  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Elijah is teething I believe and along with it he has a runny nose, fever, he's fussy, and diarrhea. Those are typical for him but this time around he won't eat and simply refuses to drink anything at all. I wasn't worried until it's day 2 and he's hardly had anything to eat and just refuses to drink. Any ideas how I can get him to drink something or have something to eat that won't be to harsh on his tummy?

When my boys refused to drink, I would give them water or pedialite from a dropper. Even if you give them just a dropper full every 20 minutes or so, they will not dehydrate.
Has he been to the doctor yet? maybe he has something else going on, like an ear infection?
I will pray for your little one!

I'd definitely call his pediatrician and see what she says. But yeah, you really have to get some fluid into him. Popsicles are a great way to do this... how about jello? Try to make it fun too... maybe use a cookie cutter to make funny shapes of something he'd like. Praying for him and you.

How is he today? I hope better.

Does he have a favorite food or drink? Make that available to him. I also agree with popcicles or even sherbert.

Since you know he isn't feeling well it is a good day to spoil him, with anything he will eat or drink.

Try the pedialite popsicles, maybe he will take those. Are you still nursing? is he taking mommy milk at all or refusing that also? When my daughter teeths the ONLY thing i can get her to do is nurse, she won't eat or drink, my son was pretty much the same way. i would bring him to the doctor..maybe he is getting a bug of some kind also. I am praying for him to drink something...i would hate to see him dehydrate.

Thanks for the advice so far! We got him to eat a little and drink from a cup with a straw a little yesterday afternoon and evening but he refused anything else. The only thing he wouldn't refuse last night was nursing. So we've done that last night and this morning. He ate a little oatmeal this morning and I'm about to try something to drink, we also got popsicles so we'll try that after lunch. Thanks again!

Is it wrong from a Catholic perspective to evict adult children who are really screwing up?
