When Spring comes I can`t wait to get out and go hiking every Sat with hubby. Anyone know of any good baby carriers for a baby who will be between 8-10 months old? I know I have seen them before.

Once you started your baby on solids for several months, were you strict about what you allowed your baby to eat. I was shocked to hear my 18 month old niece ask for cookies for breakfast and my brother-in-law`s response, ` cookies after breakfast!`
(Baby-poll poll by EvaV, 1173 days ago)

Cookies are fine at that age, for breakfast or at any time of day. If you are restrictive like that your child is going to have food issues!	2		4%
My child eats a very strict diet; ex. vegan, organic, sugar-free	3		6%
Cookies and sweets at that age are fine in moderation.	20		45%
I make sure my baby's diet is very nutrient dense since they eat so little at that age, but allow for a taste of sweets every now and then	19		43%

We are doing better than ever!	3		5%

Just slightly worried...had my 28 week check up and doctor confirmed that baby is in the breach position (which I suspected judging by the shape of my belly and where I felt the most movement). She said the baby still had time to change position. Should I be worried?

My husband and I have had difficulty picking out a name for our baby girl. He really loves the names Anna (definitely not my first choice). We are pretty much settled on the name Anna Elisabeth, but just wanted some opinions.
