lesleynejsmom You are supposed to start whole vitamin d milk at 12 months old (1 year). Their bodies should be ready to accept and digest this cows milk by this time. At around 6 months you start putting the formula and all drinks in a cup. My son is 6 months now and...

lesleynejsmom Yea they usually say 10 months old but arpund 5-6 months is a good age to start introducing solids. The babies are getting older, it would make sense for them to go to the next stage by the time they are 5-6 months old. I started my son on rice cereal at about...

lesleynejsmom It's hard to tell someone that their relationship is not right for them, because you are on the outside looking in but in order to keep your friendship, you have GOT to let her make her own decisions. Whether they be right or wrong in your book. I've been in...

lesleynejsmom yea its really rough when your little one is out of control and it seems as though there is nothing you can do to comfort her. I don't know if you've ever heard of using Lavendar oil. I had a problem with my now 4 year old daughter getting to sleep and staying...

lesleynejsmom If your son WANTS to work, then maybe you should look for something small for him to do like 2 days a week for like a couple hours. He is still young but never too young to learn good work ethic. As far as your boyfriend insisting on your son working, thats...
