I stopped breastfeeding 4 1/2 months ago but when I squeeze I still get some fluid. Is this normal?
I would say that it’s completly normal. I could always get a little milk (like a few drops) after b/feeding my first. It never went away totally and now I’m b/feeding my second. I spoke to my Dr a year after my first and she said it was normal.
My hubby grew up more into a very strict home and religous.I grew up more free spritied and raised by hippies.He wants to take our daughter to church every sunday.My daugher won’t go If I don’t go.I don’t know how to TELL her I hate church.How do I tell a 4 yr old.why I don’t want to go?
Oh..My husband is on my case about being more religous I told him the world better be ending before that will ever happen.
I feel like I’m being selfish for not going to church with them.My daugher got baptized because my husband said she had to be.I don’t care about that much..I just don’t want someone forcing me to attend church on a sunday.
Whenever I GO TO CHURCH..I sleep and take my pillow..so..I never even pay attention.So..should I go for the sake of my child and put my pride to the side or tell them to go without me?
you are free to your own opinion, and obviously i am taking it that your hubby knew about this before marriage?? HE needs to respect your decision-but YOU need to compromise on your daughter. is it actually hurting her to go to church and see what it means? no. will she have a basis to form her own opinion when she gets a little older? yes. your hubby was raised that way and decided to follow that path. she might very well do the same or choose a different spiritual outlet. i would make her go-whether she wanted to or not. letting her make her own decision in something like this shows her that mom & dad are not together. that will cause other problems later, as far as doing what she is told to do when you DON’T give her a choice. she is too young to choose this decision. i would stay home if you feel that strongly and tell her she will go period. you don’t have to explain anything she is too young to deal with the ins & outs of religion now anyway. shell forget in an hour. i definitely wouldn’t continue to take a pillow and sleep. it shows disrespect to your husbands choice, and quite frankly, he should be embarassed. this will also show her that even though you 2 don’t agree-you will work through it in the best way that benifits her-

These are issues that you and your husband should have discussed BEFORE getting married..If your husband wants to go to church every sunday, let him take your daughter by himself. It isn’t something that you should be forced or feel obligated to do. In fact, that’s why I quit going to church…I got sick of spending an hour every weekend with a bunch of people that didn’t really want to be there (me included).
Ive got a 7 month old that always tuggs on his hair while he’s nursing, but only on the right side, its weird but it kinda soothes him to sleep. Im not worried about it or anything Its just weird and I was wondering if other babies do this too?
my 8 month old does this do. When i am feeding her in her high chair she pulls on her hair. Or sometimes when i am holding her and rocking her to sleep she does it also. I asked my mom ( i ask my mom everything) and she said its not hurting her if she keeps doing it and she also said it seems like nothing to worry about. So i would guess its alright.

Yes, my daughter always rubs, tugs, scratches her head
Survival rate for premature babies are a lot higher, now a days due to medical advancements.
Maybe assist them, but not totally finance everything. There are too many negative side effects of doing that. **
There were a lot of children in my family, so we had to finance everything ourselves. I was working full time at age 15 just to buy clothing and shampoo. It was tough, but I don’t regret it, it gave me character. **
I think that things are definately different for children now… 100 years ago, 11 year old boys were running a farm — or at least doing a good share of the work. Now, I am happy if I can get my 11 year old son to pick up his socks and lower the toilet seat. Our expectaions for children have changed, lowered. As a result, they are living up to what we expect. **
I think one of the most important things we need to teach children is personal responsibilty. Children need to grow into adults that accept responsibilty for their actions. If they are always saying, “I am this way because of my circumstance” or “I am not this way because I wasn’t ever given a fair shot” they will never succeed. They need to learn that they are in charge of their own destiny. THey decide how their life will turn out. Events and circumstances may steer them one way or the other, but ultimately, they decide what and who they are going to become. If they can grasp this, then they can go on to provide for their families, emotionally and financially. They need to learn that success comes from how we treat others, not how much money we make. **
