    why do people have it in for big families?

    My problem. People who have large families and can't afford them and take from programs like WIC, subsidized child care, free insurance and such. I can understand if you originally had money to begin with but came into hard times, but people who just want large families but don't have the...

    Going Organic

    That is my major question as well. If they are completely natural, how do they really kill the bacteria. That is my only hesitation. I want something to kill the bacteria in the kitchen to prevent salmonella and all that other fun stuff.

    Homemade Baby Food anyone?

    Such a dumb question: When the food is frozen, doesn't zapping it in the microwave destroy some of the nutrients. I am getting ready to make my own food for baby (he is not quite ready). I will be steaming all the veg and fruits to retain the nutrients and don't want to loose any nutrients by...

    Childcare help!

    I work two days a week and absolutely personally love the person who watches my four year old and five month old children. The problem: She has four kids and watches several others. She is pretty organized and very clean BUT I don't see her giving a lot of attention to my five month old. I...

    amazing 6 year old singer

    He is pretty good. I really am against a kid singing a song like that, though. My goodness. Shouldn't he be singing a more "kid" type song?

    I am depressed...

    Thanks all! It sounds like some of you can definitely relate. I am glad to hear someone else had very similar effects with the Lamictal - helping with stability but not a lot with anxiety. Perhaps trileptal will help more with the anxiety. I have noticed this postpartum being a lot worse than...

    Baby Legs -- like them or not like them?

    Hmmm...must be the people I know around her. I belong to a diaper mama's group and most of them love baby legs...unless, the ones that think they are ugly just don't speak up. I guess that is probably the case.

    Baby Legs -- like them or not like them?

    I cloth diaper and am learning how to knit my own soakers. Those things are so great when you are at home and you are letting your lil' one crawl around in the very cute cloth diapers and don't want to hassle with pants. I have to change my baby more often because we cloth diaper. I have a boy...

    Oh my! - New, not lead related toy recal!

    We have them here. So mad! We just bought them last month for our four year old. He loves them. Those things kept him entertained for hours. Those little balls looks so darn harmless. I have a four month old so I just want them gone.

    Seroquel

    I think Remeron worked for me, too. I haven't had it for a few years now. I think it's much better than Seroquel although I think it did cause some weight gain

    Co-Sleeping

    My husband has no desire at all anyways so doing the cosleeping thing is really not an issue I don't think. We "very occasionally" will put our lil' one in his crib or in his swing (while he is asleep), to have our "intimacy." We both have always lacked desire. I think we may have separate issues.

    Co-Sleeping

    I have two sons. WIth my first, I didn't cosleep very much. I did for the first month. He took to the bassinet really well. He is now 4 years old. I do cosleep with my four month old. He was in NICU for seven days due to severe respiratory distress syndrome. I felt he was possibly at higher risk...
