baby

His doc said to give it bc they will run low grade fevers. My son has been running right under 100 almost everyday. Even though he told me to give it for pain and fever I really don’t think its good for his liver to give it everyday. I don’t take meds myself unless I absolutely have to. Tylenol is the first medicine he’s ever had because he’s never been to the doc for being sick. I give him the dose he told me to give but I just don’t five it as often and only when I think he really needs its which is in the late afternoon. I’ve tried the teeth gel and tabs but it really doesn’t help his pain. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated…extra points!

I have nothing to do, plus I have never asked a question before. So this is what I have in mine . . .

. . . . . Yeah . . . . . . my purse surprisingly isnt THAT heavy. . . . . ok, so what’s in yours???

my husband and i decided we would like to start trying soon. i would love to have a baby this year. i’m 22 yrs old and i read the healthiest babies are born to mothers 17-22. so i dont want to leave it too late. especially as my husband is a bit older. anyway he’s a nutritonist and he gave me a list of things to do, he wants me to do this for a whole six months even before we start trying….. lol
1. I can’t eat any junk food, which means no chocolate :’( Also fast food, red meat, table sugar, salt, coffee and alcohol are all off limits.
2. I’m only allowed to eat organic food and I have to eat 8+ servings of fruits & veges everyday and 3+ servings of fish every week….. (i *hate* fish)
3. I have to take folic acid , multi vitamin, fish oil supplements
4. I have to exercise 6 days a week. My husband also wants me to gain 10 lbs because I’m only 100, but with the diet & exercise…. how is that possible??
5. I have to “cut off” my friend who’s husband is a smoker. I’m literally not allowed to see in person until the baby is born.
6. I have to throw away all my makeup and skincare products (because of the “toxic chemicals”). I’m only supposed to use toothpaste, soap, shampoo, and a few other essentials.
7. we have to hire a cleaner to clean the house because I can’t touch cleaning products (chemicals again).
8. and a weird one: I’m not allowed to go to the gas station to fill up petrol in my car.. lol
ive just summarized it , the actual thing is pages!
Do you think this is a bit over the top? By the way my husband already has two grown perfectly healthy sons and I bet his ex wife never had to go through any of this…. :’(

On Monday there was an accident down the street from my house. It’s a median intersection with stop lights, and they had the whole thing blocked off with caution tapes. The accident didn’t look *that* bad, i’ve seen Alto worse. Just a van and a car collided. So we were all trying to figure out why all the ambulances and helicopters and caution tapes. Finally find out that a little boy was thrown from the car That’s all we knew until this morning. He was airlifted to Children’s Hospital and died Wednesday, he was only 4 years old The paper said the van ran a stop light while the car was turning left. The paper had the moms statement, saying her son was in the middle seat of her car, buckled with the vehicle seat belt, but was not using any child safety seat. Now the van driver is being charged with reckless homicide.
He was only 4! My question is WHY wasn’t he in a car seat. The law (at least in WI) states you have to remain in a booster until age 8. At 4, he could still be using a 5 point harness car seat. I know my niece was in a car seat until she was 5 1/2. More than likely that car seat would have saved his life!!! This story just hits too close to home for me (literally!).
Why are parents so careless when it comes to car seat safety? I mean even people on here…make comments about how they turned their child forward at 10 months or they would never keep an older child in a car seat, it’s embarrassing for them, or keeping a child rear facing is uncomfortable! There is a woman in my apartment building who has a 3 year old and a child under a year. The 3 year old has been in a high back booster for AT LEAST the past year and a half and the little baby is forward facing, he’s about 8 months! Now the little girl sits in the same booster but without the back! I see this ALL the time, even my family! I know so many people (from working at the daycare especially) who buy the littlest car seat and when their child grows out of it at 2 or 3, they don’t want to spend the money on a bigger harnessed car seat, so they just end up buying a booster seat! Then there is me who has my daughter rear facing still at 16 months and gets told i’m not “following directions.” Ugh! This just pisses me off! It is just me, or does this stuff bother you too? I just feel horrible after hearing this!

I have a Snugli infant carrier a was just wondering around what age did you turn the babies around to where they were facing out instead of to your chest?

8 days ago my 7 y o border collie was dx with large aggressive inoperable brainstem tumor and takes 10 mg predsisone per day and i changed her diet from kibble to zero sugar zero carb all organic chicken eggs and veggies plus budwig flax and cottage cheese and she did really well she ate her dinner tonight well and her eye redness went away and she quit buckling her paw but her eyes are crosseyed all of the sudden this morning and now she wont get up even for water which she’s crazy for water usually and her eyes arent red still and no seizures or crying and her heart and breathing are normal and gums pink but still wont get up and im afraid shes dying the vet said he can’t do anything anyways so not to bring her in please help is my baby dying????? sorry bad typing can only use one hand

