My daughter got the same way once when she was about a month old due to the iron in her formula...Her pediatrician said it was fine to give her 1oz of apple juice once a day (the infant kind. Gerber has tiny bottles by the formula and baby food section...
Have sex! lol It's the best way to bring on labor. And his 'cum' will thin the cervix...I can't remember the exact reason why, but it does!
twilighmom put it perfectly...the cramping is from the 'contractions' of your uterus shedding the extra lining.
Sad to say, but yes, it is normal! The same thing happened to me and my doc said to wait it out. That my body was still adjusting its hormone levels. Are you on birth control? That may help straighten you out...or if you're on it, that could be one of ...
I'm pretty sure that you're not supposed to have sex that close your period without protection since your egg has already dropped from your ovaries... hence the reason for a period...shedding the lining and egg and ridding them from your body. You sho...
Kids with the 'problems' your daughter has thrive off of routine. That's why she feels the need to wake up at the same time every day. You're her mother, you should help make life easy for her and stick to a daily routine. Even when she's not in school...
He may be associating it with the xrays, but almost all babies do this eventually...Try buying a little bag of those shiny metallic stickers and distract him by putting them on his arms, hands or feet when you change him. I did the same thing with my l...
I also agree with ichi...Not every child will react poorly to whole milk before 12 months, but why risk the chance...Besides, it could take a few years for the effect that the bacteria in the milk has on a baby's stomach/digestive system to show up. Th...
I know some women who didn't get a period for a year after having their babies. In some of their cases, it was due to breast feeding. Others because their hormones were very up and down. Talk to your doctor like ichibanarky said. They'll be able to hel...
I didn't know anything about this method until I looked it up after reading your question. And the website I was looking at broke it down pretty well, but to be honest, I wouldn't trust it to help prevent pregnancy. Especially since you've just given b...
A hot bath, with a nice cold towel on my forehead and over my eyes, then a nap always seemed to help me! Hope you feel better :)
Believe it or not, cabbage leaves help dry it up...I was in a TON of pain when my milk came in (I also didn't breast feed) My doctor told me to buy a head of cabbage and to pull off an entire leaf and place one on each breast before I went to bed at ni...
It could just be braxton hicks contractions. They are similar (but less painful) to the real contractions you have during labor. Women confuse the two all the time since braxton hicks are sometimes a bit uncomfortable. These 'fake' contractions are jus...
I'm with rikki on this one! Little girls that age LOVE doing nails and all the 'beauty' things! My daughters 2yo and already loves to do those things!
I believe he only asked if he would start growing breasts, due to the lack of testosterone form having his testis removed...not because he thinks he'll turn into a girl...anyways, I'm not 100% sure to be honest. You should talk to your doctor about all...
...they're only 5 weeks...school is sooo far off. Babies that young are happy just sleeping and laying under a play gym all day! They won't really need 'entertaining' until they're about 3 months. That's when they start playing and observing more thing...
You should talk to a doctor to be sure, but some prenatal vitamins can cause strong smelling urine due to the amount of iron in them.
I agree with ichibanarky, it's hard to say. But I would bring up the concern to my doctor if I were you. It's better to get the surgery than tearing down there when you do eventually decide to have sex. My youngest sister had the same problem and we fo...
The same thing happens to me. I went to the doctors because I was worried about it. They told me I was anemic and gave me iron pill supplements to help take care of that. They also told me to take my time standing up. Instead of just going straight fro...
If you've been to the doctors, and she said it was just a yeast infection, then I'd imagine that's all it is. Why not tell the doctor your worries, she'll be able to answer all your questions. Can masturbation cause an infection, yes, as captainassassi...
If the bumps are 'IN' your vagina like your question says, then you may just want to get checked out by your doctor (being that you don't shave 'inside' your vagina). It could just be the way your 'stuff' is on the inside, but it could also be a few ot...
You could try buying a crib tent...that way you can keep her in her crib and the tent will help keep her from falling if she tries to crawl out.
Here's a link with some info that can help you : ) http://www.cardinalmccloskeyservices.org/foster.shtml
I would put her in the corner, and tell her why you're putting her there "You're getting a time out because you were being mean to your cousin. We need to be NICE to cousin." Let her stay there for 4 minutes since she's four years old, keep putting her...
A friend of my mothers has a son (who is now in the 6th grade, I believe) who was the same way...and he still is. I remember when he was in the 1st grade, and liked parading around in his grandmothers high heels, wanted to grow his nails and hair long,...
Strawberry ginger ale always worked for me. The crackers work too. You can try taking Children's Pepto Chewable Tablets. They're aspirin free, so they're safe for the baby. They should help calm your stomach. And I would take 2 at a time.
