    Staph/OR Room...

    I have a bump on my leg that I'm afraid is turning into/already is a staph infection. My wife has a c-section schedule for next Thursday. This will be a "deal breaker" huh? They won't let me in the OR or around my newborn baby will they? I'm freaking out here.

    No Dairy - Meal Ideas...

    I feel like my poor daughter is eating the same things over and over. She has not been diagnosed as lactose intolerant or with any sort of allergy or anything - we just know that she is extremely fussy when eating cheese or drinking regular milk and it totally messes up her sleep. So, we think...

    Food Ideas?...

    I have a 1 year old - and am looking for other ideas for things to feed her. I know she can start on milk now, and we'll talk with our pediatrician next week and what to do with the formula/milk transition. She eats really well - I just feel like we give her the same things all the time...

    I need some help, advice - maybe just some time to vent! I've posted here before about sleep issues with my lo - she is about to turn one next week.

    Moving to Real (Table) Food...

    Some people are probably going to think it's crazy that our 10 month old is just now eating real food - but it's taken us a little bit to get her there. Maybe I'll find out she's not that "out of the loop". Looking for some tips/advice though - so far we've tried lots of things really -...

    Whiny 9 month old......

    It seems lately that's all she does - whine, fuss, cry - as best we can tell nothing is wrong. She recently went through a phase we thought she was teething - was snotty, rubbing at her gums, etc. - but no tooth. So, not sure if that is still some of it. We've tried giving her tylenol if we...

    Sleep Issues...Again...
