I am sorry you are having rough time. I hope that today is a better day. I am also sure that once you set up your homeschooling schedule, you will tailor it to your kids' personalities. Remember that...

In the past we have gotten stomach virus within 24-48 hours of each other. Some stomach bugs can be contagious up to 2 weeks after you are symptom free.

In addition to what PPs said, there are simple and complex tics. Simple tic is something like you described with the eye twitching. Complex tic is a series of movements performed in the same order....

I have always done swim shirts for both kids. We spend a lot of time in the water and the more cover, the less chemicals I have to put on them. DD was upset I would not let her get a one piece...

Thank you so much for sharing ... I am just praying that when the time is right to tell, that I will know that. We have discussed with DS other health related issues such as his tics and eczema and...

I really dislike them although not as a concept themselves but because of what is usually in them - candy and choking hazard junk (little plastic thingies like rings, small animals, etc.). Usually...

Thanks :)

... have you told him/her about their diagnosis? When? How much?

We have not decided whether (or rather when) to tell DS that he is on the autism spectrum (most likely Aspergers, he is very high...

Does your OB (your appt is with the OB, right?) answer calls after hours? If so, I would call today and talk directly to him/her and ask to be seen earlier - next time they are open.

I had an...

I am sorry you are having such a hard time. Hyland's makes homeopathic allergy tabs (and liquid as well). They may be okay while pg. Other than that I can think of Neti pot to do a saline rinse .......

I used it with DD when she was 27-28 lbs but she is "plump". DS is tall and slender and it fit him about the same as DD when he was about 33 lbs.

We use Kiss my face and DD who breaks out from just about anything can use it. I would recommend checking ewg.org for their sunscreen safety report. There is a link to it on the main page. You can...

I second the puddle jumpers. DS could still move his arms just like when swimming. I think that the inflatable floaties that go on the arms are dangerous. If one deflates, the child will be lopsided...

Just wanted to share for a little bit of chuckle .... we were in the car talking with DS about swimming lessons. He said very seriously: "Swimming is nothing to be afraid of, it's the sinking you...

This. I stopped bathing the kids together because they were getting too rowdy and each time I had a flood to clean up. But they often run around naked. When they ask about different body parts, we...

I posted at the same time ... I am sorry you are going through this. I had an ectopic in a weird spot that was on diagnosed until about 8 weeks. I was bleeding and it was assumed I was miscarrying....

It has been a while since I had my ectopic but I remember they would not give it if there was a heartbeat (i ended up having a surgery, not because of having a heartbeat but because I was bleeding...

Oh, OK. I thought it was a daily thing that he has a meltdown in school. I am glad to read that it is a rare occasion. I would probably just wait until the next pedi visit to ask about it.

Has anyone (like a behavioral specialist) been to the school to observe to figure out the trigger for the meltdowns? What triggers them at home? Are there any sensory issues that may be making it...

What about something based on your last name? DS and DH have the exact same name (no Jr or Third). DH calls it the "family curse". DS goes by Stevie (which is based on our last name) and DH goes by...

ITA that I would try getting in with your Dr or whoever is covering for him/her. I have never had a problem getting in to see another Dr in the office or a nurse practitioner for an urgent matter....

I am sorry but I would expect the daycare to keep the boys away from each other after the first incident. I think that both behaviors (biting, scratching and toy taking) are normal for kids that age...

I think you are right. Today the more experienced instructor was there and I could really see how she was correcting details in technique and how he progressed through the class. IMO, she recognized...

My first thought was "I do not know but my DD does the exact same thing." She used to use the potty completely by herself (except for wiping) but one time she got there late and by the time she...

I think that raw goat milk would be great. It is easier to digest. I have heard of many people making baby formula from raw goat milk. I would stay away from milk subs as they are processed quite a...
