, he crawls around and pulls on the shades, or he grabs a chair and starts using it to help him walk which makes a screeching noise on the floor. And if you take the chair away he cries. Almost anything he touches, he'll smack it around or throw it. When you yell at him or hit his hands, he thinks you're playing a game and starts laughing. Whatever he wants, he cries until you give it too him.

Our baby is 13 months old. We went to Grandma's house and she was reaching for newspaper. My brother slapped her hand- hard. He did't take the paper away or remove her. I was making a salad and the husband and uncle were watching her.

Yes, I am angry and told him we don't spank. We have an 11 year old with autism and spanking him only made the problem worse, so we used other methods which work well. He is really well behaved. The rules are firm, the consequences are in place. For time out, he sits, we talk, and he makes it right again. It works.

My parents both support us. They had said that they didn't think raising children could be done without spanking but we have shown them otherwise. My brother has no children and disagrees completely.

I am really annoyed at my brother and told him not to do it again. He said every kid deserves a good slap from time to time.

It will happen again. How do I talk to them and make it known that we do not spank?

My sister just had a baby, and as I watch her, she tends to move quite a bit as she sleeps. She'll twitch, smile, or move her hands or feet, instead of lay still. Is this normal behavior? She's about two weeks old now. Thanks for any help :)

I have a few questions regarding breastfeeding. 1. Other than increasing the times your baby feeds can you increase your amount of milk by pumping? 2. I have a 4 month old - I feel he isn't getting enough to eat. Today I fed him every two hours during the day - which is fine - but could my milk be decreasing??? He has been exclusively breastfed.
I am just worried I don't have enough milk. Thanks so much

When my daughter was left with her daddy (my ex) about 2weeks ago for one day he told me that his mom was not wiping my daughter properly. He told her and told her to go front to back but when he told her she told him she knew what she was doing and there would be no problems. He said she was even doing it when my daughter would have a BM. So since her grandma was going back to front could there possibly be an infection? If she has one would I have known by now? She is 11 weeks. And he just told me today what happened 2 weeks ago.

I have been breast feeding until now so have never had to worry about taking bottles of formula with me and warming it before my baby's feed. However, now my baby take formula most of the time. I can store it in a thermal bag with cool packs but how do I warm it up?

I just finished feeding my daughter and I noticed I have some sort of blister on my nipple. It's sort of purplish blue (like a bruse), and looks like it will start to bleed if I continue feeding on that breast.
What is it?

My son will be 5 months old in 6 days. Theres nights when he sleeps all through the night, but lately I feel like he's 2 months old again.He wakes up screaming for a bottle. I've tried to just comfort him back to sleep I've tried to just let him cry it out. But he wants a bottle. I have a problem with the nipple collapsing , I take it out of his mouth to let air in and he screams like he'll never eat again. I give him a full 8ozs before bedtime. I don't know what his deal is. Any thoughts?

In desperate need of sleep!!!

Earlier this week, my son had run a slight fever (99.9 was as high as it got at around 11 PM) Since then, he has been fine. However, I have kept him downstairs in his play pen to monitor him during the night. He suddenly started coughing (which he hasn't had this week at all) and he woke for a bit, and his cheeks were pretty red. He isn't running a fever, and doesn't seem to be in any pain (though the coughing has made him wake up a few times, and he just goes right back to sleep.) If he still exhibits these signs in the morning, I will be taking him to the doctor, but as it is almost 2 AM, I can not get my 6 year old out of the bed to haul him to the ER, as I don't see this as being an emergency situation. What does it sound like could be happening? (He has had a history of allergies, and he is 8 months old) Thanks a lot!

Once we got my one year old on table food she started to have diapers with whole food in it. I have seen her pass whole chunks of apple, whole pieces of cheese, and just today she ate mandarin oranges and they were only broken up into the pieces she chewed them into. There were little pieces of mandarin oranges all through her diaper. Is this normal? Should I get the doctor to test a stool sample?

The girl's baby's father is in his 20's, & he bought the alcohol for the girl to drink, & she's talking about feeding it to her baby. My friend just overheard the conversation & told me. Should we step in & call the police or leave it alone? It's my friend's sister's friend. I know that's kinda complicated. But my friend's sister's friend is 3mos. pregnant with baby # 2 @ age 15. & my friend's sister is 17 & she's encouraging it.
