Sorry your ped is pressuring you. The World Health Organization recommends breastfeeding for at least 2 years and then as long as you are comfortable after that. Breastfeeding does not damage teeth....

Target carries puddle jumpers.
How old is she? She may just be dealing with some anxieties.
Honestly, while I think it's great if your kids will wear flotation devices, my kids never would. Sensory issues inherited from dad, they would freak out with any type of flotation device on them. I...
Sorry, not in this room, but I wanted to say I'm really sorry for all your anxiety over this. I went into preterm labor after DTD and it made me so anxious that for every pregnancy after that I was...
Gypsy Mama makes one. http://www.sweetbottomsbaby.com/Gypsy-Mama-Water-Wrap-Baby-Carrier_p_206.html
Also there's this one http://www.waterwrapcarriers.com/page7.html
You can get a swim wrap and wear the baby. The best thing is to have very strict rules about having permission out loud to get into the water and to always wear floaties. Puddle jumpers are great for...
I don't think you are overreacting. I would tell her to curb the bullying belittling talk in front of your kids or I'd do what you did and leave. I have had to avoid family members because of the...
My 8 year old boy and 11 year old girl occasionally shower together although they prefer not to most of the time just because they like to hog the bathroom. My 11 year old girl was a preemie and she...
As long as both parties are comfortable. I come from a very immodest family though. Nudity is not a big deal at all.
I agree with nursing as often as possible. Pump after feedings if you feel you need to. It is common for some doctors to recommend formula supplementation for jaundice, but it's not usually...
I don't understand this. I have learned so much about parenting over the years. I've made mistakes. I had epidurals, pitocin and AROM with my first 4 births. I didn't know any different, and I never...
Personally, I would not give cow milk prior to one year. I'd rather get up once a night to breastfeed rather than risk it. I didn't let my children cow milk until closer to 18 mos - 2 years because...
U/s done prior to 12 weeks are more accurate for dating. After 12 weeks they are not accurate for dating.
There are plenty of studies that show adverse affects on mother and baby while baby is in utero. Fetal distress is a big one. Use of pitocin during labor increases the mother's risk of post partum...
I was given pitocin with 4 of my labors to augment because I wasn't progressing fast enough. IN every one it took me 5-6 hours to dilate 1cm up until 4-5 then I went from there to baby being born...
My siblings had less to do with how many kids I wanted than it did with the spacing of those kids. I have a half sister who is 6 years younger and a half brother who is 12 years younger. My mom...
You could express just enough to relieve the engorgement and just lessen pumping times until you are done. Breastmilk comes in handy for all sorts of things besides feeding like diaper rashes, ear...
You should be fine to fly up until that point and beyond. I flew at around 32 weeks with my last with no problems. As long as you have a doctor clear it, you should be fine. It sounds like a great...
I would be very careful about weaning cold turkey. You could end up engorged and potentially develop clogged ducts or mastitis. It would probably be much easier on both of you if you just cut one...
Not to get off topic, but a couple years ago my 2 year old was playing in the backyard naked. They were playing in the water. A policeman was at the end of our driveway dealing with some sort of...
I just think that America is a little prudish in so many ways and this is one of them. I remember there being male bathroom attendants in the women's restrooms when I visited Spain. I know there are...
I believe he can also be treated with diflucan at this point. Might be a good idea to introduce yogurt into his diet on an ongoing basis for the probiotic benefits.
I think locker rooms and restrooms are very different scenarios. I wouldn't be concerned about a parent taking a child into an opposite sex restroom prior to age 10. There's very little that is going...
I have 2 sets of 3 that share rooms. My 4 year old and 6 year old twins are in a room and my 8,11, and 12 year olds are in a room. They wanted it that way. The older ones are generally ok. Sometimes...
