I guess now I don't feel so bad - DD is 17mos and nada here, huge strain on our marriage and initially I chalked it up to BF, but honestly it wasn't all there pre-baby so I can't say I'm all that surprised.  I'm tackling ISR...

I'd say teethng, but if you rule that out my DD 17mos had a reaction like that the first time she had oatmeal (6 or 7mos)- but around her lips.  I didn't give her any for a while after but the 2nd time she ate it (10mos), it...

I, like Kathy, will generally share that I don't do flu or CP.  When/if asked about others, I've never lied.  Now in my case DD had some nasty reactions to 2 rounds of DTaP she got before I stopped so I make a point to tell...

My baby wearing, co-sleeping ideas were met with opposition mostly from my MIL, although my mother had one or two snarky comments that I quickly told her were not her business and if she wanted to spend time with DD she would help...

Sorry to hear :-( My father is epileptic, has been his whole life, was on dilatin and phenobarb for almost 40 yrs before going to a naturopath who weaned him off both.  Now I know epilepsy can wane with age esp after being on...

I was a horibly, awkwardly, shy and anxious kid.  I conquered some of it when I got to college and realized I couldn't live my life like that and I forced myself to go outside my comfort zone.  Now with DD I find that if I...

DD is 17mos, has showered with DH and I since birth, and I'd say DH is a bit more "shy" about it, especially recently (she looks and he'll cover himself and say 'that's daddy's privates, no looking") but I'm much more open about...

I was hoping to hear better news, sorry he's beinng a jerk about it, but glad to hear you got a lawyer that will work with you and that you've got more time.  Is she really getting the vax while pregnant??  I can't even...
