Did you use a bumper pad in your babies crib?

dayzz25 @dayzz25 (552) • United States 13 Nov 07

I was told that I shouldn't use a bumper pad in the crib because it could cause the baby to suffocate if she can't roll over. She's eleven months old and she turns over on her own now. I took the bumper pad out of the crib but now...

nexis777 I used a bumper pad with both of my kids, and will with the one I have on the way :) I don't really think there's any way they can suffocate with it. We don't suffocate when we have blankets over our faces, they are breathable enough I just can't imagine a...

singlemommyforever @singlemommyforever (97) • Philippines 12 Nov 07

I went thru caesarian delivery to my first baby...compare to normal delivery you will not feel any pain during delivery..but the pain will come after you gave birth.. And it took 1-2 months when you can finally move normal..but...

nexis777 I would definitely put in another vote for normal delivery. Why? Because it's just that, NORMAL delivery. It is what God created our bodies to do. Obviously science and medicine have come a long way and we now have things like c-sections when problems arise,...

nexis777 I think the thing that will work best for you with your daughter is consistancy, no matter what training method you use. Whether you decide to spank, or re-direct, or time-out, or or or. What has to happen is you have to be consistent. That means that when you...

nexis777 I think my son would ask for bean burritos. He loves those! He's a big fan of yogurt and oatmeal too, which we have about 98% of the time for breakfast. My little girl who is 13 months, if she could ask, LOVES hotdogs. She's a good eater, and will eat most...

Dana5881 @Dana5881 (609) • United States 26 Apr 07

My son will be 4 this summer and he is still not completely potty trained!!! I don't know what else to do. He can wear underwear and will go pee in the potty throughout the day but will not poop in the potty. He will go hide, poop...

nexis777 My son was potty trained just after he turned two. He probably could have been trained earlier, but His sister was born when he was 22 months, and there was just too much going on for me to try and do that too. I had already practiced putting him on the potty...

children are very playful at times and we often lost our patience and do something that hurt them...but we all know that you did not mean,,how do you cope in this situation a s a parent?

nexis777 You're right, sometimes it is really hard not to get upset or impatient etc. I try very hard, as I'm sure most parents do, to reign in my temper if something is starting to bother me. Sometimes though, that simply doesn't do the trick. Usually I try and slow...

How do you deal with people smoking around your children? I live in a house but with three levels, each level is an apartment. The lady that lives above me usually does not smoke inside as when we all moved in the owners told us...

nexis777 I'm a non-confrontational type as well, so I guess I would say, wait and see if she ever does it again. If this is the first time in 3 years this has happened, it's probably not going to happen a lot, unless this is a friend she just met and will be having...

nexis777 I use hotmail, and I've always used hotmail. I've had the same address since I first started using the internet, so about a good 10 years. I've started other email accounts here and there over the years, but hotmail has always been my favorite by far. The ones...

nexis777 I definitely think it's wonderful that you are having your kids do chores. I fully believe that kids need to be instilled with a work ethic at an early age. I have a two year old who already cleans up his room and his toys in the living room, helps with...

Grandparents spanking your kids?-what do you think?

mckenziemom @mckenziemom (522) • United States 31 Jan 07

I spent a couple of weeks visiting my folks last summer and this issue came up. My father had mentioned to my husband that he had a belt handy just in case he thought one of the kids might need to be spanked. My husband was...

nexis777 Hmm, I guess I have a different outlook from most of the posters, as well as probably you yourself. I would prefer that my Dad (my kids' grandpa) spank my kids if they are misbehaving. Why? Because I want them to obey him. I want my Dad to like and enjoy my...

nexis777 I like fake nails quite a bit, just because I like the look of them ... french manicures primarily. I don't mind my regular nails though. I kind of go back and forth with wearing artificials or not. Usually if I'm going to do them I just buy some press ons...

nexis777 I talk to my Dad nearly everyday. He lives fairly close to me (about 40 minutes drive), so I see him pretty regularly too. I talk to my brother here and there, sometimes more than others, it just depends on what's going on.
