Baby-poll poll How soon do you think it`s okay to leave baby with a family member (like grandma) for a few hours?
(Baby poll by windchime, 1252 days ago)
As soon as you and grandma are both comfortable with it. Even if baby is only a few days old.
Baby should be at least a week old.
Baby should be at least two weeks old.

It cracks me up the several page lists my sisters have left for my mom over the years--she raised all of us just fine! I shouldn`t speak too soon since I may find myself doing the same, but c`mon I even had a page note written to me on how to feed my sister`s dog his frosty paws doggie ice cream once! lol

My daughter was 10 days late and came on 21st December, we had planned to stay for Xmas at my Mum`s who stays 70 miles away,but ended up going a week later. When we got there she said she would keep the baby all night if we were ok with it and we were to go to my sister`s who lived down the road. I`d had a section and she wanted to give me a good night`s sleep. I felt guilty at first but we did it and it was great, my daughter was totally comfortable with them and I slept for 14 hours! I 100% trust my baby with her grandma so it was ok for me but it`s completely up to you.

for a few hours... when ever u both feel comfortable!! there is no set standard...

If you trust grandma and grandma feels comfortable, you can do it the next day if you want to. `I` didnt go anywhere for a long time after delivering. But I wouldnt have felt uncomfortable about leaving him home with my mom. I just wouldve missed him alot :D

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
