Can my nine month old baby have what the rest of the family is having?

selina0625 @selina0625 (1379) • Philippines 22 Apr 07

My baby is already eating solid foods at this age but is only limited to cereals, potatoes, carrots, eggs and rice. I'm just curious if you also give your child this age what the rest of the family is eating, like if there's an...

gnamarie It depends. I choose not to give her candies or other sweets yet. Its best to give her nutritious foods which are high in protein and iron. Just ensure that the food you are giving can be chewed and digested easily by your baby. Remember to give lots of fluids...

Reading book is better than watching movies in many ways?

swetarawat13 @swetarawat13 (16) • India 20 Mar 07

The joy of lying down and reading a favourite book is certainly more than watching a movie. Books have a charm that movies lack in. Books make you imagine the scene and the characters. In still prefer reading the lord of the rings...

gnamarie I agree with you. In reading, it challenges your imagination. The plot is not limited to the ones presented in the movies. Aside from that, movies does not totally capture all the facts indicated in the book. And it sometimes misses some important...

What would be your choice?

ctv101103 @ctv101103 (859) • Philippines 12 Mar 07

gnamarie This is indeed a very difficult scenario. But given a choice, I would let my child live. For one, I want the baby to have a chance for life. This is one sacrifice a mother can do for her own child. You can call this unconditional love.

True or False: Women are moodier than men.

ctv101103 @ctv101103 (859) • Philippines 15 Mar 07

Women are moodier than men. Is this true? In my opinion, this is false. Men have hormones, too. Besides, I think my husband is moodier than me. LOL!

gnamarie It depends. Men and women have different make up. You have to consider if the woman is pregnant as well. She could be more moodier than men. Most people think women are moodier because they are more vocal about their feelings and emotions. Men tend to be more...

MJJ1011 @MJJ1011 (107) • United States 14 Mar 07

My daughter is 5 months old and my doctor is recommending that I start her on rice cereal to possibly help alleviate her acid reflux. I'm very hesitant to start her this early, especially since she was born almost 2 months...

gnamarie I'd prefer marrying someone 2 years older than me. Some say guys act 2 years younger than their age. Though I believe maturity does not come with age. It really depends on the individual. I ended up marrying someone 3 months older than me:)

What do you do if you have trouble sleeping?

ethanmama @ethanmama (1745) • Philippines 8 Mar 07

Even if we do not have trouble sleeping, there may be some times when, for no reason at all, we find it hard to fall asleep. What would you do if this happens to you? For me, I would just read a book. If I don't fall asleep, I'd...

gnamarie I used to encounter this problem during my younger years. What I usually do is drink milk in order to calm my nerves and read a book. Eventually, I may fall asleep.

Stay at home, or have a job?

ethanmama @ethanmama (1745) • Philippines 13 Feb 07