Just wondering, I’m 33 weeks, expecting bubs # 1 , no sign of colostrum seen yet.
Is there any relation that if your colostrum leaks earlier, you will have more breast milk when baby arrives and you can breast feed for a longer period of time than others?
God bless

Well my story starts of as a school girl, like any other teen (Me at the time) 14 years old and full of pride i had my first real boy friend and i loved him sooooo much, Oh and of course i thought i was invincible i wanted to marry him and would do anything for him i even slept with him.
I have to add this bit (my mum if that’s what you could call her was okay with anything i done hey she’s the first person to offer me marijuana and yes i accepted i had such a great role model, My father was not around)
Anyway getting back to it, I was starting to have a lot of days off school i was real sick my mother asked me “when was your last period” i shrugged it off and said “Last month” My mother said “maybe you should got to the doctors”, I didn’t know what she meant i was just sick.
I was at a friends I told her about what my mum said her response maybe your pregnant, I was dazed i said “I ain’t having no baby”.
I did decided to go to the youth clinic and my friend came with me the doctor their confirmed i was indeed pregnant i said the same thing i said to my friend i ain’t having no baby i want an abortion, So the doctor wanted a ultrasound, Had a ultrasound that day the tech asked if i wanted to know the sex i was like no i’m having a abortion, she walked out of the room and a doctor came in and talked to me about i was to far to have a abortion and there was other options i discovered i was 23 weeks pregnant and i was having a baby boy .
I was stunned i didn’t know what to do, I had to tell my mum As i walked in the front door i walked up to my mums bedroom where she was i sat on the bed and said “I went to the health clinic” my mum said “Oh yeah” I said “I’m pregnant” she took a deep breath in and told me about the option told me not to interrupt after she gave me the options number one been abortion, number two been adoption and three been keep the baby and she would be there for me.
I said to her “I can’t have a abortion i’m to far i’m having a boy”.
I am surprised that my mother did take the news pretty good.
I had a healthy pregnancy and Morning sickness like no other i also turned 15, and then at 36 weeks and after a 36 hour labour i gave birth to my Beautiful baby boy weight 7 pound 9 oz and 46 cm long, i was amazed he was the best thing that ever happened to me (Oh and the father was to young apparently to be a father).
after spend 8 days in hospital and then i took home my baby, My mum helped out a lot and she was so proud her first grandchild.
Then 4 weeks after i had him i was aroused to discover he was not breathing i’m not going to go in to detail about exactly what happened but the ambos confirmed it.
i got a letter in the mail from the coroner and the findings said nothing and death was pronounced as sudden infant death syndrome it broke my heart into a million bits and part of me died that day.
I now realise it’s hard enough to have a baby at 15 but then i had to bury my baby, It’s the hardest thing i have ever in my life had to do.
I had another baby at 38 weeks 8 pound 9 oz 55cm long i was 17, a little under a week until i turned 18, She was gorges and i was **** scared. (I started dating her father not long after my 1st baby left me)
I then discovered i was pregnant with my third baby when i was 19, I had some trouble while i was pregnant my 3rd baby the umbilical cord was deformed and they where amazed that i made it to 41 weeks and said that usually the baby would have not survived past 12 weeks in the womb I gave birth to her she was so little and amazing 6 pound 2oz 45 cm long, soon after giving birth i had major hemorrhaging and need and D&C and blood transfusion, when i did get out of hospital i got really sick and had to be re-admitted i had septicemia and could feed my baby until i was better.
(In the mean time me and my girls dad split it was the best choice he badly abused me while i was pregnant with our second baby).
when my youngest daughter was 6 months old i met a man he was an amazing friend (I’m now married to him he is the best man in the world and i’m so happy i found him he brought 3 baby’s of his own and we made us a family he has all boys they are great kids and my girls love their step brothers as if they where their own blood and flesh brothers, year of births 1999, 2001, 2003)
When my youngest (at the time was 18 months old i discovered i was pregnant my pregnancy was a Breeze and at 40 weeks i gave birth to a wonderful baby boy 8pound 2oz 49 cm long.
Last year in june i discovered i was pregnant i was amazed (I wanted another boy) but tragedy struck and at 16wks + 5 days i had a miscarriage, The baby i miscarried was perfectly formed it was a little boy, I am heart broken and words can’t describe what this has done to me, If i could give my life for both my angels i would do anything, I would spend the rest of eternity in hell just to know my baby’s are safe and well.
right now i take every month as it comes in hope i can have anothe

I have been attending an LCMS church that my sister and brother in law go to. I really like it but my brother and sister in law insist that my two year old has to be baptized. I’m not against infant baptism and don’t judge anyone who does it but I feel that my son should have a choice what church he wants to go to and get baptized into. I was raised mormon and had the church forced on me and don’t want to do the same for my son. My brother in law says that since my son can be naughty sometimes (like all children) that he is sinning…. I don’t believe babies go to hell for not getting baptized. Do people really believe this???

I have nothing to do, plus I have never asked a question before. So this is what I have in mine . . .
