*SuMmEr*

My 8wk old has a horrible cough, he's been tested for RSV and the flu, both negative.. I've done the humidifier, saline for the drainage and Vicks baby rub on his feet and nothing is helping.. Does anyone have any other ideas?

I asked a similar question a few days ago but not about natural remedies....I'm only 2wks postpartum and my doc wants to wait a little longer before putting me on meds as she says it normall doesn't last more than a month... I can't take it though, at 5pm every night I'm crying and feel hopeless until bed... I do fine all day though.. I have a 2.5yr old and a newborn and I'm a single mom so any idea or suggestions are appreciated!

I went to the ER this morning and had a CT scan and they found a small internal abscess right above my c section incision (I had a c section 2wks ago)... Anyhow they gave me iv meds and put me on 2 antibiotics, has anyone had this heal it or did they still have to cut and drain it? I see my doc. Tomorrow but just wondering if anyone has experienced this?

I've already talked to the nurse and I'm waiting on my mom to get here to watch my kids.. Has anyone experienced this? There's no pus it's just a hard mass that's hot and has red lines going over it..

I feel like all I do is cry, between a wild 2.5 yr old and newborn that is having all kinds of issues with bottles making him gassy I just feel so depressed, I know it's post partum because I cry about everything.. I found out today that my neighbor has bedbugs and they won't spray a preventative spray in my apt because I have a newborn, I cried.. It's just getting to where I don't know what to do or how to cope, any suggestions?

My newborn has now puked twice today, I tried gripe water but he just puked it up.. Anyone have any other suggestions? And yes I've changed his bottles and they are working great.. I've rubbed his belly and patted his back and I just don't know how to help the little guy!

My 8 day old just can't handle the avent slow flow 1 and I know that's as low as they go. My daughter did fine with them but my son chokes a lot from the flow.. Even a bottle recommendation with a slower flow would help...

She's been staying with my mom since Tues. as I had a c section... I'm a single parent so having extra help at home isn't there. Luckily the baby is so good and he just eats and sleeps but I'm not sure how to help my daughter adjust to sharing me and things changing, she's very much a routine child.. Any helpful suggestions for myself and her? Thanks!

This is my second child and I did not have this pain with my first. My stomach is not contracting but I'm having sharp sharp pains in my upper stomach that feel like diarrhea cramps but no diarrhea, it's making me feel like I need to throw up and going into my back... I'm waiting for the nurse to call back but was hoping someone might have some insight?

This is my second child, with my first I had very little issues with my sciatic nerve..I woke up this morning and could barely put weight on my right leg because the pain was so horrible. I switch sides while sleeping and have a pregnancy pillow, i've tried luke warm baths and occasionally small amounts of tylenol..Does anyone know of anything else that might help?

I have a 2yr old and just found out i'm 5wks pregnant...Yes i'm with the guy but he already has 3 kids from a previous marriage. I'm financially stable with one child, but not sure about 2. I am pro choice but I really want this baby, I just can't imagine abortion when I knew the consequences of unprotected sex...It only happened one time and I didn't think it would result in pregnancy, my stupidity, yes. he is pro choice as well and doesn't really want another child but would support my choice but I don't want him to feel like i'm forcing him into something.

I have a 97 dodge stratus that will just turn off when I reverse and at stop lights UNLESS I put it in neutral at a stop light, then it won't. My car has been at the mechanic for 5 days, checked the electrical parts, they have changed the spark plugs, checked the transmission, changed my fuel and steering wheel pump and ran a test on the car and can't find out why it's doing this...The mechanic is a good friend of my dads, so he's not using me for money either..Does anyone have any idea what it could be?

I am seeing ton of questions regarding this...

similac.com has all the information you need (including a 1-800 number you can call) good luck getting through..It's the powder similac not the liquid so if you don't want to change your formula you can buy the premade liquid bottles (they are at wal-mart, target and your local grocery store)..It's insects pieces in the formula, your kid will be just fine, there's insects pieces in everything you eat that is canned.

Most WIC agencies are not approving for you to exchange vouchers which means you have to buy your own formula until this is all sorted out AND most places that you bought it at can NOT exchange it until they get a letter from the company giving it an official recall even though they announced it online..I'm not being rude, just covering basics for anymore questions. Good Luck ladies! Oh and Good Start Protect Plus is an excellent formula if you are wanting to change.

A new law was passed that all abortion clinics must do an ultrasound before the procedure, the clinic must also explain the effects the abortion has on the fetus and the growth of the fetus at the time of the abortion.

I think i've covered it...So now that i've given proof and sources CAN we move on?

Oh wait..I'm sure the Republicans will have some ignorant comment to make about his accomplishments..Please, WHAT DID BUSH DO in his 8 years that was as productive as Obama's first year?

LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL

Why don't you all stop crying, suck it up and put your big girl panties on! We don't always get what we want. I didn't vote for Bush or agree with the War in Iraq but instead of being a piss ant I sucked it up and supported my country. By not supporting your President you show lack of unity and class. Canada isn't that far, you can always move or get off Y!A and try and do something ABOUT YOUR ISSUES! Or READ THE BILL..Every question or statement i've seen is completely off the wall and it's apparent that you are all complaining without reading or know anything about the bill.

Her whole cord didn't fall off so her doc. used this thing to dry it up and told me to continue with alcohol 2xs a day, this was on Tues. I just changed her and earlier it looked fine, now it looks like it's bruied around her belly button, it's just weird and making me nervous, does anyone know if this is normal???

I know I might be overreacting but i'm really concerned..We got to the pediatrician on the 18th...Anyhow she's 8 days old and has a weird breathing pattern..It will be VERY rapid, like 60 breaths per min. then slow down to normal, then go back up..Online it says this is a sign of TTN and needs to be treated but i'm wondering if i'm just overreacting and if it's normal for newborns to have a odd breathing pattern?? Please help and thanks in advance!

I'll be 40wks tomorrow and went to my check up today..She checked my cervix, i'm dilated to a 2 and scheduled for me to be induced on Thurs. Here's my worry...I've had spotting after having my cervix checked but this time it was red blood like when you're on your period and it wasn't really spotting, it was like a heavy flow, it filled up a pany liner...Is this just from my check up? Should I call my doc?

My best friend and I are both about the same amount along in our pregnancies. I get checked every week. She got checked at 36wks and wasn't dilated at all and is now 38wks, i'm 38wks2days. Anyhow the doc. hasn't checked her since week 36, she has seen her but not checked her..Is this odd or normal?
