Ovulation time.

I was on Clomiphene from my day 5 to day 9. So, my question is should i start having sex from day 9 night or day 10 night, as i do not want to take a chance and miss my ovulation time. we are planning to have sex alternate days from day 10 until day 18.
Do you think that this will work ?

Thanks.

Toilet Training

I am currently toilet training my 2 year and 10 month old son. It seems to be going well so far. He does all of his wee's in the toilet without ever having an accident but he has never once been able to do a poo in there. This is my final stage in toilet training him and would love any advise on how to get him to do it in the toilet and not in his undies.

Restless legs

Hi all
I was wondering if anyone had any remedies for restless legs? It keeps me awake and drives my hubby and I INSANE! My doc says the only thing he knows of is valium, and I'm NOT prepared to go to such drastic measures.
ANY advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Low Breastmilk supply!

Hiya! My bub is nearly 4 months, and im concerned about my supply! last nght i went to see a movie, fed bella before i left, came home and expressed about 4 hours later. I only got 40 mls total! yes seriously! Ive been drinking fenugreek tea, but thinking i might spend the bazzilion dollars and get the tablets instead, but i need some more ideas please?? Im not opposed to formula AT ALL! but i really dont want to give up, i love feeding my baby, she is the first of three that i have enjoyed with, my other two were on formula at 2 weeks and 8 weeks.

Bubs seems happy enough, still has wet nappies, and feds about 3 hourly. im hoping my pump is just crap rather than thats all shes getting?

Personal bedroom question

Can a yeast infection be passed on to your partner during intercourse? I received a call from ob/gyn saying I tested positive for a yeast infection. I went to the md about a week ago, and didn't have significant signs of it, and my husband and I have had sex since. Could he get it?

Thanks in advance

Are my in-laws out of line or am I overprotective??

Four months ago I gave birth to a baby girl who was born 7 weeks early. She stayed in Intensive Care for 3 weeks because her lungs were undeveloped as most premmature babies lungs are. The hospital was very firm in the "no smoking" rule when we left the hospital, including smoke on clothes, hands, etc. I posted a sign on our door for visitors stating to wash hands, no small children & if you had smoked to please not handle the baby. This was my way of not making anyone feel they were being singled out. Mainly my mother-in-law.
As time went on I started to notice that she would smell like smoke when coming to visit and to mask the smoke smell she was covering herself in perfume. I started to notice my daughter would cough after her visits. Still trying to not hurt anyones feelings I called her after my daughter's two month checkup & said the doctor noticed "I" was wearing perfume & advised it probably was not smart to wear scented products around the premature baby. After that she continued to wear the perfume?? Point not taken I guess.
The latest problem is they do not want to drive the 40 miles from their house to ours to visit. So to keep peace I have loaded my daughter & half of our home up for the last few visits. I just think it is irrational to ask a couple with a newborn to drive 40 miles so they can spend time with their grandchild. If it's a burden for them to travel how do they think it is for a baby? She comes home cranky, tired, out of her routine & overstimulated from all the holding.
I have yet to let them babysit her mainly due to the smoking, I'm sure they would be many frequent smoke breaks while my daughter was there, as there are when we visit.
Recently we made one of our visits an overnight visit and the next day my daughter started showing signs of a cold. I told my husband that I spoke with her doctor and he advised to just watch her & also was very strong about no smoking. I told him he needed to call his mother and let her know we did not want her taking cigarette breaks anymore when the baby was around. Her response was she didn't believe her smoking was making the baby sick.
I too am a former smoker & believe in a smokers rights, but I also believe in the health of my child. When I WAS a smoker I didn't smoke around people who did not smoke out of respect & would have never considered smoking in the presence of a baby. I believe every parent has the right to raise their children as they see fit. Even though she chose to raise my husband in a smoking household 30 years ago, doesn't mean I think it's ok for our daughter now. New research shows that babies in smoking environments are at greater risk for SIDS, asthma, colds, ear infections, etc. I don't consider myself "overprotective" but I am protective. Am I being irrational or are my inlaws? Any opinions?

17 mth going from soy formula to soy milk

my 17 month boy is on soy formula and eats like a 10 monther and is only just back on the charts for his weight.

I know your meant to start cows milk at 12 months but not sure when to start him on soy. Does soy milk have the right nutrients he needs. He still has baby cereal with weetbix and yougurt to add iron and nutrients in.

He has a 250ml for breaky and 120ml for lunch and tea. I am thinking of taking out the tea bottle and replace it with soy milk in a sippy cup.

He has a low immune system due to child care and gets sick more that the other kids at childcare his age. He's intollerent to dairy, eggs and kiwifruit. allergic to nappy creams and suntain lotion and soaps. He wont eat food with herbs and spices, even mild form at childcare. at 17 months he is 9.5 kilos which is just on the charts but he just started walking and lost a few hundred pounds since..
