  • I have a diaper rash/private part question?

    My son has a bad diaper rash with diarrhea. When I was changing his diaper today, I pulled his penis up to clean under and around it. I saw something white that would not wipe off. It was kind of mushy, but still a solid. And I had to pull it out of him. It was in there almost like a splinter, right under the rim. Now he has another white spot on him that is not open like the other so I cannot get the stuff out.

    I have called the doctor and he does have an appointment, but the nurse I talked to does not seem to know what it could be. And I am just trying to get some answers before we go see the doctor.

  • I feel like a horrible mom. Am I the only one?

    This is my sons first year at kindergarten and I have a new born. Well, the newborn keeps me up half the night sometimes. When he does that then I do not wake up in time for my 5 year old to make it to school on time. He has been about 10 minutes late about 10 times and has been about 30 minutes to 1 hour and half late about 3 times.

    Please someone tell me I am not the only one

  • Sorry, I know this is the wrong category for this, but all I got in the right one was spam?

    I heard a commercial that I didn't catch the number for

  • 3 week old with breastfeeding question?

    My little man is 3 weeks and 3 days old. We have been exclusive breastfeeding since the beginning. He has not had a single bottle of even expressed milk. He did alright for the first week. But these last couple of weeks it seems like he is having difficulty latching on. And he still cannot stay awake for a whole feeding. It is starting to make me think that I really should just switch to formula.

    I know he is getting plenty of food. His diapers are good and he had already gained a pound over birth weight at his 2 week visit. It is just really hard because he latches and then pulls off shortly after, but is still wanting to eat. Or he will fall asleep on the boob even despite my efforts to keep him awake, but as soon as I put him down he wakes back up. This is making for hour or more of off and on feeding before he will rest for one hour, then he is ready to start all over again.

    This would be ok if I didn't have to tend to the house and my two other kids. But I just can't spend that much time feeding.

    Oh and, he has always been able to do the sleeper hold, but the last few nights we haven't been able to do that either. We have to sit up to feed.

  • Any other moms use the swaddle blankets?

    My son is 3 weeks tomorrow and he has been co-sleeping since birth. Yes, I know you are not supposed to do that, but I am a breastfeeding mother with two other children and it was the only way for me to be able to get the sleep I need.

    Well, I am trying for the first time tonight to stretch out a little on the bed so I put my baby in a swaddle blanket. He went right off to sleep as soon as I put him in his crib...hoping he likes it all night. Of course, I will still need to wake up to feed. Just hoping he will go back into the crib.

    Just wanting to know of any stories you might have had with these

  • Breastfeeding encouragement?

    I am a breastfeeding mom and baby is 3 weeks old. Some days I wake up and am engorged all day. Other days it feels like I have no milk at all and Chris just screams unless I put him on the boob ALL day long. I want to continue to breastfeed, but I am finding myself getting really close to switching to formula. I just am looking for some kind words of encouragement.

    Thanks in advance.

  • Essure or tubal?????

    I know that I do not want anymore kids. my original thought was to get a tubal, but reading about it more made me scared because I have never had surgery. So then I saw this sight for essure and you do not have to be cut at all.

    I am just wondering from anyone who has had either essure or a tubal...what are good and bad things about them? And do you recommend what you got?

  • Question about babies eye color.?

    I am caucasian and blue eyed. My first born was born with black eyes that turned to brown. His father was caucasian as well, with some indian in him. Dad had brown eyes.

    My next child was born with brown eyes that look like they might be trying to change. Father of this child is also caucasian with blue eyes.

    I am just really confused because I have heard that most caucasian babies are born with blue eyes. I also know that two blue eyed people are supposed to only be able to make a blue eyed baby. So why was my second born with brown eyes?

  • Pelvic pain at 31 weeks?

    Ok, so I thought that pelvic pain was pretty typical. But then I started to search old answers on here and I am seeing that it could be alot more.

    Anyone please help. I hate to call the after hours line if it is not a big deal. I have a doctors apt on tuesday. Should I contact them before that or should I just let them know when I go in.

  • Almost 31 weeks pregnant and having pelvic pain?

    This is my third pregnancy. I feel huge and I can barely even bend at the waist. All today, I have been feeling like my bones are rubbing together in the pelvic area. It isn't the pressure feel that you get right before labor. It is more in my bones than my privates.

    I am just wondering if this is normal or if I should call my doctor. This is my third pregnancy and all, but there are some normal symptoms that I am getting this time that I didn't get with the others. Like for instance, this is the first pregnancy with morning sickness. lol And I thought that I was one of the lucky ones.

    Thank you in advance for any advice.

  • Is aspirin while pregnant okay?

    My doctor told me that the specialist I went to wants me to take one baby aspirin every night at bedtime. The only reason is to help thin my blood. My doctor office is not even questioning this, but I am because it sounds kind of weird.

    The only thing I can think of is I lost my last baby at 33 weeks and this specialist said something about a blood clot in the umbilical cord. Would the baby aspirin be used this pregnancy as a precaution against this?

  • I pee when I cough... TMI warning?

    I know this is a little too much info, but it is getting very annoying. I have been coughing alot lately because of the weather here and I have been wearing maxi pads. But still, every time I cough, I need to change the pad so it does not leak. Is there anything else I can do or use that will work better. Not saying that I want to sit around in my pee pants, but sometimes I cannot go right to the bathroom every time I pee.
