My twins are 7 months old, and I know with my 2 year old son, it was so easy to get him to use a sippy cup right off. This isnt the case with my twins, everytime i offer their milk in a sippy cup, they refuse or don't know how to suck from it. How can I teach them to use this? Or, do I just have to wait until they are ready??

Anything!!!! With a 7 year old and a 4 month old, it seems like my days NEVER end. When the kids are asleep, I can usually sneak in a few minutes on the computer or reading (one of my favorite hobbies). Granted, when you have children you KNOW that life will change...however, we all deserve a break!! My question is what are some of your most SWEAR-BY time savers/short cuts in managing your everyday familial resposibilites (laundry, child rearing cooking, etc.) By the way, unhealthy/unsanitary tips are NOT what I'm looking for(i.e., cook all food in the microwave, bath baby once a week, take a shower every other day, etc....yuk!!). Here are a couple of mine (if this cuts off, I will continue it under additional details; be patient).

*I iron a week's worth of school uniforms for my son, as well as my week's wardrobe on Sunday nights. I try to cook two meals at once. I pack bags, lunches, and snacks at night. I do laundry early on Saturday mornings. What are your tips???

my 6 month old son has a cold. it started out kinda tiny and has become a runny nose mess. he is running a very low grade fever, and can barely drink his bottle since his nose is so stuffy. i've called his doctor and he told me to put vapor rub under his nose. i know that this is acceptable, but i really want to take him in. i plan on calling (again) tomorrow, but the thing is, the last time i brought him in for a cold the doc didn't do anything. i was informed over the weekend by a family member who uses the same pediatrician that this guy doesn't "do medicine." my problem with this is my son's cold is not getting better. so, my question is, what should i do tomorrow if he refuses to treat my son? i know that i am not a doctor, but i can tell when my little boy is sick. would i be out of place to politely insist on medicine? for now, i'm giving him johnson's vapor baths, using saline drops and infant tylenol. i am not a big drug supporter, but there come a time for them, right?

Let's just say his mother drives me insain, and she believes that she is God's gift of motherhood (when in reality she gave my hubby and his siblings Nyquil when they couldn't go to sleep when they were children) He's thinking he wants to bring her up to our one bedroom apartment even before our baby is born~! She's demanding, and just makes me a nerveous wrek! ISn't it better that there isn't someone staying with the new parents when a baby is just born? She's the type of woman to literally take the baby away from the mother! I want at least a week with our new baby girl before exposing her to his mother~!!! HOw can i tell him this!?! HELP!!!

920 sq ft. duplex. 2 bedroom 1 bath. there are two adults and 2 toddlers 1 baby and another baby on the way. One toddler is a girl and the other toddler and baby are boys.
Is this too many in such a small place? They are renting and they first signed the lease with only the two babies. Does the lease matter or could they get evicted for having so many people in their duplex?
This isn't me by the way!! It's a neighbor/friend kind of without a PC

Has it ever gotten to you that we only bring our children here to suffer. I feel really bad right now, my baby is sick, he has had this rash and it wont go away. And he has had pink eye and I cant get it to go away. I just called home, am at work, and he was just crying so loud that it hurt me so bad. My mom was putting on some rash lotion. The docter told me that we would have to take him to an eye doctor. Am going to and find out when can I take him. As for me, its the worst time to get sick, my side hurts really bad when ever I walk, and my lower abdomen hurt when i urinate(pee), I think am constipated, but am going to try to find time to go to the docter when ever. I work form 8-6 and go to school at night everyday, from 6-8:20. I just feel so overwhelmed. I just regret not ever taken care of myself before, since am just 18 and got pregnant at 17. It hurts to see that my baby is suffering because of my stupidity.
Anyways I really need someone to talk to .

I usually run, do yoga, a bit of pilates, swimming, and whatever random thing I can think of...basically, about two hours worth a day, one of swimming or running, and one of whatever else. How can I fit that or something else in while I'm taking care of the little guy? I'd like to take him with my for some things, but I cant spend the money on a jogging stroller, and while the baby yoga seems good for him it does nothing for me...
Any advice? Thank you in advance.

So since she absolutely won't eat the baby rice cereal (I tried giving her some for past 2 weeks already), I made her some pureed carrots (I boiled some organic carrots till tender and then pureed them really well in the blender) and she loved them. Also, hubby and I had some instant mashed potatoes yesterday with our dinner and I gave her a tiny taste and I could tell she really liked them becuz she didn't spit them out like she does with baby rice cereal. Is it ok to give her a little bit of prepared instant mashed potatoes once or twice a week followed by her bottle of formula or is this not a good idea? The potatoes did have a little bit of butter and milk in them but no salt. Also, since she loved the pureed carrots I want to continue giving that to her occasionally, so how much should I be giving her a day / week? I'm pretty sure at least the carrots are ok for her to eat since they are just plain organic pureed cooked carrots and nothing else. Can anyone advise please?

My 2 1/2 week old daughter has been going back & forth on breastmilk & premade formula. She's been doing great with both; no spit up. Yesterday we ran out of the premade formula & began powdered formula & now she won't keep it down. What's wrong?

I have heard both ways, but my fiancee thinks it will help our son to walk if he's wearing his flexible shoes. I always heard it's better to have your child barefoot as much as possible. I know he'll walk when he's ready, and we're not pushing him at all, but I'd like to know if shoes are better then him being barefoot?

I know many people will say that this is a silly question, but I bet that at least some of those people are hypocritical.

Yes, giving birth is a natural process, just like having sex, eating or performing your urinary and intestinal needs...

But will you deny that social precepts often don't make some acts more constraining?

Having sex in the first times can be inhibiting...

How about giving birth, in the presence of a certain amount of people (even though they are doctors or nurses, and so are for sure already used to this)?

Besides of that, I've also heard that women can have a poo (or fart) during childbirth...

Be sincere about this... After all, you are on the Internet (and I would never ask this in real life either...)
