I bought 10 of them and they are too small. I forced myself to use at least one on Morgan and when she sneezed it popped open. If you have medium, large or extra large and could use the small, would you consider trading??? I have 9 not used. http://tinyurl.com/3zl95 ---Recent Pictures of...

I am willing to get anyone around Chicago pregnant. Just email me at . Thank you.

I went for a (free) weekend visit to the women's center at the hospital I gave birth at to see the lactation consultant- I just had a few questions to ask about basically etc. She had just finished up with a breastfeeding class, and said she wished I had gotten there earlier to talk to some of...

Hey Amy and the other posters from NZ, I just read that you guys got a big winter storm! So, I guess it's not raining anymore (that is, if you are in the affected area)! :-) I hope everyone's OK, though - sounds like it was a bit nasty what with blowing some roofs off and all.

My baby is 5 mos (3 mos adjusted age). She keeps herself entertained very well when I put her on the floor with all of her toys. My question is: Is there such a thing as a baby playing by themself too much? There isn't a whole lot that we both can do together right now, but that doesn't mean...

That's it: quite in advance, because he always feels he "owes" something to his boss and colleagues, DH has announced to them that he will be taking a two-months parental leave (January and February 2005). He will also be taking one week of vacation after I give birth in November. He's filled...

William saw the ped today for his well-baby. My 11lb 22 1/2in newborn is now 19lb8oz and 27 1/4 inches at exactly 4 months. Didn't do any shots, as we are doing delayed/selected vax, will likely start with something at the 6mo visit. Wanted to discuss it with ped, but ds1 age 4 was a mental case...

I read the other day that when your child is able to eat solids, they should also drink from a cup. Morgan is going to be ready soon for solids, but has never used a bottle. Can you go directly to a sippy cup? Is that possible?? ~Carol Ann http://tinyurl.com/33uk7 ---Recent Pictures of Morgan...

One of my baby's eyes tends to cross in towards her nose. It's not extremely pronounced, but enough for me to be able to tell that it's not straight. It occurs mainly when she's looking off to the side or looking up at me. I've read that premies tend to have this problem and that it...

Hello All, I know no one has asked, but there is a neat little site I found that sells "ultrasound art" and I thought that was a pretty neat idea, so i thought I should share. It's hard to explain what the artist does, but he includes your ultrasound pictures in a computer collage thing. I would...

ROGER AND ME... Roger D. Masters, PhD ) wrote to me: "Give me a break. Silicofluoride is SO MUCH WORSE than sodium fluoride that it is about time you focused on the REAL problem." Roger, It is a BATTERY to medicate without consent - regardless whether the

Sigh... we're moving to Minnesota, and our house is up for sale. We got two offers in the first week, and got our asking price. However, when it came time for the inspection, the inspector said that the septic field needed to be replaced because it was very wet. Say what???? We've never had any...

Sudanese babies going cheap!

Enjoy your future, whilst it lassts.

Happy Belated 1st Birthday, Jennifer's (HOWA476) DD! I hope you had a wonderful day! :-) -- Brigitte aa #2145 http://ca.geocities.com/bironmonger/ Please excuse the quality. It is under construction and I am still learning. :-)

The baby is putting odd pressure on my left side. I feel pain when I try to inhale fully. DH wonders if it's pressure on the diaphragm. I probably still have an enlarged spleen (long story, but let's just say that my spleen is not a normal size and hasn't been for at least a few years, but I've...

I have been holding off on this one because DH ticked me off yesterday (ok not hard to do i am 31 weeks pregnant;)) When I was in labor with Bonnie I kept getting left alone and i did not like it. DH pointed out that it was never for more then 6 minutes (cig breaks) but I felt abandoned none...

Well, first of all, thanks to everyone for the BP lowering/PIH advice. I am drinking more water, trying to rest more, and taking more magnesium. I am not as swollen as I was that one day. And at my appointment today, I was not spilling protein, and my BP was 128/80. I still find that high for...

OMG this had *better not* continue. Last night was so painful that I begged for contractions. Everything in my pelvic area (pubic bone especially) was just horrible and wouldn't stop. I'm assuming that the baby is lower and is putting more pressure on everything. My midwife gave me evening...

Posted this over at mkb, but no luck so far, so I thought I'd ask here even though it's not entirely on topic for a pregnancy group: It seems to be accepted wisdom among breastfeeding advocates that bottle introduction should be left to 4 - 6 weeks to reduce the risk of 'nipple confusion', and...
