My 5 year old daughter has a strange rash on her chest, belly, and back. It started a little over a week ago with a few pinkish/tan oval shaped spots, no wider than 1/4 inch, slightly raised. Over the course of a week they increased in...

With my second child, I got pregnant when I ovulated around day 23, and with this baby (I'm 34 weeks now), I got pregnant when I ovulated around day 20. Both times, it was my second cycle after getting my period back. Some women just...

Thanks, ladies. It helps to know others have experienced the same frustration. 2 days ago, after 5 "accidents" I finally just put her in diapers. She was devastated. I told her that if she kept her diaper dry all day she...

DD is 5 and still rides in her convertible 5 point harness car seat that will last until she weighs 50 lbs. However, it will expire soon, and we plan to get her a new seat. Based on my research I was thinking about getting her a 5...
