Do you keep clothes that don't fit you anymore?

amaleigh73 @amaleigh73 (499) • United States 6 Jun 07

Do you have a closet full of clothes that are too small that you hope to fit into again someday? I must admit that I used to be guilty of that. I would keep pre-pregnancy clothes hoping to somehow shrink back to that pre-pregnancy...

Breastfeeding in Public

foxyfire33 @foxyfire33 (10005) • United States 8 Feb 07

Breastfeeding a baby is a natural function that many mothers choose to nourish their child. Studies show that breast milk is, under normal conditions, the ideal food for infants. Unfortunately, the breast has been...

Breast Milk or Formula Milk?

gnamarie @gnamarie (39) • Philippines 8 Feb 07

I personally did mixed feeding for my daughter. My milk supply isn't sufficient so I had to resort to the formula milk. I noticed that babies prefer the breastmilk. Though there are lots of advantages & disadvantages of one from...

season888 breastmilk, definitely. problem in the philippines is the lack of information that mothers have. i'd say 98% of moms in the WORLD have enough milk to sustain their children. it's a matter of different functions: information, support, dedication.

season888 i don't agree that having a boy is necessary. it's just that in some cultures, the father prefers to have someone carry his name, but in my opinion, that's very chauvinistic.

What is a "Natural" Birth to You?

birthlady @birthlady (5609) • United States 25 Nov 06

Some think an epidural with pitocin is a natural birth. Some think no drugs, no intervention is a natural birth. Some think as long as the baby was not born by c-section, it is a natural birth. What do you say? What's "natural"?

season888 yes, the mother should be informed and be given a choice...hopefully, early on in the pregnancy so she has time to do research on her own.

Did you give having children a lot of thought?

Tesa @xphile777 (427) • United States 6 Feb 07
