shirls have you looked at muffin recipes. There might be some that you can use them in.

Hi all, My 10 month old has completely turned off of her pablum, and now I have 4 half finished boxes of baby cereal (oatmeal, rice, barley) that I don't know what to do with. I hate to throw it away, if they were unopened I would donate them. Have any of you figured out what to do with it? Have any good recipes?

kikiea- my little boy has never slept through thr night but always while on or after vacations his sleep times and all do change from the different places and what we have going on. but i think if you just gave him a few more days it should go back once he knows he is home and all. which working full time for both of you would be tiring with how he is right now. i dont work but i know how you feel. we always have to wait for him to get back on his schedule after us being out of town

Hi Ladies - I need a little advice. We were away on a little vacation from Weds. thru Sunday of last week with our almost 19 month old son. We kept his schedule almost exactly the same the entire time. Bedtime at 8, etc. He had a hard time going right to bed while away. I guess, because we were in a different place, and we'd have to pat his back or hold him till he fell asleep. Now that we are back home, he still won't go to bed and is up crying several times throughout the night. We used to be able to sing, kiss him and lay him down with no problems. I know that there is nothing wrong with him, because as soon as one of goes in the room and pats his back, he lies back down and tries to sleep. But as soon as we leave he starts crying again! I don't know what to do anymore! We both work full-time and are now exhausted from getting up several times a night. We don't get to eat dinner until late, because he won't go to sleep! Any advice??

brodysmom dont feel bad :( I am 19 months post on my 3rd child and still look a few months preggers. sucks... ((hugs)) you are def not alone and it is never to late ~ core strengthening excersizes work best :) They are helping me tone :)

Perfectly said Bri ~ def normal and signs of teething. Babies dont know how to swallow their saliva like we do so it just pours out and soaks everything! lots of bibs and extra tops ~ took my kids about 3 months to cut a tooth after the drooling began ~

tylersmommy54 - This is completely normal and probably a sign of teething. I'm not saying that your little baby will be sprouting teeth any moment but it has to start somewhere. My son started teethting around 3months but didn't cut the first tooth until six months. Sucking on the hands is normal too. He found them! Anything found goes into the mouth. Isn't it wonderful! HAHA! It could mean that it feels good on the gums or they could be just an easy to get a hold of toy. Don't worry, the drool machine doesn't last forever. In the meantime you can keep plenty of bibs on hand and burp clothes. Have fun!

I NEED ADVICE!! ASAP!! FOr the pass couple of wks Ive been giving Brody children's benadryl because he would breakout in a rash & that was like the only thing that helped. we got a puppy (only had it for two days & I think BRody was allegric to it bc he would break out. Well for the pass couple of days ive been notcing that he hasnt been going pee as much as he use to. could it be that I damage his bladder from giving him benadryl?? i was told it was ok to give him in moderation!! or could it be that hes getting older & doesnt go through alot of diapers anymore??? im really scared that ive hurt him. i was told by a nurse that too much benadryl can cause difficulty urinating. please reply!!

sher- i dropped my baby once. i was going to sit on the couch to nurse him. before i sat down, he squirmed right out of my arms, and fell ab0ut 3ft. he pretty much landed on his head. i was actually on vacation with my husband, MIL, SIL and of course they were sitting right there and saw it happen. I felt horrible, ran to my room with baby and cried while i nursed him. he had cried for afew minutes but was fine. another time, my husband was holding baby at church while sitting and once again squirmed away and fell on floor right in front of the entire class of people. i was really embarrassed for my hubby, and baby was fine. maybe this is why he sees a chiropractor!! I dont, but dont feel too bad. its just the beginning of a lot of bumps and bruises.

