I use time outs and loss of priveleges with my (almost) 6 yo. This is only after repeated attempts at warning and redirection. I think time outs really help him to calm down when he's too worked up. He will usually call me to him and...

I would forgive her for the spank since it was in the heat of the moment and she apologized. However, I think there's a deeper issue here. She seems to be holding some sort of grudge against your daughter. I would definitely talk to...

You're describing my son's behavior at that age to the t. It was so damn hard in the beginning. The others have given some good advice. What worked for us was just giving him bottles of pumped milk until he finally started latching on...

Their website says you have to visit the campus in Kentucky a few times during the program. That's just not feasible for me. I was poking around the CSU Fullerton website and found that they actually have a masters in women's health...

I'm on a journey to become a CNM. I have my ADN and I'm considering applying for my bachelor's through CSU Fullerton. I would like to learn more about ADN-MSN bridge programs as well. I need to continue...

I would have it after lunch. That way you can just serve drinks and light snacks like veggies & dip, pretzels etc. I'd say 2-3 hours is plenty. One thing you didn't mention is a pinata. You can get them pretty cheap...

6 months is not old enough for goat or cow milk. If you can't pump another bottle or sneak in an extra feeding somewhere, then send a bottle of formula and/or start him on solids. He will still need to make up for the feeding if...

You know, I think this is one of those things you just can't do much about    Some babies just don't like being in cars. My son screamed like he was dying from the moment he was strapped in until I BF him upon arriving...

I agree with alaskanmomma. I would choose a hospital with a VBAC supporting provider for this particular situation.
