i hear it can be wrong and that wise tail about holding a pice of string and a wedding ring tied on it i hear sometimes that works to.so i wanted to try it and it keeps going in a cricle(which means its a girl) no matter how many times i do it.But i was told mine is a boy?so i was wondering how many have had the ultrasound wrong and if they have tried the string thing?

My son is 14mo old and we are down to one feeding a day. I have finally got past being engorged and in pain. I know we are getting close to the LAST feeding and I'm very emotional about it and want to make it special and memorable. Do you have any suggestions?
Please don't ask why we are stopping. We've made this decision as a family and it has been the most wonderful experience. I just want to be able to make the last feeding "perfect". Any ideas?

Ps. Sorry Mystic...I know you hate this question since you beleive in extended nursing, but baby and I are ready

I've seen many answers on here where women say they couldn't breastfeed due to medical issues. I wanted to know what they were!

Personal stories would be great!

I have no plans to do this but my boyfriend thinks that it would be fine to leave a baby home alone for a few block drive while i would take him to work. I was just wondering if anyone else has ever done this and what your opionin of it is?

I am just curious how long it took all of you to get back into your pre-pregnancy clothes. I could finally fit back into mine after about 8 1/2-9 weeks. I only gained 26lbs and lost about 9lbs when I gave birth so I only had to lose 17lbs.

Just some wine (for my guests...not me) Appropriate or inappropriate? There will also be a sparkling cider punch.

the night. She wakes up for a bottle 3 times a night and she is almost 1 yr old already! I can't let her cry it out at night because she will keep my son up. I was wondering if I let her cry it out during the day with her naps will it help with the night time.

I am going to a baby shower for a first time mother and I want to know the best things to fill a semi "self-made" gift basket. Please list the things you would like, and possibly not like... it would really help me out.

I have a 14 mo. son and a husband who leaves at 730 for work, arrives home at 530-6pm. Between that time, I take care of son 110%. Every second he needs something or is crying constantly and I am BURNT OUT. There's no guaranteed breaks and barely a minute in the bathroom. I am also trying to diet and every meal, he's crying! 100% rushed.

I feel like an absolute slave or single mom. My husband gets mad when I complain saying 'how can I help I'm at work?' and gets defensive. I am with him 24 HOURS/DAY whereas he goes to work with adults and no screaming baby.

He's drinking way too much whole milk for his age, 1/2 the finger foods go on the floor, he prefers milk (is this typical?). Barely uses sippy (sees as toy). Walking, and always hurting himself being curious. So sick of crying!

My mom lives far and is always busy, his family is busy/awaiting new baby. 1 day he naps 3 hrs, next 30 mins.

He bats at my book, always hurts me: hits, throws, pulls hair. When will this get better?

My preemie is not getting full during her feedings and she's only two weeks old. She's already taking 8 oz at every feeding. I breastfeed and bottle feed her and it doesn't seem to be enough. She cries until I give her more. Any suggestions?

I want to breastfeed baby but I had a bad experience with my nipples chapping and hurting before. I am thinking about getting the breast pump and expressing milk for baby instead of feeding directly from the breast. Or should I even bother?

I just have some questions about feeding a child under 1. My daughter will be 4 months old in 2 days. I have just started introducing rice cereal. every other day in the evening next week will start evey day. I see the doc. on monday so i will ask her too but i just wanted to know what some of you did. When do I start jarred foods and when I do, how much in a day and when? Also, when do I start table foods- foods that we eat in small pieces? when i do start those, will i totally eliminate jarred food? how much formula should a baby drink when eating jarred food and table food up to 1 year old? thanks!! just bored at work and figured i'd get some input!

Mama cat is carrying her newborns away from their box. She carries them erratically, sometimes by their belly. They are screaming. Is this normal? What can we do? We don't want to lose these babies (4). This is mama's first litter. They are 3 days old and seem very healthy otherwise. Should we try to stop mama from carrying her babies by their bellies?

hi, i have breastfed my 23 month old son till about a month ago, but i did bottles in the day and breast to get to sleep then breast if he woke at night!
In august we went on holiday and i increased my breastfeeding sometimes to earlier in the evening as hard to get bottles warmed up!
I have been on the mini pill all the time, and mostly having very regular periods, which have now stopped, has this happened to you, the chemist said it's because i increased breast feeding! I have since virtually weaned him off breastfeeding!
I have taken pregancy tests which are neg!
thanks!
