I was just wondering how people go about with the sleeping arrangements when they have a newborn and a child that is under or around 2 - 2 1/2.. Did you have 2 cots? etc
Also.. any experiences on graduating their kids to toddler beds.. what age and how did it go etc??
The doctor told my GF,whom is 8 mnths pregnant, that our soon to be son is to be born with a big head.
Should I be worried???....Because, I am. She also has Toxemia Pregnancy (which is much has become better now that she is off her feet) and Little Brantley is to be born with Club Foot.
Will his head be larger than others in school...will he be unable to perform normal tasks???...the doctor, as far as i know..said it is normal.
how long does the tummy bug stay in the system or is contagious after they have vomited.i don't want to contaminate anyone else if i send the kids to school tomorrow,by then it will be 48 hours after speaking to ralph!!!

Trust me i am NOT happy. What i wanna know if anyone has had there child so young get the pocks, the child cope. how did u cope? how long before i know she has them?
Ok well Damian has been sick for nearly 3 weeks on and off and refused to eat any solids the whole time but now he is better, he still refusing to eat anything that isn't Pureed or mashed.
Before he got sick he was teething and loved chewy foods, I am just wondering if there is a way to try and get him chewing again??
Also this is a concern I have is that he hasnt put on any weight in 4 1/2 months since he turned 1 is this normal??
I am taking him to the dr's next week to get advice but just thought I would ask on here to see if my worries are normal or not
My daughter is about to be 5 years. She is having deformity, the paw was turned inside 90 degrees, in hir right leg bottom joint. It was operated when she was 01 month old. Now the leg is showing correction but she dosen't have her reguar bowels, when consulted to physician we got advice that this is because of her habit of keeping cleanliness. We are giving her a medicine which helps to keep the stool soft. With the medicine she can have her bowel everyday; but if we discontinue the dose she suffers from irregular bowels say after interval of 2-3 days which requires very hard pressure as she doesn't sit down folding her knee she practises it in standing position till now.
It this normal in childrens, or sign of any disease....
Mackezies just gone 2 many times ive questioned his feet looking strange, when standing he bears weight to the inside this is more noticable on the left, by chance i caught a glimse of the bottems of his feet and it is freeky he has no arch... i examined and its lightly swollen out but not enflamed like a recent injury...ive watched him walking and he puts alot of pressure on his big toes his ankcle appears to be to far in, if that makes sence, he isnt complaining hes having fun as always but im sure its not normal,
i had thought he cld have injured him self a few weeks ago climbing...but he was soon up and about hystericle mummy was told he's fine...
now im wondering is this a conditon i need to get looked at or cld it be broken?
my baby girl who is 1 in 10 days her fontanell has not reduced in size what so ever sinse her birth.i do know that they take up to 2 yrs to close but my other 4 babies fontanelles fused completely by 11 months.Am i prematurely being paranoid?!!
I have been recently told by my doctor that they suspect i may have a blighted ovum. This terifys me as I can't get it out of my head and think positively especially when none of my more "in tune" friends have made any comment other than positve ones on my pregnancy. Even when I told them I had fears and ask quite plainly!
Is there anyone out there who has had the possibility of a blighted ovum that has turned out ok? Just needed to wait an extra week or so for confirmation and it's all been fine?
Does anyone else experienced this! My youngest 3yo was upset and crying this morning and she had bitten her self that hard she left a mark. Kat came up to me and says look mummy i got a bite, i ask who did that and she said me i asked why and said becuase i was upset mummy!
Hmm have to wonder if this is normal, what do you think??
my daughter is four months about to turn five in five days she doesnt want to sleep through the night i tried waking her up early in the morning to get her tired but she still wakes up three in the morning and it's driving me off the walls! what should i do?

ok might sound really silly as his only 7weeks old but i think ashton is teething!! He is really irritable, screaming for no reason with his fists in his mouth and drooling everywhere. His cheeks look flushed, his had a little bt of a temp, its normally 36.5 tonight it was 37 but im not sure if it was just from crying but i gave him some panadol anyway. He isnt sleeping properly either. Ive feelt his gums and the top on the left and the botttom looks really white and it feels rough and pointy there.
So is it possible at 7weeks???
I see a paediatrition on Monday so ill be asking then but just wantd to know if this sort of thing is possible so young.
What is a normal daddy / baby relationship? My fiance is amazing with the baby! He plays with him and entertains him, but when it comes down to changing dirty diapers, waking up for late night feedings or any kind of responsibilities other than playing around, he's hardly ever there. I'm getting very tired doing all of this on my own. He thinks because he spends 50 to 60 hours a week at his job, putting food on the table, that it is okay if i handle the baby all of the time. I just dont want my son to have daddy wasn't there issues. What can i do to bring them closer?
My baby was sleeping through the night when he was seven months old. Now that he's cutting teeth and we've moved to a new house, he has stopped sleeping through the night (which is understandable) I've tried letting him cry it out, but it was very hard on all of us that live in the house, plus he just wont stop until someone goes in to check on him. It didn't feel right to let him cry it out, so i stopped after about a a week and a half of trying it. What else can i do?
well i last asked the questions of what to cook up for my 9 month old and i got a GREAT reply, so thank you all. Now i was wondering about canned fruit. I couldnt stand looking at the fresh fruit prices at the shops today so i had a looked at the canned. I went for the top quailty and tried peaches in juice for my nine month old. SHe loved it but im worried about it being canned and not fresh. I havnt seen any of the mags saying not to, either have i seen them saying "give it a go"
SO just asking minti users what they think of canned fruit and if they give it to there children. Keep in mind she always has fresh atleast once a day.
My oldest is 13.5 years old and she has applied for a job working weekends and after school. I am just wondering what other minti goers think about whether or not this is to young.
