Need a New Bedtime Routine

My daughter recently turned 1. Since she was born I have always rocked her to bed with a bottle in her room, with no lights on and door shut. Until she was 11 months she was up at least 2 times a night (on a good night), so whatever worked to get her to bed was ok with me. She had always gone to bed fine, and sleeps well in her crib. One night when she was about 10 1/2 months I was putting her to bed and she wasn't acting tired (she's never had a set bedtime because she naps at all different times during the day). She got a little...

Do Ovulation Kits Work?

Has anyone ever tried the "First Response One-Step Ovulation Predictor Test" or something similar? There is also the "Clearblue Easy Fertility Monitor Test Sticks" but that looks like it is expensive. Thanks!

Being Harassed by CPS Because My 10 Year Old Has a Normal Hygiene Problem

As a parent of a ten year old boy, I've done my research over the last few years as my son has gotten closer to puberty; Both through the web and through family members in many job facets and their experiences that have consistantly told me his behavior is normal. Psychologists, teachers, parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles; They all tell me that for a boy of his age, not caring about his hygiene is normal. Given my own experiences with myself and my brother, I can truthfully say that it's not just boys, it's all children. ...

Helping Twins Nap Longer

I sent a request last week about napping schedules for twins, and there were so many moms who responded with such great advice! I have been having a lot of success with getting my twins down for a nap (within days they were going down willingly without a peep), but now I have another dilemma...They only stay down for 20 to 45 minutes! I've tried catching them when they're just waking up (like the No Cry Sleep Solution book suggests), but there is no in-between. One minute they seem to be in a deep sleep and the next, their eyes pop open. ...

Husband Who Travels for Work or Has Crazy Schedule?

I am wondering if there are any other stay at home moms out there who have husbands with CRAZY irregular work schedules, including traveling for work & your husband's work schedule changing, often at the last minute. My situation is further complicated by the fact that we do not have a lot of family/friends in the area who can help with child care. I have one son who is almost two. He's always been very very active. He hasn't stopped moving since he started crawling at 6 mos. old. Now that he's almost 2, he's still always on the go.....

3-Month Old Turning onto Stomach During Sleep

I have a very healthy, active 3-month old. She turns over onto her stomach and just learned to turn herself back over. She tries to crawl and gets upset when she doesn't get where she wants to go. Lately, I'll put her in her bed to sleep and I check on her a minute later and she has turned on her stomach. So, I watch her for a few minutes to make sure she is sleeping hard and I turn her back on her back. A little while later she is turned over again. Every time I wake up at night she is in a different position somewhere different in...

Help Calm Me

I am curious/wondering if maybe I'm not crazy. I'm slightly worried that I may be pregnant. After having unprotected sex with my husband, I realized that we were really close to ovulation time (one of the few times we've done it since I went off the pill...due to the fact I didn't want to go back to the clinic, I know, my own mistake). In the past couple days, I've started getting sick (nauseated, upset tummy, couldn't drag my butt out of bed yesterday), getting real senative to smells (nearly threw up last night when my son was eating his...

6 Year Old with Night Terrors

Every single night for the past 9 days now, my 6 year old son has been woken up with night terrors. He screams and cries and when my husband and I ask him whats wrongs, he tells us there is a man. We've tried to ask him about "the man" and he describes him wearing a green shirt with blue on it. We are also wondering if this "man" is telling him to do something, because when we first try to comfort him, his first response is, "No, I don't want to do it." This is so terrifiying for us, we have no idea what to do. Has anyone experienced this?...
