Safety Gate: Safety 1St Perfect Fit or the First Years Everwhere Gate

I'm buying a gate to go into my daughter's bedroom door, as we're moving her into a bed in the next couple weeks and I want to "gate" her door. I want it to be pressure mounted. I'm trying to decide between the Safety 1st Perfect Fit or The First Years Everywhere Gate (found both on Target website). Both are plastic with a translucent panel so she can't climb the gate. My key question is how easy is the pressure mounted function? Is it fairly easy to put up and take down the gate each time I enter and exit her room? Does anyone...

Why Are You Still Breastfeeding?

**I'm not bashing either formula feeding or nursing just a discussion** Are you bottle or breastfeeding? I answer "breastfeeding" and I always get "Why!?" or "How are you still breastfeeding?" I only know a handful of mothers but all with the exception of my aunt (different generation) never nursed past 3 months. Same thing as women I meet or speak with in the baby aisles at the store. It really seems as if most women hate, can not, or will not breastfeed. But why? If you can breastfeed (no medical conditions) why then choose formula?...

Infant with Kidney Stones

I was just wondering if any of you moms have dealt with this or are dealing with an infant with kidney stones? My 6 1/2 month old son has kidney stones and we also just recently found out he was born with only one kidney. We dont know why he has the stones. He has gone to the childrens hospital in Pittsburgh for urine and blood tests and hopefully we will find out March 3rd what is causing the stones. It could either be something in his blood (which would be ok because they can be treated with meds) or a certain condition which would mean...

Infant Not Nursing Well

My son was born 4 weeks ago (at 37.5 weeks--so he was a little early, but fine). I am having a terrible time nursing despite advice from nurses and lactation consultants. any help would be appreciated. I'm feeding on demand--he started out on a 3 hour "schedule" with one 4-6 hour night period and a few 1-1/5 hour morning periods--since his growth spurt at 3 weeks he has been on a 2-3 hour "schedule" with the occasional 4-5 hour period at random times. The lactation consultant weighed him before and after a feeding (at about 2 weeks)...

Is First Years or Evenflo Breast Pumps Any Good?

When my son and daughter were born premature, the WIC offices where I lived provided a motorized Medella pump supplied from a medical supply store. Obviously this was very good. I know that Medellas are sold in Target but I also seen other brands. Is there an "off" brand ie, Evenflo, First Years, etc. that is comparable but without the price??

My Toddler Is Extremely Picky Eater!

My 2.5 year old son is a picky eater. My husband and I are SO frustrated! Our problem lately is that we are trying to be more consistent with having "family dinners" at the table, with the goal of getting him to try new things. We always encourage him in a positive way to just take one bite or just "try it". However, most of the nights we try this, he won't eat anything and then he whines and complains and gets up from the table, but then hangs around the table and begs for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Even though we hate to see him...

18 Month Old Will Not Let Me Sit and Eat.

Ok I have a wonderful 18 month old and she is great and a bit clingy. So at dinner time after I finally sit everyones food and anything else they may need I sit and try to eat. Then my one year old see's me and starts screaming because she wants to sit in my lap and eat. I tried not letting her a few times but then she just sits in the high chair screaming and refuses to eat. So to avoid this I either wait til she is in bed and heat my dinner up or I stand at the counter and eat. Sad I know. I was thinking about putting her into the...

13 Month Old Won't Eat Solid Food! HELP!!!!!

Hi, I am having a huge problem with getting my gorgeous 13 month old daughter to eat solid food. I have tried everything..you name it! She has no interest in it.

She does eat the stuff that is bad for her, though..French fries, cookies, However I don't really give that type of food to her because I don't want her developing bad eating habits. I don't know what to do!! How can I get her to eat. I am trying to wean her off her...
