My friend has a 1 month old boy which she breast feeds she is trying to get him on to the bottle but having great difficulty. She is using her expressed milk so its not the milk thats the problem. She has tried 4 different bottle types with different teats sizes etc but no luck. Have you got any advise I can pass on to her or any types of bottles you have found worked well for you little one?

Thanks.

My boyfriend and i have been together 3 years, he is 23 and i am 20. We both want a child but at the moment we cannot afford to have one. We have decided to put it off until we both have our own house and enough funds for a child.

we both have friends who have children, neither parents work and they live in a tiny council house, they keep telling us "just to go for it" but i want more for my child.

are we doing the right thing?

I'm 40 wks pregnant and have to see my consult in 1 wks time. if i haven't had the baby by then he's going to induce me and i want to go naturally. Babes head is engaged and my cervix is soft, so its alll ready to go, but i think it might need an little helping hand. I really, really want this to happen naturally so i can enjoy the first part of my labour at home and as comfortable as i possibly can be. will try anything, however bizzare!

He says he is not ready (at 24) to either get married or have a baby, and he won't give me a timeframe in which he will be ready. I would like ideally to get married and have a family but marriage part is not essential. I am 27 and I would like to have a family before I am too old. Despite several discussions I still don't understand why he is "not ready" or what that means and I fear he may never be. I don't want to just go off the pill and surprise him as I don't think this would be honest. I also don't want to leave him as we have a good relationship. How can I persuade him?

Badly want to discuss regaining custody of my 5 year old daughter. So many details and issues it is impossible to include all factors in this forum. I am the biological mother and had custody until earlier this year. My own mother (who I THINK means well but is a bit "different" in her beliefs) lied to me up until the night prior to going to court, saying she was on my side, then gave the court a list of "beliefs" she had , these consisted of things like claiming that friends of mine were actually "boyfriends" (UNTRUE) also things like the fact that I had a neighbor who was facing forgery charges (he was found innocent, but what does this have to to with my parenting skills or with me at all?) This whole thing is nuts. My little girl cries every time she has to go back to her dad, I have to peel her off of me when I take her back to him. I dont talk badly about him around her, she has stated that she doesnt like/love her dad since she was 2 or 3. I am going crazy. Any help?

My friend just got her kids back out of foster care in Jan 06, the kids were ages 8 and 10. Well, the kids were taken for "dirty house" issues. My friend has cleaned her house and is doing great! Well, the other day while she was napping, the 10 year old was playing with the 8 year old in the middle of the den. According to the 10 year old, he was gonna karate kick his 8 year old bro, the 8 year old drawed up his knee to his stomach, like a crouching position in self defense, (to block the kick) well the older boys foot hit the knee and they heard a small pop, and the older boy went crying to his mom. she felt it was broke and had her neighbor (a veteran 22 year R.N) to look at it. She thought it was broke too, but said that they don't usually put cast on, the only thing a doc could do is make a diagnosis and administer pain medicine. My friend is scared to take the boy to the hospital because of past dealings with Child Protective Services, they just left her alone. What can she do?!!

My Shot was due 10/9. Ive had sex two times sense, both unprotected, and am not feeling so hot. I have been on the shot for over three years. If I was pregnant from my mishaps on 10/9 and 10/16...is it possible to already feel nausea? That started about a few days ago. I know you can get pregnant while on the shot and all that jazz. As the months go on w the 3 month cycle, does it get weaker each month? Cause me and my bf were pretty heavy during sept. and oct. Please, someone try to calm my nerves

My Dr. was so very carefully chosen but he disappointed me so much. Please be patient, it's long. Never throughout my pregnancy did he say he was going to be on vacation for the week before during & after my due date. Seems like that would have come up what with the BIRTH PLAN & questions about what we would do & expect in delivery. So, at my post dates appt. (4 days past est. delivery date), I met a 2nd doctor (surprise!) who told me, "my gut tells me you'll have a c-section." HUH? We planned a VBAC. MY Doc should have been the one to say that. Honestly since I'm 100% healthy, I didn't even believe him.

2nd Doc scheduled an induction for last Tues. My husband (a doc) asked if we could move it to Mon. 2nd Doc said, "No, let's go with Tuesday. To be honest, because of who is working." SEEMS to me that would have been a good time to say, "Hey, by the way, your regular OB won't be back, nor will I do it. "A 3rd NEW Doc" will actually be doing the induction." NOT even aluded to.

Well, my name is Dr. Jaeowry, and if you don't recognize, it's a Zulu name. I have lived in America for about 22 years, and just realized that somehow, before I moved here at the age of 19, I have a wife that I never knew about. I discovered this last week, and I've been happily married to another woman for 10 years, and we have 8 kids. What do I do?!

I am just curious about peoples' opinions when it comes to an unwed couple with a baby, and what last name to give it? I am 6-months pregnant, and already have a son, with my long-time boyfriend. When I was pregnant with my son, we discussed what his last name would be. I wanted my son to have my last name; my boyfriend wanted to use his. So we hyphenated...which I really don't like, but it's a compromise that let us both win. As I said, I am pregnant again and just thinking about the whole last name thing once more. We will give the baby the same last name as her brother obviously, but I would just like to know what others did in this situation? In my baby names book it said that in the olden days, if the couple were married, the child would have the father's last name (as tradition has carried forward), but if the parents were unwed, the child would have the mother's last name. What do you think should be done?
