XenaGlamRocker I too felt my daughter at 16/17 weeks, but by 20 weeks in this pregnancy (I'm now 24) weeks I hadn't felt anything. I was really worried, but then my ultrasound showed that indeed he moves a LOT, but my placenta is right at the front so it was cushioning a...

Kid's schooling in UK

roshnichaudhary @roshnichaudhary (1160) • United States 9 Apr 07

What is the cost of schooling of a kid in UK? I mean what is the minimum and maximum range.

mother

1 response

XenaGlamRocker Minimum is free - just send your child to a public state school, it doesn't cost anything (well you would have to buy the school uniform, and stationery, and give them money for their lunch or provide a packed, but that's all. The education itself is...

XenaGlamRocker My city (Leeds) has buses and trains but no trams yet (although they have been discussing a tram system here for several years now). Public transportation in the UK is not difficult to find. In London also they have the metro which is quick and handy.

Did you nurse your children and when did you stop?

smartmom @smartmom (826) • United States 10 Apr 07

I just stopped nursing my thirteen-month-old son one months ago, and I must admit that it feels good to have my own body back again. I wanted to reach to the 12-month-mark, as I read something about that for every 12 months you...

XenaGlamRocker I had to stop at 13 weeks. I contracted gastroenteritis and became violently ill for several days. I couldn't eat anything and kept vomiting, and was far too unwell to nurse. So during this time my daughter had to take formula, and then when I recovered, I...

Moms, when did you go into labor?

astromama @astromama (1221) • United States 10 Apr 07

Sorry for all the annoying 'new mom' discussions, but I'm due anytime and curious... when did you go into labor? Was it before or after your due date? How did you know it was 'time'?

XenaGlamRocker I didn't go into labour on my own. I got to 42 weeks and then I had to be induced. It took 3 days of being induced, with them putting 4 lots of the cervical gel in me, before I was dilated at all (which was what they were waiting for to break my waters). The...

How many children do you plan to have?

myworld_and_you @myworld_and_you (1223) • Philippines 4 Apr 07

This question is not only for those who have not been married yet but also for the married ones. If you are already married and with kids, is that the number of children you really plan to have? Soon, if I am married, I want to...

XenaGlamRocker I'm 23, I've been married for 2 years. We have an 18 month old daughter, and I am 24 weeks pregnant with our second child, a son. My husband would like to stop with 2, but I would personally like 4 in total (but to wait a few years before trying for more)....

When did your child start drinking fizzy drinks?

nageswari75 @nageswari75 (675) 10 Apr 07

At what age did you give your child fizzy drinks?My daughter loves coke a lot and she is only 3.Whenever we have pizza she knows there is going to be coke too.I don't give her much and whatever amount,I dilute with a lot of water...

XenaGlamRocker Diluting with water will help, but shaking out the fizz won't change much I don't think. To me, it's not the fizz that's the problem, it's the amount of sugar in the drink. Giving a child fizzy drinks, or even too much sugary non-carbonated fruit juice, is...

XenaGlamRocker I love chocolate milk - and other flavours such as vanilla, raspberry, toffee banoffee, banana (I'm not too fond of strawberry milk though.) I don't really like plain milk unless it's in something like cereal - on it's own to drink though is not very...

milk

mtoxales @mtoxales (374) • Canada 5 Apr 07

I have a question for all parents out there. Did you give your baby formula milk? If yes, until how many months did you give the formula milk? I have 3 kids and my son took formula milk until he was 4. When do you think is a...

7 responses

XenaGlamRocker I breastfed my daughter until she was 3 months old. Then she was on formula from 3 months until 1 year old. Then we switched her onto whole cows milk. I don't see the point in continuing with formula after the age of 1 because they can drink cows milk...

How often do you say I love you your child?

mmygrace @mmygrace (78) • Philippines 3 Apr 07

My greatest fear is losing my loved ones. When I had my first (and only) child, I already promised of loving him until my last breath. I offer all my hardwork to my son. I make sure I give him everything he NEEDs. Coupled with it,...

XenaGlamRocker I tell my daughter I love her ALL the time. Literally like every half an hour or so haha! I think I go a bit overboard with how much I tell her actually, but I don't do it just for the sake of it, I just look at her and feel so much love for her that I just...

dipasrisamanta @dipasrisamanta (121) • United States 4 Apr 07

Do you change the diaper every hour for your one year old? Or do you change the diaper only when it is dirty and not just wet? Is it okay to keep the diaper on for three or four hours? Should I wait till he poops to change? Can...

XenaGlamRocker My daughter tells me whenever she has pooed (although I can generally smell it anyway lol), so I always change her nappy then straight away. As for pee, I change her : 7am when she wakes up 10am before she goes down for her nap 12/1pm when she wakes up...

Does your baby/toddler sleep with you?

choco_luvr @choco_luvr (69) • United States 5 Apr 07

XenaGlamRocker I have always been too afraid of rolling over and suffocating my daughter to allow her to sleep with me. She is 18 months and still sleeps in the same room as my husband and I, but we don't allow her to sleep in bed with us because of that reason. My husband...

How often do you see your parents back home?

beyondcomparison @beyondcomparison (115) • Philippines 27 Mar 07

I know there are a lot of us here who are living away from our parents. That's why we only get to see our parents once in a while. Since I have entered college, I already lived from a province away from them. I rented in a...

XenaGlamRocker I have never lived more than half an hour away from my parents. However between the ages of 11 and 17 I only ever saw my dad once (my parents are divorced). I guess that's different though. My mother I live 10 minutes away from, and I see her nearly every...

How often do you clean your kid's bathroom?

dipasrisamanta @dipasrisamanta (121) • United States 5 Apr 07

I have only one three year old and he is not yet potty trained. I am thinking about starting that very soon. He has a bathroom of his own and we do not use it for ourselves much. He bathes in his tub and he has a lot of toys for...

XenaGlamRocker If I were you I would give his bathroom a quick clean at least once a week. There's no need to go crazy with the scrubbing - swish and swipe ought to do it - but yeh leaving it for a month is maybe a bit long. I have to say you're all very lucky in this...

XenaGlamRocker Many women opt to only have their husband with them when they deliver. It depends on how much support you think you are going to need during childbirth. Some men get really queasy at the thought of all the blood and end up being completely useless to the...

Has your child ever said this to you? Did you feel bad or did you just chalk it up as a "stage all kids go through"?
