Fantastic post and so true. Glad you wrote it x

I took Blake to the ER last week two nights in a row. The first time i went he had a fever 102. and turned out he had croup. He sounded like a dog barking and every time he would swallow his milk, he would scream. They had to give him a steroid shot, breathing treatment, and oxygen because the poor thing could not breath. The second night I went they said it would just run its course 3-4 days. They said to use a vaporizer and give him Tylenol for any pain. I used a vicks plug in. It looks like a night light, sits on a table and you put a flat stick in the compartment and close it. It heats up and releases the vicks. Works well to clear the nose and as a night light. I would take her to be safe because she may have RSV. Good luck!!

I just read you comment about how to raise your daughter without appologising to every Tom Dick and Harry along the way. Good for you... You are going to be (actually I will say you ALREADY ARE a WONDERFUL MUM) xxx

We use the Vicks plug ins. It's a little night light with a VICKS insert. It fills the room with the VICKS scent and helps clear the baby's nose!

Message to all: This message is not intended for any one person, but a general statement to all members of the site. After hearing what you all think in regards to posting photos on the forums, we have modified the rules and ask that everyone familiarize yourself so that the site continues to remain friendly for everyone, including new members. In an effort to be respectful of all members of the site, we ask that members do not post more than ONE photo or video per person in the weekly, monthly and information forums. Your ONE picture should be small in size as well. Any large photos will be deleted. You are welcome to post as many pictures as you would like in the photo books, which were created for the purpose of sharing and viewing photos. You may also post as many blogs as you would like with photos in them. We understand that many members enjoy posting and viewing pictures on the forums, but this is not where they belong. We must keep the pictures on the boards to a minimum so that the written comments can continued to be written and read. Otherwise, the numerous amounts of large pictures squash the messages and they become missed. We ask that this modification be respected, therefore any member that continues to post numerous pictures a day will be deleted from the site. Thank you all for helping us keep the site friendly and welcoming for all members.

I just read your deeper thoughts post and I'm so glad that you wrote it. I have often been accused of being rude when I respond that it is none of anyone's business, but I really feel as a parent it is our job to take care of our children and make the right decisions for them and ourselves. As for the weight issue-- none of us want to look like we just had a baby forever, but maybe the world should allow us a little time to take pride in our accomplishment without worrying about how we look. Thank you.

While I wipe my tears away I thank you for your post. It opened my eyes to alot of things.

i just read your deeper thought post and aside from me having a boy, it was completely dead on, i'm so glad you wrote it.
it really touched me

crazyeights - Saturday, 6 December
Well said!! I am with you on every word of it.

Peach - Friday, 5 December
Yes. Raise your baby well to your standards, not to what you think popular culture thinks is best. No need to apologize when you are doing what you think is best!

mommy2connor - Friday, 5 December
Your post is something I've been wanting to say for months. THANK YOU for saying it out loud!

mrsclev - Friday, 5 December
I loved the post!! Wow, took the words right out of my mouth!!!

jamesmom - Friday, 5 December
well said! you just put into words what every woman feels when they become a mother. we should all care a little less about what other people have to say about our parenting ideals

donnaq - Friday, 5 December
I applaud you! Good for you for saying it like it is. I recall all to well having to explain the breastfeeding issue as well as if I am going to have more kids or not.
Your baby will grow up to be an amazing human being with a Mom like you.

mama-mimi - Friday, 5 December
I agree with everything you said...I just got back from Thanksgiving with the family...if I heard one more time "Why does he eat so much...maybe it's your milk" "Why is he so fussy?" "Why is he napping?" He eats every two hours, naps upto three times a day...and he's fussy becase there are 5 different people in his face trying to make him smile. I worked hard to keep his schedule and they all worked hard to break it. Everyone has advice and comments and the older I get the less tolerant I am to it. You're a wonderful mother and knows what's best...never forget it!

lOVED THE POST. HOW DO you pronounce your name Amelie? Is is like Emily?

JKs-Girl - Friday, 5 December
I wanted to tell you that you took the words right out of my mouth about your thoughts! I could not agree with you more! In fact, when I feel like someone is saying I am doing something wrong with my child, I am going to have them read what you wrote, then they can go from there! Good job!

Hi Bo! I LOVED your post!

Message to all: In the last 2 years you all posted 1.1 million photos to the site, and that needs a little maintenance. We are currently renaming all photos from the personal photobooks in order to speed up the site. Some, or all your photos may not show while we are working on the photobooks. You don't have to do anything. We hope to have all photos sorted in about 24 hours from now. You can upload new photos to your photobook while the computer is working on your other photos. Thanks for reading.

today i found myself almost in tears because i felt so lost. trying to get everything right and be a "perfect mother" . i have been angry at myself for not breast feeding, losing my baby weight and not having a tidy house. i read your post and realised that i wasnt alone. You made me feel better, because i have a beautiful baby girl whose happy healthy ( albeit covered in drool!) and im doing my best and that should be enough for everyone else! so thank you, your words soothed me ! god bless and merry christmas!

lilfishn - Friday, 5 December
great post. I hope that it gets through to everyone. Its frustrating when fights break out on this site (vaccinations, bf, epidurals sp, etc etc). Think people forget this is a site for support not judgement. Opinions are welcome but the preaching is just too much sometimes. Again little mama I loved your post.

momoffive - Friday, 5 December
Wow, you should repost that comment in the month one of pregnancy page. I felt so judged and insecure in every decision that I made with my first child but with each child I've had I have gained confidence. You've gained the wisdom of a mother of many when your first (I am assuming) is still an infant. I just may pring that page and refer back to it when I am feeling insecure.

Gbaby3 - Friday, 5 December
I feel the same way... Were expected to be perfect. I spent countless hours every week inthe gym before and during my preg. Then I felt guilty that my son was only 5 lbs 13oz at birth....I kept thinking that I had done something wrong. Then were expected to go back to work right away. Many ppl look down on sahm assuming that they're lazy. Societys rules trying to bring strong women down.