Instead of spending the money we get back from claiming our daughter, we put it in HER savings account. That way if anything comes up that she needs and we didn't plan for, we have a little spending money...we plan on doing this every year, that way it...
I was 10 days over due, then went into labor on my own...I was scheduled for an induction the day after I went into labor...thank GOD I went on my own!! I didn't wanna be induced, I hear it's WAY worse then going into labor on your own...
Always with new ones...then I did it once a week from the time she was born until she was off them...It gets rid of all the germs and helps little ones from getting sick. Even now (shes 2) after her colds I boil her toothbrush and the lids to the s...
No that's pretty much the biggest lie...you can get pregnant no matter what position you're in when having unprotected sex.
I used to boil my daughters for 5 minutes...but make sure you keep stirring them so them don't settle to the bottom because I'm pretty sure they will melt! lol
It's really all about the clothes you wear...try researching different styles of clothes for women with an 'athletic/gymnast' figure (they normally have the boxy look you say that you have). Wearing different colors/patterns on the top/bottom can REALL...
Haha! My mom did this to me once when I was little...I kept saying f*ck! I guess I was amused by the reaction she gave me when I said it...Anyways, she did it once when nothing else was working. I never said it around her again...It did, however, give ...
Water washes out a baby's natural electrolytes. In other words, a baby can become extremely dehydrated if given too much water for their tiny bodies. Also, it can possibly drown their systems, internally. Like mandyloo said, even at 3-4 months, only a...
I'm pretty sure every mommy goes through this with their little ones! Like mentioned, he is too young to understand, but he sees that hitting gets a reaction... Maybe once he's hit you, correct him and tell him be NICE (take his hand and help him 'p...
Just to add to the above...The first movements won't feel like a kick...The first time I felt my little girl move, I was about 3 1/2 months. It just felt like a flicker...I think the best way to describe it is that it feels like a gas bubble popping in...
Just buy feminine wash and save yourself the trouble of "testing it" as captainassassin said. I'm thinking that may burn too!
There are no signs that I know of that would occur BEFORE you even missed a period...Nausea, and MAYBE being sleepy a little more, in some woman. But those are the only things I could even believe are symptoms. Just remember, those symptoms could easil...
*This is the answer I gave someone who asked the same question months ago, I really didn't feel like typing it all over again!* Depending on how tall you are, you could do either run-way or photo shoots. Most places would like a run-way model to b...
Use a condom...People get pregnant on BC more than you think. Also, you've only been on your pill for 6 months. It takes a year for it to work to it's full effect.
I have no clue why anyone would think they feel good! I know everyone's different, but a hickey is a bruise...when you get a bruise, does it hurt? I have had one in my entire life, and anyone who I've ever dated after that has been warned against givin...
If you're as careful as you say, then the chances of you being pregnant are slim to none. I would say that the reason your period was so light, and the bloating, are due to your pill. Talk to your doctor and ask for a test. If by the slim chance, y...
You can also try giving him small ice chips. That's one way to get him to have a form of liquid in small amounts. Also, they sell kids chewable pepto bimol tablets. They say that you should ask a doctor for kids under 3 I think, but they do not have as...
It's not good for her liver, but it won't hurt her...she hasn't overdosed or anything. She must be in pain though. As long as she doesn't make it a habit, then she shouldn't have any future problems.
It sounds like a UTI like everyone is saying. Waiting too long can be dangerous and you can end up in the hospital with a kidney infection. Tell your mom, you shouldn't be afraid to tell her, theses things can be caused by bath soaps if you're sensitiv...
Just for the record...at least for me..."C*mming" and an orgasm are two completely different things! A girl can c*m without having an orgasm. It's still a "relief" but it's not the complete full-on effect of an orgasm. Some girls can get off completely...
I'm not sure why your body is still producing it, but talk to your doctor. It's nothing serious, I'm sure. But they can give you something to help dry it up completely. All I can say is, if your squeezing it out, stop. That can cause your milk ducts to...
I found that the early labor (contractions and dilating) was worse than pushing my baby girl out. I did, however have an epidural because I was afraid of feeling the ripping pain of a head coming out of me! lol But the contractions that help your body ...
Just want to add to the above advice... Stretch marks aren't only related to being over weight. They can occur when you get taller or start to develop hips/breasts during to puberty. (Your body is growing faster than your skin can stretch at these t...
It depends exactly what you mean by rough...I mean, if the baby is crawling up into your ribs to get comfy, then maybe he's pushing to hard...lol...I don't know, ask your doctor and be specific. Don't be embarrassed, they hear those questions all the t...
