S.D.

I have indian medium brown skin. Very recently I have started using blusher as part of my makeup. I have tried the following blushers: Bourjois Lilas d'or, MaxFactor Chestnut, Rimmel blush and highlighter SummerFever and then there are some blushers from a local shop here that I have tried. However, no matter which blusher I use on my cheeks they all end up looking golden brown. It looks really nice and my face gets a glow when I use a blush, but maybe I am doing something wrong.. why do they all look the same?

So, I liked this eyeshadow shimmering Sienna by Revlon and bought it. I tried it on just now and all it does is make my eys look as if they are surrounded by giant dark circles :-(. I did not use it under the eyes just over the eyelids. Any ideas how I can use thos e/s without looking like a ghost.

Hi, I have dark skin (Maybelline FitMe Foundation number 315) and I have really dark eyelids. If I apply any light eyeshadow it looks grey on my lids. Yes, I have tried it with a primer/foundation/concealer underneath. My question is how to create a soft nude eye look. What shades of eyeshadow can I use that give me just the little bit of sparkle to my eyes.

So, I have 3 mascaras, Rimmel Scandal Eyes Show Off, Collistar Infinito and Loreal Volume Million Lashes. While Rimmel is my favorite every day mascara, its quick to apply but it tends to flake and smudge under my eyes within a couple of hours. The other two are more liquid so they do not smudge but tend to clump my lashes together and I have to use a lash comb while using them. Anyone out there experienced this and any solutions for this issue?

Was hit by a car while I was riding my bike. The break was quite bad in the mid of the bone and they had to operate and put a pin inside and secure it with 4 screws. 6 weeks later I had an x-ray and it appeared that the bone was still broken. Not joined at all!!! the alignment was fine though. I am not sure why this happened. I am doing physio, and the therapist says that I was just unlucky the bone did not join. Does anyone have the same experience?

Well, I was going through the internet about bad effects of wearing high heels and found this term "barbie arches". Many women get this barbie arches when they wear high heels throughout their lives. What does that mean really?

So, up until 2 weeks ago, he used to drink around 3-4 bottles (120 ml) a day of formula and apart from that, he had his solid food (Rice, cereals, bread, fruits etc.). He also got water or juice with his meals. But now, he only likes to eat his solid food, and throws away the bottle or cup even without putting it in his mouth. He drinks one bottle during the night though. I am real worried, and dont know whether this is a permanent change or will he go back to normal. Anyone else faced this problem at this age of their baby

in his own bed. He used to sleep in his own bed almost till a month ago, and now he got used to sleeping with me in my bed. He was ill for sometime and also we had moved so did not have a bed for him, so I let him sleep with me. But now, its his habit. He starts in his own bed, and then around midnight wakes up and starts crying so that I have to bring him to my bed. Then he calms down and goes back to sleep. I dont know what to do. Any suggestions.. similar experiences?

We have just moved to The Netherlands from India. It has been less than a week. After coming here I have started to drop my 1 year old at a day care center. But he does not like it at all there. He cries the whole day. I have checked the center myself and there is nothing wrong with it or the teachers working there. While in India, he was not going to a day care center but a babysitter was taking care of him at my home. He used to like that a lot. He never has had any problems separating from me untill now. I cannot understand how to manage this situation. It just breaks my heart everytime the teachers at the daycare tell me that he has been crying the whole day. I don't know what to do :(.

Hi, my son is now 6 months old and still does not roll over. He keeps trying... I see that but there are no results. I also know other babies who used to sit without support when they were 6 months old, but this guy only sits if someone is supporting his back. Is this something to worry about or is it normal? Anyone else experience this?

I gained 10 KGs during my pregnancy and then after delivery I lost 4Kgs immediately. However, it has been now 4.5 months and still no sign of losing those remaining 6 Kilos. I did lose around 3 Kg last month and was quite happy about it but guess what! I gained it back this month. This has made me very nervous. Is this weight here to stay? Also I am not breastfeeding. Any pieces of advise there to help me shed some weight?

my baby is 4.5 months old. And for the past 1 month or more I have been losing hair like crazy. My hair is every where in the apartment. Is there some remedy to stop this or at least slow this down?

Hi, I live in mumbai. Where can I buy a cot bumper that will fit on all sides of my baby's cot?

I read on the avent website that drinks other than water or milk, e.g fruit juices or sugary drinks shouldnot be used. I wonder why? I was hoping to start fruit juices for my baby this week. any advice?

Ok, so the baby's doctor told me that I should start giving him solids starting next week when my baby turns 4 months. But I am having serious doubts about this. Is it ok to start solids so early? I was under the impression that solids should be started after 6 months only. Can anyone please advise? Thanks

Hi can someone tell me which one is better.. Avent ISIS IQ UNO electric breast pump or Medela mini electric breast pump or Medela Swing electric breast pump? I have a manual pump but thats not good enough the suction is very poor.

Hi, I am breastfeeding plus formula feeding my 3 month old. While breastfeeding I have noticed that he does not like to feed from my left breast. Somehow he is very very irritated on that side and as soon as I move him to the other breast he calms down and keeps sucking. Has anyone else experienced this? I need some advise on how to make him suck the other breast too.

Hi, I am breastfeeding my 3 month old baby. People say that the baby should be allowed to suckle on the breast till they let it go themselves. They will do this when they are satisfied. I tried this with my baby and he kept suckling for 2 hours at a stretch when I had to pull him away. He was still crying (not satisfied). Since then I allow him for 10 minutes on each side and then just pull him away. Has anyone else experienced this? On an average how long does a baby take to fill his tummy?

I was not breastfeeding my baby for sometime because it used to hurt a lot. I was pumping the milk and giving it to him in a bottle. However, I decided to again give it a go. Now, my nipples don't hurt but the areola where he suckles hurts like anything. It keeps hurting at least for an hour after he has finished feeding. And because of this hurting I am able to feed him only for 10 minutes on each breast at a time. Anyone else faced this and how long does this pain last?

I am not able to breast feed my baby so I am using a breast pump to express milk and then feed the baby. But for the past few days I have noticed that I am not getting enough milk while pumping. I pump milk 3 times a day. Can someone give me some advise on how to get more milk?
