I was wondering what were some of your funny "quirks" that you have noticed that some other mom's don't do?
For me, I HAVE to record how much and when my daughter eats! I have done this since the day she was born. I just write down the time and how many ounces she consumes. I first started this because my daughter was a not a big eater when she was a newborn, so the doctor would always ask how many ounces in a day she would eat.
Now, it's become a habit. I actually make her grandparents write it down too, if they are watching her. My husband always laughs at me, but it's something that makes me feel better.
What is one of your funny(or not funny) parenting habits that you always do.

my son is almost 8 months and i still didn't buy him a highchair because i still can't make my mind. there is tons of them out there but i like to read reviews and there is always some bad reviews that stop me from purchasing. please give me some advice from your experience. i like removable trays, sturdy chairs. price doesn't matter if it's a good quality chair.

Why do people go into a question and rate perfectly good and correct answers with negative ratings? Go get a life.

Quick history:
Caregiver fell with my son and fractured his skull
Went to specialist -he said everything was fine
Took him for 4 mos. shots, doc sent to be re-xrayed-afraid he might not be healing well
Specialist said he was perfectly fine
That was two weeks ago!
Today they call and say doc wants him to be re-xrayed in 6 weeks because he's not happy with the way it's healing.
Why did it take two weeks for him to change his mind?
Is it possible doc doesn't realize my son went in for his 6 week re-xray 4 weeks early because of his doc worrying when we went in for his shots?
I left a message for them to call me back.

Ok so I am starting to realize that if I make my own baby food it would be SOO much cheaper. But how?? My doc said just buy the stuff like squash, and stuff and boil it and mash it. But how long do you boil it for?? what do you do with it?? Cause I know they don't eat a whole squash. How long is it good for?? What all things can you buy and make into baby food besides like bananas and squash?? What else is there? how do you do pears and peaches, sweet potatoes, green beans?? Please help. Thanks

I dry pail, and wash every two days at the latest, and they come out lovely and clean, and still super white, but just a bit niffy (of the wee I imagine, not the ahem, other stuff). Is there anythign I can add to the soap powder in the machine to fragrance them a little, without causing irritation or shortening the life of the nappies? Any and all suggestions gratefully received!

My 4 week old could be prone to allergies as Dad suffers from Asthma, hayfever etc. The doctor said I was not allowed to feed her formula at all & to breastfeed up until 12 months of age.
I am having a really hard time expressing & am not coping with the lack of sleep.
Would formula during the night be an option?
Any other ideas?

why do you continue to critisize women for not breast feeding their babies? you say you want what's best for your children. so are you going to teach them that they need to criticize and look down on anyone who does not believe what they believe in? some women cannot breast feed. are you going to look down on my sister-in-law who has 4, almost 5 children with whom she would have loved to breast feed, but couldn't because she is allergic to her own breast milk, and it has caused her breasts to crack open and bleed? or do you still believe that she should let her children put their mouths on her breasts. i believe that breast feeding is the best thing. i would have done it if i had not dried out. my daughter got the colostrum and a little bit of breast milk. i gave her everything i could, until i went dry. but i want what's best for my daughter, so i have to give her formula. all i'm saying is, yes, give your opinions......WHEN WE ASK FOR THEM!

She is very nearly six months old and is breastfed. At night she still wakes every two hours which is kind of draining and I was wondering if anyone had any tips for helping her go longer.
She has had solids from 4 and a half months on the advise of the health visitor because she was dropping down the centiles and she is a big girl!
I can't leave her to cry because
a: I can't !! and
b: it wakes her siblings.
Any help much appriciated!

I know that this is pretty rare, but has anyone out there had children born with teeth? Did you have to get them pulled? My son is four months old and will be seeing the dentist on Monday. I just wanted to get an idea of what may happen.

I’m frustrated. I just lost my baby a little over a month ago and it seems like no one understands what I am going through and it’s frustrating me. It wasn’t a miscarriage even though I was only 23 weeks. He wasn’t a still born because he lived for 10 hours. He was my baby and now that he is gone I feel so empty. My friends just keep telling me to look at it as an experience and they don’t understand why it hurts me to look at a newborn. Even hearing a newborn cry makes me upset because I never had a chance to hear my baby cry, he was immediately put on a ventilator to help with his breathing. I don’t want to be a B*tch to my friends but sometimes I just want to scream at them. How can I make them understand what I am going through? Can someone who has never been pregnant ever understand what it is to lose a child?

Please no rude comments. Thank you.
