Sure, mother nature knows best, but she won't return my calls

Hi! I'm going to apologize in advance for this being so long. About a month ago, my then 4.5 month old was just about to exceed the weight limit in her pack'n'play bassniet, which was kept in our room 2 feet from my side of the bed. At the time she was sleeping anywhere from 6-10 hours a night, it w...

My almost 13 month old is not often left in the care of others outside of myself or my husband. However, our local gym offers a wonderful childcare program while the parents workout which my older son (who is 3) has been going to for 2 years now. They start accepting kids as early as 6 months, so ar...

I was chatting with my local natural health store owner about my two previous early miscarriages. She asked some questions and said it sounded like I was progesterone deficient and has me trying wild yam cream. Has anyone tried this? How did you use it and for how long?...

My little one has always had a preference when breastfeeding, and it is making me VERY lopsided. It was suggested that I take her to a chiro. I have now a couple of times, and it seems to be working, but how long will I need to continue the treatment? It's very expensive, and we have a very low inco...

I am 4 weeks post partum and think I might have PPD. I am not sad, but have been feeling very guilty, detached, loss of interest in activities and eating... basically all the typical symptoms besides crying and feeling sad. Is this still PPD? I don't want to go on medication and have my PP appointme...

Our pediatrician recently told me that my (EBF) nine month old should be sleeping more. He sleeps about 10hrs a night (waking every two). He doesn't nap well and wakes up if I try to leave. He takes a 30min nap in late morning and maybe 1-2hrs late afternoon. I stay beside him in hopes that he will ...

I am supposed to get my period in 1 or 2 days and could have sworn for the past couple weeks I was pregnant. I took a first response test this afternoon and it was negative. I'm shocked- so many signs were there! Any one experienced this? Could it be a false negative or I just misread other sympt...
