.... to call her? I have asked my dearest friend Diane to assist me and DH during our baby's delivery. She agreed with a great show of positive emotions. My midwife has no problem with that, but she suggests I don't call my friend "too early on". What IS "too early on"? Diane says she doesn't...

I have ben debating what to dress her in. Would a onesie, layette nightgown and a blanket be enough for mid-November in the Northeast? The temps could be as low as 20 degrees. I don't want to overdress her as I am afraid of her suffocating in the car seat. I have a bunting, but even though it...

Based on the tests, I know it's just edema, not PE, but I'm really getting annoyed with the swelling in my hands. It's not nearly what I had last time, but it's just enough that my joints don't bend right (and hurt!) and when I try to do fine stuff, or even something like opening a soda bottle,...

I recently purchased a Kiddy Guard (mesh-based child gate that rolls up like a window shard when not in use), only to find that it is just a little too short to cover the span it was intended for. Does anyone know whether there is a longer-span version of the Kiddy Gard that I can buy?...

Nolan has some pretty serious diaper rash. :( I change his diaper often and apply Desitin before putting on a new diaper, which isn't helping at all. I have also tried Johnson's 3-in-1 and Vaseline, neither helped. He never had diaper rash until he was 12 months old (he is almost 15 months now) and...
