    An important question regarding infant death shortly after their birith...

    I think the death could be due to many reasons. But the moderators need to have a look at this thread!

    He Just Wont Eat!...

    Xero, first i must say that your boy is too cute!!! And don't get too stressed about the eating part. They cry for it if they are hungry and feeding an infant or toddler requires much patience. I recently got a high chair for my daughter so that she develops the habit of eating properly. Good luck!

    A Pillow...

    My daughter moves around in the bed while sleeping so much that there is no use of giving her a pillow. We make her sleep in her cotbed in one direction and wake up to see her in the other direction. I have put bumpers securely though. So i would say that it depends on your babies sleeping...

    6.5mos old feeding schedule ideas...

    I would recommend a solid at around six-seven in the evening so that the tummy is full and sleep is good. Though after that i give her a six ounce bottle before bedtime. My schedule is: 8-9am-6oz bottle (when she wakes up) 10-11am-6oz bottle (after massage and bath- i am transitioning her to...

    Going to the movies...

    I took my five months daughter to the movie. She seemed to enjoy it and slept after a while and then woke up to finish the remaining movie ;) We used cotton ear plugs so that the sound does not bother her much. It was a great outing i must say. After that we took her to dinner too. We usually...

    Daughter clinging to mother...

    I think it is perfectly normal in the first few years of life. Also consider the amount of time you spend with your daughter as compared to your wife and the things you do for the child...i mean do you play, talk, read stories, tell rhymes, give her a bath, change diapers... :)

    It's Everywhere!...

    hey there, ya i got your point. i am still to experience this kind of situation, so maybe i am wrong! But IMHO, It is human psychology that if one is rewarded not to do something, the behavior doesn't usually get repeated. And i was not saying to treat the kids for everything good they do (here...

    Online Shopping...

    I also do most of my shopping through ebay.com paying through paypal. As for the baby products, i would highly recommend Tiny love cot mobile (symphony light and motion) and developmental gym. My daughter loves the mobile so much that at night sometimes she falls asleep in her crib on her own...

    Wrong place?...

    I had low lying placenta with my daughter at 13 weeks which was diagnosed when i started bleeding. :( Thankfully, by 25th week it totally went up and things were fine. A placenta is called low lying when it covers the internal OS or cervix. But usually as the uterus grows the placenta also moves...

    I feel terrible, but.....

    If possible try to talk to the guardian before flatly refusing the 11 yr old. They should better make him understand that he should not be friends with 3 yo. In case you talk directly to him make sure your kid is not around and talk in a very polite 'politically correct as you said' manner...

    How far along when you found out boy/girl...

    I found out when she was born. We were not interested in finding the gender from the beginning. I bought unisex clothes before she was born and i am happy for that. Everything is not pink, thankfully. :)

    Body Image...

    I feel inner beauty appreciation should be a priority for parents. Outer beauty is skin deep and they should understand that it would go away with age, but it is your behavior and character that matters! The body image article was an interesting read. :)
