Open for opinions: The best baby-care book for new parents. Assuming, of course, that you feel that new parents even need a baby-care book, but I'm a book person and my husband is a librarian, so we're probably going to end up with something, in any case. Anyone have any suggestions? Books you've...

All, Well, yesterday sucked. Taylor had a seizure around 7:30am. Luckily she was laying in my bed, in my arms when it happened. Addie was in her crib. Scared the crap out of me. It lasted about 10-15 seconds, then afterwards she was out of it and basically catatonic. I waited until the main...

Can those of you who know about these things take a look at this site http://www.milkface.com/slingsandcarriers.asp and tell me which sling(s) you think are good? I kinda want to order from them 'cause they're local. I am not too dextrous so want something easy to use. We don't have a stroller so...

Full price for =91=91baby=92=92=A0designer clothes???? I'm sorry, ( IMO ) I think it is very foolish to pay full price for designer baby clothes....I do however buy strictly department store clothes, only because IMO they last longer, wash better and the sales are much much better,,,, but I did see...

Well, I just tested positive for group B strep. I'm 30 weeks along right now. I've done some poking around the internet and am trying not to get too worried about it, but this is what I've found so far that I should do/pay attention to: * Avoid getting my membranes stripped (which my midwives do...

We heard that an infant is too small to put in a crib and should be in a bassinet for the first few months. I had planned on putting the baby in a crib from day 1. Is this the wrong thing to do?

....someone who has not yet had enough tests. This past week I received a consultant followup letter suggesting my small babies (Monkey Boy, age 2, and the current pregnancy now at 29 weeks) might be due to IUGR, and because I have none of the usual medical reasons for IUGR perhaps look for an...

At what point in a pregnancy do you start to worry about weight loss? I know that the generic answer is eat to hunger and drink to thirst and don't worry about it, just like it's feed a breast- fed baby on demand. But at some point babies have failure to thrive, and at some point weight loss must...

This would be my #2, and last time I had the exact same symptoms at 10 days after conception--we figured this out when I kept insisting I was pregnant and having nausea but tests were neg until I got to about a month along. Long story short, the timing could be such that I could be about 10 days...

Hello, I had my beautiful 9lbs 4 ounces baby girl last monday and had an epidural, very poorly done by a very nice intern. Something, don't know exactly what, went wrong ("See, I told you she was skinny", whispered the doctor literally behind my back). And so the doctor had to take over and I got...

Hi all, I really never, ever thought I'd be posting this message here, but I am expecting baby #3, due in July (7/4, to be exact). The reason I can't believe it is that it took 6 years to conceive our twin daughters, who we finally had via our 4th embryo transfer. They were born at 26 weeks in...

Babies are born with blue eyes, so, when do they change to their normal colors? ~Carol Ann Mom to Morgan born 3.24.04 http://tinyurl.com/299ot ---Pictures of Morgan

This may not be the place for such a question but I'm sort of running out of places to turn to for advice on this subject. My husband and I have a friend that's recently single (broken up from her fiance of 2 years) and just moved outside of Charlotte, NC a few months ago to start a new job. She...

About what? About people calling you out as a spammer? Well, let's see -- for one, your e-mail/user name is "Anonymous." Secondly, while your question seems appropriate for this group, your e-mail included a link to a blog and opinion poll on the topic. If you really are pregnant and...

There are two things that bother me. One is that a lot of people think they have permission to touch my stomach. People at work touch it all the time and don't even bother asking me first. The only person that doesn't need permission to touch my stomach is my husband. The other thing that...

Superstitious as I am, we haven't bought anything yet. I'm in my 21st week and I feel like I still have a bunch of time. I know that I'd like the baby to remain in our bedroom for the first 3-6 months as I will be nursing and I'd like to have the baby very near. I have a very generous family and...
