I want to have the baby sleeping very close so breastfeeding is easier. We already have a crib, but have been looking into bedside sleeping options. Things we've considered are the Graco Pack n' Play w/bassinett, a regular bassinett, moses basket, etc. What works best, easiest?

Ok, I'll admit it. My last pregnancy I gained 65 lbs. I lost it all but it took a looooong time... This time around I had all sorts of resolve to eat great, and only gain the magic 25-35 lbs. But as soon as the morning sickness hit, I ate whatever I felt like, and even when the nausea...

I have had a headache for 2 days straight now. It really sucks to wake up with one. Is this normal? I can't think of what I could do to make it go away. I drink plenty of water and get enough sleep, eat well, etc. Tylenol doesn't seem to help. It's just a low grade headache, but is starting...

Dear Forum Members, Most people in the alternative healthcare field have heard of radionics, yet few understand what that discipline is actually about.

Hi, has anyone experienced the baby with jaundice after 3 weeks of life? My little Rachael was born 3 weeks ago and still looks jaundiced (with total bilirubin 278 and direct one 11).

As I wasn't able to keep anything down, the doctor prescribed me first phenergan and then zorphan(because Phenergan made me sleepy all day long which is a problem at work). I have been taking...

Hello all. Quick question for the well-read out the I find that eating candied (=crystallized) ginger is *wonderful* for relieving this horrible 24-hr-a-day queasiness and bloating, but I am not of the camp that believes "if it's natural it can't possibly harm you", so I worry about how much...

If anyone has any advice or reassurance, it'd be appreciated. I am currently 30w 6d with what'll be my first child, no problems til now (other than boy oh boy is this ever an active baby! :-P), no risk factors for preterm labor except for my age (I turned 39 yesterday) and *possibly* having or...