Sher, dont sweat it! I was the same way as u..and felt the EXACT same way the first time Macey rolled off the couch..in fact im pretty sure I had a mild heart attack too. I have learned finally, that those things are gonna happen. My daughter is one now and loves playing on the couch and throwing the pillows on the floor, well this morning she was doing that, and as usual...she sometimes goes to drop the pillow but forgets to let go and goes to the floor with the pillow..usually it pillow pads her fall, BUT this morning she did like a reverse somersault and I seen her neck bend in a way that looked horrible..she cried for two seconds and was ready to play again..im pretty sure it bothered me more than it did her..My point is that it pretty much is gonna happen, and gets to a point that you cant always help it either. Keep her safe as much as u can, and accept that $h*t happens lol. You are NOT a horrible mom ;)

newmomcara- IMO it is easier to carry a sleeping baby in the infant carrier style carseat than trying to move them and it also gives you a place to have the baby if you go out to dinner or go visit (other than holding or passing from person to person, which could spread germs). Also, my MIL has one for all the grandkids but it didn't work very well for when they are really little. They kind of fold in half. If you do go with a convertible, look online to find out what people had to say in reviews.

newmomcara - 987 days ago.
my husband and i are thinking of buying a convertible carseat for our newborn. I am just wondering how other new moms like this or not..is it more of a pain because you don't have a carrier to just move the baby, or has it been okay moving the new baby from the car seat to some other carrier-baby bjorn or stroller?? Any ideas would be helpful..thanks!

Just wanted the opinion of other moms out there....I'm sure we all feel the same way about our little ones...that she are exceptionally intelligent for their age... Well my 13 month daughter (I feel) is really smart for simple reasons: She has 3 books(the hard back pocket sized ones)..an alphabet book,a fruit and vegetable book,and a numbers book. when asked to produce a particular picture lets say 'peas'..she goes finds her books and picks up just the right one ..opens it to the picture and says'mamma theees'(this) She signals most of the time when she wants to use the potty (occassionally wets her self).She can signal both the big and small job. If she happens to wet herself she looks awful..asks for the mop and tries to clean up the place. Can remember where she has placed her toys even if she has not played with them for a couple of days. Initiates games.She has invented a new game..where she sits in an uncomfortable position and calls out 'ahhahh'..so I say 'oh baby's stuck 'and help her stand..she laughs and starts over again. eats with a spoon..can feed herself an ice cream cone. rubs soap on herself when its bath time,pours water over her body with her mug to rinse off the soap. Doodles with her crayons on paper. Can do the actions to Twinkle twinkle little star ,incy wincy spider. Can sing along the main words of do a dear When we sing old Mc donald..she shouts out loud the sounds of the animals throughout the song. well and it can go on and on... she understands complicated commands since a while now..'look left you see your socks on the bed bring them along with your shoes' and she does just that.. Do let me know what do you'll think....since i'm a first time mommy..would like some advice/feedback .if any one of you get time to read my stuff..

My first son was vintage bears, my second was mother goose the cow jumped over the moon. My third is Puff the Magic dragon :) We had also considered Peter Pan for our 3rd.

Anyone have ideas on THEMES 4 a BOY? :)

2krazekdz - 1006 days ago.
Michelle, just a suggestion: Craig's list is a blessing in situations like this. More often than not you can get a really nice, easily used AFFORDABLE product if you look into it. We got a BOB jogging stroller for under a 100 bucks and it rocks if you don't mind hand-me-downs.

lyfe - an ear infection can take some time to show up even after there are other symptoms. The antibiotics take about 2-3 days to fully start working, and make sure you continue dosing them for the full 10 days. Ear infections are nasty. Hang in there it will get better, in the meatime continue with tylenol and advil.

Hey ladies I need some help/advice. I'm looking to buy a glider/ottoman set, but can't afford an extremely expensive one. I also don't want a crappy one with almost no cushion! I don't want my butt to hurt :) I keep sitting on the expensive ones in the store and they're amazing. But way over my budget. I'm looking to spend maybe 130-180? Anyone buy one for that price that was really good? Any suggestions are great! Thanks guys!
